4.5/5

Truck driver Jack Burton arrives in Chinatown, San Francisco, and goes to the airport with his Chinese friend Wang Chi to welcome his green-eyed fiancée Miao Yin who is arriving from China.

Soon they learn that the powerful evil sorcerer called David Lo Pan, who has been cursed more than two thousand years ago to exist without physical body, needs to marry a woman with green eyes to retrieve his physical body and Miao is the chosen one. Jack and Wang team-up with the lawyer Gracie Law, the bus driver and sorcerer apprentice Egg Shen and their friends and embark in a great adventure in the underground of Chinatown, where they face a world of magicians and magic, monsters and martial arts fighters.

Everyone Everywhere: After Best Picture

The Daniels' EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE, about a first gen Chinese immigrant mother at the end of her rope during a tax audit, and A24 made history at the 95th Academy Awards with the most "above the line" wins of any studio in the Oscars' history, while Michelle Yeoh became the first Asian actress to win the Academy Award for Best Actress. Here are a few more multiverses you can jump into after you've seen, or rewatched, the incomparable movie.
