“You remember what ol’ Jack Burton always says at a time like that: ‘Have ya paid your dues, Jack?’ ‘Yessir, the cheque is in the mail.’”

Jack talking tough on the radio sends me, he’s just such a wannabe tough guy clown.

So many adventure movies have the white saviour action hero protagonist with a sidekick who’s an (often racist) ethnic caricature. Jack is a caricature of an American tough guy, and it works so well. I wish we saw it in more movies.
