Product description
John Carpenter’s 1986 masterpiece famously subverted the hero trope by making the sidekick the actual protagonist while Jack Burton bumbled through the supernatural underworld. This print showcases the hand-drawn mastery of 1980s film marketing, centering Kurt Russell’s smirking Jack Burton against a chaotic backdrop of San Francisco’s Chinatown.
About cult classics
Cult classics are films whose fans keep them alive long after release, often through quotes and poster art. Painters such as Drew Struzan and John Alvin created many of the decade’s most famous posters. The original dates from 1986. 1980s posters are known for painted adventure, neon sci-fi and video-store nostalgia.
Styling this cult classic poster
With its red palette and bold atmosphere, this cult classic poster brings instant personality to a wall. Choose 24×36″ to make “Big Trouble in Little China” the focal point of a dorm room, or 11×14″ to 16×20″ for a bedside or hallway wall. Finish “Big Trouble in Little China” with a black or antique-gold frame: its red palette stands out against warm neutrals and charcoal. For a gallery wall, pair “Big Trouble in Little China” with two or three smaller red prints, spaced 2–3 inches (5–8 cm) apart.
