Only one of the BEST cult classics from the 1980’s sci-fi B list movies you can find. I literally watch this at least once a week. Love Kurt Russel movies #PorkChopExpress

The best movie ever made in life. Enough said.

Hilarious and full of action!

One of the best goofy original cult classic movies out there. A must see in my opinion. It’s on my top 5 list for sure

When I saw this for sale I brought it.

This is the greatest movie of all time. Who tells you, Jack Burton that’s who. All the 80’s action, fx’s and one liners you could hope for.

Wang Chi: “Nothing or double, this knife cuts this bottle in half.”

Margo: “I must be so monumentally naive”

Eddie: “You are.”

Egg Shen: Black blood of the earth.

Egg Shen: What it sees, Lo Pan knows.

Jack Burton: “I...I don’t get this at all—“

Lo Pan: “Shut up Mr. Burton! You were not brought upon this world to get it.”

Love this movie! One of John Carpenter’s best films! It’s campy, fun, cool with the visual effects and crazy characters! Kurt Russell is great in this.

This is my favorite most watched movie of my life. There are tons of movie’s I’ve watched repeatedly but none as much as this. I love the concept. The hero of the movie is basically the sidekick and doesn’t know it. They don’t make them like this anymore.

One of Carpenter's most enjoyable movies.

Absolutely entertaining

Satire and over the top funny fun flic

Great movie , great cast I watch it just about every holiday!!!😁

Burton’s wise cracking, 80s martial arts glory, characters who are there only for exposition, and a line up of villains that can’t be beat! (well, *spoiler* they do...kinda)

This is one of my all time favorite movies! Kurt Russell is a great actor. This is a classic in my household! My family always used to gather around the tv and watch it! “It’s all in the reflexes,” and “the check is in the mail.” Those are my favorite lines from the movie. Love every minute of it! From beginning to end this movie is simply the best!

While the tight focus on a few characters allowed for character development and showcased great acting, the movie failed to convey the scale of the battle, and the non-linear presentation of events was confusing at first.

One of the best movies ever made.

I loved it funny as you'll get out

Idk what this is about

I tried to buy this favorite movie of mine twice, but the audio was TERRIBLE. It seems most people don’t notice it, but I have a 4K HDTV with surround sound, and the underwater audio is too much to ignore. It doesn’t make sense cuz the preview sounds fine, and the audio problem has been brought up before, based on a few old reviews.

I’ve checked this several times, and I’m not sure if it’s everyone’s version, but the audio is constantly “flanging” sounding like a guitar effects Flanger or Phaser! I have no idea why! Anyone else experiencing this?

P.S. Movie is amazing, sound is just aggravating me

Great movie, a must own, so entertaining

It is absolutely amazing

Already said it all.

Great movie BiG trouble is a Cult classic. The only problem with this digital release is the audio. There is some type of audio distortion when watching the movie on an Apple TV.

Great fun entertainment,awesome characters.

Great movie. Funny, good time length, etc. worth the watch.

It's pretty crappy that iTunes has this excellent John Carpenter movie priced the same for both HD and SD. Wouldn't it be nice if they cared about the consumers of their products?

Best movie ever?

Yes.

This movie is great but the audio through Apple TV was horrendous. Buyer beware and please check you audio doesn't sound like you are underwater for half the film. Contacted iTunes support about the issue.

This review is an excerpt from my book “Killer B’s: The 237 Best Movies On Video You’ve (Probably) Never Seen,” which is available as an ebook on iBooks. If you enjoy this review, there are 236 more like it in the book. Check it out!

Dismissed on release as a Raiders of the Lost Ark wannabe, today it couldn’t look more different. Once Jack drives into that alley, we enter another world: a disorienting labyrinth of inscrutable Oriental mystery. What we’ve got here is a grand-scale comic book adventure about Eastern magic butting heads with Western concretism. And you know how much it hurts to butt your head against concrete... No wonder Russell mimics The Duke throughout the flick—although the movie has more in common with John Woo than John Wayne.

Jack’s a complex guy for a comic book hero: far braver than he realizes, but nowhere near as smart as he thinks he is. Half the fun lies in watching this concrete-minded cement-head trying to grasp the idea that most of the action he’s involved in takes place not in reality, but on a mystical plane. When one character informs Jack that “China is here,” his response is to growl, in a deadpan rush “‘China is here’? What does that mean, ‘China is here,’ I don’t even know what the hell that means.” Wonderful, energetic performances, numerous quotable lines, superb effects and cartoonish martial arts all add up to a delightfully over-the-top action comedy.

This was what the 80s was all about. Imperfect heroes who you could laugh at AND think were awesome at the same time, villains that were more focused on being interesting rather than “badass” or “realistic”, and just… just a fun time! This will make you laugh and has some fun action, good times!

Big T in little C is an awesome pre Mortal Combat classic! Perfect for 1st dates because Big T in little C = P in the V, just wait and see!

Anyone who gave this a bad rating has to be the stupidest idiot alive or a child who has no clue as to what this meant to our generation. Big Trouble in little China was a revolutionary film with break through effects and a hilarious use of one liners. it established it self as a tongue in cheek one line humor fest. Love Love Love.

Do I have to say anymore?

For that movie BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA, it should of almost been a Trucker movie but it wasn't, well it was a little bit, but The Semi-Truck in that movie didn't last long but in the ending part when they got out of that evil thing or what ya ma call it where they found that Semi-Truck in that garage where it was stolen in that movie but it was a good Kurt Russell movie from 1986 tough!

This is the greatest movie ever made, hands down. I own every version of it (including the PSP UMD, and I don't even have a PSP) and through my numerous viewings, it only gets better. One-liners for days, teeming with 80's bravado and rife with hilarity to boot. I've based my entire life on this movie and Jack Burton's teachings and have never met an obstacle I couldn't overcome, or bumble my way through.

If you don't like this movie, you're probably Wing Kong.

Such a great movie! Kurt is awesome as always

good movie

Wonderfully entertaining. It's funny and full of action! One of my all time favorites.

I love this movie it has action its funny it's serious the syfi action is awesome I can watch this movie all day

This is a great movie. I hate to sound this way but I think the people that didn't like it didn't get it.

Kurt Russell and Kim Cattrall in a Sci Fi, Kung Fu, comedy. V

If you can get past the goofy storyline, it's worth watching. Very funny!

This is one of the best movies to come out of the 80's. I can't believe Roger Ebert gave it a rotten tomato, he's way off. This is probably my favorite Kurt Russell film. The special effects are excellent for a movie that came out in 1986. It has a bit of martial arts mixed with some Chinese mysticism.

The movie was very actionney because the Chinese black magic was very creepy. I am time traveling back to 1986 CA, Chinatown.

What makes a movie a classic? Well if you ever owned it on VHS, get it here now!! Not only was it something different when it came, but a martial arts fan will appreciate some of the great martial artist in the movie (yes.. there are some real legends in this movie). One of my all time favorites.

This move got it all funny acting, martial art, comedy, funny looking people and great story line. Apple is there any way u can try to make this movie to purchase in HD beside renting it, I would love to buy it in HD

I thought that this was an enjoyable comedy. I liked it when Kurt Russell's character fired his gun at the ceiling and a rock fell on him. He passed out! : D : D

This is an awesome movie!! Cult classic!!

If you've never seen Big Trouble in Little China before, I might envy you. I envy you if you have a big taste for gonzo over the top fun with comedy, martial arts, and of course "Magic. The darkest magic." His soul swims in it, you know. I envy you if you're about to watch this movie for the first time. I was in college when this came out. I don't know how many times I went back, but it was a lot. It's one of the most quotable movies I know.

I don't envy you if you've never seen it and never will. You lead a very sad life. Or even worse, if you're going to see this and hate it. *shudder* I imagine such people really do exist out there... trudging through life, sore from all the time they have to spend pursing their lips at all the fun stuff they disapprove of.

Oh well. If not for them, who would the fun people have to pity.

For the rest of you sitting around, saying (in a manly voice that's nevertheless getting a little irate), "Somebody I don't care WHO tell ME what is going on!"... the greatest favor I can do is tell you to download this bad boy, turn it up, and ignore all phone calls.

This is the type of movie you can watch over and over and never be tired of it!!! Jack Burton is the definition of cool. It blends action, comedy, martial arts, drama, horror, all perfectly. Trust me this is a permanent addition to any library. May the wings of liberty never lose a feather!!!!!!!

The one to see!

What can you add? This is one of the best movies you will ever see and wonder why you like it so much. Sometimes cheesy sometimes great but entertainment at its best, if you have not watched it, better check your crtics badge and sit down and enjoy!

Honestly, right up there with Army of Darkness, Escape from New York, Evil Dead, Killer Tomatoes. Russel does an excellent job of the over-the-top, swaggering, doofus hero. The plot, stunts, costumes, monsters, etc are right out of a comic book. Carpenter just makes no pretense that this is going to be a ride from the first five minutes on. I own the DVD, VHS, and may have to buy it when it goes Blu-Ray. John Carpenter is a under-appreciated genius.

This has been my favorite movie since I was a kid! But I wish iTunes would make it available to buy also!

I think this is a fantastic show. Yes, it is a bit campy, but that is the point. It is fun and funny - making fun of almost every type of movie genre there is. Too much fun to watch.

A classic deconstruction of the 80's action hero, Big Trouble in Little China takes the standard hardboied action hero and turns him into a blowhard, with all the action happening out of his control. Never has an American action hero been so hapless. The movie plays all the action film conventions for laughs while providing some outstanding kung fu sequences. Woefully overlook when released.

This is one to purchase and keep. A rental seems so unfair. Sure, it's great to be able to watch it this way, but not offering the choice to buy it is cruel. Come on iTunes! If it's rentable, it should be buyable too!

If you love this film, check out The Thing also directed by Carpenter and starring Russell. Heck, while you're at it research all of Carpenter's films in his catalogue. YOU CAN'T GO WRONG!!!!

no question.....best movie ever!

The UK iTunes store is a disgrace compared to the US store.Why? We only get a handful of TV shows and no movies.Thats why I went to CHEAPER TUNES and got a US iTunes account.Now I can get get what I want.I buy US gifts cards,redeem them and enjoy the show.I rented out this movie and watched it twice a row.It's Silly nonsense but great fun.Waken up Apple and treat us British customers with more respect!

Honestly, this is one of the stupidest movies I've ever seen. It's a must see. It's THAT weird.

One of the best movies ever! Clever one liners that will keep you rolling. This movie has it all, high kicks, low kicks, laughs, gouls, demons, girls, and much more. Oh and did i mention Chineese black Magic? This movie will definately engulf your living room in green flame and keep you asking for more.

Fantastic! One of my all-time favorite cult classics! Up there with the Evil Dead Trilogy, Goonies, Wierd Science, Breakfast Club! Action, comedy and romance all in one!

I'm new to iTunes, but I do know this, ANYTIME I have an issue with ANYTHING on here, it's fixed, or someone is working to fix the issue. I think this is a fab idea, I think this is going to go far. Hey, and if something happens to my download, those cool agents, they are always ontop of things. I have never had such ROCKIN' customer service. Way to Go!!!

wow, what a great movie! It's funny, action-packed, and one of the only movies dealing with Chinese Black Magic!

Not just a cult classic, this is one of the movies from childhood that, along with "Time Bandits", "Back to the Future" and "Silverado", have left indelible marks on me as a lover of movies. Very few movies are this much fun, and it looks like everyone making it was in on the joke. One could say it's the precurser to Steven Chow or Jackie Chan films that didn't take it's martial arts so dead serious. I can't remember how many times I've seen it, or how many times I roll my eyes watching it. Great fun.

This movie is one of John Carpenter's better adventures. Kurt Russell plays the egotistical Jack Burton extremely well, delivering the cheesy macho lines in the way they were intended.

Beautifully filmed (the fight scene in the alley), this has been one of my favorites from Carpenter for a long time with "They Live" a close second.

this is a great movie and has some of the greatest lines ever. it is very typical of 80's acting, not great, but has great martial arts and is a great overall movie

This is one of the most imaginative, funny, and unique movies that I have ever seen. If you have a good sense of humor, appreciate memorable characters and exotic environments, and want to have some fun; then you can't miss with Big Trouble In Little China.

Perhaps one of the greatest movies ever? The cover alone is amazing. Maybe I am a slave to my generation, but they sure don't make movies like this anymore.

Fun older movie to watch. Not a great piece of drama illuminating the human condition, but a fun way to kill an hour and a half.

This is one of the best action movies ever made. Don’t take it too seriously, it is more of a comic book come to life.

For its time the effects were top notch. Even today watching the “storm” warriors is still fun (one of which inspired Radian’s character in the Mortal Combat series of video games!).

This is one of the best films to come out of the 80's. Sci-fi, quirky comedy, great optical effects, plus great characters is all you need to think about the good old days and have fun. Personally, I think this is one of Kurt Russell's best films. He's absolutely hilarious! Who can deny John Carpenter's genius for creative and original storytelling?

Big Trouble in Little China is amazing. Action, adventure and comedy are all here, and the result is one of the best cult classic films of all time. I must have seen this movie 50+ times, and it never gets old. Jack Burton (Kurt Russell) is the character that everyone would like to be just for a day (maybe more). Driving around in The Pork Chop Express, beating up the bad guys, scoring with the ladies.....it's all in the reflexes for Ol' Jack Burton!

I feel I can say without any hesitation that Big Trouble is one of my favorite films of all time. Kurt Russle is at his best (although Road House was reat as well) and you will be left with a great satisfaction after watching the movie

An endlessly entertaining action/adventure that dosen't take itself too seriously, this film is perfect fare for the Ipod.

Big T Little C is hands down the best movie to ever grace the silver screen. A true classic. Timeless. Get a load of Jack Burton...and if i'm not back by dawn, call the president!

I've loved this movie since I was little (only 23 now, but still). Renting is ok, but this is one I'd like to have on the 'pod permanently! What's up, Apple? Sell it!

Perhaps one of the best movies to come out of the 1980's. "Black blood of the Earth!"

this movie is one of the collest movies ever

Indeed!
