Nickolodeon's animated 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' series will see beloved characters from the epic cult film 'Big Trouble in Little China' in an upcoming episode.

My kids are just getting into 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' so I don't know much about the latest animated iteration of the series. I do, however, love 'Big Trouble in Little China' to death and David Lo Pan is one of my all time favorite movie villains. That's why I was psyched to see that he'll be squaring off against the ninja turtles this week. While it's not actually the exact same character in the series, he is voiced by the same actor -- James Hong -- and is undeniably based on him. Hell, he even brought "The Three Storms" to the party.

'Big Trouble in Little China' tanked at the box office back in the day, so we never got to take another ride on the Pork Chop Express with Jack Burton. At least now we'll get to see some of those awesome characters again... sort of. Either way, I love it! The episode premieres Friday, September 12th at 8p on Nickolodeon.
