This movie's not good?
OK, well then when some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, and he looks you crooked in the eye and he asks you if ya paid your dues, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that: 'Have ya paid your dues, Jack?' 'Yes sir, the check is in the mail.'
I watched the movie for the first time recently and I enjoyed it. I had no nostalgia of it what so ever.
With that said, you should really stop trying to tell others why they like something. Especially a movie of all things. So what if they like it? what's it really to you that this thread needed to be made? All rhetorical questions btw.
The answer is simple. You're a bored troll. Bye now bored troll.
The movie certainly has a lot of energy and is a lot of fun.
shareNot at all. I enjoyed it from the moment I saw it, which was at the theater when it opened. Most people I knew enjoyed it. Certainly, not everyone did. No one is right or wrong. But there seems to be a movement these days to ascribe nostalgia as the only reason some movies are considered popular. The movement seems to arise from people who don't like a film and simply cannot conceive that other people will have a different opinion.
shareI think you’re right, Costumer. Our world has become so lazy that people can’t be bothered to formulate an articulate statement of an intelligent thought. They prefer to rely on generation-based hostility and slogans they’re read on a tee-shirt. Maybe we need to make an app that spits out, in complete sentences, well-formulated posts for the brain-dead to plagiarize. “Alexa, tell me why I hate this fucking movie.”
shareI always liked this film, and through the years my appreciation of it has grown. Due to the setting, it really isn't one of those films that has an 80's feel, but just happened to be filmed and released in the 80's. I feel that the film holds up and is a bit underrated (at the time, I don't think everyone completely understood what the film was trying to accomplish, and maybe was too "different" a film for some, especially critics).
shareNo, it's not that good a movie, but it's a fun movie, a cheesy adventure with a colorful and unique look. And it had an Asian-American actor as a co-hero rather than a sidekick, which was unusual for the 80s.
shareActually, Otter, Denis Dun is the protagonist in the story, so the script was a problem for the studio. They had imagined that Kurt Russell would be the hero. That may account for the half-hearted promo for the movie.
shareI disagree, i still think it's hilarious
