I love that movie and the reason why most men love it is becuase we've seen it at an age where it was all comic book action, pretty women, and the good guy beat everyone up no matter what.
The movie didn't take it's self very seriously at all but, was done very well and became an 80's classic. Of course the martial arts helped, the radyen guy rocked, as well and the guy who grew until he blew up was clutch. I also think the John Wayne impression worked better for Kurt then it did for John.

This is one of the wildest stories ever: a cartoon come to life and a mixture of an old-time serial with modern special-effects with bold colors all the way through.
This movie is pure tongue-in-cheek. One just has to take nothing seriously in here and just go along on the wild ride. From the nonsense mystical Chinese sorcery that is taken so reverently, to the American hero "Jack Burton" (Kurt Russell) who displays the fearless macho man, to combatants flying through the air (this was 15 years before Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was filmed), to one exotic character and situation after another - it's all absurd fun.
Russell plays his role to the hilt, playing his favorite kind of role when he was younger: brash, bold and an ignoramus who fears absolutely nothing. His lines are deliberately corny and one can bet he had a lot of fun making this movie. He even gets in a few good comedic lines. His partner, Dennis Dunn, is a likable guy with a devilish grin on his face and Kim Cattrell plays the more modern damsel-in-distress role to the hilt, too.
They could have lightened this up a bit on the action - it gets to be too much at times - but the movie is just slightly over an hour-and-half. It still wore me out the first few times I saw it.
All in all: ludicrous fun, a kind of Indiana Jones in Chinatown adventure flick.

Yep, it was directed by John Carpenter (who also did Halloween and the Fog) and it starred Kim Cattrell from Sex and the City as a girl with green eyes. I think it was from 1986. It had some kind of hairy monster in it and a giant ball with multiple eyes.

On a scale of one to five stars? 4 stars (considering how many years ago it was made - clever for it's time) Fun movie

I still can't belive the Kurt Russell got paid for doing a bad John Wayne imitation through the whole movie!

Classic cheesy 80's movie that I loved as a kid. Kim Catrall is in it also. As one of the "green eyed" girls.
