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?
