Big Trouble in Little China: The COMIC !!

[Masato]

Hey all

HUGE fan of this movie. Here are the first 6 pages of a rather nice-looking production. Wishing well to the creators Boom! Studios - comic books are hard work.

From what I can tell, this is NOT an adaptation of the movie, but a new spinoff storyline based on the character and world, which IMO is 1000x cooler. (adaptations are usually heartless works of greed)

Here are the first 6 pages:

LOL Thats kind of awesome(ish). Its a cool way to turn an iconic (turd) into something cool as an adult.

That movie was great when I was a kid, but it REALLY didnt stand up to the test of time very well. This comic helps to make up for that. :D

- The art is very cool, look's kind notalgic.
Don't remember the movie, i like the fact that Raiden and Fujin are based on caracters of that movie.

Joe I must wholeheartedly disagree, lol

IMO that movie stands up BETTER with time. When it fist came out no one understood it, and supposedly it bombed.

It was released in an era of action movies, but this film was more of a comedy. The hero was not really meant to be taken seriously, he's kind of a heroic fuckup. I love the flick, it takes so many cliche ridiculous elements I love and weaves them together into something original. One of my favourite movies.

I find kids really love it too, my kids do at least. Has a few mellow curse words in it but that's it really for questionable content.

Edge you would LOVE it man. Lots of classic lines lol

I guess in a sense it reminds me of a 'Bad Japanese Indiana Jones' (of sorts)

Yes it was plenty entertaining as a kid, and I wont go so far as to say I 'dislike' it as an adult. (I would watch it if it were on) but buying the DVD or other digital media for nostalgia's sake?

No thanks :)

That was just incredible.

I just started watching it again right now. Egg just did his thing at the attorney's office.

This movie rocks. It is right up there with 'River's Edge' on my most watched movie list.

In about 2 hours, +1!

John Carpenter was way ahead of his time. This cult classic was a box office flop.

Unbelievable.

I just had an epiphany listening to Kurt Russel on his CB.

Chael Sonnen swaggerjacked Jack Burton, big time.

- Kurt Russel is awesome, i can't think of anybody better for that role.

And they gave us Mortal Kombat characters.

OK! You people sit tight, hold the fort and keep the home fires burning and if we're not back by dawn *wink* call the president.
