Does egg shen's potion actually do anything? Or is it a placebo or Alcohol?
It makes you feel invincible and gives you a myriad of stat buffs. It is "as real as Lo Pan", who demonstrates real sorcerous powers.
>>222751987I got the impression that everybody would have died instantly without itThe big feat isn't even Jack killing Lo Pan, Wang flat out 1v1s those wizard assholes that we already saw could beat a whole army
if you have to ask then you already don't get it
>>222751987It’s PCP and peyote
>>222751987Earth, wind, fire. All that stuff
>>222752592OP wasn't put in this thread to 'get it'.
>>222752618Hot damn. That'd be a good trip.
>>222751987They were fighting gods that had Aura effect, his potion gave them immunity to aura.
BLACK BLOOD OF THE EARTH
>>222751987Shit, piss and cum
Hot take: Jack catching that knife wasn't the potion, it was a call back to the beginning of the movie when he caught that bottle.
>>222755136That's not a hot take. He spent his potion trip unconscious, if I remember correctly. He was completely sober by that point. That catch was all down to his already established reaction speed
>>222753237Oh, you mean oil.
>>222751987wonder what it tastes like.
>>222755136If you listen closely, you can hear him say "It's all in the reflexes" just like the beginning.
What the fuck was this thing?
>>222757269Chinese woman
>>222757269It WAS a come-outer.No more.
>>222755136That's as much of a hot take as noticing Lone Pine Mall in Back to the Future.
>>222755339First time I saw the movie as a kid I fucking lost it laughing when he knocked himself out
How was it so kino?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmrnUMQNi9g
>>222760191I think the fact that John Carpenter can make amazing films about anything at all tells us he's one of the best to have done it.
>>222751987This thread should be stickied forever in the middle of the catalog.
>>222757269The Anora actress
This thread makes this dadslop sound kind of kino. You're telling me its about a Kung fury master defeating wizard ninjas? So basically a live action anime?
>>222755688NO! BLACK BLOOD OF THE URT!!!
The asian actor comes off as trying too hard.
>>222762326when i get a chance, i am going to use AI to make a remastered version where he's replaced with Simu Lu
>>222762472this movie should definitely be remade or have a sequel, it had just enough lore to not be a goofy mess
>>222762326Fun fact: Victor Wing got so stressed about not being able to contact his NY-based son on 9/11 that he fucking died.
>>222763067I meant Dennis Dun
>>222763123Dunno how he felt about 9/11 desu
>>222760986wang isn't a kung fu master though? he works at a restaurant?
>>222763004there is a sequel comic apparently
>>222752577>The big feat isn't even Jack killing Lo Pan, Wang flat out 1v1s those wizard assholes that we already saw could beat a whole armyyeah he was jumping around like a wuxia flick character.
>>222763864Oh, thats not as cool
>>222760986A: you should just watch it, it's kino of the highest order2: No, Egg Sheng is a crazy old wizard who helps the hero and his sidekick Kurt Russel fight an ancient Chinese ghost wizard and his army of monsters and kung fu men
>>222764329he's pretty good at martial arts though
Lo Pan did nothing wrong
>>222751987It made Wang fly to beat the wind god and kite thunder safely, it allowed Egg to tangle with lo pan directly, and it gave Jack the ability to catch the knife and throw it back for a strike.
>>222751987See things no one else can see... do things no one else can do...>>222752673Kek
>>222760986This is my favorite film of all time. Zero wasted frames, perfectly paced, cast, scripted and scored .
>>222751987It was just booz and Red Bull
>>222767761It also gave Jack the courage to kiss Gracey. Something he had several chances to do elsewhere and didn't.
>>222760767Fuck yes.
>>222761017Kek
>>222757269It was a demon prolly sent after them by the Freemasons and the Illuminati.
>>222764610This should be the plot of every movie.
>>222767858This is how you know it really was magic.
>>222757269Pennywise. He thought it was a bunch of kids fucking in the tunnel. He didn't realize he was in the wrong movie
>>222768381Lol nice.
>>222767858>It also gave Jack the courage to kiss Gracey. Something he had several chances to do elsewhere and didn't.Doesn't he kiss her in the sewer? or is that her kissing him?
>>222768545neither, they just rub really close and play tsundere
>>222766310One of the best villains in all of cinema.
>>222757269kino
>>222768708>>222768545wait you're right, i retract my statementwell done anon I apologize
>>222763004>remadedo you really want to see Zendaya as the main heroine?
Daily reminder that this masterpiece was thrashed by (most) critics and 1986 audiences alike. Further proof that true art transcends ratings.
>>222751987I always assumed it was just herbal stimulantsLike how we have shit like magic mushroomsEg was a magician but if you notice the entire thingThe only real 'magic' thing he does is the scene at the start with the lawyer - the scene was never meant to be in the movie to begin withI always assumed the audience was watching it via Eg's retelling so he wasn't a sorcerer in so much he just was the Chinese version of a medicine man/chemist/alchemist/healer in terms of whatever Chiense religion it wasTL:DRthe entire plot of it is just Eg's version of it - so he probably lied like shit to confuse the fuck out of the American guy and most likely it was less magic than you think
