I also rewatched Big Trouble in Little China with some friends over the weekend, and it remains one of the funniest bad movies I’ve ever seen. It’s got some great dialogue, and beautifully cheesy effects. If you’re already a fan of this movie, check out the fan site The Wing Kong Exchange, particularly the huge sound files area. We also watched The Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension, which is supposed to be funny in a similiarly bad way, and also has a strong cult following (see the Banzai Institute), but which I didn’t enjoy nearly as much. Sure, it’s got a great 80’s vibe, and it’s hard to resist a sci fi movie with John Lithgow, Christopher Lloyd, and Jeff Goldblum, but it was too much bad and not enough funny.
