Escape from L.A. Making of (TV special, 1996) 

Solid Snake Born here.

About as cool as dad dancing. I wanted to weep when I saw this abomination.

Wicked cool! Not just any wave, either....a tidal wave, (tsunami if you prefer)!!✌😺

@@PhoenixLyon For reals man, one scene that is worth watching this film. And even the final ending, what a great way to end the film, Snake is one hell of a badass pulling a huge stunt like that (bright side: no more pollution). Love when he smokes the cigarette and he then looks at us like "What are you looking at?" Nice touch of humor. I'd love to see an *animated* third _Escape_ film with Russell voicing Snake, that'd be interesting, better than a reboot/remake I'll say.

It was okay but totally lacked the grit of the original. The updated opening theme was good though.

@@DemonBoy3223 I hope Kurt Russell dose a redo on escape from NY it would make me very happy to see him have a better movie of him

Shout Factory could've at least put this on their Blu Ray release of the film.

@RU-vid Stalker81 Gee, I guess I didn't anticipate that ALL viewers of this video would have a COMPLETE knowledge of Kurt Russell's movie anthology. MY BAD.

I am fan of first therr you mentioned.Also Tango and Cash.

3 out of 5 isn't bad. Especially if the 3 are great classics, and they are.

@@thefinerthingsinlife4557Escape from L.A. has its charm, but I'll accept your ratio of 3/5. Still a passing grade (and as you say, those 3 are cult classics)!

JC is the reason I love Kurt Russell so much. Kurt owes him his whole career!

You forgot Robocop and Rambo

Kurt has seen your post and he thanks you for your kind if somewhat stumbling narrative. Thank you Alek, ironically yours- Kurt Russell x

@@jimmypopt.v.3037 Does your sht PoP out regularly, I mean normally every morning, or are you constipated? Or other extreme, your but ruined? Sorry for my stumbling narrative. BTW, how many languages do you speak?

Really? It was a ropey remake when it came out and the passing years have been very cruel.

Sure but we got to see a better ending.

it was a piece of shit.

This movie was great. I honestly enjoy it more than the first movie (controversial, i know but hear me out). It’s not really a remake as much as it is a satire/parody of.....well, a lot of things, but big budget Hollywood action sequels are definitely one of it’s targets. I love how ludicrous it goes. The action scenes are really fun (and unlike the first movie are more prominent and much cooler). The cultural and political satire was much more pronounced and a bit more relevant today and honestly I thought the cast and music was much better than the first. Yeah, the CG is really bad, but it’s not there a whole lot and the staff didn’t have a whole lot of time or budget so cut em’ some slack.

jeremy leal at a certain point doing something bad ironically is still just doing the thing badly

Watched XrazorfistsX video essay?

I would say the 80s and 90s were the epitome of acceptable cheesiness. Watch Lawn Mower Man 1, it is so damn cheesy.

These sweeping generalizations about decades don’t make sense outsides of the general perception of pop culture only.

It's true, thanks for the technology and the end of the cold war era, but when 2001 happened it wasn't surprise at all, we knew something gonna happen soon. The USA is just too good business to not exploit it.

@@opaljk4835 If it works it works.

@@Zodroo_Tint ehhh, it doesnt

this movie is full of cgi

Nah, he is actually cool.

Good for you 👍

Better yet, do two prequels with Wyatt Russell as a young Snake Plissken. Call the first one 'Operation: Leningrad' and the second one 'Operation: Siberia'. You can introduce characters in Snake's platoon like Harold Hellman (aka Brain), Fresno Bob, Taylor, and Car-Jack Malone (aka Hershe).

I would do a film adaptation of Snake's time in Cleveland.

Fuck yeah, i dig that.

I was thinking the same thing. He is not posturing at all, he knows what's going on and just wants to be left alone in the last vestiges of freedom he has like smoking. He is not cocky and is forced to be heroic while not wanting to be. He is afraid but his courage is his cool factor. Love the ending, shuts down the entire planet then lights up an American Spirit cigar,... the irony.

It's coming out in April thru shout

This ain’t on it.

@@kamdan2011 - There's a lot of stuff they should have put on the release. They should have waited for Carpenter/Russell's schedules to clear to record a commentary (how did they not have time given the current pandemic restrictions?), and added some more material like ad galleries, the deleted scene/FX reels that were found earlier this year and the associated behind the scenes specials.

There is kind of a third movie, it's called ghost of Mars, carpenter's last movie

Don't forget that the 2nd sequel was suppose to be Escape from Cleveland but that was just suppose to be a backstory which was mentioned a few times in Escape from L.A. There is a comic book of it though found in the dvd of Escape from N.Y. I heard there is an Escape from Earth rumor based on the story of Ghost of Mars & Elysium. Carpenter would do a great job on that hopefully.

Why? To see some people in action who are dying from old age? 😂

He already say that he will not play any of his father character especially snake plisken

He was...until in the late 80s when what the fuck happened I've no idea.

Same thing happened to Spielberg, the magic he created early on turned to dust. ie: Kingdom of the Crystal Dust.

@@georgioquestor597 Spielberg turned obsessed with Aliens

You know there is a problem with your thinking if you go somewhere telling the people how something else is better.

Its an underrated movie, that gets a bad rap simply because it partially copies the formula of the first film. But that's what most sequels do anyway, like the much-loved "Back to the Future" trilogy for example.

@@Moviefan2k4 they went a bit over the top with this - surfing - basketball etc

Didn't see it in the cinema but watched it on TV 📺 4:3 as a kid and thought it was an epic film..... Can't get into escape from new york though tried it and lost interest.

compared to the original, it's a total piece of shit.

Lieutenant Dude Nonsense.

Metal gear solid plot is completely different

Hideo Kojima

it was supposedly done on purpose as a satire on Hollywood and lazy sequels.

@@EfftupSmith lol, how convenient

I liked how Snake found a moment to just sit on a chair waiting the plot to continue. :)

You don't know what "ahead of its time" means.

@Nick Xero no it was lazy writing shit

hardly

Garbage movie. Watch escape from new york.

@@virnan I have watched Escape from New York and it’s good however I personally prefer Escape from LA.

I always thought that Jeremy Renner would have been great for a retro Snake movie.

still has some great sequences and a jaw-dropping ending

@@jjrj8568Sorry, not for me. Was like watching one of your fave bands get back together and realising the magic has gone...time has moved on.

@@philmellor4885 in my opinion this movie should have been made in 1990

@@philmellor4885 The ending fixed the whole shitshow of a movie. If you don't see it it is your loss.

Serbia also loves other nation's territories.

This is not what "literally" means.

Not really.

@@Zodroo_Tint shut up
