They reviewed the Hellraiser Revival game's Cenobite Collector's Edition, comparing it to the previous Leviathan edition and noting the lack of a signed Clive Barker print as a key difference. The hosts watched a new developer diary for the game, showcasing more detailed Cenobite animations and gameplay footage with Doug Bradley's voice work. They also discussed upcoming Hellraiser conventions including Mad Monster Party in Arizona and Days of the Dead events in Chicago and Atlanta, featuring several Cenobite actors. The podcast concluded with plans for their next book club discussion of "The Body Politic" from Books of Blood Volume 4 and a vote on which 1987 film to compare to Hellraiser. Hellraiser Developer Diary Discussion Ryan and José discussed technical issues with audio and video settings before planning to watch a developer diary video about Cenobytes and Pinhead from the Hellraiser series. José shared a link to a YouTube video and they briefly discussed its content, though Ryan only watched a 30-second preview due to the initial link issue. The conversation ended with Ryan asking about "Team French" but the question remained unclear due to audio issues. Nightbreed 4K Restoration Discussion José and Ryan discussed a new 4K restoration of the film Nightbreed, including both theatrical and director's cuts, with enhanced features like Dolby Vision HDR, new artwork, and a companion book. They reflected on previous collector's editions and debated whether physical media releases, including 4K, would continue to be relevant given the rise of digital formats. Both agreed that while digital media is growing, physical media will likely persist in some form, particularly for collectors and professionals in the film industry. Physical Media's Enduring Relevance José and Ryan discussed the ongoing relevance of physical media in the age of streaming services. They noted that while streaming has become popular, limitations in internet speeds and the temporary nature of licensed content on platforms like Netflix mean physical media will likely continue to have a place. They highlighted how streaming platforms have shifted focus toward producing their own content rather than licensing existing material, leading viewers to seek out older content on alternative platforms like YouTube. The conversation concluded with appreciation for companies like Arrow, Shout Factory, and Turbine Media that continue to produce physical media releases. Nightbreed 4K Release Discussion Ryan and José discussed a new Arrow Video 4K release of Nightbreed, comparing the UK and potential US versions. They noted that the UK release includes exclusive extras like behind-the-scenes footage and UK-specific content, though they were uncertain if these features would be included in the US version. The UK release is priced at 30 pounds, which Ryan and José considered a good deal, though they agreed to wait for the US release to potentially save money and see if it includes similar extras. Hellraiser Game Edition Comparisons José and Ryan discussed the differences between various editions of the Hellraiser Revival game, including the new Cenobite Collector's Edition priced at $199. They compared features between the Leviathan Edition and Cenobite Edition, noting that the Leviathan includes a hand-signed art print while the Cenobite edition features a Cenobite statue and other exclusive items. The discussion highlighted concerns about the long pre-order period, which has been ongoing for about a year since the last pre-order update in June 2025, and they noted that the new dev diary "Cenobytes" provides additional footage of Cenobites in the game. Hellraiser Revival Collector's Edition Discussion José and Ryan discussed a Hellraiser Revival Collector's Edition, which includes a Cenobite statue, puzzle box, enamel pins, and a digital soundtrack. They watched a dev diary video showcasing the game's features, including platforming elements and various Cenobite characters. The video highlighted the game's focus on grotesque scenes and jump scares, with Doug Bradley's involvement adding credibility to the project. José and Ryan noted the game's potential for a gradual descent into horror, similar to Big Trouble in Little China, and expressed hope for an upcoming release date announcement. Temple of the Killer Tiger Monkeys Ryan and José discussed the audio drama "Temple of the Killer Tiger Monkeys," which features original Cenobite actors including Doug Bradley, Simon Bamford, and Nicholas Vince. They agreed to create a future podcast episode about the series, potentially including an interview with Simon Banford. The conversation also covered Ghanaian movie posters, specifically a Hellraiser poster by artist Heavy J, which is now available for purchase through Deadly Prey Gallery. Finally, they mentioned upcoming Hellraiser and Nightbreed conventions featuring the Cenobite actors. Horror Conventions and Content Planning José and Ryan discussed upcoming horror conventions, including Mad Monster Party Arizona in July 2026 and Days of the Dead events in Chicago and Atlanta. They expressed interest in meeting Peter Atkins at the Chicago event in November 2026, with both planning to discuss time off work to attend. José also mentioned upcoming content plans, including a book club discussion of "The Body Politic" from Books of Blood Volume 4 and a vote on a 1987 movie to compete against Hellraiser. Horror Movies Discussion Ryan and José discussed various horror movies, including The Lost Boys, Prince of Darkness, The Gate, Bad Taste, Angel Heart, Beaks, and Iron Warrior. They shared their opinions on these films, with José expressing a preference for Bad Taste due to its chaotic nature. Ryan mentioned his interest in watching Prince of Darkness, The Gate, or Angel Heart again. They also briefly discussed actor Stephen Dorff's role in The Gate and his appearance in Blade. The conversation concluded with José mentioning Nicholas Vince's recent campaign for the Green Party in the UK elections. UK Elections and Media Discussion José and Ryan discussed recent local elections in the UK, with Ryan encouraging José to vote for Nicholas Vince in future elections. They then talked about editing a podcast episode, noting that while some parts like screen sharing would be easy to edit out, removing fillers like "ums" would be more time-consuming. The conversation concluded with a discussion about a Hellraiser script booklet, comparing different versions and discussing whether certain autographs were real or printed.

SPOILER'D: They Will Kill You — The Ending, The Pig Head & Why the Immortal Twist WorksFull spoilers. No mercy. Cupcake and Mike are diving all the way into They Will Kill You, Kirill Sokolov's gloriously unhinged action-horror film starring Zazie Beetz, Patricia Arquette, Heather Graham, and Tom Felton.We break down every major beat: the burning axe scene (an all-timer), Heather Graham's rogue eyeball, the hotel's satanic hierarchy, what the devil's pig head actually means, and that ending. We also talk about the film's surprisingly sharp class commentary, the Get Out-adjacent themes of power and sacrifice, and why this is one of the most fun hard-R genre films in recent memory if you go in with the right mindset.Think Kill Bill's gleeful brutality meets the John Wick hotel mythology meets Big Trouble in Little China's "just catch up" storytelling energy — and you're in the right zip code.───────────────────────────────

Safe inside their semi-truck, Rory and EJ accidentally come across a war between ancient Chinese societies! Now they must make the difficult choice between getting involved to help defeat a dark lord who has ambitions to leave the world in darkness or take the much more cowardly path to stay home and review “BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA” with Marcie Riebe! So without further ado, here's their crummy review! Age of darkness here we come! 

Have ya paid your dues, Jack? Yessir, the check is in the mail. It must be Conflict-in-Asian-Enclave Week this week, as Andy joins us in checking out a couple of well paired and much loved cult classics: Big Trouble in Little China (1986), directed by the great John Carpenter, and Showdown in Little Tokyo (1991), directed by Mark L. Lester. More bromance than romance but more than enough ass-kicking to satisfy anyone. Get ready to rumble! Fair warning: we go into the plots of both films in some detail, including the endings, but we feel like these movies are somewhat unspoilable, so we won't be announcing a Spoiler Territory section for either of them.

Dave Before we get much further, we can already feel your collective blood pressure rising over this month’s movie selection.

So let’s everyone put … Continue reading "EP105 – Big Trouble in Little China (1986)"

We kick off with the Great American Outdoor Show highlights: the Henry Mare's Leg in the X-Model, Taylor's & Co.'s badass short-throw 9mm lever action (including that Space Cowboy version collab), and Whiskey River Antiques loaded with old-school surplus munitions. Then we dive deeper into The Running Man follow-up—turns out Christopher Reeve was originally cast as Ben Richards before major script changes that turned a darker, more book-faithful story into the over-the-top '80s action classic we know. Would it have stuck closer to Stephen King's novel with Superman in the lead? We speculate! We vent about the dumbest internet comments out there (why do people even?), geek out over classics like Big Trouble in Little China, Top Secret!, Tom Selleck's detective flicks, and why owning physical media for movies and music still rules in 2026. Grab a seat—this one's packed with guns, movies, rants, and laughs. Thanks for hanging!

Few films have experienced reputational turnaronds like John Carpenter's Big Trouble in Little China. Now a beloved classic, it was equally ignored by critics and audiences upon its release in 1986. Why did it bomb so badly? Could it be remade now?

Send a textA truck driver who can't stop asking questions, a friend who does the real fighting, and a sorcerer who waited 2,000 years for green eyes—there's a reason Big Trouble in Little China refuses to fade. We dive straight into why this cult classic still sparks debate: the self-aware camp, the electric synths, the rain-soaked neon, and the audacity of casting a swaggering, lovable bumbler as your poster hero.We break down Kurt Russell's Jack Burton as a brilliant misdirect—loud, lost, but weirdly brave—while Wang carries the narrative weight and the martial arts grace. That inversion lets John Carpenter poke holes in the American hero myth without losing the popcorn thrills. From practical monsters and the iconic knife throw to uneven but ambitious fight staging, we pull apart the craft that makes the movie sing. And yes, we talk about the moments that age poorly—forced flirtations, accented English used among Chinese characters—and how the satire lands alongside the stereotypes.Carpenter's fingerprints are everywhere: the synth-driven score that snaps scenes into focus, the pulpy color palette that turns Chinatown into a fever dream, and the long partnership with Russell that keeps risk-taking fun. We trace cultural ripples into 90s pop culture, Mortal Kombat parallels, and why this film bombed before becoming midnight-movie royalty. Two of us call it pure five-star joy; one of us gives it a thoughtful seven, intrigued enough to chase The Thing next.

This week on the Exciting & New podcast, Jason,  Andy and Dana welcome newcomer Herbie to the show to discuss the 1986 adventure comedy Big Trouble in Little China.  Once again we dive into the John Carpenter/Kurt Russell pool for some mid 80s fun.  This movie mixes all the adventure of Raiders and all the wire fu of a good martial arts movie to meld into something else entirely.  The hunt is on to find a woman with green eyes, which, as it turns out, encompasses half the females in the cast (although colored contacts were needed for both) and Kurt Russell is at his all time beefiness with his iconic tank top.  Come along for this wild ride and enjoy the podcast.Jason, Andy and Dana will discuss a 1986 movie weekly, breaking down all the nonsense there within. The 3 hosts all work together and everyone else around them was getting really annoyed at all the movie talk, so they decided to annoy the world in podcast form.Check out previous seasons to hear them discuss 1982, 1983, 1984 & 1985 movies, as well as a full season of Love Boat episodes (if that is your thing). Plus one-off specials and a weekly mini "what are we watching" podcast.#jezoo74 #aegonzo1 #danacapoferri #exciting_new

Send us a textThis week we talk about Big trouble in little china from 1986! Our creator profile this week is Cary Hiroyuki Tagawa!https://www.instagram.com/thebonsaimoviecrew/https://twitter.com/bonsai_crewhttps://www.tiktok.com/@thebonsaimoviecrewhttps://discord.gg/8jCPe8T2kT#moviereview #podcast #moviefan #filmpodcast #moviepodcast #film #nostalgia #classic #kurtrussell #80s #comedy #cultclassic

We open with the shock of Carrie-Hiroyuki Tagawa's passing and step through the moments that defined him: a scene-stealing Shang Tsung in Mortal Kombat, a gallery of elegant villains across 80s and 90s action, and a deep, steady practice in martial arts that prized control over violence. That contrast powers the story—how a performer built on breath, precision, and presence could turn wafer-thin dialogue into lines you still quote, then reappear years later with the same gravity reshaped into empathy.We dig into Tagawa's training in kendo and Shotokan under Masatoshi Nakayama and how that discipline informed his screen work. The conversation pulls no punches about typecasting and yellow peril tropes that lingered in Hollywood, from Big Trouble in Little China to network TV, and how Tagawa often transcended the parts he was offered. Along the way we revisit touchstones like The Perfect Weapon, Showdown in Little Tokyo, License to Kill, Rising Sun, Planet of the Apes, Tekken, and a surprisingly rich run in animation with Star Wars Rebels and Visions. Then we pivot to his quieter triumph: a measured, humane turn in The Man in the High Castle that proved his range extended well beyond menace.The final act explores a surprising chapter—Tagawa's late-life connection to Russia, conversion to Orthodox Christianity, and an articulated desire to serve and heal. In his own words, a true warrior carries compassion. Through that lens, the career of a “villain” reads as a masterclass in restraint, intention, and dignity, delivered over more than 150 screen credits. If you love film history, character acting, martial arts philosophy, or the craft of turning stereotype into substance, this one is for you.If this resonated, share it with a friend, subscribe for more deep dives on film legends, and leave a review telling us your favorite Tagawa performance.

It's Die Hard in a police station!This week on DIE HARD ON A BLANK we're battening down the hatches with Ethan Hawke and Laurence Fishburne as we discuss the 2005 remake of ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13!After a botched undercover drug bust results in the deaths of two of his fellow team members, traumatized Detroit cop Jake Roenick (Ethan Hawke) now works an unambitious desk job, where he oversees a quiet, remote precinct that's about to be decommissioned. However, when a busload of prisoners – including notorious gangster Marion Bishop (Laurence Fishburne) - are forced to take refuge at said precinct because of a brutal New Year's Eve snowstorm, Jake suddenly finds himself called back into action when mysterious masked gunmen assault the police station… After comparing and contrasting this film with John Carpenter's original 1976 classic (itself a loose remake of RIO BRAVO), the guys discuss the myriad DIE HARD (and DIE HARD 2) DNA on display in this pressure-cooker siege scenario, while musing on the possibility that the echoes of previous wars (Vietnam, the Iraq invasion) may be reverberating inside both versions of the story. They also discuss the idea of the “action-horror” subgenre in this surprisingly gory picture, as well as Ethan Hawke's post-TRAINING DAY action-hero run. Awards are handed out to the stellar ensemble cast in the DIE HARD OSCARS section, and as always the episode culminates with a cheeky edition of the DOUBLE JEOPARDY trivia quiz!TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isoX0zcyG-4At the time of release, ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13 is streaming on Starz and Philo in the US, and is available to rent or buy on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV/iTunes, YouTube, Fandango and all the usual platforms! It is also available on physical media!The original 1976 version is also currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video, Fubo, Roki, Pluto TV, Kanopy, Shout TV, Plex and The Criterion Channel!Click here to subscribe to our Patreon feed 48 HOURS OF BUDDY MOVIES, where we've discussed other John Carpenter classics such as BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA and THEY LIVE!www.patreon.com/48hoursofbuddymovies Hosted on Acast.

"Spooky season" is almost over. (Ugh) The guy who came up with the marketing catchphrase "Burger King: Where YOU rule." Things about my new car. (That I missed half the talking points for, shit) I went to see two brand new movies: Good Boy, and Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere. They went about as well as the rest of the new releases of 2025. Big Trouble In Little China 2 may be on the way, but "someone" had an idea for it a long time ago. I bought a GI Joe comic book, because I was getting laid WAY too much and had to find some way to stem that non stop flow of cheerleader pussy.

After years we wrap up John Carpenters Apocalypse trilogy with Prince of Darkness.  A film that went places I never expected.  In my opinion a very forgotten horror film, since i didn't even know it existed until Ken. Get ready for a lot green goop and a very unsettling film. We also have 2 actors from one of my favorite movies which really threw me off.  Sit back and listen to us discuss this film in depth. Starring Mike Albertin, Tiffany Albertin, Kenneth Sanity, and Bill Tucker.

Kurt Russell auditioned for Han Solo but lost out to Harrison Ford. Well, if you ever wanted to get a glimpse of Kurt Russell's Han Solo, watch Big Trouble In Little China. We talk all about John Carpenter's cult-classic Western/Martial Arts fantasy, comedy, hell it has its own genre. Also, Kim Cattrall. Come on. Thanks for listening to our highly acclaimed movie podcast and please share a link with a friend, family member, or co-worker who loves these movies as much as you and us! And always, be kind, rewind, relax, and enjoy the show.

In the forty-eighth episode of Season 11: The Son of Cult Flicks, Kyle is joined by actors Ben McGinley and Nick Earl to discuss the high-fantasy blend of genre, from the American western to the Shaw Brothers kung-fu epics, in John Carpenter's unapologetically wild immersion into action hero tropes, the power of community, and a commentary on the fear of the unknown in the cult sensation Big Trouble in Little China (1986).

The year is 1986 and it's an action kids dream! Highlander, Big Trouble in Little China, Delta Force, Cobra, Iron Eagle, Aliens. The list can go on and on. All of these have been covered on the show. But alas, there's always one to slip through the cracks, and no it's not Howard the Duck. Month of Action has come to an end for 2025 and yet there was one figure missing from this entire month. Arnold. And only Arnold could slip through the cracks of his own fame. 1985 he had Commando and 1987 he had Predator. Two of the greatest action movies ever made. But what happened in 1986? Well, they gave Arnold a Raw Deal and now they're about to pay…with their lives! Raw Deal gets its redemption starting now!
