	Big Trouble in Little China \| Reverse Shot
		Big Trouble in Little China is his lightest success, carefree with its own mythology and expansive in its gifts—the soft-shoe his horror triumphs couldn’t inherently manage.
		Big Trouble in Little China is the all-American rabbit hole, full of intrepid female journalists, flashy restaurant managers in Chevy sedans the size of big-rigs, and tour bus drivers (“bus for tourists!”) as the transcendental sages of the hour.
		Big Trouble in Little China, like Escape from New York, is a dodge against type: Carpenter not as a master of horror (since Halloween, that has been his burden), but an entertainer in the broadest sense.

	Big Trouble (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Big Trouble was set for release just before September 11, but its subplot involving getting a bomb past airport security and onto a plane proved too touchy for movie studios.
		Big Trouble, based on the novel by Dave Barry, is an almost screwball comedy with a mammoth cast of talented actors, most of which do not have much to do.
		Big Trouble does slowly mushroom, taking small events and misunderstandings and having them snowball out of proportion, but instead of feeling of feeling bizarrely natural, some of the antics feel forced, as if they were put into the story just to make it funny.

	Big Trouble (2002)
		Trouble, Windtalkers and Collateral Damage all were supposed to show up on screens in the fall of 2001, but studio execs decided they all hit too close to home to release them at that time.
		I guess the studio execs thought that would be too troubling in the days right after September 11, and they might have been right, though the scene’s satirical intent seems too clear for it to be anything upsetting.
		Big Trouble appears in an aspect ratio of approximately 1.85:1 on this single-sided, single-layered DVD; the image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.

		Big comes into it after the defense, not during.
		If that something is an attack, then technically it's aiding his attack, but only in the sense of replacing the penalties up to his limit of 5 (the demon's Power).
		Big can be used a lot like Vitality for purposes of checking the effects of lasting damage, even during the fight itself.

	Big Trouble (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		"Big Trouble" is a smorgasbord of comedy -- there's farce, slapstick, fl humor, theater of cruelty, clever ripostes, non sequiturs, absurdity, romantic comedy and a toad that spits hallucinogenic juice.
		Its release was postponed because of the terrorist attacks, but it may be at least a generation before anyone finds funny the sight of characters running around airports with a nuclear device and lax security personnel waving a bomb through checkpoints.
		Trouble starts when a Miami arms dealer receives a nuclear bomb that everyone insists looks like a garbage disposal.

	Top Box Office Movies - Big Trouble
		Yet ‘Big Trouble’ seems to have had much more to say and chooses to omit that in order to catapult our characters from one emotional polar to another.
		The film seemed to have had many elements, which were not embedded within the film and this in turn, permeates a sense of disorientation for the viewer upon the lights returning to the theatre.
		‘Big Trouble’ has a set of characters intersect through a nexus of events that seem similar to an Elmore Leonard film.

	BIG TROUBLE
		Originally due in theatres just ten days after the 9/11 attacks, Big Trouble certainly isn't too big (it clocks in at under 90 minutes), but it is likely to cause a whole lot of trouble.
		Trouble is based on Dave Barry's novel of the same name, and, like most of Barry's work, it's alternately hysterical and irritating, and never anything else.
		Trouble was directed by Barry Sonnenfeld and feels like a lighter version of his Get Shorty, which I liked even less than this.

	SPLICEDwire \| "Big Trouble" review (2002) Barry Sonnenfeld, Tim Allen, Rene Russo, Dennis Farina, Ben Foster, Janeane ...
		How apropos it seems that the enjoyably outrageous screwball satire "Big Trouble" should open a little more than a week after the death of Billy Wilder, whose influence is felt all over this picture's breakneck comedic pacing.
		As one of a dozen characters with equal screen time, Allen's connection to the plot is almost peripheral, but he gives great voice-over (from the zany Dave Barry book on which the film is based) that helps keep straight the cavalcade of well-cast kooks to come.
		When I first saw "Big Trouble" on Sept. 10, 2001, these scenes were considerably funnier than they seemed in the wake of the next day's events.

	Review: Big Trouble (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Big Trouble is, for lack of a better term, a glorious mess.
		Big Trouble's director is Barry Sonnenfeld, who is probably best known for Men in Black.
		This is unfortunate, because, although Big Trouble is rough around the edges, it's really a lot of fun - pure entertainment of the kind that's in short supply.

		It was sheer bad luck that "Big Trouble" was supposed to be released right around the time of the September 11 attacks.
		Unfortunately, when it was released in the spring of 2002, "Big Trouble" never received the deserved attention it should have received due to the events that had taken place in September 2001.

	CNN.com - Review: 'Big Trouble' worth a few laughs - April 4, 2002
		"Big Trouble" is amusing -- at times, laugh-out-loud funny -- but it's such an obvious attempt to recreate the magic that made "Get Shorty" such a wonderful film that you can't help but feel you've been to this fair before.
		On its own, "Big Trouble" could be considered a funny little film.
		It will also be interesting to see how people react to a "funny" scene about airport security in which the aforementioned bomb gets past the guards and onto a plane.

	Extratv.com : 'Big Trouble'
		Now "Big Trouble" is finally about to make its belated debut.
		"Big Trouble" was all set for release amid a fanfare of promotion and publicity late last September, but the movie was suddenly shelved when the tragic events of September 11th exploded.
		Just ten days before the movie’s premiere, the release was postponed because, ironically and eerily, the plot of "Big Trouble" involves terrorists, an airplane, and a bomb.

	Big Trouble
		Big Trouble might have worked a little better with the mania cranked up a few notches.
		That’s a strange thing to say about a movie that’s pretty manic to begin with but it just doesn’t move as quickly as it might and you feel the need for it to hit those hysteria levels more often than it does.
		But if you’re looking for a fun time at the movies then Big Trouble is definitely the ticket.

	Flak Magazine: Review of Big Trouble, 4-21-02
		Big Trouble was originally supposed to come out Sept. 14, but because of a few scenes featuring a bomb in an airport and a hijacking, the release date was pushed back.
		Studio executives were assuredly shaking in their boots about what to do with this content, but their concerns were in vain — the content is actually pretty slick airport humor that goes by quickly.
		Eliot Arnold (Tim Allen) is endorsed as the main character, but it's difficult to focus on one central personality — there are several intertwined interactions in the story and an ensemble cast huge enough to push the plot firmly into the backseat.

	DVD.net : Big Trouble - DVD Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Big Trouble is yet another film that supposedly suffered the consequences of bad timing in light of the terrible events of 9/11.
		On the big screen, it’s left up to someone else and how they see it, and how well the actor can play it.
		Nope, this is a comedy, so everyone is going to drag everyone else into everything and pretty soon you have big groups of people after each other etc etc until the resolution, which doesn’t really resolve much.
