Certainly not a good movie, but it's made worthwhile because Kurt Russell is so funny and the camp is so plentiful.

"What does that mean, huh? 'China is here'? I don't even know what the HELL that means!"
Lots of action, confusion, and plenty of one-liners make this movie fairly entertaining to watch. It's one of those movies that'll come on late at night and you'll either be dead tired or on drugs and wondering what the hell you're watching... but you won't change the channel.
"Son of a bitch must pay!"
This movie has a decent budget for special effects with lots of cool costumes and monster designs (almost as disgusting as John Carpenter's "The Thing"). This movie does NOT take itself seriously, so deal with it.
"Yeah, I know. There's something wrong with your face." -
MCT:November 6, 2008Jack Burton: You know what ol' Jack Burton says at a time like this?
Thunder: Who?
Jack Burton: Jack Burton... ME!
This movie is about a truck driver and his Chinese buddy taking on underground Chinese gangsters and dark magic.
Jack Burton: You know what Jack Burton always says... what the hell?
Kurt Russell delivers as many one-liners as possible amidst this ludicrous fantasy plot, that is fun only because no one really cares about what is going on.
Jack Burton: What is that stuff?
Egg Shen: It is black blood of earth.
Jack Burton: You mean oil?
Egg Shen: No, I mean black blood of earth.
John Carpenter and Kurt Russel have made another film together that is completely the opposite of The Thing, or Escape From New York. It is goofy fun that puts Russel in a hero role, despite the fact that he is the sidekick by the way the story works.
The movie moves extremely fast through a ridiculous amount of plot points in favor of keeping everything moving and full of action, special effects, and goofy moments.

Jack Burton: I'm gonna tell you about my truck, and I DON'T wanna hear "act of God"!
It's a fun cult movie, that gets better every time I watch it. It's filled with camp, special effects, and Kurt Russel coolness.
Jack Burton: I feel pretty good. I'm not... I'm not scared at all. I feel kind of... feel kind of invincible.
Wang Chi: Me, too. I've got a very positive attitude about this.
Jack Burton: Good, me too.

Jack Burton: Is it getting hot in here, or is it just me? -

John Carpenter heading quickly for "The Crap Years". Still, he managed to knock out this noisy, day-glo coloured romp which has endured as a classic lads movie. Carpenter perennial Kurt Russell has a right laugh as the boorish trucker hero, Jack Burton, all swagger and growls as he hurtles from one outlandish action set-piece to another. Sample quote: "Ready, Jack?" "I was born ready!"
