Escape from LA was like Caddyshack 2 as far as sequels go.

I escaped a little over 15 years ago-only regret was not leaving sooner.

The motivations of those producing movies are exclusively based around profit, not story.
Hence the god awful shit that continues to come forth that only a 14 year old would think resembles cinema

It was very disappointing.

Where Escape from New York still holds up, L.A. is mostly hackneyed and clichéd.

"You gonna kill me now, Snake?"
"I'm too tired. Maybe later."


Wonder whose idea it was to put a scope on an M-10 suppressor and make the M-16s look "futuristic" by simply removing the hand guards.

To the cop
With a gun
The Big Apple is plenty of fun

Stab a priest
With a fork
And you'll spend your vacation in New York

Rob a bank
Take a truck
You can get here by stealing a buck

This is bliss
It's a lark
Buddy, everyone's coming to New York!

No more Yankees
Strike the word from your ears
Spin the roulette
There's no more opera at the Met

This is hell
This is fate
But now this is your world and it's great

So rejoice
Pop a cork
Buddy, everyone's coming to New York!

I like LA's theme song slightly more than NY's.

Escape From L.A. Soundtrack


Also, I miss John Carpenter/Kurt Russel movies.  But that era is over.

The Air Force One hijackers quote sounds like something straight out of an Antifas mouth.......

"Tell this to the workers when they ask where their leader went. We, the soldiers

of The National Liberation Front of America, in the name of the workers and all

the oppressed of this imperialist country, have struck a fatal blow to the fascist

police state. What better revolutionary example than to let their president perish in

the inhuman dungeon of his own imperialist prison."

Not really a fan of the theme song but the Deftones one off for the soundtrack is one of my favorite non album songs of theirs. https://youtu.be/WBcYakkVyF4

Also the movie kinda got me to want a stainless mini 14 with the side folder

Bro, if you have never seen it...  just watch it as is.  Suck it in, but remember it's from a 1980's eyes.   No ARs for Snake, no cell phones, and such.  After you get beyond that, it's timeless.

Escape from NY and a few others such as Red Dawn, Commando and Predator to name a few. So much of an impact on my psyche it's hysterical yet accurate.

John Carpenter could remake HMS Pinafore with Kurt Russell in a lead role and I would probably pay good money to go see it.

I saw it for the first time recently. Awesome movie.

The scope mounted on a Mac 10 suppressor.... I guess it's cool because it's so retarded..... Or maybe it's cool if you just don't think about how retarded it is. I don't know.....

But regardless it's a badass movie.
