'Little China' aimless and dull-witted 4 LEGAL EAGLES' RATES A RAVE. BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA Area Theaters By CATHARINE RAMBEAU -r Prm Movie Critic "Big Trouble in Little China" re-mites Kurt Russell and director John Carpenter. Their last picture together was "Escape From New York." It wasn't much good either.

"Big Trouble in Little China" is Robert Redford is Jwl Sfftrl. GOOD MORNING AMtRICA "A thrill-packed humdinger of a movie all the way It is marvelous intelligent, imaginative, funny and suspenseful at the same In Reed, NE YOIK POST "Legal Eagles' is a sophisticated, spritely, suspenseful, comedy-thriller done in debonair fashion with Redford, Winger and Hannah high-style Judith Cnsl 'Legal Eagles' is the perfect summer entertainment It's good, calculating fun the kind of picture people have in mind when they complain that they don't make pictures like this anymore."

It is all window-dressing, from Jack's Harley-Davidson cap and his muscular hail-fellow-well-met ambience to Wang Chi's dependably inappropriate slang. Bad jokes about "Chinese standoffs" accompany the oafish dialog, while neon-lit tong wars (these guys uze Uzis and paired six-guns strapped to their thighs) and monsters straight out of "Alien" and "Star Wars" remind us of better movies and better days.

Even Cattrall's fast-talking Ingenue lawyer is only a leftover Kathleen Turner character. "Big Trouble in Little China" might have been fun 10 years ago. Now, it's an embarrassment long past its time, with nothing new to offer audiences.
