Reel Steel: Big Trouble in Little China [70mm]

24 May 2025

19:00

Pictureville Cinema

Join Reel Steel on Bank Holiday weekend as they present a rare opportunity to see this one-of-a-kind, genre-bending film on 70mm.

A definitive cult classic from iconic director John Carpenter (Halloween), Big Trouble in Little China takes us to the streets of San Francisco's Chinatown, where loud-mouthed truck driver Jack Burton (Kurt Russell) finds himself caught up in a supernatural conflict when his friend's fiancee is kidnapped to be married to a 2,000-year-old evil spirit named Lo Pan.

Jack reluctantly leaps to the rescue—cue martial arts, bullets, monsters and one-liners, as he battles to save the world from evil, and hopefully get his truck back.

Following Escape from New York (1981) and The Thing (1982), John Carpenter and Kurt Russell reunited for a film which the director described as an "action adventure comedy kung-fu ghost story monster movie".

This screening will feature an introduction from Reel Steel.
