Other mistake: Early in the film, Jack says Lopan had "light coming out of his mouth" but Jack was already blinded and couldn't have seen that.
Big Trouble in Little China (1986)
21 mistakes
Directed by: John Carpenter
Starring: Kurt Russell, Kim Cattrall, James Hong, Dennis Dun
Jack Burton: Ok, you people! Sit tight, hold the fort and keep the home fires burning. And if we're not back by dawn... Call the president.
Trivia: Kim Cattrall was surprised when she got to the set for the prison scene one morning, as no one told her she would be hogtied for the entire scene (in the story, it was due to a deleted scene when she made trouble for her guards). She endured it like a professional, occasionally having her gag removed so she could drink water. When asked by John Carpenter whether or not she was uncomfortable, she simply replied 'I've been in tighter situations than this!'
Question: Why didn't Jack and Wang run to Jack's truck instead of the basement in the alley after the gang fight?
Answer: Because the battle between the Chang Sing and Wing Kong was between them and the truck.
