But hey, that's why people and the studios didn't get this at first. FYI, the Blu Ray is GORGEOUS...I got to meet Carpenter and gave him the whole Egg Shein tour bus monologue and got him to laugh. That was a high point for me personally. He also signed my Blu Ray copy making it all the more awesome:) Fine write up!

You see, according to Carpenter himself, the studio "didn't get it" [his film] and made him write something that would explain the character of Jack Burton. Carpenter came up with the prologue scene between Egg Shen and the lawyer. Based on Egg Shien’s account of the events given to his lawyer.

For some reason it never worked for me as much as I wanted it to. I liked parts of Big Trouble, but on the whole it’s one of my least favorite Carpenter films.

Ahh that was it, I thought something was different haha. Yea me too and not planning to pay for it haha. I thought it was ridiculous already that you have to pay an upgrade in order to upload media like audio, and another upgrade for video. Oh well, other ways work fine :P Thanks for the comment.
