This is coming from an Asian American perspective, but I think that it was important that Wang couldn't be seen as a foreigner (or even a recent immigrant), that, even though he lives and does business in Chinatown, and knows the local lore, he's still an American, and is just as familiar with America and American culture as anyone else.Īs for a remake with Dwayne Johnson, a huge factor regarding whether or not that would work depends upon his willingness to play the sidekick who thinks he's the hero. Jackie Chan, Jet Li, or any other of the established Hong Kong martial arts stars wouldn't have worked as well as it did for Wang, in my opinion, if for no other reason than their accents. Kurt Russell's Jack Burton was great, especially since Big Trouble in Little China wasn't that long after Escape From New York.

That is, a kung-fu adventure movie taking place in the U.S., with two main characters, one White and the other Asian, and it's the Asian character who had it the most together and who got to do most of the heroic stuff. I wave to him every time, he flashes his lights.Īs a Chinese American, we kind of felt that John Carpenter was sneaking something by on our behalf. He does a speed tap at the same spot a few days a month. "I'm not gonna write you a ticket for this stuff, just know that if you get caught being a jackass, all that is gonna get added on." He looked the bike up and down, then started walking back, but turned and said like a goddamn gunfighter in the old west, "oh, and never ride faster than you can see, besides that, it's all in the reflexes."

"You know that sign by your license plate is illegal too, right?" "I understand though, your bike is pretty loud." He follows. He looks down and asks, "do you know it's illegal to ride with headphones?" Bumbling along, because it's a Harley and not a sportbike, I'm a little unnerved when I get pulled over just before I reach I-285 on camp creek.īike is shut off in a taco bell parking lot as this immense black cop walks up to me. I'm on my way home from work, near Atlanta, shortly after I got it two years ago. It's technically illegal, but so are most of those lights you see under the bikes, so I'm not too worried. Since Harleys are affectionately called "Hogs", I have the scrolling bar programmed to say "Pork Chop Express". I have this little scrolling LED bar under the license plate on my Harley. But a lot of movie critics over analyze movies to the point that they miss everything about a movie that makes it good in the first place. A good old fashioned action/adventure movie that doesn't take itself seriously and you're not supposed to take it seriously. David Ansen wrote, in his review for Newsweek, "though it is action packed, spectacularly edited and often quite funny, one can't help feeling that Carpenter is squeezing the last drops out of a fatigued genre." In his review for The Times, David Robinson felt that Carpenter was, "overwhelmed by his own special effects, without a strong enough script to guide him."
However, in his review for the Chicago Sun-Times, Roger Ebert wrote, "special effects don't mean much unless we care about the characters who are surrounded by them, and in this movie the characters often seem to exist only to fill up the foregrounds," and felt that it was "straight out of the era of Charlie Chan and Fu Manchu, with no apologies and all of the usual stereotypes." Paul Attanasio, in the Washington Post, criticized the screenwriters for being "much better at introducing a character than they are at developing one". It got bad reviews from a lot of critics, also it was released around the same time as Aliens so when you put the two together, not many people went to see it.
