thepaintingbozo

Absolutely love it!!!

turbocooler

Loved the movie. There was a little theater near the university I attended and I remember going to check out right before classes started. Hope the game plays well to bring back memories of the movie.

hobbyhoo

This plus the Chinatown buildings from Knights of Dice would be the ultimate retro gaming experience!

lgeiger

I can’t help but laugh a little whenever I think of playing this. Even though I was just a child in the 80s Big Trouble in Little China was one of my favorite flicks.

amachan

Looks nice.

wiseolbird

purchased a copy of that game last year at GENCON. Glad to see it made this years.
fun
only a dream can kill a dream

Awesome film. Minis look good. Would love to get my hands on a copy.

hurrey

That looks really awesome.

monkfish182

I was 6 when this came out. I remember watching it with my Dad. Now i could play the game with my kids.

When fate asks if you paid your dues you just remember what ole Jack Burton always says,”Yes, sir, the check is in the mail”.

I so must have this game in order to “really rock the pillars of heaven”.

ocahan

Looks so much fun

bigdaddio

I have actually never seen this movie, but have been hearing some good things about the game. Interested to know more.

nogginthenog

How did I not know this is a thing?

badgobo

need some demo of this game.

darthcheese

Let’s ride the Pork Chop Express

tmon

Big trouble looks like a fun game.

tchrin

Amazes me how detailed and true to the actors/characters these minis are. Sculpting and manufacturing has advanced sooo much in recent years.

cyfi

Hits the nostalgic notes, I do think the hobbyist in me wouldn’t let me not repaint the miniatures

mc1gamer

Still a classic! I have my SIX DEMON BAG! “Just remember what ol’ Jack Burton does when the earth quakes, and the poison arrows fall from the sky, and the pillars of Heaven shake. Yeah, Jack Burton just looks that big ol’ storm right square in the eye and he says, “Give me your best shot, pal. I can take it.”

mc1gamer

Words wouldn’t do justice expressing how much I want this!. “Just remember what ol’ Jack Burton does when the earth quakes, and the poison arrows fall from the sky, and the pillars of Heaven shake. Yeah, Jack Burton just looks that big ol’ storm right square in the eye and he says, “Give me your best shot, pal. I can take it.”

truthslayer

Hear nothing but great things about this game which is reat as the movie is amazing and even the parody song Lo Pan Style is amazing

savagebastard

It all in the reflex when it comes to Big Trouble in Little China

pagan8th

Kurt Russell is not a great actor, but he’s been in some cult films… Tango and Cash, Escape from New York, The Thing and of of course… Big Trouble in Little China… great B movie…

stonewall

This is one of my all time favorite John Carpenter classics from the 80’s. whats funny is that my wife and I are going to seeing it next Wed. at a theater thats showing it. I’ve only ever seen it on TV/DVD, So I’m pretty excited to actually see if on the big screen for the first time.

uezguersmaster

“People are smiling.” Yes, that is exactly what I have to do everytime I see this game. 🙂

eddieharr

I have never seen this film. I regret nothing. haha

rgreenparadox

The paint job on the Jack Burton mini is insane. The job they did replicating the printing on his tank top is just mind-blowing.

thatcowboy

I’ve been drooling over this game for months. Was totally gutted i didn’t have the money in time for the collectors edition. Totally love the film.

filipeh

That’s literally EPIC! Want a copy of that one!

prototheca

How can you no love this concept!

hamiltonweb

The game and the minis look great

osbad

What? Wow! When did that happen?!

innes

Looks good. Might have to go and watch the film again.

badula

this is one i’ve missed! I LOVE IT! it is prepainted?

darkdanegan

They had a very striking stand at UKGE – drew you in like a moth to a flame!

darkling

Need to watch the movie again, the three Storms were my favourite characters 🙂
And the game is on my wishlist ofc 🙂

tonytt

YES. YES. YES. YES!!!!

beeff86

The minis in this game look so cool.

darthsarak

Can’t believe someone painted the design on Kurt’s t-shirt. Looks fantastic!

chargerse67

Love the movie and the minis look great.

oriskany

Oh no, what is that, DON’T TELL ME!

A Guardian! What it sees, Lo Pan knows!

paulvr

ralag

childhood memories 🙂

jmrecoil

Looks good love to try it.

dathar

As much as I LOVE Jack Burton and the old Porkchop Express… I’d like to hear more about that survival horror game he just mentioned and then moved on… I didn’t even really hear the title that well.

washkcmd

Love the movie, want the game.

daegren

Nice! The Big Trouble in Little China looks amazing.

turak

Big Trouble is a must. I hope it lives up to the movie.

alfonsothetraitor

I would love to win a copy of this game.

brucenz

Sweet as, this is one of the greatest movies ever . The models look great.

uptrebor

Epic film from my younger days now in board game wow

derlehrer

In spite of being a child of the 80s, this is one I missed until just recently (actually sought it out because of what I saw about the board game). The story fits well as an update of the pulp stories of the 30s that my students find enjoyable in our genre fiction units (they get into Robert E. Howard and H.P. Lovecraft, and Lester Dent, among others).

normandyfan

cool games

waxer

A ton of nostalgia in one box

thelostdog

andrax

never saw the movie – must catch up

klorophil

This looks like such a cool game. Do anybody if it’s available for retail somewhere in case i don’t win it? ;-P

phoenixman

Great film, hope the game does it justice

duster

The painted minis on display look very nice. Absolutly loved the movie way back then, saw it last year again and still loved it (even though the special effects do tell the age of the movie 😉 )
I also agree, we do need some let’s plays!

paragon

This game has some nice looking minis. I hope they were true to the game where Jack Burton is kind of a bumbling idiot and Wang Chi is a bad ass with a sword.

trane13

Wow, great minis!

lorddraconum

Game looks interesting

stokeman

They really packed everything from the movie in there! That minis tray is about to overflow.

irishsteve

Curious about this one. One of my favourite movies as a kid. Minis look sweet. Rough paint jobs though. Kinda wished they’d just left them bare plastic to see the detail. The game though – lotta potential.

evilspock

This game looks like it captures the atmosphere of the movie. Roll out the Pork Chop Express!

coachjose59

I love th idea of this game, still remember the movie and even on a copy of it. Can’t wait to get my hands on this game.

danbang

One if my fav film from my childhood and them minis look fantastic!!!

katana100

Those models looks amazing haha

kadmon

This looks epic!

cousins286

Loved the film and the game looks epic… Am I ready??? “I was born ready….”

warbossd

Saw big trouble at UKGE. Watched some play throughs online and it looks amazing. It’s my wife’s favourite film of all time and the thought of bringing her finally into gaming with this makes me tingle all over.

rev1

This game is epic (pun intended). I’ve recently ordered the movie to watch with my kids, so they, too, can get to experience some very unreasonable things. I’ve watched some other playthroughs and they just make me want this more. Let’s see how much Big Trouble BoW can get up to in Little China, please!

stainless001

Oh damn look at all those mini’s

theamazingmrg

My friend and I were discussing getting htis yesterday but neither of us had the cash. Winning it would solve that problem!

sluggle

“Nothin’ or double, Jack!” Great movie, looks like a great game!

ugleb

Always on brand, always on brand… 😉

quixol

Beautiful Minis, and Big trouble in little China, and looks like great rules. Very nice

ghostbear

I am super interested in this game, if it even slightly reflects the movie I am sure I will love it.

conscriptboris

Always interested in these type of games, but never make the jump… need to prioritise my hobby cash 😀

falerox

Sounds like a good time, love BTLC.

mecha82

Looks good to me.

nymeros

Not sure anyone younger than 30 will find the theme appealing, but for the older gamers out there, yeay

bursoncarpathian

One of my all time favourite movies!

I got myself a copy of board game version of “the Thing” a couple of weeks ago, Big Trouble would look really nice beside it.

There’s only missing another Kurt Russel classic, maybe they’ll do a post apocalyptic board game version of “escape from L.A.” sometime in the future.

wolf320f

OK SIMPLY TAKE MY MONEY LOL

jkos

great movie from the good part of the 80´s

lorenadrumond

This game is super fun! We bought it for a friend for his birthday (one of his favorite movies) and he just got it a couple months ago.

Also, shout out to the company, Everything Epic, for hooking us up with one of their promo bags since we already had the game.
