Quotes 

• Jack Burton : I don't get this at all. I thought Lo Pan...

  Lo Pan : Shut up, Mr. Burton! You are not brought upon this world to get it!

• Jack Burton : You can go off and rule the universe from beyond the grave.

  Lo Pan : Indeed!

  Jack Burton : Or check into a psycho ward, which ever comes first, huh?

• Lo Pan : And when I find her, I will marry her...

  Wang Chi : Never!

  Lo Pan : Ching Dai will be appeased, my curse will be lifted!

  Jack Burton : And you can go on to rule the universe from beyond the grave.

  Lo Pan : Indeed!

  Jack Burton : Or check into a psycho ward, whichever comes first, right?

  Wang Chi : Jack, will you...?

  Jack Burton : "Jack" what? I'm supposed to buy this shit? 2000 years, he can't find one broad to fit the bill? Come on, Dave, you must be doing something seriously wrong!

  Lo Pan : There have been others, to be sure. There are always others. But you know, Mr. Burton, the difficulties between men and women. How seldom it works out? Yet we all keep trying, like fools.

• Lo Pan : [spots Gracie, Margo and Eddie on a security monitor]  Who are these people? Friends of yours, huh? Now this really pisses me off to no end!

• Lo Pan : Then Ching Dai will be happy and my curse will be lifted!

  Jack Burton : And go off to rule the universe from beyond the grave.

  Lo Pan : Indeed!

  Jack Burton : Or check into a psycho ward, which ever comes first huh!

• Lo Pan : [Catches Jack's knife in midair, pauses to examine it, nodding in approval]  Good knife. Goodbye, Mr. Burton.

  [throws it] 

  Jack Burton : [quickly catches knife and throws it back, hitting Lo Pan right between the eyes] 

  Lo Pan : [Lo Pan falls backwards and impacts the ground with a shockwave that sets the statues ringing the room falling like dominoes, shattering to bits] 

  Jack Burton : It's all in the reflexes.

• Lo Pan : [Yells at Wang in Chinese after growing frustrated with Jack's dismissive attitude]  Mr. Burton, if you have an influence over your youthful friend, you better exert it now. Otherwise I will send both of you to the hell where people are skinned alive! It's that simple. Understand?

  Jack Burton : [Leans forward]  Are you crazy? Is that your problem?

  Wang Chi : No, he means it, Jack.

• Miao Yin : I don't belong to you.

  Lo Pan : You don't. You belong to Ching Dai. I must sacrifice you. But I love you and I need you.

  Miao Yin : No!

  Lo Pan : Here take her. Take the bitch!

• Lo Pan : What does it mean? Two girls with green eyes. After all these years.

  Gracie : You bastards, unchain me. You're not gonna get away with this. Where's Lo Pan?

  Lo Pan : [speaks Chinese]  This one has fire as well!

• Lo Pan : Magic... The darkest magic. My soul swims in it... Scattered across time, trapped in the world of formlessness...

• Lo Pan : There have been others, to be sure. There are always others, are there not? You seem to be one who knows the difficulties between men and women. How seldom it works out. Yet we all keep trying, like fools.

• Lo Pan : They have returned. And this time they are not alone. Egg Shen is with them. Little bastard sorcerer has brought them through the Bog of the Dead Trees.

  [calling to him telepathically] 

  Lo Pan : Egg Shen... EGG SHEN! You have come a long ways to find me. But it is too late. There are two girls with green eyes, and I will marry them both. And then I will sacrifice Gracie Law to appease my emperor and live out my earthly pleasures with Miao Yin.

  [cackles] 

  Lo Pan : That's right, Egg Shen. The best of two worlds!

• Lo Pan : You never could beat me, Egg Shen.

• Lo Pan : [On phone]  No pathetic excuses! I smell the blood of human beings; find them! Boil them until their flesh falls off. You heard me!

• Lo Pan : And now, my beloved disciples. The moment of truth... the needle of love.
