It's so cool that John McTiernan did it again in The 13th Warrior. A worse movie (not as bad as people say), but I think that one scene is extraordinary.

Heh, I just watched The Wild Robot with my nephews, and the film uses pretty much this same trick early on.
13th warrior is a fantastic film with an undeserved reputation. It's the best version of Beowulf on film and full of memorable lines.

That scene is one of my faves.

13th Warrior usually makes the top list of any “movies that Rotten Tomatoes has done dirty”.

It depends I think on whether the Big Trouble in Little China fans are still asleep.

Rotten Tomatoes scores Big Trouble in Little China favorably, as it obviously should.
Not sure if Mandela Effect or the score has been changing over time.

Edit: I think the box office was terrible
