We guess it was inevitable that one of the funniest action/horror movies of all time would needlessly get a remake. Let’s just hope it does star The Rock.

Big Trouble in Little China was definitely a highlight of both Kurt Russell and John Carpenter’s careers and pretty much perfect, in our opinion, the way it is.

However, if a remake is going forward, take some solace in that it might star Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson who made an earthquake disaster movie make bank over the weekend and that the writer of X-Men: First Class and Thor is co-writing it.

Worst comes to worst, Honest Trailers will surely have something spot on to say about it.

Well, here’s a great example of a prank where rather than a victim, there’s a winner as well as some nice promotion for San Andreas.

What started out as a bit for Screen Junkies during a press junket long ago has turned into not only a friendship between one of their own, Nick Mundy, and The Rock, but has made for one hell of a surprise wedding prank (an actual legally binding wedding FYI) that, for our money, tops all those choreographed proposal videos on YouTube.

Watch it all go hilariously and wonderfully go down here.

Yes, they have plenty of pun “kill lines” too.
