Big Trouble In Little China - Blu-ray Forum

X400 · 02-24-2008, 09:11 PM

So last night they kept showing this on the Fox Movie Channel... and i have to say it looks great... the quality looks like it was just filmed yesterday, the colour and quality of the print looks great, of course theres lots of black specks (mainly near the end of the film) but it doesnt look like they got a video from the 80s thats degenerated and aired it, it looks great!

i wonder if FOX will release it anytime soon :/

wow just read on wiki, that the movie was a flop in theatres when it came out! its like one of the coolest 80s movies to me and others around the same age

One of my favourite movie of all time. It needs a good soundmix remaster, the DVD sounded shit.

I agree, this is a highly underrated movie. Very entertaining. I saw it on the Fox replay as well and it would definitely be on my must have BD list.

A cult classic for sure. It was much like The Matrix Movie, in the theaters it flopped, then came out on DVD and took off.

There is talk out there of re-doing the master and releasing on blu in the future, just no firm date.

I loved this when I was a kid.

I wouldn't call "The Matrix" a flop...it made $171,383,253 at the box office.

If you don't believe me, click here and scroll down.

It's number 124.

I hope they bring the commentary over from the DVD. The commentary between Carpenter and Russell is absolutely hilarious!!

The Thing's commentary was hilarious too!

Here's another vote for BTILC on Blu. Been a fan ever since I saw it in the theaters (and despite it's poor box office take, the showing I was at literally had people cheering, clapping and laughing like it was opening day of the original Star Wars). It's been out on vhs, dvd, even UMD, seems about time for Blu.

EvolutionCherry · 03-03-2008, 08:27 PM

I'd buy this film as well! They should also release another John Carpenter/Kurt Russell classic called "Escape from New York." I'd totally buy both!

AaronSCH · 03-03-2008, 11:03 PM

Add me to that list. I would snap this one up in a second. Fox should also quickly release "The Abyss," a film which has never (to the best of my knowledge) been released on DVD with anamorphic enhancement.

You can get this from play.com, region free and with decent picture and sound quality. The extras is pretty good too:

Whenever Fox releases "Big Trouble in Little China" on Blu-ray, I just hope that they include the special features from the original 2-disc DVD release!

Spooner · 02-01-2009, 05:13 AM

big trouble in little china was awesome, i'd buy it on blu ray

Zydrate · 02-01-2009, 05:40 AM

Such a great movie. I'd pick it up without a doubt. More people should appreciate this movie.

emacs · 03-04-2008, 01:59 AM

i'm Chinese and i do cringe a bit at the sterotypes portrayed in the film. that said, however, one of my guilty pleasures is liking this film. i plan to purchase this film on Blu-ray when it's available.

MCT · 02-01-2009, 04:38 AM
