    Big Trouble, and it's not close.

    Last Dragon is a great flick, but the bad guy(s) are too lame compared to Lo-Pan and his demigod elemental henchmen.

    Plus, Big Trouble has about 10 times more quotable lines, AND the star of the movie is Kurt Russel versus just some mellow unassuming kid who knew kung fu.

    It would be more fair to compare Last Dragon to something like Orgazmo, which is in the same league, in fact it's better too, IMHO.

    Big Trouble by a mile. It was one of the last non ironic movies of that type.

    That's so cool man. The house was rocking man, awesome experience. We even got an MMA demonstration from the boys at Bam Bam MMA before the showing of the movie. The digital print was gorgeous on the big screen.

    Oh man I loved both these movies so its hard to decide, but I gotta go Big Trouble.

    It was the one I watched more when I was younger and like another poster said the villians were just epic. And the whole crazy action scene at the end with the two Asian dudes fighting with their aura Avatars or whatever was just awesome.

    Sorry, Big Trouble all day everyday...but Last Dragon has a special place in my heart

    Technically the better film, I mean Carpenter is my favorite director. The Last dragon will always be a favorite of mine, nostalgia and sentimental reasons.

    Someone answer my question, why hasn't there been another film like this? Black kung fu movies, why? No audiences? You got to be ******g kidding me, right? This is the only film, really in the history of Hollywood, really?

    how about Man with the Iron Fist w/ RZA?

    also agree with others.. so hard to decide between these two films. One thing they both have in common is I can always sit through and watch these movies and over and over and still be entertained.

    Heard it was bad and not in a ironic kind of way. I'm still on the fence because of it, but I'll probably see it eventually. Is it worth a watch?
