FAQ

CB radio is an unsecured broadcast in a limited range of frequencies. ANY trucker using CB is able to pick up and respond to any messages sent. Kind of like an open chat session, but in the middle of the 20th century, and with truck drivers. So, Jack is talking to no one and everyone, though I'd guess his frequency would be pretty popular.

It is unknown and totally up for personal opinion. Some believe that he was attacked and killed by the beast hitching a ride on his truck, whereas others are confident that Jack would have defeated the creature and continued on his journey. At one point, a sequel was announced, but later scrapped, starring Kurt Russell. This would suggest that Jack Burton was alive and lived to fight another day.

Upon seeing that Lo-Pan has been killed, out of sadness and anger, he either lost his temper and uncontrollably exploded, or allowed himself to explode on purpose in order to commit suicide.

The Theatrical Version lacks the Kurt Russell comment "Fuck it!". The later released VHS contains this comment but lacks some other footage of the turf war between the two clans. The DVD and Blu-ray are uncut.
