Horror master John Carpenter has made plenty of films outside his most famous genre.
The horror master John Carpenter has made plenty of films outside his most famous genre. Whether it’s the cultural paranoia of They Live or the under qualified action star of Big Trouble in Little China as the template for Star-Lord in Guardians of the Galaxy, Carpenter’s skills and influence as a director undoubtedly extend far beyond the horror genre.
There is also an attempt at a romance between Chase and Daryl Hannah’s Alice Monroe, a TV documentary producer. However, like the rest of the film, this romance is unfortunately not explored enough and seems to only matter when the plot needs it to. It’s no surprise that Carpenter is never eager to talk about this film. Chase wanted the film to be his chance for everyone to take him seriously as an actor, but, much like Jenkins at the end of the film, it falls flat.
Inevitably the alien escapes, and when an electromagnetic surge strikes the ship, the Themostellar Bombs onboard, who also happen to be sentient, contemplate detonating themselves. The whole film is much sillier and lighthearted than any of his future films and because of this, it is mostly an enjoyable curio. Aside from being Carpenter’s directorial debut, Dark Star is significant because of the collaboration with Dan O’Bannon, who would later go on to write a little film called Alien.
The story follows Piper’s George Nada, an industrious working-class citizen who always thinks his next job is going to be the one to let him live comfortably. When he stumbles upon a pair of sunglasses that allow him to see the world for how it really is , he gathers his fellow human beings living on the edge of society to take matters into their own hands.
On the surface, Burton’s inclusion in this Hong Kong-inspired action-fantasy film feels like an unsavory setup for a poorly-aged white savior narrative. But Carpenter is smarter than that. And his solution is pretty simple. Jack Burton is an idiot. He may constantly talk the talk against his mystical foes, but at every turn, his words are undermined by his hopeless inability to help fight these enemies. When he’s not knocking himself unconscious, he is running away from the conflict.
