Big Trouble in Little China is a favorite of mine, ever since I first saw it in 1987. One of Carpenter's best, it had Russell on top for as the hero buffoon. So, when I saw that nOmArch had restored the seven deleted scenes from the 2 disc edition, I was intruiged as to how it would work. And I'm glad to say it works damned well.

Video: 7/10
The picture itself is a tad blocky, and the added scenes were originally transferred from BetaMax, but its Big Trouble in Little China! It's forgivable. And, if I'm honest, I don't feel that it takes away from your enjoyment of the movie at all.

Visual Editing: 9/10
The added scenes are added flawlessly. There was one instance where one added scene near the start did a quick fade to black, but it's nothing major to be fair, and the scene does flow very smoothly, so it cancels it out. Overall, a top job with the material on offer.

Audio Editing: 9/10
Nothing major here. Sounds awesome as ever. There was one place where te music cuts out, but it's for nothing more than a split second and, agai, doesn't detract from the film at all.

Narrative: 10/10
Oh, come on! It's BTiLC, ffs! The narrative is going to be top notch, and the added scenes make this cult favorite even more funnier.

Enjoyment: 10/10
Still as awesome as when I first saw it, the added material adds more oomph to it.

Summary:
If you're a fan of the original, you can't miss this. A funny film, made even funnier. If you're not a fan of the original, it probably won't sway you, but I still think it's worth a watch.

Top job all round!
