Big Trouble In Little China - Page 2 - Blu-ray Forum

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

The extras however are region 2 so won't work on US player. I found this out my self when i placed it in my 40 gig PS3.

Apart from that for a film made on $5 million dollars it has very impressive PQ.

Ah, that sucks! You sure there's not a PAL thing though? Why would they make the extras region B? I know that some European discs have the extras in PAL...

MCT · 02-01-2009, 03:19 PM

ah man, I didnt read that link closely enough...thought it was BTILC region free. Never seen Escape From New York. I remember the commercials cracking me up back in the day, though.

masob98 · 02-01-2009, 04:06 PM

this would be a day one purchase for me and that says alot cuz I only buy blus that I really like. This movie would be awesome on blu. I loved this movie as a kid.

(Fe)Man · 02-01-2009, 04:11 PM

No hesitation here. My second favorite Carpenter film ever. Kurt Russell is brilliant.

Awesome movie that mixes comedy, action, adventure and fantasy from John Carpenter and one of his finest.

I saw this in theaters 4 times as a kid and it rocked the house. The BD looks fantastic with quality detail and superb sound with nice extras.

And who thinks Thunder looked like a Garbage Pail Kid when he was about to explode and he blew up salad?

WaverBoy · 11-09-2014, 03:37 PM

This one just gets better every time I watch it. It took a while to grow on me; I don't remember liking it much the first time I saw it decades ago, but now it's one of my all-time faves. SO good. And the Blu-ray is absolutely SPECTACULAR.

Yessir, the check is in the mail...

RodChester · 11-09-2014, 04:05 PM

This is definitely one of my favorite movies as well. I recently went region free and got a copy of the UK Arrow release of the film. It has some new bonus features including a recent interview with Russell. I even have the logo for the Pork Chop Express tattooed on my left arm!
