Roger Cormier<\/strong> and Mental_Floss<\/strong><\/a> present 10 Huge Facts About Big Trouble in Little China<\/em><\/strong><\/a>.  Here are three of my favorites…<\/p>\n
7. THE STUDIO DEMANDED THAT THE BEGINNING OF THE FILM  BE CHANGED.
\n<\/span><\/strong>Barry Diller felt that Jack Burton wasn’t heroic enough, so after production wrapped, Carpenter went back and shot an introductory scene where Egg Shen (Victor Wong) says Jack is a courageous man. Had Diller not said anything, the film would have begun with Jack driving. Carpenter didn’t necessarily want Burton to be seen as the hero; he wanted both leads to be considered the film’s heroes.<\/p>\n
9. KURT RUSSELL WAS LED TO BELIEVE IT WOULD BE THE BIGGEST MOVIE OF 1986.<\/span><\/strong>
\nRussell had never, before or since, been asked by so many members of the press what it was like to be in the biggest movie of the year than when he was promoting Big Trouble in Little China<\/em>. After the test screenings went really well, Russell said he “kept waiting to see ads and things that just didn\u2019t happen.”<\/p>\n
10. THE ROCK WANTS TO REMAKE IT, WITH CARPENTER.<\/span><\/strong>
\nCarpenter said he’s “ambivalent” about the idea. New movie or not, there’s been a comic book series that picks up from where the movie ended. And if you can find it, there was a Big Trouble in Little China<\/em> video game released in 1986. A secret screen on the DVD contains images from it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
