Elements

Big trouble in little china is a film which was then made into a comic book in the year 2000's it was inspired by a cowboy film.

Main Characters:

Jack Burton: Jacks a truck driver and he cares for himself and Gracey. His main mission in the film is getting his truck back which was stolen from him, Jack is the main hero of the film or so he thinks but in the end of the film at a fight scene he falls on his back and gets knocked out by some concrete so he was pretty useless. Jack is seen as the main character as he defeated Lo pan by throwing a knife into his head and saying "its all about the reflexes" 

Lo pan: Lo pan is the main bad guy who has set out to capture maio yin and Gracey as they have green eyes and he is under a curse where he takes the form of an old man so he needs to marry a girl with green eyes and do a Ritual so he can be cured Lo pan is eventually killed off by jack who says one of his one liners from the start of the film "its all about the reflexes" Lo pan also is in control of the lords of death (a gang)

Wang: Wang is a stereotypical side kick to Jack as he is out shined and over looked throughout the whole film however he actually does most of the things for Jack for instance in the fight scene at the end he takes down One of the 3 gods and some of there minions. 

sub characters:

Mr Shen: Mr Shen or egg is a bus driver who can do magic spells and a believer of black magic, Hes a useful character as he starts the film off explaining Jack and Wang's situation also he gives Wang and Jack useful information so without him they wouldn't have been able to stop Lo pan

Thunder, rain and lightning are the 3 gods who work for Lo pan they make it there mission to stop Jack and Wang from getting to Lo pan and stopping him marrying Maio yin. Thunder died by committing suicide and blowing himself up lightning dies by being crushed by a statue during the escape of the hero's and rain dies during an over the top sword fight with Wang.

Gracey: Shes introduced at the airport and shown as the damsel in distress from the start. Jack sees her and approaches her trying to chat her up but gets denied then hey meet her again in china at eggs house before they go to rescue Maio Yin she gets captured multiple times during the film further more confirming shes the damsel in distress. 

maio yin: She is also introduced at the airport went Wang goes to meet her she gets captured by the lords of death as Lo pan needs her to for fill his ritual to turn back to his mortal self shes also the side damsel in distress. So Jack goes to save Gracey and Wang goes to save Maio yin 

Emotional themes:

Jack: he seems self centred and only cares for his own things as we later find out at the end of the film he only went through it all because of his truck how ever he cares for his friend Wang and gracey
Wang: he has came along on the journey because he owes jack $2000 because at the start of the film Wang loses a bet to jack he also cares for his loved one maio yin and sets out to save her making jack and Wang good characters together. Gracey is introduced and she doesn't admit it but she has feelings for Jack so it motivates him to save her which is shown in the film.

• G1.MP main character of my game:

This is my main character in my game I used piskel to create him as a 2D model I’m making a shooter game where you play as G1.MP and go around saving his robot friends from being scraped   

This is the outline I used to create G1.MP

This is one of the many weapons available for G1.MP and his friend to use in battle he has built in guns on his arms but he can still pick up other weapons as a boost I also used piskel to create this weapon 

This is how my character’s will get around by default they will run around with their legs however you can pick up a jet pack to get a speed boost also made in piskel

This is a health item that you pick up throughout the world that will give you one life left the life will be shown by 5 gears in the top left of the screen (the heads up display, HUD) 

This is a gear which will be the health displayed on the HUD on most games the players have hearts as life but for this because you’re a robot it’s a gear matching your robots colour scheme
