Big Trouble in Little China the Game: Never Roll the Dice Faster Than You Can See

When I think of 1980s movies, one that always comes to mind – and one of my all-time favorites – is the Kurt Russell flick, Big Trouble in Little China. I nearly wore out the lone VHS copy my local video store had. If you like the movie as much as I do, you’ll want this new board game.

The Big Trouble in Little China board game sends players on adventures as they must survive against the baddies in the alleys of Chinatown. Each game takes 120 minutes and has lots of dice rolling, role playing, and storytelling in the mix. Players can customize their tokens, and the main quests have companions and minion difficulty based on the number of players.

The coolest part is that you can play this board game solo, that is a rarity in board games. Adjustable difficulty means even solo players might beat Lo Pan. Considering today is April Fool’s Day, and this is ThinkGeek listing, you’ll be happy to know this thing is real. Though you might want to check Amazon for a better price, or you will be a fool.

 

Jack Burton Action Figure Only Drives as Fast as it Can See

Back in the ’80s, Kurt Russell was in some of the coolest movies out there. He was Snake Plissken in Escape from New York, He was Cash in Tango and Cash, and my favorite of all was Jack Burton in Big Trouble in Little China. If ever a man was made for a mullet, it’s Kurt Russell.

Sideshow Toys has an awesomely detailed Jack Burton action figure on the way. He’s wearing his jean jacket and has that awesome Asian-themed wife-beater sleeveless tee on.

The action figure even comes with that creepy floating eyeball guardian thing, though Sideshow is quick to point out that it doesn’t actually float. Really?

The figure is 1/6th-scale (~12″ tall), and comes with multiple hand configurations with clenched fists, relaxed hands, gun hand, and knife hand. There will be only 1500 of these made with each selling for $239.99(USD). You can pay it out in payments of $54 monthly too. It’s expected to ship between January and March 2018.

Big Trouble in Little China Pop Vinyl Figures: The Check is in the Mail

Kurt Russell has been on some of my favorite ’80s flicks. He played Snake Plissken in Escape from New York. He also played in one of my favorite ’80s action flicks, Big Trouble in Little China. I love that movie and have seen it a zillion times.

Each of the action figures is 3.75-inches tall and is officially licensed. You can pick up all of them at ThinkGeek for $9.99 each. I have to watch this movie again tonight after seeing these. I live by Jack Burton’s creed: “I never drive faster than I can see. Besides that,it’s all in the reflexes.”
