It's all in the reflexes
Jack Burton (Kurt Russel), a trucker, brings his friend Wang Chi (Dennis Dun) to the airport of little China to pick up his soon to be wife. But then she gets kidnapped by some chinese gang and Burton and Wang Chi follow them and try to save her.
That's the plot. Looks simple, something we've seen a million times. But what happens after makes this movie awesome. Because when they arrive at some place, they end up right between two feuding chinese clans who start slaughtering themselves and then 3 chinese ghostpeople arrive and fight them and a last chinese guy in weird makeup arrives at the end too and then they end up kidnapping the soon to be wife and then it's all about rescuing them.
Yes, it is crazy. But it works. I had lots of fun watching this movie, so much is happening and even though it is weird and crazy, you get what's going on.
The acting is good, Kurt Russel is so funny, he is really a great actor.
The only bad thing in my opinion are the lightning effects, which are of their time so really, it's overseeable.
All in all a fun movie, I give it 4 out of 5 stars.
