Ask anyone familiar with the 1980s to name their favourite ten movies from the decade and the likelihood is they will mention 1986’s Big Trouble in Little China. The John Carpenter-directed action movie starred Kurt Russell as truck driver Jack Burton, as he inadvertently found himself fighting against an ancient sorcerer and his godly henchmen, as well as Kim Cattrall as the proverbial eye candy.

It’s a true cult classic and its critical rating has steadily increased as the years have passed. However, having cost $20 million to produce, the movie only raked in $11.1 million at the worldwide box office.
