Much like Jack Burton and his truck, Thor also has an item of immense value taken from him in the new movie: his trusty hammer, Mjolnir.
And as Taika Waititi noted, when Thor’s charm and charisma is properly harnessed, he’s fun to follow along with.
Taking all that into account, I can see how there might be some Big Trouble in Little China vibes there.
You wouldn’t think that an Asgardian god and truck driver would have much in common, but looking back at John Carpenter’s 1986 classic and going off what’s been revealed about Thor: Ragnarok so far, there are a few similarities.
