Kurt Russell, Lee Van Cleef, Ernest Borgnine, Adrienne Barbeau, Isaac Hayes, Harry Dean, Stanton, Donald Pleasance - fantastic cast.
Trivia: The director, John Carpenter, was married to Adrienne at the time. Season Hubley, who played the hot blonde in the Chock Full O' Nuts that was taken by the crazies, was Kurt's wife at the time. |

Attention. You are now entering the Debarkation Area.
No talking. No smoking. Follow the orange line to the Processing Area. The next scheduled departure to the prison is in two hours. You now have the option to terminate and be cremated on the premises. If you elect this option, notify the Duty Sergeant in your Processing Area. |

Fun fact, at the beginning of Escape from LA Snake is wearing the same costume from NY, after 12 years, it still fit him perfectly and they made no alteration to it.

Nice guy and intelligent. But I'd sure hate to have him mad at me. |

My Dad was stationed at MacDill during the late 70s. He took me to see a few of those Mid-south matches. I was too young to know it at the time but I was getting a chance to see some real legends go at it. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I read that a remake is in the works. Not that EFNY is perfect. It's not. However, it's biggest failings, IMO, were simply budgetary. Having a fatter wallet isn't a reason to remake a movie. I think of a writer, or a director, or an actor, saying, "I have an idea for a different take on Snake Plissken." Well then, it's not going to be Snake Plissken, is it? Then I think of a writer, or a director, or an actor, saying, "I'm not going to mess with Snake. We're going to play him just like Kurt Russell did." Well then, why bother?

I have the novelization of it. Some fun backstory there. Snake lost his eye when one of his goggles cracked and the poison gas killed it. While in the processing center, they stuck him in the Castration Room to think it all over. They had a metal box that they placed over your groin and wham, no more balls. They did this to inmates before turning them loose inside.
It was a great film and concept, and very dark and gritty for its time. |
