"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?" "Yessir, the check is in the mail." - Jack Burton
"Jack what? I'm suppose to buy this shit? 2 thousand years he can't fine one braud to fit the bill come on dave you must me doing something seriously wrong." - Jack Burton
"You were not brought upon this world to GET IT, Mr. Burton!" Day one buy! One of my favorites of all-time!! Will probably blind-buy 12 Rounds as I enjoyed The Marine a lot.
I love the news and this means that there will be BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE WALLET come August 4th since Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown also come out that day.
What the? "Big Trouble In Little China" and "My Cousin Vinny"? I never thought I'd see those come out on Blu-Ray so quickly! I'll definitely get those!
"Just remember what ol' Jack Burton does when the earth quakes, and the poison arrows fall from the sky, and the pillars of Heaven shake. Yeah, Jack Burton just looks that big ol' storm right square in the eye and he says, "Give me your best shot, pal. I can take it." - Jack Burton
This is Jack Burton in the Pork Chop Express, and I'm making my way to a day one purchase of Big Trouble in Little China on the big ol' Blu-ray!
Now FOX, BTILC is an important release.
Don't miss up and forget all the extras, subtitles and, please re-do the cover (cf dvdtown.com) cause it's plain tacky and gives a cheap look to this awesome film.
