    Big Trouble In Little China is one of my very favourite movies of all time. James Hong & Carter Wong were the real stars of the movie. Of course Kurt Russell & Kim Cattrall were great too.

    damn I miss the 1980s in 1990s I almost work to the John Carpenter in the new Halloween franchise. I was so close to being in the second and third film. I flew back and forth to Wilmington North Carolina but at the end of the day I didn’t get the part but it was an honor to audition for them. I’m not gonna lie I think about it every day. PS I love how he just smoking a cigarette, like it’s nothing.

    haha yes, they have to do these close up/angles on the interviewer, to have coverage of her asking the question, just in case they need to cut to her.

    It's how you film a conversation with only one camera. An alternative is to film both people in a wider "2-shot," but making one face fill the screen is preferred. I like that it was included here. I've also seen it done in the opposite order to give the subject time to prepare answers, but that seems even less authentic than having hosts rephrase questions.

    What a beastly, racist, passive aggressive hag. Disgusting individual. The video is hilarious though, and John handled it with such class. He is such a magical and insightful director. Miss your movies, John, but will forever re-watch your work on my TV as well as in my heart. You shook the pillars of heaven, my friend.

    the questions were previously agreed (the proof is that in the replies at the end, she also recited "but it can hurt the film", so even J.'s answers were prepared beforehand): with this interview he wanted to clarify once and for all the imbecile accusations of "racist stereotype"

    Yeah, I think he was talking about kung fu movies back in the early 80s and 1970s which did have a sort of innocence to them. They were working with massively lower budgets but made up for it with heart. He did say they had a beauty.

    @@zerpblerd5966 Production design was fantastic on BTILC. Not to mention it had everything--likeable characters, story, comedy, romance, action, magic, monsters... you name it. There wasn't anything else like it and there hasn't been since; it's utterly unique. The closest thing is maybe Kill Bill, but unlike Kill Bill, BTILC had a distinct look and feel all its own. They Live and The Thing are also good--especially The Thing--a horror classic. They Live was good conceptually, but it suffers from a low budget--or looks it. It feels like a short story expanded to a movie.
