The “Retro Cinema Series” celebrates our NEA Big Read program on Tuesday, March 11th with a showing of Big Trouble in Little China at 7:00 P.M. in the Multipurpose Room at the Mount Vernon Library, 201 North Mulberry Street in Mount Vernon.
“Jack Burton, a rational, wise-cracking long-distance trucker, is in for a big surprise when he decides to help his best friend Wang free his kidnapped fiancée, Miao Yin. But as Jack rushes headlong into the perilous criminal underworld of San Francisco’s Chinatown, hot on the trail of centuries-old Chinese sorcerer David Lo Pan, the mystery of an ancient curse unfolds. As Jack and his companions embark on a frenzied rescue mission in the heart of the sorcerer’s dark labyrinth, Lo Pan’s deadly minions, blood-curdling supernatural horrors, and a trio of unstoppable Kung Fu masters stand in the way of success. Can Jack save the girl from the magician’s clutches and live to tell the tale?”– Nick Raganas, IMDB.com
