Only saw BTILC a few years ago. Was expecting a movie that was racist but tried to wave it off by being ironic about it, and was happy to see the script was way more insightful than that. Although, like with Verhoeven's "Starship Troopers" most viewers probably didn't catch that.
Jack Burton says to remember what he always says, but I never do.
@ardgedee Yeah, I've always loved the way Carpenter went all-in on both his Chinese cast and a total dedication to taking the Chinese mythology very seriously and the white guy "hero" so, so not.
