John Carpenter gotta love em. Assault on prescient 13 came out. Critics hated it, but in Europe it was loved. A year later it was re-reviewed in North America and it’s a classic. Halloween came out critics hated it. But it was re-reviewed and became a box office smash. The Thing came and received so much hate and was even nominated for Raze awards. Now it’s considered one of the greatest films of the 80’s. Big trouble in little China comes out to bad reviews, it dies at the box office, now it considered a classic. Do you notice a running theme here. John Carpenter’s films are ahead of their time. It takes awhile for critics to catch up. I guess their kinda slow.

Anyway, both of them apparently missed the comedic angle that ran rampant through Big Trouble in Little China. Siskel did actually slag on Kurt Russell for not being the heroic type, but the whole point of his character is that he thinks he's a classic hero but is really in many aspects a buffoon who vastly overrates himself (while still being courageous and occasionally competent). It's rather obvious that Carpenter and Russell played it this way purposefully. They're also wrong about it not being a spoof of kung fu films. It is certainly that in part, but also an homage at the same time. They just didn't get it. It's Carpenter's funniest film and a real triumph that demonstrates his great versatility. Too bad that audiences seemed to react to it the way Siskel & Ebert did.

The funny thing is after all these years it was Big Trouble in Little China that became a cult classic. This is yet another example of how art for the most part is completely subjective. Siskel and Ebert were not alone on their opinion of BTILC. The film flopped in theaters however over time grew a huge following once released on VHS. Not so long ago there was talk of a reboot which I'm glad never happened. The movie is perfect the way it is.

I've never gotten tired of seeing this one and Danny DeVito and Bette Midler are terrific in it, as always. Also, it is the only Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker film that wasn't a parody (it's actually a loose adaptation of O. Henry's _The Ransom of Red Chief_ ). Have not seen _Psycho III_ or _Big Trouble in Little China,_ but I understand that the latter has attracted a sizable following.

It's a very double sided film, one that is sometimes very trashy and yet can be too classy for it's own good. Watch it more for the characters than the story and it works.

I can't believe Ebert liked Psycho 3. Some of his taste was really questionable!

No.. Psycho 3 is an effective thriller. It's no Hitchcock but people have come around to it in recent years and recognized it for what it is.

Hard to believe Ebert gave the pass to Psycho 3, but not Big Trouble in Little China.

I liked Big Trouble in Little China but they do have a point that the writers/director could of taken more of an effort to make the audience care more about the characters.It is an action/comedy though not a drama and that is what they should of judged it on more.

Big Trouble in Little China was good campy fun. Not the best plot or story and not a great movie but it was enjoyable. The best movie in this set was Ruthless People, loved that movie so much. Siskel and Ebert both gave a great review of that film.

They missed the purpose of this film. It’s made to be a B movie and is a top comedy too! Classics BTILC!

About last night is the best film Demi and Rob Lowe ever did. Special effects did take over and, it's all computerized now. All done on green screens no real interaction.

Psycho 2 was great. It is very underrated and was written by Tom "Fright Night" Holland who is a good writer and I believe he did a thesis on Hitchock. Ebert is saying that Psycho 3 was better? Never seen it but I'm intrigued now.

Has anyone ever been so wrong about anything as these guys were about Big Trouble in Little China?
