It's amazing how well they captured the likeness of LA 2022 way back in 96.
This was the purge of its time
You mean this isn't actual footage?
So many cities became dumps.
Big government thrives on human suffering.
You mean how they captured Mike Pence in the President? He's too polite and intelligent to be Donald Trump
For Snake Plissken, there is always a third option: Everybody loses.
So don't screw with him.
Escape from NY was the best,, landing on the world trade center... escape from LA was lamo...really Carpenter ? wonder how much his agent said he'd make on this bomb ? The ending was classic though
The ending makes the movie so much better at least...
What do you mean"lamo?" It's brilliant. It's literally the same movie as the first but goofier
Let's make smoking great again
@@colinmerritt7645 Nah Im happy with having red meat.
I met John Carpenter at Galaxycon live last year. He was such a nice guy. I even got a signed "Escape From LA" photo from him. He even wrote "Welcome to the human race" like I asked.
Hopefully that was the real him and not a..."thing".
Then I'll get a "HomeAlone" photo with a M.Culkin signature, with the writing: "And keep the change, you filthy animal!"
i worked for a zine that did an interview with him, he truly is a kind and gracious person, glad to have interacted with him
That is epic!
At least he didn't write " Go f#$k yourself " . He did that to Frank Darabont
What's amazing is how these "unbelieveable" '80's dystopian flicks are becoming more like reality every day.

I think most of us agree that this is an irregular film... with a perfect ending.
How did hologram Snake hand him the detonator?
Doesn’t make sense
@@h2w25 He never did.
Yep, it was a FUN film. Never took itself too seriously (Although the message at the end was spot on). I enjoyed it.
@@h2w25 It didn't. They took the fake one off the girl. Watch again.
these MF's did the whole "haha, we outsmarted you" speech and bet the entire world on his ignorance, then they realised he had the power and were like "please bro"
Carpenter's score doesn't get enough credit. It elevates this scene so much.
100%
I always loved the simplicity of his score. It is the whole less is more idea.
It's also Shirley Walker's 👍
Love how Kojima admitted to pulling direct references and inspiration for Big Boss/Solid Snake from Escape From New York and LA's "Snake" Plissken.
And that alone just makes this character so mysterious, and far more interesting.
Say what you will about these movies being janky and corny...it's intentional, and it's just a frickin' blast.....truly a movie from another era.
Yup! I caught on to the inspiration way back when the game came out in the 90s! The Solid Snake acted, the way he talked, I said to myself; "Wait a minute.... Solid Snake.... Kurt Russell... SNAKE PLISSKEN!!! lol. You got to be an early 80s or 70s baby to catch the similarities. Millenials, and Gen Z will not get the reference. I wished Snake Plissken character was seen more on the silver screen. I don't think know any other actor that can pull off Snake Plissken like Kurt Russell. If they restart the ESCAPE FROM NY again, they will most likely cast a female as Snake Plissken. I will NOT watch it!
Wow you guys helped i always suspected that there was too much of a similarity with this snake kojimas snake coz i remember back in 97 watching this and later on playing MGS1 in the early 2000s i had a feeling there was some kind of link. Now you saying kojima admitted to pulling some ideas from the movie 🤯
I wish they made MGS movie before Russell got too old.
@@jarrrr69 it would be very hard to pull off the talent of Kurt Russell. Jason Straten is the only actor I can see as a Solid Snake on the silver screen. But, he's getting older too.
There was going to be escape from earth?
"Everything we've accomplished in the past 500 years will be gone!"
"You say that like it's a bad thing."
"The Four Horsemen shall rise again to cleanse the unworthy masses and strengthen the bold."
Funny how we are starting to live that now. The shutdown wasn't an EMP, it was the reaction to the coof.
Its not even true. Its not like the EMP destroyed libraries 🤣 I always thought that was a stupid line. If anything, the world would be back up and running in a couple of months.
@@mr.raslyon6626 eh. That's debatable. Idk if you've ever been in a natural emergency where supply lines and emergency services aren't readily available, but people devolve into savagery pretty quickly when they don't know where their next meal might come from. New Orleans during Katrina, for instance. Actually, scratch that. Look at anywhere hit with a devastating hurricane or tsunami. It doesn't take more than a few days, a week at the most. 2 months without tech? Yeah, we wouldn't be getting much of anything up and running that soon, if we can even get organized enough to do so. Far too much of modern tech is built on a house of cards. It would be pretty bad. It already HAS gotten bad, in temporary situations where greater whole of society was still functioning and online. The whole world at once? Nothing but the most hardened of facilities would survive, and you can bet your ass that they A. wouldn't advertise their piecemeal or of sheer survival instinct, and B. they wouldn't be so quick to volunteer help.
@@mr.raslyon6626 Unless this version of the US banned books along with just about everything else because they couldn't be easily edited or amended online for 'political errors'.
@@mr.raslyon6626 Maybe in this world they did the stupid thing of converting everything "important" to the information highway and burned all the rest.
Even then, I am sure some of it was protected in F. cages and books that didn't get burned.
Saw this when I was 11 years old. I still remember that ending like it was yesterday. I didn’t fully grasp the gravity of it, but it stuck with me and I knew it was epic. Wow, one of the greatest endings to a film, all time.
'welcome to the human race' , indeed
I thought he would be taller
was this movie released in canada?
@@MrCageinblood😅
I never thought Escape From LA would turn into a documentary about life in Los Angeles today.
With a wishful ending.
Do you realize it has prophecied the fascistic theocratic system implemented by conservatives and Trump called Project 2025 to outlaw cussing, veganism, polytheism, homo/transsexuality, muslims, etc?
Boy do yall snowflakes love to exaggerate and cry about nothing 😂😂
what do you mean? like los angeles sucks? like it's a city of sin?
@@user-wd6me5vz7p Do you live under a rock? Have you seen how bad it is in LA? Have you seen the crime wave spiking? Have you seen the homelessness?
The forth wall break at the end always gets me.
"...Our way of life - everything will be lost"
"Oh, now I have a good reason to push the button, thank you"
We might even get it right this time. But, I doubt it.
The best soldier, betrayed by his own commanders who haven't been in the field. So his revenge just feels natural.
Can apply that to everything nowadays. lol
I think as he said " The America I fought for died a long time ago.” If you look at the context of the movie it’s true. If you see the beginning of the movie President declares a lifelong term. President can only have two terms…also it didn’t go before legislation did it? Probably not now later in the movie you see them on a your life going to LA. There’s no jury no defense so there is no 14th Amendment on not taking a persons life liberty or property without the right to due process. The next one a lady thrown in LA because she was Muslim so much for the First Amendment. Finally the guy saying no guns so no Second Amendment. So to sum up you got a dictator with a serious I am god complex.
Could use a few snake plisskens out there.
this also applies to yet ANOTHER Great, but underrated Kurt Russell movie: Soldier
@@Aeis_Kalt And his role in Stargate.
You have to admit, Kurt Russell is a really good actor. He went from being a badass in this movie, to being the vulnerable Jeffrey Taylor character in the movie Breakdown.
From Wyatt Earp in Tombstone
Shit few people remember Breakdown.
Ole Jack Burton
And Mr Nobody from the later Fast and Furious movies
Breakdown was definitely a good movie
"Hey Plissken!"
"The names Snake"
"Oh, okay. Hey Snake!"
"The names Plissken"
Makes me laugh every time. The dick we need to deal with all the assholes.
Honestly yeah. Save for rendering every electronic device useless, the world needs a Snake Plisskin.
The name is Plissken; Asshole. "Pushes Button."
It was symbolic. He was done with warring and took back his humanity. Part of why this ending is so cool.
"Hey Robocop"
"My name is Murphy"
"Hey Murphy"
"My name is Robocop"
Preach man, preach; there's a huge difference between a dick and an asshole, people don't get it; an asshole is just being him/herself; a dick always has a reason for being a dick.
Hands down still one of the best endings in all of the cinematic history 🤘😎🤘
welcome to the human race
agreed, that single guitar. give me chills
It is all around terrible ending for mediocre film.
Yep. I wasn't even aware that this film existed. But they DID nail the ending!
@@J--12 No. A great ending for a mediocre movie!
"I am the righteous hand of god, and i am the devil that you forgot", that phrase really fits here
Is that Nine Inch Nails lyrics? Sounds like it would fit in a song such as 'Mr. Self Destruct'.
"I am a silencing machine. I am the end of all your dreams."
@@DeadPixel1105 it's from the song "Hell's coming with me"
Poor mans poison is perfect
Even a not-so-good John Carpenter movie is miles more inventive, intelligent and entertaining than most modern Hollywood blockbusters. Worth watching just for the ending alone. And any movie with Steve Buscemi and Pam Grier can't be all bad...
Don't forget Bruce Cambell.
I think it would still have a lot of problems even if the visual effects were better (this is one film I genuinely wouldn’t object to getting the George Lucas treatment) but it’s still a lot of fun and much better than people give it credit for. As a film it’s scraping past OK for me, but as an experience it’s a good time, nowhere near the level of the original on either counts though, but then that was always going to be tough!
He's not the hero we deserve he's the hero we need
He's actually both when you think about it.
He destroys a source of limitless clean energy in the first movie and kills billions of people in the second movie.
Hero?
If I were a hero, I would have an eye patch, call me snake
Greatest movie ending of all time. Kurt Russel was at his peak here and in the thing.
The Thing was quiet a few years earlier.
@@redbarchetta8782 Yeah, those are my favorite kurt russel movies though. I think the thing was like 1984 and escape from la was like mid 90s. Kurt Russel is a great actor.
Not even close. Russell topped out in 'Tombstone'. THAT was his best acting gig.

Haven't seen it in over 20 year's but I come here just to see the look on his face when the music start playing. . One of my favourite scenes in movie history.
Favorite * Just so you stay American.
I salute you Hideo Kojima for keeping snake pliskin legacy alive onto a video game with a wonderful story 👏
Hideo Kojima is the true Big Boss
Metal gear started in the 80s this is a decade off
@@Kraken160th escape from NY 1981. Metal gear nes 1987. I'm talking about from the beginning including LA
Yeah, true, but I'd love video game with real Snake Plissken. 😢 Or another movie... or novel... Talk about wasted franchise potential.
@@Kraken160thMGS2 and MGS4 take heavy inspiration from EFLA. Ocelot's entire goal is to do what Plisskin does at the end of LA and the whole "the more things change the more they stay the same" is a central theme to both 2 and 4
I don't care what Anyone Says! This is a Pretty Good Movie! And I Totally Love that Snake gives the Whole World a Big F-U Ending!
Agreed..
Wish there was a device to "reboot", if you will..start over and take in account all the Horrific mistakes that were made.
The 70's/early 80's weren't all that bad
“Pretty good,” operative phrase here. Not balls-to-the-wall great like EFNY
Kind of ironically funny that the end of this movie is were we should be heading if we wanna survive.
Compared to Escape From New York, this movie sucked big, wet, hairy donkey balls. It was HORRIBLE!
That surly look Russel burns into the audience at the end was pretty great.
I forgot about the "No red meat." Shit, I'll move to Antarctica.
The whole damn setup sounds a whole lot like America today, doesn't it?
At least there he won't have to worry about a thing
Kurt Russel unbeatable, brings back " the good old times"
the 90's is truly the best decade for movies
The rest of this movie was honestly a pretty lame excuse for a sequel (from what I've read John Carpenter didn't really want to make it but the studio pressured him) but this ending is an absolute masterpiece. An even better ending than the Escape from NY in my opinion.....
the ending of this one definitely assured that there wouldn't be a part 3.
@@benjaminlucas1635 there might be... There was talk about Escape from Earth but of course this was a yr after this came out.. They was talking about Aliens attacking an snake was a clone or something like that it's been forever since I've seen that
@@mamasboy9886 from what I understand now there have been plans for years now to reboot the whole thing with a new Snake Plissken. But we know the only true snake is Kurt.
Yeah the movie...sucked but the ending was boss.
Part one ending is a masterpiece with the music. Part two is an masterpiece sounding like metal gear. I salute hideo Kojima for keeping snake plisken legacy alive with a wonderful story
I love Snake Plissken. He's the hero we don't want, but need...
The special effects in this movie were atrocious, even by 1996 standards, but I think it adds to the charm. This is a great guilty pleasure movie and worthy of the first one.
The inspiration for Metal Gear Solid! We wouldn't have Solid Snake without this movie, or the previous. So that justifies their existence.
One of the best cinematic bad-asses of all time. Fuck the noise. I enjoyed the film and the ending.
The vibe in these movies is unrivaled, love carpenter
Clearly a movie ahead of its time. Fast forward to 2022.
This is the ending that we need right now in today's world.
Return to monke.
Seriously
The reality is that, no matter how many times we reset humanity, we will still end up getting to this same exact point eventually. Such is human nature.
@Ara so what?
@Ara _"Billions!!! Once again the press under estimates me"_ Lex Luthor.
This was the best movie for me as a young adult. Seeing the ending now reminds me that sometimes, it is best for everyone to lose.
I wouldn't shut down the earth but if there was a way to shut down both sides weaponry that would be a better outcome
@@samanthapatrick4345good point.
Loved this movie. Loved Plissken's final act of defiance and the world code 666, so something I would do and loved the guitar play during that button press moment.
call him Snake

What a way to put the entire world back to square one.
Where’s snake when you need him?!?

Kurt Russell would have been a GREAT wolverine at the time. Hell, he'd be a great "old man Logan" if he wanted to.
*that bass line is still one of the most iconic ever written, up there with seven nation army and the opening riff from They Live*
Honestly that is what we need right now ...
Exactly what this earth needs right NOW!
Thank you for posting this! It’s such a great ending. I wish they could have made another, with Carpenter directing, with the new dark world. Almost like a modern western. Something like The book of Eli, just with Snake.
That wasn't the plan snake was supposed to go to Mars and that's where the script for ghosts of Mars came from,they changed it around since this movie wasn't a hit.
@@ericseitzler81 Weird...maybe I’m glad they didn’t do another. What happened to John’s movies around this time? Halloween H2O springs to mind.
@@facina3390 yea he seemed to lose his touch,maybe it's because he is more focused on his band at the time but idk that's just a guess.
@@facina3390 escape from Mars could a been cool if they left the monsters out of it.im not sure if that was in the original script or not.
Someone observed that in Big Trouble in Little China, Kurt Russell was channeling John Wayne. In the "Escape From movies, Kurt Russell was channeling Clint Eastwood.
still one of the best endings of any movie in my opinion
the only thing better was to have the government stooges die, still a great FU to this dictator of a "president"
Who knew these movies would be so accurate for where we're headed.

1996! The year I was brought into this world. Not a “great” movie by any means but wow I love this movie. Just showed it to my old man and little brothers and they loved it! One of the best endings to any movie ever and my dad and I both love Kurt Russell. 16 years since New York and he hasn’t aged a day 😂 thank you John carpenter and Kurt Russell for your contributions to cinema/film.

@HisVirusness nah man. I'm talkin churchhills
Funny thing is that LA looks so much nicer in this movie than the cess pool it really is today.
Why can't we get that kind of movies today...
We need escape from earth, would be cool to see Kurt Russell take up his role as Snake Plissken 30 years later.
Might be hard without retconning this ending 😁
Or better yet, Escape From Miami, where most of Miami-Dade County becomes a prison after breaking off from Florida from a hurricane, and his grandson, Snake the Third goes there to rescue the VPOTUS, under orders from the President.
Some parts of the world will have gotten it's function back by then.
This is an interesting idea...perhaps they undid the EMP pulse damage somewhat, and so probably would take about 20-30 years to recover. And make it some ultimate Climate Change monstrosity that needs to be taken down so Snake saves us from ourselves. Perhaps the people are trying escape Earth, after wrecking it. Ultimately, Snake is about saving Earth.
Soldier
Should have hooked him in The Expendables.
"No smoking, no drinking, no women, no this, no that." Man Ken Titus must have hated saying that.

@@chance2012rocks1
I think he purposely left out Red Meat for a reason :P
I love this ending, they keep fucking with him through the whole movie & he outsmarted them in the end LOVE YOU SNAKE
Still a great movie after all these years.
I always thought the Stacey Keach character was hoping Snake would do exactly what he did.
Deep down he did, he still had some morals not having Snake killed on the spot and didn't wanna do it anyways till pressured. He must have had enough of this stuff too. All that stuff he listed is insane that's banned cause of this "president".
I caught the same tone of voice. That quiet pleading, followed by the loud "don't do it" to cover his ass.
Not a great movie, but I did love the line "They're targeting Lynchburg!" All my relatives are from Lynchburg, so that line gave me a warm feeling inside.
That’s a good name
I approve

@@GAURAV25855ify yep, that’s it. Cliff Robertson’s character was loosely based on Jerry Falwell.
The music in this movie, the cowboy scifi feel of it all....amazing!
One of the best movie endings ever.
I like the movie ending also, because it was just a movie, but in real life, the whole world would suffer greatly because because of a shutdown electrical power, that's so many depend on but like I said this is just a movie so the director can take liberties with it, and Carpenter shows for Snake plissken to shut the power down all over the world. 😢
The hologram projector prop for the movie was a US issue Army lensatic pocket navigation compass that was painted/modified.😆
worked just fine, didnt it ? ;) :)
Not sure if the spelling's right but I think it was a canmega compass. Issued to our service men around the time this film was made.
John Carpenter je t'adore toi tu fais quelque chose qui en bouche un coin tu étais vraiment un vrai génial à l'époque et tu l'es toujours pour moi, merci pour cette petite diffusion si mémorable comme toujours au revoir
This movie shows how power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely regardless of who you are or what you believe in.
This movie felt like the last hurrah of the over-the-top, 80s action style of cinema. So cool!
"I was wondering what kind of lame switch you'd pull this time,Plissken!" Hahaha-Up yours!:)
Love that guitar playing in the background
These escape movies, influence, metal gear, solid
Most of this movie basically does straight up riffs/retreads of escape from new york's beats with updated/changed visuals.
This ending though. Masterful.
That was the point. It's a parody/satire of the 1st film without the wink and nod of saying that it is.
Greatest ending I ever saw out of a movie.
Me too.
Kurt Russell’s best sci-fi film ending since The Thing.
Love these movies. Nothing like em today. Classics.
Apparently Kurt wrote this ending himself. It remains his sole writing credit.
That 4th wall break at the very end was very cool
Underrated sequel!
I remember perfectly when I went to see this film in 1996 together with my school friends in a small village cinema, I was thirteen... this film left a strong impression on us, greetings from Italy to Maestro J. Carpenter!
I had forgotten how awesome this sequel to ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK is. This finale in ESCAPE FROM L.A. was the biggest middle finger to twisted America that you don't Fuck with Snake Plissken
Well done Kurt Russell. God bless you sir.
the ending needs to happen in real life, shut it all down. start over.
Love these Movies...
My favorite movie!!! This is a true masterpiece. I get that a lot of people hate this movie but I never understood why. It’s very clever. In the beginning, I absolutely love that he’s wearing the exact same clothes from the first movie, like he hasn’t changed, the world has. Carpenter makes a film that is a sequel that is totally parallel with the prior one until the very end, at this time the movie makes a sudden turn in a different direction where snake gets revenge on the people who screwed him over with a double switcheroo and at the same time, in many ways, probably saves humanity in the long run by forcing them to start over and hopefully get it right this time. Then throw in the L.A. culture nods of basketball and surfing like he did in NY with the baseball culture nod. it’s completely underrated on like every level. Amazing movie and one of russels best performances. If your a fan of the first one and of the legend snake plissken, this should be up on your list. It’s a love letter to the first film and a continuation to one of the greatest sci-fi characters of all time.
Apparently those were the exact same clothes from the first one and 16 years later he still fit into them!
@@thesoicybroadcast9384you should look at both movies again, those are not the same clothes he wore.

love the end scene when he looks at you smashing the 4th wall.

We'll have to start all over!
Snake: Yeah. And maybe this time we'll get it right.
“You can't meet the Duke! Are you crazy? Nobody gets to meet the Duke. You meet him once and then you're dead!”

Took me all of 5 seconds after they submerged offshore to recognize Snake Plissken's 'Modes of Infiltration' from both 'Escape from New York' AND 'Escape from L.A.'.

I don't know how much of this story is true or not, but I had heard the original ending was going to have Snake toss the devices off to the side then limp away towards the camera where it'd eventually fade to black, but after tossing the devices away Kurt Russel saw a pack of smokes an extra or soundguy or whatever had dropped and so he improvised bending over, picking it up, smoking it and then blowing the match out at the camera, and that they reshot the scene and just changed the brand from real world Marlboro to American Spirit to go along with the movie.
American Spirit is a real cigarette brand actually. So the story that the pack of smokes belonged to a crew member is totally possible.
@@DeadPixel1105 Ah didn't know that. Kurt was also a heavy smoker back then too from what I recall, so that adds credence to it as well. Not sure if he still smokes or not.
Would be so funny if they were showing this film in the theater and the power in the building went out at the exact moment the Satellites fire.
