Big Trouble in Little China (1986)

I love this movie. So hilarious and quirky. I mean, really. A truck driver who ends up saving the world from some supernatural force? Along with some pretty great fight scenes, a few ridiculous stunts, and all the classic trimmings of an adventure, complete with a few damsels in distress and the hero riding out alone at the end, in search of the next adventure or the next person he can help.

How often does a movie portray a truck driver in such a great light? I think personally that cross country, real over the road truck drivers are seriously under appriciated. But my favorite part of this film is the fact that Jack, the main character, does all of this to simply get his truck back. To him it seems like a normal day, and he keeps his cool most of the time.
