- It's American as can be. Even if you're not American, you gotta admire the passion that Jack Burton carries about him and his fellow countrymen.
- It's cheesy as hell. There is not one real thing in the movie that truly could happen. Yet.
- It keeps it's Chinese roots. Even though the movie is American and set in China, us the viewer, really feel like ancient Chinamen run around present day Chinatown.
- Green eyes for Chinese girls are a rare miracle. But get this: There are always others.
- Any way possible to get in or out. Example: To get out of a den, use a fireman's pole.
- The entire movie's point is to stop a royal wedding.
- Jack Burton isn't the real hero. He's a sidekick.
- 2 unlikely best friends must save 2 hot ladies with green eyes.
- Magic potion is real. Very real.
Movies are a microscope, sometimes a telescope. I make movies and I watch them. These are little blurbs about movies, my moviemaking, and the future of movies.

I'm on a journey, are you coming with?
