The film tells the story of truck driver Jack Burton (Russell)\, who helps his friend Wang Chi (Dun) rescue Wang’s green-eyed fiancée from bandits in San Francisco’s Chinatown. They go into the mysterious underworld beneath Chinatown\, where they face an ancient sorcerer named David Lo Pan (Hong)\, who requires a woman with green eyes to marry him in order to be released from a centuries-old curse.[4] \nAlthough the original screenplay by first-time screenwriters Gary Goldman and David Z. Weinstein was envisioned as a Western set in the 1880s\, screenwriter W. D. Richter was hired to rewrite the script extensively and modernize it. The studio hired Carpenter to direct the film and rushed Big Trouble in Little China into production so that it would be released before a similarly themed Eddie Murphy film\, The Golden Child\, which was slated to come out around the same time. The project fulfilled Carpenter’s long-standing desire to make a martial arts film. \nDespite receiving generally positive reviews\, the film was a commercial failure\, grossing $11.1 million in North America\, below its estimated $19 to $25 million budget. This left Carpenter disillusioned with Hollywood and influenced his decision to return to independent filmmaking. In later years\, the film gained a steady audience on home video\, and has become a cult classic. \nTruck driver Jack Burton wins a bet with his friend Wang Chi. To make sure he follows through on payment\, Jack accompanies him to the airport to pick up Wang’s Chinese fiancée Miao Yin\, where a Chinese-American street gang\, the Lords of Death\, tries to kidnap another Chinese girl. She is being met by her friend Gracie Law. After Jack intervenes\, they take Miao Yin instead. \nJack and Wang track the Lords of Death to Chinatown\, where they find a funeral procession that erupts into a battle between the Chang Sing and Wing Kong\, two ancient Chinese warrior societies. When “The Three Storms” – Thunder\, Rain\, and Lightning\, warriors with weather-themed powers – appear\, slaughtering the Chang Sing\, Jack attempts to gun his big-rig through the crowd\, but runs over David Lo Pan\, a man directing the Three Storms. Horrified\, Jack exits his truck\, but finds Lo Pan unhurt and glowing with magic. Wang hurriedly guides Jack through the alleys; they escape\, but Jack’s truck is stolen. \nFilm Information\n\n\n\nDirected by\nJohn Carpenter\n\n\nWritten by\n\n\nGary Goldman\nDavid Z.

SUMMARY:Gone with the Wind (1939)
DESCRIPTION:Gone with the Wind ( 1939)\nJanuary 12\, 2025 \n2:30pm \nSturges-Young Center for the Arts \nMain Stage/Theatre \n \nTickets $4\nDays\n:\nHours\n:\nMinutes\n:\nSeconds\nTICKETS \nDescription\nPlot\nGone with the Wind is a 1939 American epic historical romance film adapted from the 1936 novel by Margaret Mitchell. The film was produced by David O. Selznick of Selznick International Pictures and directed by Victor Fleming. Set in the American South against the backdrop of the Civil War and the Reconstruction era\, the film tells the story of Scarlett O’Hara (Vivien Leigh)\, the strong-willed daughter of a Georgia plantation owner\, following her romantic pursuit of Ashley Wilkes (Leslie Howard)\, who is married to his cousin\, Melanie Hamilton (Olivia de Havilland)\, and her subsequent marriage to Rhett Butler (Clark Gable). \nThe film had a troubled production. The start of filming was delayed for two years until January 1939 because Selznick was determined to secure Gable for the role of Rhett\, and concluded in July. The role of Scarlett was challenging to cast\, and 1\,400 unknown women were interviewed for the part. Sidney Howard‘s original screenplay underwent many revisions by several writers to reduce it to a suitable length. The original director\, George Cukor\, was fired shortly after filming began and was replaced by Fleming\, who in turn was briefly replaced by Sam Wood while taking some time off due to exhaustion. Post-production concluded in November 1939\, just a month before its premiere. \nIn 1861\, on the eve of the American Civil War\, Scarlett O’Hara lives at Tara\, her family’s cotton plantation in Georgia\, with her parents\, two sisters\, and their many black slaves. Scarlett is deeply attracted to Ashley Wilkes and learns he is to be married to his cousin\, Melanie Hamilton. At an engagement party the next day at Ashley’s home\, Twelve Oaks\, a nearby plantation\, Scarlett makes an advance on Ashley but is rebuffed; however\, she catches the attention of another guest\, Rhett Butler. The party is disrupted by news of President Lincoln’s call for volunteers to fight the South\, and the Southern men rush to enlist. Scarlett marries Melanie’s younger brother\, Charles\, to arouse jealousy in Ashley before he leaves to fight. Following Charles’s death while serving in the Confederate States Army\, Scarlett’s mother sends her to the Hamilton home in Atlanta. She creates a scene by attending a charity bazaar in mourning attire and waltzing with Rhett\, now a blockade runner for the Confederacy. \nFilm Information\n\n\n\nDirected by\nVictor Fleming\n\n\nScreenplay by\nSidney Howard\n\n\nBased on\nGone with the Wind\nby Margaret Mitchell\n\n\nProduced by\nDavid O.
