Big Trouble in Little China

Nice to see this on the big screen. My memory of this movie is fuzzy, and I am not sure if I ever saw the whole thing. It's such a weird and funny mix of Asian mysticism, kung fu, and 1980s style macho action. The smart-alecky silliness is the best part about it. The score by John Carpenter is by far the worst part about it. If Spielberg, Lucas and Ridley Scott can all re-cut their movies, maybe somebody can convince Carpenter to re-do the score?
