Check out what happened in Big Trouble in Little China!
In the bustling San Francisco International Airport, truck driver Jack Burton (Kurt Russell) and his loyal friend Wang Chi (Dennis Dun) embark on a fateful journey to reunite Wang with his beloved Miao Yin (Suzee Pai). However, their reunion is short-lived as a ruthless Chinese street gang, the Lords of Death, swoops in and snatches Miao Yin away, intent on enslaving her for nefarious purposes. Jack and Wang pursue the kidnappers into the labyrinthine alleys of Chinatown, where they become embroiled in a brutal gang war between the Wing Kong and the Chang Sing.
As the streets erupt into chaos, powerful sorcerers known as "The Three Storms" (Thunder, Rain, and Lightning) unleash their dark magic, mercilessly slaughtering the Chang Sing. Jack, caught in the crossfire, inadvertently runs over Lo Pan (James Hong), the Wing Kong's enigmatic leader, but to his surprise, the sorcerer remains unscathed. Wang must intervene to rescue Jack from Lo Pan's wrath.
The duo's plight worsens as their truck is hijacked by the Lords of Death. Seeking refuge, they seek out Gracie Law (Kim Cattrall), a shrewd lawyer and old friend of Wang's, at her Chinatown restaurant, 'The Dragon of the Black Pool.' There, they also meet Eddie Lee (Donald Li) and Egg Shen (Victor Wong), a charismatic magician who moonlights as a tour bus driver. The group hatches a plan to infiltrate the brothel where Miao Yin is believed to be held captive.
Disguising himself as a patron, Jack ventures into the brothel, only to be interrupted by the Storms' sudden arrival and abduction of Miao Yin. As the stakes escalate, the friends retreat to Gracie's apartment, where they uncover the shocking truth: Miao Yin was taken to The Wing Kong Exchange, a front for Lo Pan's sinister domain.
With Wang's cunning guidance, Jack infiltrates the Exchange, but their daring mission soon goes awry as they find themselves trapped in a water-filled lift. After a harrowing escape, Wang claims they've entered "The hell of the upside-down sinners," and they're taken to a cell by Rain, who mercilessly torments them with an onslaught of rubber balls. As the darkness closes in around them, Jack and Wang must draw upon their wits and resilience to survive this treacherous underworld.
As the captives are wheeled in, Lo Pan, now an elderly invalid, reveals his sinister intentions: he believes Miao Yin is safer under his care than any other creature on earth. Meanwhile, Gracie, Eddie, and Margo's incursion into the building doesn't go unnoticed; Lo Pan dispatches Thunder to quell the disturbance. Wang and Jack are returned to their cell, still confined to wheelchairs, where Wang regales Jack with the 2,000-year-old legend of Lo Pan: a cursed soul doomed to roam the earth in a spectral form until he can marry a specific kind of woman.
As they momentarily break free from their restraints, they quickly re-immerse themselves in their wheelchairs and blindfolds, anticipating Thunder's return. The henchman hangs Eddie by his jacket collar, prompting Jack to launch himself at Thunder, who successfully fends him off, sending Jack tumbling down the ramp and perilously close to a deep chasm. Wang and Eddie create a diversion, allowing Jack to rescue the imprisoned women and make their escape.
However, Gracie's ill-fated encounter with Lo Pan sets in motion a catastrophic chain of events: she is taken away, only to be tamed by Miao Yin alongside "The Burning Blade". Lo Pan, convinced he has found his ideal bride, decides to marry both women and sacrifice Gracie, indulging his earthly desires with Miao Yin. Wang and Jack, meanwhile, seek the counsel of Egg Shen and enlist the Chang Sings' assistance in infiltrating an underground cavern and eventually, Lo Pan's very offices.
As the group approaches the ceremony site, Egg's mysterious potion grants Jack a temporary aura of invincibility, leaving him feeling reckless yet exhilarated. Unbeknownst to Jack, the potion's effects are short-lived, and he soon finds himself knocked unconscious amidst the chaos that erupts as they arrive at the ceremony. Meanwhile, Wang dispatches Rain with swift and elegant swordsmanship, marking a turning point in their perilous quest.
As the dust settles, Jack and Gracie make a hasty retreat to the offices, hoping to catch Lo Pan off guard now that the curse has been lifted. Wang, undaunted by the mayhem, charges into battle against Thunder, engaging in a frenzied hand-to-hand combat that culminates in Thunder's explosive demise.
As Jack and Lo Pan face off, Wang takes on the latter's loyal disciple, Lightning, who proves relentless in his pursuit of revenge. Just as all hope seems lost, Egg intervenes from above, deploying a rope to rescue Jack, Gracie, and Miao Yin from the collapsing corridor. In a daring display of acrobatic prowess, Egg then dispatches Lightning with a crushing statue, sealing the villain's fate.
With Lo Pan defeated and their quest finally at an end, Egg declares his intention to take a well-deserved vacation in China – "because it is in the heart." As Jack prepares to hit the open road once more, he unwittingly stows away an unexpected passenger: one of the remaining monsters, whose true identity remains shrouded in mystery. The journey may be over for now, but the adventure is far from finished.
