Thunder in Big Trouble in Little China

Who else thought his inflation was an amazing scene of special effects? i mean he got mad and turned into a Garbage Pail Kid then explode into a pile of Salad.

I have no idea what you are talking about, but any gpk reference is a winner.

I didn't think it was amazing special effects but I enjoyed the character

See the resemblance to a GPK? and who else thought that was salad he blew out?

And Foster, you don't think his inflation was amazing or was it a silly scene?

Maybe I am just jaded in the days of CGI and all that. special effects rarely impress me.
hmm.. how did that scene make me feel.

i didn't laugh when it happened, maybe i was disappointed the character off'd himself instead of the protagonist having to do it.

My fave was Lightning... Raiden in Mortal Kombat was based on him too.


Didn't have a great death though, part of the set falling on him
He should have gone head to head with Egg Shen, with Egg using his lightning powers that we saw at the start of the film.

Oh, yeah... when Lightning dies, see this little symbol at the top of the image?


It means "Carpenter" in Chinese.

Yeah, it's too bad that the opening scene was a last-minute addition with no bearing whatsoever on the rest of the plot.

It was. I mean, it was obviously artificial but still a great special effect.
