Description
The legendary heroes of the silver screen are about to have some unusual company. His name is Jack Burton, and he isn’t a hero by choice. He’s a "good ol’ boy" who powers his huge semi-trailer, the Pork Chop Express, through hell and high water, hauling live pigs to the wholesale market. Purely by chance, he’s swept up into one of the most bizarre adventures any screen hero has ever lived. Jack has been everywhere, seen everything and come back to tell about it – but even he couldn’t have dreamed this one up! Jack Burton is a simple man who doesn’t believe in ghosts or magic until he’s swept into a mind-boggling adventure deep within Chinatown’s mysterious underworld. Burton’s pal, Wang Chi, is trying to rescue his kidnapped fiancée. Egg Shen, an enigmatic tour-bus driver seems to know a lot about ancient Chinese magic for a simple tour-bus driver. They do battle with an outlandish array of human and inhuman adversaries under the command of Lo Pan, a 2000-year-old evil magician who has the power to transform himself from a wheelchair-bound old man into a seven-foot-tall mystical menace.
