Playing in a manner that can be conservatively described as larger than life,
Kurt Russell plays a macho truck driver who agrees to go to the San Francisco airport and pick up his friend's (
Dennis Dun) fiancee (
Suzee Pai, freshly arrived from China. Suddenly, a gang of Chinatown toughs kidnap the girl right before
Russell's eyes. After a wild chase sequence,
Russell discovers that the girl has been abducted by a genuine, bonafide sorceror (
James Hong), the ghost of a 3000 year old warlord. And that's just for starters.

A Visually Effective Martial Arts Action Fantasy.
Filmmaker John Carpenter combined stunningly special visual effects, the Martial Arts, fantasy-adventure, and comedy into this action-packed Martial Arts fantasy. Kurt Russell stars as Jack Burton, a macho independant trucker, who joins his good friend, Wang Chi and a army of Martial Arts warriors in combatting an ancient sorcerer, who intends to make Wang's beautiful fiancee his wife to break an ancient immortality curse. Kim Cattrall also stars a feisty lawyer hoping to break the Chinese syndicate. Also starring Dennis Dun, James Hong, Victor Wong, Kate Burton, Donald Li, Carter Wong, Peter Kwong, James Pax, Suzee Pai, Chao-Li Chi, Jeff Imada, Rummel Mor, Craig Ng, June Kim, Noel Toy, and Min Luong.
