Big Trouble.... Trivia

During one of the scenes with lightning some of the lightning forms a Chinese symbol. This symbol translates as Carpenter.

BTILC has been made into a card game and Mike Toole was kind enough to mail me the following info :-
The cards are for a collectable trading card game called On the Edge. They are not official, just someone's idea of how to implement them into the game. The game itself is kind of a paranoid banana republic where the down trodden masses war against the gangs, corporations, assassins, secret societies, mages, other dimensional beings and such. It has several expansions for it and should be at most stores that sell roleplaying games. The card game is based on a roleplaying game called (wouldn't you know it) On the Edge.

From the alt.movies.john-carepenter newsgroup : Fox TV, at one time, was thinking about doing a TV sequel to BIG TROUBLE. They even had a writer, Peter David (a very good comic writer), do a treatment for the project, called MORE TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA. Unfortunately (or quite possibly fortunately), it never got beyond that stage. Anyone have a copy of this treatment?
