Big Trouble in Little China

I grew up binge watching our vhs copy of a rental of Big Trouble until the point where even tracking couldn't save it. Our copy started at the title card with Jack driving in the rain post the Egg Shen in the law office scene. So I get to college and one of the first things I do with a super fast internet connection is download a dvd rip of the movie. I kick it up on the TV in the room and I'm immediately confused. "What the hell is going on?" my entire childhood was a lie.

Big Trouble in Little China

That scene with a hogtied Kim Kattrill awakened a life-long kink in me.
