The wisdom of Jack Burton: Big Trouble in Little China

Some words of wisdom from one of my all time favorite movie characters: Jack Burton. I've never really understood why he never took off the way Ash from Evil Dead did. Jack Burton's an infinitely cooler character. Sure Ash can take a few hits and travelled through time, but Jack Burton looked bad ass while destroying an evil chinese ghost emperor while wearing lipstick! While Ash spent more than half of his first movie stuck under a bookcase, Jack Burton managed to escape the "Hell of the Upside Down Sinners." Also he's got slightly cooler day job and a side kick.
Not to mention a catchier theme song!

I wish there were more adventures of Jack Burton...
