Big Trouble in Little China

The album's title comes from a line from "Big Trouble in Little China", and refers to a sack that contained the magical tools/potions of Egg Shen as he led Jack Burton, Wang Chi, and the Chang Sing in their desperate attack against the evil Lo Pan.

Cquote|Egg Shen: Can see things no one else can see. Do things no one else can do.Jack Burton: Real things?

Egg Shen: As real as Lo Pan!

Jack Burton: Hey, what more can a guy ask for?

Egg Shen: Oh, a six-demon bag!

Jack Burton: Terrific, a six-demon bag. Sensational. What's in it, Egg?

Egg Shen: Wind, fire, all that kind of thing!
