\nThough the Big Trouble book showers rightful praise on costume designer April Ferry, Russell says he had a hand in selecting his character\u2019s distinctive footwear. He had Jack Burton\u2019s \u201cfunky, high-top moccasins\u201d specially made in Aspen at a shop he happened to know about.<\/p>\n
\nPeter Kwong tells the authors that his scenes as Rain, one of the villainous Lo Pan\u2019s well-armed lieutenants, were so intense that he was under the impression that Big Trouble was merely \u201can action-adventure with a mysterious ghost story.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nActor James Hong plays two versions of iconic bad guy David Lo Pan: the ancient old man, and the younger sorcerer. His on-screen transformation comes courtesy of both a bust of Hong that was covered in clear, flexible skin, carefully painted to look like Hong in his old-man make-up, and by fading the lights off outside the bust while fading the lights inside the bust on. According to Johnson, the scene was completed in just one take.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
