Escape From New York

[Slug03]

What are your thoughts on this movie, i think its definitely a corner-stone

in sco-fi/futuristic films. This film is SO UNDERATED! Kurt Russell was

SPECTACUALR in this movie. I think that they wasted the potential they had with

the charcter "snake plissken", they should have made a sequel in maybe 1983 or

1984 and not not wait 16 years for a sequel. That just embarassing!




What's your feeback on this movie?


feel free to post

very good film, impressive for its day, and still now actually. had a kinda bladerunner collness bout it - if more popular/action'y'. was a shame the sequel was a bit shit i thought. dont get me wrong, it had good bits too, but wasent a patch on the first one

and i think kurt russell is underated generally, hes done a lot of good films (especailly one where his wife gets kidnapped wehn he stops for petrol-cant remeber the name)

in a lot of movies, kurt russell seems to be playing an 80s version of john wayne. :lol:

agreed, though. i prefer carpenter's "the thing," but escape from ny is good, too. just about any film that features harry dean stanton (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001765/) in a supporting role is usually worth watching.
