Does this trailer mashup suggest that Christopher Nolan is a closet fan of Big Trouble in Little China (1986)?
Despite the plethora of Inception-themed trailers online, it is worth checking out:
Made by YouTube user scarecrowsimmons, he says:
“This is what happens when Wes and I sit down to watch “Inception” and both think old Ken Watanabe looks like Lo Pan”
There do seem to be bizarre parallels between the two trailers: key Asian characters who age, dreams, zero gravity fights, elevators, water and crumbling buildings.
Anything else?
