I just picked up a copy of John Carpenter's "Big Trouble in Little China"

has Martial arts bad guys, magic, and kipnapping of brides!  What else is
there?  Oh, yeah, cool monster.

Have you ever seen Ranma Movie #1?  Big trouble in Nekonron China?

Sorry. it's already been done :)

Ha!  Yeah, Right!

The title was just some cliche made up by the translators.  That movie 
was actually based on a legend about gang of real theives who dressed up 
as the Seven Lucky gods to trick people into giving them their loot.  
There was NO ancient Chinese demon, Chinese mobster, or underground 
fortresses!
