Adrienne Barbeau made her best movies when she was married to John Carpenter. All of the movies he made for her to be a star and our great Classic Movies. I love going to the movies in the old days when we had real movies to go to.
So right! Adrienne Barbeau is a beautiful woman. I miss a couple of movies she made with John (gonna make up for it asap xD). And you're right about having old-school movies we can go to... It's gotta be a mix between nostalgia and crappy-new-movies :D
Dude, to be honest, those coloured neon-like minimalistic images of Manhattan skyline and the Statue of Liberty are damn damn iconic! They're so cool, still today... xD 400% increased crime rate? well, it's fine... today should be even higher xD
Dude this is beautiful!! I wish you all the best (i hope i bring you luck, not that i have much of it for myself xD) 100% agree with your channel logo... i can't help questioning our ppl's strenght when the Elite can rule us so ruthlessly! (edit: not that i root for Trump or anything, i just love the message! I do believe it says the truth)
I *love* this movie and theme song. Can't think of many other title themes that are as good as this one. Thanks for posting it! Fun fact: Tommy Lee Jones and Charles Bronson were considered for the role of Snake Plissken. No way. Kurt Russell was made for this role!
Absolutely right!! Proof is all the other movies Carpenter made with Russell... c'mon, they were perfect for each other xD Carpenter critical of the government, Russell rebel against the government. Can't think of a better match :D And they are actually a voice to many many people whose view is not represented by the government. About this vid, it's just a tribute to those two legends! :D
I'm not into this kind of things, but to me the only solution would be the contruction of a high wall all around Manhattan Isle, with mines placed on each and every bridges to the isle, the US Army patrolling along the borders.... and the absolute denial for any aircraft to fly over the island, especially for the Air Force One with the President on board with sensitive nuclear fusion info in his suitcase!! :D
@@stevedj101 i can only make a few guesses: something related to the usa social conditions now? or the way it all ended up this way? dude you just pique my curiosity... what do you mean?
@TrashLid yep, my wish too... I think there's something in 'The Thing' foretelling our western conditions right now. Even if you pay attenction at the ending: the action goes in standby and the protagonists just wait to see how the situation evolves.... that's not a normal ending for a movie (there's gotta be something in that we don't understand).
@@-Runo Mr Carpenter was basically making predictions for the future of not just his homeland of America but the rest of the World eventually ! I believe anyway 🤔🤔🤔🤔
I like that part xD Carpenter managed to portray the President of the United States as a reasonable man with common sense (pretty weird, huh...), who got in serious troubles, got rescued, and then he had his righteous revenge at the end. Too bad none will ever know that tritium is better for nuclear fusion :D
@@-Runo That is a good observation. If you are with a person who is seeing the film for the first time, that person is always surprised by the switching of the tapes, which is apparent when the president turns on the tape player. LOL
@@balozhende5727 Lol yep, you're right! Maybe bc we can listen to the original tape in the taxi, while the runaway group was in a rush, and played literally for few seconds... (honestly, since i'm not native english speaker, i can't even understand much of those few seconds xD). But anyway, that funny scene with the president playing the swing music at the conference is really epic (his face too! :D).
Exaclty! Not only bc Russell is a good actor after all, but bc he seems not playing at all, he seems to be himself! He's a 'natural' anti-hero... Jonh made a great decision back then to pick up Kurt. And everyone else in the cast too: Brain, Maggie, the President, Romero! They are all 100% believable. Maybe Cabbie/Borgnine was a little bit 'comical', but he was playing the relaxing part, just for easing the tension i think...
Isaac Hayes was good, no doubt. I like him both in EfNY and as South Park's Chef lool. But i think he wasn't perfect for that role. I mean: i'd like to have "The Duke" more 'evil'... he just seems 'lazy' to me. Brain and Romero are more evil then him... maybe bc he's not as bad as a person, idk (knowing he's in Scientology makes me doubt alot... xD). I didn't even mention Lee Van Cleef... there was no need. That man is another legend! :D
Damn true man, damn true.... people are different nowadays... Maybe Snake was right in EfLA to shut down the Earth xD I think we need another John Carpenter. And another Snake!! :D
My fantasy is to make a prequel of Escape of New York. Taylor Kitsch playing a young Snake Plissken as a Special Forces soldier. Showing the character arc from all American hero to American outlaw. Of course Kurt Russell would potray the President. Which would be just cool as hell for him to pass the torch to a young actor playing a character that he had played decades earlier.
I'd love to watch a prequel of Snake's downfall from a soldier hero into a outlaw!! Also, your choice of actors is perfect: both Taylor Kitsch as Snake and Kurt Russel as the president fit so well :D My only concern would be the director. Carpenter isn't a director you can replace so easily... I bet he has 80ish badassery running through his veins still now :D If a prequel has to be made, then it's up to him, and none else :D
"You can't meet the Duke, are you crazy? Noboby gets to meet the Duke! You meet him once and then you're dead!" :D (still puzzled who's that Eddie tbh xD)
Dude now i envy you for seeing this masterpiece in a drive in lol xD Only two people can survive the Duke, Snake and the President. (Snake, ofc, doesn't give a f*ck about the President... :D)
Never appears in the film but that Statue's head really add to this apocalyptical territory, the whole movie is in that single picture!! Hail Carpenter who create another iconic character (along with Nick Castle); more cowbell i mean tambourine please.
Dead right!! A shot with a fallen Statue of Liberty's head far off in the background'd be so epic... You're right about Nick Castle. A very nice and productive collaboration they had xD
@@-Runo - They ended up using the promo shot during one of the tie-in comics BOOM! did for the original film, as part of a storyline where Snake goes back to New York to find President Harker.
@@crazyrabbits that's what Legends do!! :D I think this is part of the reason why we're still here loving this masterpiece... it's the spirit they put into it xD
Great movie..even better soundtrack. This is first thing I taught myself to play on the ol Yamaha synth. I also have to laugh how the actual Escape from New York started during Covid and is continuing daily... who would want to live in that over-priced, crumbling leftist utopia.? It looks like the set of an 80s post apcolyptic movie and more.
Just awesome dude! By the way you guys are descibing NY's state, it sounds intersting having a trip there right now. For a EfNY fan, there must be alot to see that resembles the actual movie :D

Can't agree more!!!! Part of the reason this is a legendary character is the fact Carpenter didn't allow anyone to spoil his works. This thing only made me grow my respect and admiration to him to the top. I love "They live" too, it's on top of my list besides the two you mentioned. About "Escape for Los Angeles" and "Big Trouble in Little China", they lean to 'comedy' a bit too much, but i *love* them nonetheless xD Not to mention Carpenter's musics...

Can you imagine the nerve of the regular people who said fuck no I'm not moving this is my neighborhood and they are still there. Those are New Yorkers.
The novelization, which I strongly recommend for fleshing out the context with a lot of surprisingly plausible detail about the war, the crazies, the USPF, etc., stresses this in particular with Cabbie. What else could he do with his life but drive his cab in NYC? The poor bastard even dies in his ideal casket, the driver's seat of his cab.
Dude he was just spectacular... his acting was so immersive i have the distinct feeling he wasn't acting at all, he was just himself being 'mad'... You can feel a real tension when he's around, just over the top. Nice catch btw! 100% agree with you, he stole all the scenes xD
@@-Runo Sad to see he died a few years ago, always remember him shooting the kid at the ice cream truck in Attack on Precinct 13.He didn't have to open hismouth but Christ, what a presence.Think I remember him saying John Carpenter gave him permission to play the character as he wanted.
Dude thank you!! It's been long since i listened Lacuna Coil... nice tip! I loved their music, can't believe i forgot about them for so long. Thank you again my friend :D

My absolute favourite movie of all time. Growing up most of my friends wanted to be Luke Skywalker or Rocky, not me. I was always Snake Plissken. Kick ass music.
Can't agree more man!! Snake Plissken is the best anti-hero hero of all time xD I'd like to see his legacy continue over time, but at least we have Carpenter's movies and (for me) Metal Gear Solid's games... :D
When asked by a floozy who he was the Snake replied to her "I'm an a$$hole" - what a self-recognition 😄 Did you really want to be one? By thecway in the final scene when he destroyed the tape with scientific research data on nuclear fusion he fully lived up to his own description of himself - by destroying for no reason the humanity's hope for better future
Yeah, but why he did it? He destroyed the nuclear fusion tape in the first movie, and reset the tecnology level by shooting with the satellite's system in the second. For me, he did it because he was seeking a way to bring back tecnology down to a human level. Bring back the future to human level. Not the hypertecnological bullshits ppl started to see back in those days. I sincerely don't know if he was right or wrong. He was just doing what he thought was right. That's what a$$holes do... an anti-hero goes his way no matter what! :D edit: far from me pushing thoughts into someone, but just after my answer to your comment, i got the notification about a video of a channel i follow.

@@-Runo In EFNY, Snake is never concerned with right or wrong he is only focused on survival. This is made clear in his iconic conversation with Hauk in the office. We see that Plissken is world weary, been through too much and has lost faith in humanity. When Snake destroys the cassette it underscores what he stated earlier that he doesn’t “give a fuck about your war”. What will be will be. Snake is not convinced that humanity deserves to survive. As for Escape From LA… Well, I try to pretend that film was never made.
@@StaticMachines I fully understand that EFLA is conflicting and divisive... but in its ending, when Snake shuts down the Earth, finds a pack of cigarettes with "american spirit" on it, lights one up with a match, looks straight to the camera and says: 'welcome to the human race'... well i see there a clear message. Both of you guys are right in saying that Snake is world weary, disillusioned and has lost faith in humanity. But maybe he's also weary of dealing with ppl that give importance to tech bullshits instead of humans, human feelings and stuff. I mean, humanity is the most important thing, not Iphones TikTok and whatelse... if a machine can do a human's job, what's the purpose of the human race? I don't know if that's what Carpenter wanted us to understand, but i do agree if that is the message. Don't get me wrong, not that I have that much faith in humanity... i think we're all like Snake here, that's why we love the character. I just think maybe we gave us hints to build back to a better world... or to underline when we started to do wrong at least.
wtf happened to this comment section? A couple of months ago it was people talking about how cool the movie and soundtrack are- now its full of nutcases and putin sympathisers:(
I know man.... xD It all started few weeks ago with people commenting about New York's state today. I leave room for everyone's comments here, and (in a way) they're still talking about the movie xD We should start complaining about the state of LA next :D:D
@Klemheist dude i know almost nothing about Putin and Russia (partially due to the war). But one thing struck me few years back: apparently he set himself 'big boss' of the Moscow mafia (that's where all the Putin-boss memes were from years ago xD). Idk if it's true or not, but if it's true, that's brilliant. Not only can he control what's going on in the underground of the city, but he can rule things as he wants, like a boss! If we compare this to the movie, he is now both Snake *and* the President at the same time! Kudos to him :D:D
@Klemheist you sound like someone who bought western propaganda. I, for one, am neutral to this war. Yes, Russia invaded Ukraine, no doublt about it, but NATO put missiles reaching Moscow to Russia doorstep. Is that something russian ppl should not react to?!? What if Mexico or Canada start placing missiles aiming at NY or Washington on their borders tomorrow morning... wouldn't you start worrying?? But there you have Propaganda telling you Putin is evil... right??

We all ❤it :D Snake has that kind of 'sharp' humor that makes him even more legendary lol. That Hauk/Snake confrontation scene when Hauk hires Snake is just a masterpiece! Love every second of it :D edit: about Eatwood/Russell, idk really how much close they are as actors... Snake is a world-weary rebel, the Man With No Name is a fast-shooting thief... the only thing they have in common for me is that they don't seem to speak much lol :D
@@bigc-up2ok yep, you're right, Snake is Snake, and he's got little to do with Eastwood. But Russell and Carpenter said that "The Man With No Name" (the Eastwood's character in many spaghetti westerns) was a big inspiration to both of them, either to write the char as to play the role. Idk, they seem to have little in common, but they said that... Actually, the spaghetti western characters were so popular in the end. I play a game of the 'Metal Gear Solid' saga, and one of the character (Ocelot) was directly inspired by Lee Van Cliff, in one of the movie when he's the villain. The good old times.... xD

Dude lol this is a very good question!! I think you're asking about the D bc you assumed the S stands for Snake, but it's actually not the case. The full name is: S.D. Bob "Snake" Plissken... There are sites (here for instance: snakeplissken.fandom.com/wiki/Snake_Plissken ) saying that its meaning was never revealed... idk to be honest xD Apparently Carpenter said he knew a man, and this guy had a friend who had a schoolmate with that name, I wonder if that's true... I can make a guess thou. Carpenter said that both he and Russell took inspiration for Snake from the 'Man With No Name', the Clint Eastwood's character in many Spaghetti Westerns (here: screenrant.com/escape-new-york-kurt-russell-clint-eastwood-snake/ ). Now if you go on the Wikipedia page for the 'Man With No Name' (here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_with_No_Name ) you can see that one of his aliases is 'Mister Sudden Death'.

We watched it in the early 80s on a top loading VHS with a cabled remote. As kids we thought it was pretty corny, which it is, but like all of Carpenter's early films they are cinematic classics. And yes we saw all of them when were kids and I don't think it harmed us. Films of this quality are unimaginable now.
@@halo5725 Dude i can feel the nostalgia right from your words... I don't know if EfNY is corny actually. I understand it may seem 'flat', i mean the story is linear and predictable in the end. But i think back then they were careful about storytelling, and they didn't want to put too much weird stuff in it. For instance, EfLA is different 15 years later: it has more action and lots of plot twists, but it lacks of 'seriousness'... idk, it comes down to personal flavour... I, for one, love everything done by Carpenter! :D
Sir, i envy you now :D I was a kid in the 90s, i was too young to see it in a cinema, as long as alot other masterpieces... Luckily for me, Carpenter's works are so good i didn't need to go to a theatre to enjoy his movies. I loved them at first sight later on xD
No no! xD The picture was done back in 1981 for the theatrical release of the movie. I just clipped the intro and the outro, faded in the poster with the mid-song zoom then fade it out, and extended the theme. The 'Legendary' *John Carpenter* made the good parts: the movie and the theme! :D edit: a guy named Barry E. Jackson made the poster back then xD

I apologise if I sounded flippant with the comment as I had a few beers when I commented. I think the picture is brilliant. I like how there's the connection with 'The Planet of the Apes' imagery with the head of the Statue of Liberty.
Dude absolutely not! Why 'flippant', i liked your comment... Fitting perfectly with Snake's character, i might add! :D:D And you're totally right about the link to 'The Planet of the Apes' imagery. They are visually really close. Maybe in EfNY the Statue of Liberty has more to do with a lost freedom, more then a lost civilization like in PotA. But nonetheless it's a nice catch. I didn't think about it before, but it was in plain sight now that you told me lol :D
Watched this film many times as a young man. Who could have thought the title would end up being true? but then with a trans-alien Mayor I am not surprised it destroyed the sh.thole it already was becoming and now is!

In effetti 'Jena' fa molta più presa di Serpe / Serpente, oppure Serpico come l'altro film con Al Pacino! Un po un peccato stravolgere il senso del nome, ma capisco la scelta... :D

This theme is actually from his first one, Escape from New York. The second theme, Escape from Los Angeles, is a bit different, even if resembles the original... I'm fine with the second, but EfNY is unbeatable imo :D
No... I think he's perfect! Wait, you mean in the movie or in the poster? edit: cos, in the poster he has kind of a weird face i admit it, but in the movie he's just perfect. Really, can't think anyone else with his 'rebel attitude' (so to speak xD)!
I respectfully don't agree with you. I don't know what makes you say so, but remember the movie was made in 1981, lifestyle, life-pace, and lots of things were different back then. And you have to consider the movie is about an anti-hero, meaning someone who goes his way, his style, his timing, no matter what. To me, the perfect example of this way of thinking is summed up by the scene when Snake is clueless about where to go and what to do, and he grabs a chair among garbage stuff, and just sits there waiting for an idea or something to happen. You don't see this kind of stuff in mainstream movies or high badget production. You need a genius to do that... Anyway, i'm curious about your point. Can you explain?
@@-Runo.. There's more to it... but effects. The effects are horrible even of the time. I have always thought if you can pull things of, making it look believable, ok. Do it. 👍 But if you can't, go another way, change the scene, story and what not. To make it all make sense, look believable and good. Even today stupid mistakes and poor work is being done in movies. Fight scenes with close up of hands, legs and faces cut together in a mashup of fast paced clips, where you have NO idea what is going on, even for a person with insight into martial arts. Lighting is another hugh problem. A majority of movies has such dark scenes that your unable to see little to anything. I reasonly watched a movie (or didn't watch) because half of the movie was all black. Not to mention the stupid nonsense Hollywood style explotions, stupid plot twist, and overpumped hard core sensless action just to please a crowd of people with low IQ. Sorry for my english.
@@PpAirO5 You have a good point and your english is fine :D (i hope mine is too! i'm not native). I don't know what to say... I do agree some scenes look a bit cheap, but i never cared much about that. There's something more 'human' (sort of speak) in having things not done perfectly or seemingless. To me, characters have so strong personalities, they 'overcome' the effects, and i end up more attached to the story... About the Hollywood nonsense in movies, i can't agree more with you. After the three big trilogies we had in the early 2000 (Star Wars, Matrix and Lotr) Hollywood went downhill (in freefall lol :D)
@@-Runo.. I totally agree with the last part. Lotr, is a f@%# masterpiece if you ask me.... though there are still a few scenes like Legolas almost flying unto a horse back from a standing position (looks really odd and stupid) and In The Hobbit Legolas running across bricks from a falling bridge (if i remember correctly) it just looks waaaay out there 🤦♂️ Most movies have a little something not working well for it. I'm none native either 😄🤝 Your english is outstanding 😉👍 Ohh, and Disney destroyed Starwars. THANKS Disney 😠😒
@@PpAirO5 "Ohh, and Disney destroyed Starwars. THANKS Disney" the TRUTH finally spoken!! :D ...also, some scenes in Lotr are a bit off i do agree. I, for one, don't like the fact that starting from mid-The Two Towers on, there's someone crying every ten minutes xD But no movie is perfect!
If God felt safe in a small wooden ark covered by two cherubim imagine what he would need in NY today probably a 50ft thick bullet proof sarcaphogus equipped with laser guided missiles
