Directed by: John Carpenter
Starring: Kurt Russell, Kim Cattrall, James Hong, Dennis Dun
Kurt Russell is a cocky truck driver, who drives through Chinatown with his friend and they witness a rival gang fight between two rival gangs in an alley way, until three strange martial artists show up and start beating both gangs. Kurt Russell and his friend leave Russell's truck and go to a local oriental eatery, and find out, that the three martial artists they witnessed fighting, kidnapped his friend's girlfriend for a oriental master who is very old and needs women with green eyes to become young again. Kim Katrall also stars as a reporter who helps Kurt Russell and his friend find his girlfriend. With the help of the wise eatery owner, they all break into the masters layer and try to rescue the girlfriend before its too late.
Continuity mistake: When Jack Burton and the rest of the gang escape from the Wing Kong Trade Centre the first time, the guards fire at the left side of the bus breaking the windows and making holes in the bodywork. When we see the bus a few seconds later as it is driving away, it appears undamaged.
Jack Burton: Hey, I'm a reasonable guy. But I've just experienced some very unreasonable things.
Trivia: Even though Kim Cattrall and Suzee Pai portray characters with green eyes, both actresses actually have brown eyes in real-life. Both had to wear green contacts for the film.
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.
