Synopsis

September’s Staff Pick Series: Big Trouble in Little China, presented by Tyler! Every month, we showcase our hardworking Bear Tooth team’s favorite films. “ This is Tyler Pangonis—aka the Porkchop Express—and I’m talking to whoever’s listening out there! I’ve worn a few hats at the Bear Tooth, from security to serving in the Theatre. I chose Big Trouble in Little China because nothing beats seeing it with a crowd—while watching, it’s easily the best movie ever made. I live for happiness and want 350 of the happiest seats possible. Enjoy the show! ” A truck driver, Jack Burton, is pulled into Chinatown conflict when a sorcerer kidnaps a friend’s fiancée, forcing them into a hidden war of gangs, magic, and prophecy beneath San Francisco.
