947. James Pax "Lightning" large straw hat from Big Trouble in Little China. (TCF, 1986) This oversized hand woven straw hat was worn by the character "Lightning", portrayed by actor James Pax in John Carpenter's 1986 cult classic Big Trouble In Little China. Mr. Pax wore this exaggerated version of a traditional Chinese style hat in multiple scenes throughout the film, along with the other two "Storm" characters, "Thunder" and "Rain" (portrayed by Carter Wong and Peter Kwong respectively). The hat measures approximately 30 inches in diameter by 14 inches tall and has the original black stretch fabric cap with Velcro neck closure attached to the inside crown to keep the hat in place, and attached brown cloth strips with fixed knots used as chinstraps as seen in the film. The interior of the cap is complete with the original tape label inside with the name "James Pax" clearly written in black ink. In an interesting side note, the signature look of the Three Storms hats created for Big Trouble in Little China later inspired the look of the character "Raiden" from the Mortal Kombatfranchise. The item is in good screen worn condition and is accompanied by a letter of authenticity from the costume house that supplied the wardrobe to the production.
