Continuing with my project of documenting the Balisong Knife in Movies/TV by making animated GIFs, today's entry is from the 1986 cult classic Big Trouble in Little China. Big Trouble in Little China is a special movie but for my animated GIFs project it is a homerun. It features the Balisong aka Butterfly Knife in addition to a Telescopic Baton (another GIF project I have)!
Some thoughts about this movie with relation to Guro Jeff Imada and the Balisong:
- Too bad with Guro Imada's involvement that there were not more scenes as he literally wrote the book on the Balisong, 2 in fact!
- It was lame to use Guro Imada's Baton y Balisong as a distraction and someone trips Jack Burton/Kurt Russell from behind
The full scene featuring the awesome Guro Jeff Imada
