"Big Trouble in Little China" is the best movie. Ever. Besides "High Fidelity." Witness.
"Hey, I'm a reasonable guy. But I've just experienced some very unreasonable things."
"You know what Jack Burton always says? 'What the hell...' "
"Like I told my last wife, I said, 'Honey, I never drive faster than I can see, and besides... it's all in the reflexes.""
"Everybody relax, I'm here."
"Ok, you people! Sit tight, hold the fort and keep the home fires burning. And if we're not back by dawn... call the president."
" Just remember what ol' Jack Burton does when the earth quakes, the poison arrows fall from the sky, and the pillars of Heaven shake. Yeah, Jack Burton just looks that big old storm right in the eye and says, 'Give me your best shot. I can take it.'"
"Ready? I was BORN ready."
"When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, looks you crooked in the eye and 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.'"
"Son of a bitch must pay!"
