It’s the 40th anniversary of the John Carpenter and Kurt Russell’s 1986 cult classic “Big Trouble In Little China” and we’ll be screening it at the Frida Cinema on May 9th. In addition to the film, guests Alan Howarth, who worked with John Carpenter on the film’s soundtrack, and actor and martial artist Gerald Okamura, who played the Wing Kong Hatchet Man in the film join us after the screening for a Q&A hosted by Scott Zillner. They will also be signing autographs in the lobby before the film begins.

Truck driver Jack Burton gets embroiled in a supernatural battle when his best friend Wang Chi’s green-eyed fiancée is kidnapped by henchmen of the sorcerer Lo Pan, who must marry a girl with green eyes in order to return to the human realm.

This kind of Kung Fu-Western-Sci Fi-Action-Horror genre mashing is common now, but in the 1980s, it was unheard of. Big Trouble In Little China embraced the chaos then, and has become even more beloved as the years have worn on. Come see it on the big screen!

Our next screening will be May 9th of “John Carpenter’s The Thing” now in a new 4K restoration! And as an added bonus, Alan Howarth, a frequent collaborator with John Carpenter, will be joining us for a post-screening Q&A hosted by Scott Zilner. Alan worked closely with composer Ennio Morricone and contributed additional synthesizer-based musical pieces and sound design work for the film. He will be signing autographs in the theater lobby before the film.

What begins as a simple rescue mission at a remote Antarctic outpost quickly dissolves into a nightmare of shape-shifting terror. When a mysterious organism infiltrates U.S. research station Outpost 31, it doesn’t attack its victims…it becomes them. With no way out and no way to tell who’s human, the team must confront an enemy capable of wearing any face…including their own.

What can be said about The Thing that hasn’t already been said? This 1982 masterpiece redefined paranoia horror, practical effects (by the incredible Ron Bottin and his team), and the art of keeping an audience on the very edge of its seat in only a way that the master of horror, John Carpenter, can do.
