hey kurt we got a role for u, u play an inept john wayne trucker who gets mixed up in a chinatown kidnapping turf war, ok? yep, is the check in the mail?
I hope someday Kurt Russell and John Carpenter come together to come out with recordings of various Jake Burton, new and old phrases.. I have a DVD with Russell and Carpenter doing commentary and they’re laughing and joking together as a perfect pair , sometimes I watch the DVD just to hear them and their jokes right along with the movie.
" It's all in the reflexes." Is my catchphrase at work.. I get asked all the time who actually says that, and I say "Jack Burton,ME!?."🤣 The kids still don't get it.
The year is 2023 and this is still the best intro into a character’s mindset without OVER doing it. Simple. Elegant. Its times like this ole Jack Burton would say: Hell yeah
I'd have to say that this is my favorite movie starring Kurt Russell. When they cast him as Jack Burton, they hit the nail on the head. NOBODY could play Jack Burton better than Kurt Russell. The intro to this movie is Awesome! I have this movie on dvd.
Some of these producers that gave directors like Carpenter a hard time for a particular movie vision that didn't line up with their straight forward formula should be grateful for movies like this that are now considered cult classics
I love how he slips into a straight up John Wayne impression the way he says the last line, "... to think that we're all alone in this universe." The delivery is unmistakable
