Inspired by the Baddest Fight Scenes EVER! series composed mostly and originally of videos from user guggs222, I’m making an entry on a Big Trouble in Little China scene I remember watching tens, maybe hundreds of times when I was a kid.

I remember when the Motal Kombat game came out, the three storms part (by the end of the video) and a part at the end of this movie was, at least for me, the ideal representation of what Raiden had to be like if a movie came out.
Needless to say how disappointed I was with the Mortal Kombat movie.

Big Trouble in Little China was a mix of action, martial arts, chinese legends and comedy directed by none other than John Carpenter.

It has some ridiculously funny scenes, special effects, some absurdities, but overall a very awesome movie.
I dunno how a kid these days would take an old movie with dated effects and stuff like this today, but I still think the movie is great!
Very random, but still great! xD
Strange as this may sound, this movie also presented and inspired me great respect of chinese legends and culture… something I didn’t have much contact before.
Of course you can’t trust much in a Hollywood movie to know history and real legends, but I think you know what I mean.
