Wang should take over some of what Egg did, and Jack should have some degree of disfigurement after getting jumped by the yeti.

They have to get the original tank top from, uh, I think Robert Rodriguez owns it now for references to make an exact duplicate, and just put a huge rip in it where the yeti clawed at him but still have it be the only shirt Jack Burton's worn since the 80s.

The best way to make a sequel to Big Trouble In Little China is have it be set exactly one year later and Jack Burton has a throwaway line about how he �got married for a little bit, got divorced for a little bit; it�s been a hell of a couple of months, Wang,� and nobody says poo poo otherwise about how everyone has aged.

You gotta keep it in the 80�s.

If the first names secured for it aren't James Hong and Dennis Dun why even bother?

I remember whenever a sequel was brought up in the late 90s-ish it was to be titled Little Trouble in Big China with most of the action taking place in China itself.

With how scared movie titles are of using numbered sequels these days, I propose the name being Big Trouble in Little China: Little Trouble in Big China.

But then the next one has to be Medium Trouble in Medium China.

I always thought "Big Trouble in Hong Kong" would be a good sequel title.

I watched Big Trouble for the first time in the past year and honestly I feel like anyone trying make a franchise out of it is a loving coward. It's so unique and stands so well on its own that you're a loving moron if you think you could possible make a sequel to it.

Big Trouble in Little China is so good and has such an unusual sensibility it feels like it's from a different, better universe.

Also, Jack Burton was supposed to be a side character in the stillborn Buckaroo Banzai Vs. The World Crime League, so he was always supposed to be part of a cinematic universe.

Hong is something near 100 at this point, so I can understand if he's not getting the call. Of course, hes still acting at his advanced age so if both he and the film survives development hell, I'd gladly would love to see him again as a resurrected Lo Pan.

I saw him at at a convention and he was practically being propped up like a scarecrow

Action Jacktion: Jun 3, 2003

In the 1990s Peter David was hired to write a sequel which he titled More Trouble in Little China. Egg Shen would've been the only returning character. His screenplay was later adapted for TV but nothing ever came of it. You can read the TV script here (if you can stand the background):

Yeah, he looks amazing now, it would take 4 of him to fit into those giant jorts he used to wear! I also found out that famous tweet by him was written by his wife because Birth.Movies.Death (of all sites) tried to attack him for hating women because of it and his old Weinstein connections.

I could have sworn that, years ago, he said he made a bet with a friend that they each tweet the worst possible thing from each others� accounts and leave them up.

Now I�m even more upset about not getting Buckaroo Banzai vs The World Crime League.
