Description
[School of Movies 2016] The second of our commissioned shows, this time we delve into John Carpenter's underappreciated (and downright ignored on release) mythical, gangland, kung-fu adventure Big Trouble in Little China.  Kurt Russel (clearly having the time of his life) stars as the obnoxiously macho Jack Burton, self-styled cowboy hero who gets caught up in a kidnapping involving an ancient sorcerer, warring gangs and elemental magic he couldn't possibly understand. We explore the cultural implications of this being made in 1986 and the mooted remake starring The Rock.  Guests: Neil Taylor of TheKiddDogg Brendan Agnew of Cinapse Kaoru Negisa of Sequentially Yours
