Released more than 20 years ago, one of Carpenter generation’s cult movies has recently received the privilege to be upgraded to Blu-ray. Fans of Jack Burton’s adventures in Big Troubles in China probably already know that this edition will give a third life to the movie, which was totally ignored at the time it came out and which finally succeeded when released in VHS and further in DVD. No doubt that this edition will, as usual, meet a new audience who will once again discover the story of Jack Burton (the great Kurt Russel) fighting evil powers.

Action fantasy tale about a wise-cracking trucker who attempts to rescue his friend’s fiance from a 2000 year-old magician who lives beneath San Francisco’s Chinatown. He must battle demons, goblins and other terrors as he makes his way through the magician’s dark domain.

To celebrate the latest video release from this legendary movie, 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment offers nice bonuses. In addition to director John Carpenter’s and his favourite actor’s voice over comments, fans will appreciate nine cut scenes in total as well as a new editing regarding the ending. All this will be rounded out with old school features, music clips of the original soundtrack, an exclusive interview from Richard Edlund (filmmaker) and various trailers promoting the movie at that time… Should you have never heard of this movie before or if you wish to discover it again, you sure know what to do best!
