I've seen it probably 15 times (if not more). It's a cult classic…one of those ones that's so bad…it's good. It's meant to be ridiculous and not taken seriously. Yes, the acting is terrible. Some of the characters and scenes will undoubtedly test your patience. The plot is too silly for words to defend. But, even though it bombed in the box office, it became a cult classic for a reason. It packs so much into about an hour and a half that it makes your head spin…because it's a hurricane of action-, fantasy-, adventure-, and sci-fi scenes that comes complete with Kung Fu, mysticism, and a love story all wrapped into one flick. <br /><br />And, even though it's billed as a comedy, I felt they had three pretty interesting 'bad guys'. For the time this movie was made, I would have to say, the special effects were pretty entertaining (and advanced for the 80s), and could definitely keep your interest. Visually, the Mother Nature aspect of the 'bad guys' was enjoyable for me…that is until Thunder expands and explodes. I never liked that part. I cringe at it because that visual has always been too much for me to accept.<br /><br />I think that if you haven't seen this movie until now, you miss a lot of context that would allow someone to appreciate it more…I mean it's from the mid-80s. I get it. If anything, see the movie to see recognizable actors in these ridiculous roles.<br /><br />So…I've read somewhere that The Rock is supposed to reprise the role of Jack Burton in a remake of 'Big Trouble in Little China'. I would be very curious to see how that would turn out because I personally think this one needs to be left to the 80's. <br />Yona Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04661104349650032168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-69287006900325116392018-08-12T06:56:38.540-07:002018-08-12T06:56:38.540-07:00I love this movie so much.

I have to admit I did enjoy Tremors though, although it's more funny than creepy. <br />I haven't heard of this movie before, but it sounds pretty bad. The plot also sounds a bit confusing at times. It's a wonder you watched this one all through the end. But it sure makes for a fun post to read.Lolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14284689418552571180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-47462518796837767972018-08-12T00:04:32.857-07:002018-08-12T00:04:32.857-07:00I was okay when I was a crazy mixed up kid but as ...I was okay when I was a crazy mixed up kid but as an adult I am thinking it needs to remain in the past, safely locked away in a vault.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-46542575585435230932018-08-11T20:28:41.512-07:002018-08-11T20:28:41.512-07:00I honestly don't know how you watched this.

This movie doesn't sound like "fun" at all. Instead, it sounds more like TORTURE. Lol. <br /><br />Sometimes Hollywood releases movies that are meant to be intentionally bad/funny. However, sometimes they also try TOO hard to be funny! That seems to be the case here.<br /><br />Last weekend, my husband and I watched "Stepbrothers", with Will Ferrell. THAT was another bad/funny movie. At first, I thought it was funny. But after a while, the whole thing of the 40-year-old stepbrothers who had failed to grow up just got OLD. Ha, ha!!<br /><br />Thanks for the detailed plot synopsis! And thanks for saving me from seeing this crazy, mashed up, stinking pile of you-know-what! <3 :) <br />Maria Beharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13635809880830316283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-30805236909625079452018-08-10T09:02:28.141-07:002018-08-10T09:02:28.141-07:00Oh lord this was bad..so bad.

He was sooo creepy in that! I didn't like how the movie tweaked Peter's heritage, but can see why they did it. It's one of those instances where the comic did it better, but I did enjoy how they incorporated Yondu in Star-Lord's life. "I'm Marry Poppins, y'all!"
