BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE SOUTH PARK
Anyone who truly knows me knows that 'Big Trouble In Little China' is my favourite movie of all time. My first taste of the John Carpenter-helmed classic was way back when it was released in 1986; I was age 5 on the verge of turning 6. It was love at first sight and Kurt Russell's all-American truck driver, Jack Burton, became my instant hero. I've gone through two copies of the movie on VHS and I'm currently on my second copy of the DVD. I've seen the movie well over 200 times and can easily quote the movie in its entirety - probably backwards too.
A few years ago I came across an extensive fansite called The Wing Kong Exchange. Basically, it blows my mind. The site's author, Josh Horowitz, created a series of clips remaking the movie but with South Park characters. Unfortunately, it appears as though he stopped at his third installment, but here are the ones created and finished. Visit the site to e-mail Josh and kick his butt (politely!) into finishing off this fantastic series he's started.
It's just too bad he couldn't write Butters into the script.

ok…you know what’s REALLY freakin’ weird? I checked out your blog yesterday and clicked on the link for Wing Kong Exchange, not knowing what the h it was….and of course it took me awhile to figure that out being the slow-witted knob I sometimes am…..and saw that……and then you blog about it……
incredibly
weird
the green eyed girl! I watched it sooo many times back in the day. It seemed to air on Fox alot. I used to think the porkchop express was some ethnic slur against portuguese truck drivers… and yet I loved it anyway.
haha! I still quote it all the time and nobody ever gets it.
“Now this really pisses me off to no end.” “Green explosions? People flying in and out of the ceiling? That was NOT REAL and I wanna talk to the cops!”
That is some solid gold moviemaking right there. Also agree that Butters rocks.
