Both great Kurt Russel action films from the 80s… but which one is better?

The former has the better soundtrack but the latter has the better lines… which wins?

Also, ladies… would you rather have a meet with Snake Plissken or Jack Burton?

couple, us we him her.

Wow that's a really tough one.

Both equally cheesy and equally brilliant.

I'm going to go for big trouble in little China.

Based purely on the awful escape from New York sequel that was just terrible.

Just remember what ol’ Jack Burton does when the earth quakes, and the poison arrows fall from the sky, and the pillars of Heaven shake.

Yeah, Jack Burton just looks that big ol’ storm right square in the eye and he says, “Give me your best shot, pal. I can take it...

They’re both great films but I do love Escape from New York, so a choice to watch one night, it’d would be that one.

Admittedly straight after I’d watch Big Trouble

BTILC winner no question, still makes me laugh out loud, Escape is a good movie but it makes me cringe in places.

Beyond the shadows.

Both awesome, but Big Trouble in Little China edges it for me, mainly I think because it was the inspiration for the mortal combat games.

Escape From New York.

For three reasons...

Adrienne Barbeau, Lee Van Cleef and the fact that it's a much better film.

Which reminds me - I need to stick my poster of Adrienne Barbeau back on the fridge again.

I've been thinking of Big Trouble in Little China a lot this month. I saw the lady who played Miao Yin turned 60 last month and mentioned it to my husband, only to be shocked to find he'd never seen the film. I can't find it on any streaming site we have so been looking to buy the dvd. I can't remember much swearing in it so think we can watch with the kids

Oh, and in answer to the question I love both films. But I think BTILC just edges it as it's funnier

Tough call!

EFNY is the better film, but BTILC is one of the most fun films ever made.

I'd opt for The Thing

Although I do love Escape from New York I would have to pick Big Trouble.

Some much more entertaining
