All the Hobgoblins News Your Heart Can Stand!Because you demanded it! And by you I mean someone you don't know. Look. Someone somewhere out there demanded it. Was it you? Because if we find out the rest of us are going to come to your house. Let he who demanded a Hobgoblins 2 and a 20th Anniversary special edition DVD of the original speak up now. I'm waiting.
Cool deal. Jack Burton in hi-def, can't go wrong there.

Quite possibly, one of my favorie movies of all-time. Period. I NEVER get sick of watching it and quoting the film. Just the other day, some guy at work asked me if I was ready to go to a meeting, and I said "Yep, ready when you are Egg.." and he looked at me like I was retarded.

Stripped down, I really love Big Trouble in Little China. However, I've always felt the mystical stuff and the kung fu scenes could have been better and more epic. I know Chinese Ghost Story came out a year later but they had way crazier stuff in that than what we got for the American release. I don't know, I guess they would screw it up now unless Tsui Hark was directing the re-make so maybe I don't want a see a remake now.

I can maybe see a They Live remake(the movie was great in it's own way but they could do so much more nowadays) but for the love of cheese, leave Big Trouble alone. It stands up just fine even today.

I really think of all the John Carpenter films from his golden era, this and They Live are the two that could probably benefit from a remake more than Halloween or The Thing.

I assume this will have the same special features as the 2001 Special
Edition DVD?
