For those that don't think Jack Burton was the sidekick, and Wang Chi was the leading man, you need only listen to the audio commentary with John Carpenter and Kurt Russell, where they say that was the intent of the movie, but no one got it. Kurt Russell: "I've never seen an American movie with the roles reversed like that. Where the sidekick was the leading man, and leading man was the sidekick, but didn't know it."

Wow, when this movie came out in 1986 James Hong (Lo Pan) had been acting for roughly 35 years already...and this movie is now 38 years old...and James Hong, now aged 95, is still going strong having appeared in 'Everything Everywhere All At Once' last year and currently voicing Mr. Ping in Kung Fu Panda 4. James Hong has over 500 TV and film credits, the most of any actor living or dead.

The point you totally missed about this movie is that Kurk Russel's character (Jack Burton), although ultimately the hero of the movie, is not the main “action-star” hero ---- he's just the goofy side-kick. The real “action star” hero of the movie was his friend 'Wang Chi'. Jack Burton was Wang Chi's side-kick...lol

TRIVIA: Russell purposely put on a John Wayne voice for his as Jack Burton role, much like he channeled Clint Eastwood in 'Escape from new York'.
It's important to note that Carpenter used known characters from Chinese mythology as the villains here, but to those of us in the West that are unfamiliar, it may seems strange.
This movie is IMMENSELY entertaining and re-watchable, and may be my favorite Carpenter film.

Even after 40 years, and two dozen viewings, Jack acting cool with lipstick on his face is still hilarious.
