One is inevitably left agog at the deftness with which the two main strands of the film (one running forwards, the other in reverse chronology) are woven together, and also by the way the film still manages to be coherent the first time you watch it, even without recourse to aide memoires and flowcharts of your own. But the intellectual depth of the film is also hugely impressive, dealing with issues of memory, self-deception, existentialism and solipsism. Proves that Nolan doesn't need a huge budget and rafts of big-name stars to produce a brilliant movie.

the story follows Jack Burton, a man who agrees to help his friend Wang Chi rescue his green-eyed fiancée from bandits in San Francisco's Chinatown. Their mission leads them to a mysterious underworld beneath Chinatown, where they face an ancient sorcerer named Lo Pan, who requires a woman with green eyes to marry him in order to release him from a centuries-old curse.
Directed by John Carpenter and starring Kurt Russell, Kim Cattrall, Dennis Dun and James Hong
Great storyline, cheesy old school graphics and action, brilliant characters and cast.
Absolute classic.
release date: July 2, 1986
Running time: 99 minutes
Fun fact:
The project fulfilled Carpenter's long-standing desire to make a martial arts movie.
