I literally (ha) went through all the post and was so surprised to see this not on here. I mean, are you kidding me? This is the ultimate bad great movie, right there with point break. I've seen it so many times and I still have no idea what's going on. It's like you got dropped in the middle of a movie. P.S. HEAVYWEIGHTS. An all star cast featuring only a young Ben stiller and a bunch of fat kids and adults. Classic

What????

This movie is too good and was a big hit when it came out.

Big Trouble in Little China knows that it is a bonkers movie. In my mind the disqualifies itself from being a bad movie.

It wasn't a hit AT ALL, which really surprised me, because I always thought it had been a blockbuster too. I remember seeing both this and "Labyrinth" (another film that I thought had done better) in the same weekend at my local movie theater. When I was a kid, I thought that if something was on TV all the time, it must have made a lot of money. Using that logic, "Red Dawn" would have been the highest-grossing film of all time, with "Police Academy 2" in a distant second.

Anyone who doesn't recognize how FUCKING AMAZING this movie is doesn't deserve to use the Internet. Sure, make this an episode of the podcast; just talk about how great it is for an hour.

"BRiLC" is amazing.

Big Trouble is very knowing and wink-y. That's what makes it great. If they wanted to do a serious HDTGM, like they did with Crank or Punisher, then yes, that would be a fun episode (especially if it featured John Carpenter and Kurt Russell).
