Big Trouble in Little China (1986)

Action Hero: Jack Burton Escaping the deserts of the American mid-west to the haunted underworld realms of Chinatown, San Francisco, this is THE LAST ACTION HEROES PODCAST Season 2 and we’re talking to whoever’s listening out there.We’re heading into our second episode with a heavy hitter (and even louder mouth), of the 80’s as they take a shot at the TLAH leaderboard with a machine gun in one hand, a knife in the other and the coolest vest/jeans combo Hollywood has ever seen. We are of course discussing JACK BURTON (who?!) from John Carpenters beloved cult classic BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA (1986).After making a delivery and catching up with some old friends in San Francisco, Jack Burton accompanies his friend Wang Chi home to collect on an outstanding debt. En route they make a detour to the airport to pick up Wang’s fiancée Miao Yin who is arriving from China that morning. But things go awry when Miao is very publicly captured by a Chinese street gang. Giving chase in his trusty truck The Porkchop Express, Jack and Wang trace the gang to a Chinatown back alley where things take a turn for the weird! As mysterious supernatural warriors seize Miao Yin for their master Lo Pan, our hero is suddenly swept into a world of Chinese mythology and black magic; a world he knows nothing about. Facing off against ancient supernatural powers, Chinese street gangs and strange monsters, Jack and Wang must rescue Miao Yin (and possibly, get Jack’s truck back in the process!!) before Lo Pan can reclaim his power and take over the earth.But has Ol’ Jack paid his dues? There’s only one way to find out. Join episode host BJORN and his 3 storms LEON, JESPER & DAN as they put the man with the amazing mullet, and even more amazing reflexes, to the test.Hit play, sit tight, hold the fort and keep those home fires burning…and if we’re not back by dawn…call the President. ---------- Find us on Twitter: @TL_ActionHeroes Or find us on Instagram: @thelastactionheroespodcast
