'Big Trouble in Little China... I had never thought of as being a Dracula... following the Dracula formula. Maybe I'm mental, maybe I'm late to the party, maybe I'm the only one, but it follows it pretty strongly. Lo Pan is Dracula. His hideout is Dracula's Castle. Jack Burton is Jonathan Harker. The Three Storms are Dracula's Brides. You can just keep going down the line. Miao Yin and Gracie Law are Mina and Lucy... or they are both Mina. It's a Dracula story and I think that's why I like it. Egg Shen is Van Helsing. Even the idea of returning to the castle, you get the thing in the castle and then they leave and then go back to the castle with more power. Like it is just Wang and Jack and they go to the castle and they do what they do and then they come back with Van Helsing...
...And the idea of Lo Pan being old and young, a tragic character stuck in a curse in which only love will release him from. It's Dracula, bud.'
