We ’ll never want a big - blind sequel or ( PLEASE NO ) reboot of Big Trouble in Little China , because John Carpenter ’s goofy cult comedy is the consummate self - moderate cinematic experience . But we welcome all non - movie works that celebrate the film ’s characters and mythology — like the upcomingboard game , and brand - new amusing Old Man Jack .
As the championship , which angle its Harley - Davidson trucker hat to Old Man Logan , suggests , the Boom Studios press release is about an aging version of Big Trouble ’s cocky , ofttimes - bumbling , extremely repeatable hero . In the year 2020 , he ’s 60 , exist in minor - town Florida , and still talking to whoever’ll listen through his old CB radio . He ’s also still cocky , but he ’s more than a bit lonely , too , so when a mysterious content crackles over the airwaves , he ’s ready to bound back into action .
That action arrives in the form of an ancient force name Ching Dai — far more muscular than picture show opposer Lo Pan — who burst through the myriad hells and emerges topside with baleful plan for the human race . And you have it away ol’ Jack Burton will have something to say about that .
