Big Trouble in Little China..
This movie was on tv yesterday. Anyone else love this movie? I've watched it twice in the past week. I love it when the one evil storm becomes disgustingly fat and blows up.

1. Love it! I own the DVD.
That film is one of the delightful 80's genre of perfectly self-contained sf/fantasy romps. Buckaroo Banzai was another, as was Highlander until they fucked it up with sequels etc. Jack Burton is the perfect loudmouth doofus who just sort of happens to come down on the right side of the issue.

Also, the lightning effects in BTILC seem a bit dated now but were really close to state of the art at the time.

Raiden in the video game Mortal Kombat reminded me of BTILC.
