I think it would have been an easy transition to the FPS they wanted. Jack Burton: Arkham Knight (well that’s 3rd person but close enough).

I don’t see it translating well into a game. What the hell would the gameplay even be? A bunch of QTE?

Well The Dark Knight movie was mostly Batman or Bruce talking with a few short action sequences.
And one of the two fighting sequences in the BTILC is half of the entire movie. It’s 45 minutes of non stop action of Burton rescuing the women and then fighting his way to the Boss.

I think the best format would be a side-scrolling beat 'em up like Double Dragon. Jack and Wang tag teaming their way through back alley Chinatown, enemies starting out as thugs but getting more supernatural as they descend into Lo Pan’s nightmare.
Beat 'em ups also lend themselves to retro stlyed games, and Big Trouble in Little China is already oozing 80’s neon charm that I think they’d go very well together.
Jack Burton is player two, I will fight people on this.

We are in his debt. He showed great courage.

That sounds similar to the actual game that was released for 8-bit home computers at the time.

It looks like they made it a three character tag team beat em up.
