Big Trouble in Little China tribute in Grindhouse

Rating: 8/10 (11 April 2007)

Sorry if it has been posted before...but in the bar during "Death Proof" Jack Burton's (Big Trouble in Little China) tank top is tacked up on the wall...it is visible for much of the scenes in the bar.
cheers -raindog from "raindog's rants"
Raindog's 10 favorite things in Grindhouse:
1. Jack Burton's (Big Trouble in Little China) Tank Top tacked up to the bar the girls hang out in during Tarantino's Death Proof. ..I own this shirt. I loved that movie.
2. The B-movie actors throughout both filmsthe best has to be Buffalo's own Jeff Fahey as J.T. in Planet Terror. This is his best role since The Lawnmower Man for f*ck's sake.
3. A Tom Savini-like SE romp through the playground of Planet Terrorhands-down some honest-to-god grindhouse gore which is exceedingly rare in the days of CGI. The movie is bloody, disgusting, old-school goodness. And Savini's in it!
4. Kurt F*cking Russell back where he should have been all along. If this sentence makes no sense to yougo out and rent The Thing (1982), Big Trouble in Little China (1986), and the coup de grâce: Escape From NY (1981). I'd let you borrow them, but I don't lend out my dvds.
5. Eli Roth's "preview" for the "film" Thanksgiving between the two features. I laughed hard with delight and glee and, I think, surprised Frymaster with my reaction a little bit.
6. Planet Terror. Rodriguez gets it right in all the right spots. It is truly a tribute to all those great movies of the 70s and early 80s that I know Frymaster wants to come over and look through now that he's realized he might actually like them. Planet Terror even gets the dialogue right: "That boy's got the devil in him."
7. Vanessa Ferlito as Butterfly in Death Proof (where the hell is the lap dance scene?!)
8. The girls.
9. The car. Nova. Chevy. 1972.
10. Michael Parks reprises his character of Earl McGraw (from Kill Bill) I think this character should be in every Tarantino film from now on.
