I worked on this. Animating (2-D) much of the electricity that comes out of Lightening. Worked at a cool FX studio in LA called Boss Film. We handled all the visual effects for the film. John Carpenter was great. Easy to work with. I did the scene too where you see Chinese characters floating in the air a bit before disappearing after Lightening gets killed by Kurt Russell. I wasn’t supposed to do that but I did it anyway as a tribute to Carpenter. I didn’t tell anyone I did it. So when Carpenter saw it in dailies and asked someone what is that? They found out it was his name in Chinese. I had a Chinese girlfriend at the time so I asked her to write down those Chinese characters meaning John Carpenter. Then I just drew them into the electricity. Carpenter loved it! So he kept it in the movie. Why it’s still there. Fun project. All the way through.

I've never stopped loving this movie and is probably my favorite movie that John Carpenter Directed. He is also one of my all time favorites Directors.

[@bengelman2600]

A movie about a sidekick that thinks he's the hero. Genius.

[@MrAnaheimification]

I’m quite certain I’ve watched this movie 2-3 times a year for 40 years. It’s one of my favorites!

[@randallphobia8698]

I’ve always loved how Jack has no clue that he’s actually the sidekick.

You know what Jack Burton says at a time like this?

[@MrNowhereland]

I (still) have one of those wool pull-over hoodies (from Mexico by way of San Diego) Russel wears, just a different color, used to live in bay area, spent many times in Chinatown hanging out, in the 1970s, visiting small Chinese noodle movie theaters (kung fu films) Bruce Lee movies, Who remember the Golden Dragon restaurant shoot out with Chinese gangs? (machine guns) Love SF and Chinatown, sadly only a small section remains today.

Suzee Pai was fire

[@MrCarpen7er]

Carpenter called this his 11th film, which it was but wasn´t since both Elvis and Someone's Watching Me! were tv movies.

[@nebo1186]

Russel and Carpenter are 2 bad mofos

[@MayumiC-chan9377]

always thought the 3 element brothers were ripped off of Lone Wolf and Cub’s Hidari Brothers
especially since they’re wearing Ronin-Gasa

Wait I know that voice! That's Roy Fokker!
