David Lo Pan Style

Apparently, John Carpenter gets asked a lot of questions about doing a Big Trouble in Little China sequel; a cult classic movie made in 1987.  I wouldn't mind a reboot at all.  It was cheesy then, but just think of how crazy it would be if they cast James Hong as the bad guy again?

*Keeping fingers crossed, but is ultimately let down that they'd probably cast a non-Asian actor*

At this year’s Screamfest in LA, Carpenter was asked yet again about the movie.  Instead of doing a Big Trouble Q&A, Carpenter presented this amazing “Gangnam Style” parody, called "David Lo Pan Style."

Yes, I know.  If you have to sit through another Gangnam Style parody, you’re liable to tear the place apart.  Especially if you haven’t seen Big Trouble in Little China, this probably won't make a bit of sense.

For the rest of us nerds that grew up in the 80's, you're in for a treat.  There's a cameo from original Lo Pan—the legendary James Hong!  I KNOW!  EPIC!

Not familiar with the guy?  When Hollywood needs a old Asian guy who can pull off the accent AND be intelligible, they go to James Hong.  He does a lot of bit parts now, but I like the fact his voice is so awesome that he does a ton of voice acting.

Notable voices: Po's Father from Kung Fu Panda

Daolon wong from Jackie Chan Adventures.







One of my fav shows was Avatar: The Last Airbender.  Yeah, he's done that too. Not a monumental role, but the fact he's associated with such an awesome show just makes me like both more.  They're greater than the sum of their awesomeness now!
