Escape from New York

[Gravedigger]

This is one of my all time fav scifi/action films from the 80's and one of Carpenter's best. Russell is excellent as Snake Pliskken, along with a great supporting cast and a hip score.

thoughts?

good call.....somehow I can never NOT watch it even when it comes on network tv

although I must say that escape from LA really blew ass

I love this and LA. Ny get a 9/10 and LA a 8/10

Didn't impress me...in fact, John Carpenter has yet to impress me, even with Halloween (5/10). This incredibly dated movie just struck me as really lame. All the characters were really annoying, especially the "bad guy" Duke. I could pull a better bad guy out of my ass. I especially liked at the end when Snake says "A lot of people died for you today." I'm thinking to myself...5 tops, right?

5/10

Yeah, I love Escape From NY too. Haven't seen Escape from LA in a long time, prob should check it out again.

I actually liked Escape From L.A. more.

I loved Kurt Russel in N.Y. but the movie just sort of...bored me.

On my hornbag days I wanted to just let Snake Plissken have his way with me. Oh yeah, the movie was damn good to watch also ;)
