- RETURN TO "ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK"
(2003 / MGM / 23 mins. total)
Prod. & Dir. by - Michael Gillis
In the summer of 1981, surrounded on all sides by big budget blockbusters like RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK, CLASH OF THE TITANS, DRAGONSLAYER, FOR YOUR EYES ONLY and SUPERMAN II, a modestly scaled independent actioner / social satire called ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK opened, seized the imagination of the public; then went on to become one of the most successful films of it's year as well as one of the most popular cult films of all time. In the retrospective, RETURN TO "ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK", original cast and crew (incl. director John Carpenter, co-writer Nick Castle, producer Debra Hill, cinematographer Dean Cundey, and stars Kurt Russell, Adrienne Barbeau, Issac Hayes, Harry Dean Stanton and more) look back decades later on one of the most enjoyable filmic experiences of their careers.

This demonstrates what you can achieve with some imagination and guts. No CGI crutch, no suits tinkering with everything, no huge merchandizing plans.
Kurt Russell plus John Carpenter equals magic
*Kurt -.o
Man the music is another character in the movie ... That's how perfect the score was
Totally agree. The music helps make this movie a killer movie.
Good films seem to always have good music scores.
chazz Lucas you described it perfectly
It helps that John Carpenter also wrote and performed the score, in addition to directing.
@@aqacefan Carpenter wrote the music for all his films, I believe. You hear that synthesizer and it just screams John Carpenter Film, heh.
The greatest movie ever. Best score, best cast, best premis and execution. It's to unsung
Escape from New York was a different and defining movie of that era. John Carpenter along with other directors like Walter Hill (The Warriors) and Michael Mann (Thief) ushered in cool new visions for sci fi and action movies that stretched from the late '70s into the '80s and beyond. Can't get enough of these movies!
Same could be said for the Thing with the exception of the action movie bit. Although it did for Sci Fi Horror what EFNY did for Sci Fi Action
Andrian's twins played an outstanding support role.
Wish I could ERASE my mind(amnesia) and watch Thing,Fog and Escape from NEW York over and over again!
Ha i just watched for thue first time and im 48, always thought it was gonna be cheesy, then i watched the commentary with kurt and john, then i watched the movie, anything but cheese
The thing, Escape from new york ,They live.... John Carpenter is A number 1
Aracely Emmett Halloween, Christine, Big Trouble In Little China, Assault On Precinct 13....
@@llg3pe I´ve got The Fog right up there. Absolutely love it and the music omg
An absolute popcorn classic.
As a kid, I wanted to be Snake Plissken. I am 50 in 3 years, I STILL want to be Snake Plissken!
Scoring, prop creativity (chandlers on cars), location scout managers, film editors, costume designers, so much, such goodness....runtime 1 hour and 46 minutes - wished it was a 3 hours and 58 minutes.
Watch Escape from New York on Escape from LA back to back. 15 year difference and Kurt Russell did the part as if it was only months.
imagine that. 5 million dollar budget makes a fun and excellent movie. How much does disney spend on star wars? and its absolute trash. isnt that just remarkable?
Don't forget that waste of a theme park for SJW star wars.
Disney did drop the ball with episode 9 . For sure. I kinda digged 7 and 8 .but maybe I'm getting to be an old softy in my 39th year of life .
Takes a lot of imagination, good writing and acting to make up for small budget.
Yes. You don’t need an over the top budget to tell a good story.
I love this movie.
John Carpenter is a genius...that's all.
''Escape from New York is a 1981 American science fiction action film co-written, co-scored and directed by John Carpenter. It stars Kurt Russell, Lee Van Cleef, Donald Pleasence, Ernest Borgnine, Isaac Hayes, Adrienne Barbeau, and Harry Dean Stanton'' Wiki
I'm on holiday next week, and escape from new york is on the menu. Snake what are you doing, playing with myself, great one liner. Thanks for the view. 👌
Ox Baker did a great job in that role. My only other picks for that role might of been Big John Studd or Andre the Giant.
Saw it three times. I'll never grow tired of it.
Adrienne Big Juggs
2 best directors of all time George A Romero and John Carpenter!!! No one else will ever be as great!!!
Greatest movie EVER!!!!!
This is awesome!
I can't remember if I read the book or saw the movie first but I loved both. A classic!
Don't even think about doing a remake
ESCAPE FROM NY, THE THING , BIG TROUBLE LIL CHINA......EPIC EPIC 80s movies. that STILL holds up today....now thats a great director.
It's sad that so many of the great actors have passed like Isaac Hayes, Lee Van Cleef, Ernest Borgnine, Donald Pleasence, Harry Dean Stanton and Frank Doubleday.
Best soundtrack ever
Long live John Carpenter
It just shows how people are so easily entertained nowadays movies like this hardly ever being made.
One of my favorite endings to a movie ever
Interesting case study to contrast with George Miller and the Mad Max franchise. Miller took up the post apocalyptic concept with asphalt and gasoline. Carpenters visions was guns and guts. And over time, as asphalt and gasoline have morphed in the social consciousness, Miller has adapted his ideas to human trafficking and exploited people and was showered with accolades (I just came here from reading a retrospective on Fury Road on NY Times site). Meanwhile those themes were part of "Escape from NY" from the beginning. However Blisken's character represented an optimistic libertarian beacon... the inherent hard boiled tough guy with the unflinching ability to call the cards as they were dealt. And the Max character, through the original 3 trilogy films, as well as the reboot, was always a character adrift in a tidal wave of dysfunction whose humanity was somewhat lacking. For example, his flirtations with the idea of staying with the force after they bribe him with the V8 pursuit special lead to the death of his wife and baby in the first film. In the case of Blisken's universe, Blisken doesn't cause anyone's death so much as he helps them discover their own human dignity in a cause greater than themselves. Maggie's death (note how Brain dies first), for example, is not a deforming moment for Snake to lose his humanity over, but instead he uses that to test the humanity of the President and he finds the President lacking, whereby he destroys the Presidents MacGuffin.
Just such a sad thing IMHO that Mad Max has had a second life in the age of male guilt, Carpenter and his vision about civilization, corrupt authority, and the power of stoic masculinity has been pigeonholed by Hollywood into Halloween remakes for audiences who have forsaken one of his best social commentary films as a kind of joke. Sure it was a hyperbole, but at it's core was 1980s version of Conan the Barbarian with a S&W, cargo pants, and an eye patch.
The name's Plissken
Kirk R. Who doesnt care about hollywood awards at least i think so. A much uder rated actor.
Brings memories......
ffs that was great! Thanks
this should have thousands of views atleast :(
D Come back, look where it’s at now
D come back!
heard there is suposed to be a third sequal called escape from earth? Where the is it make it all ready mr. carpenter.
I always heard kurts son was to play his dad in the remake of this movie.
CALL ME SNAKE.....
He gladly went back into that character for the sequel and you could tell he did it without skipping a beat.
A remake, just for the sake of better special effects and a grittier, more realistic vision, would maybe work, BUT, nobody would do it without a new PC angle and a gender flip or two, so, no way !! Besides, the limits of the effects in the original are part of it's appeal.
It was/is an awesome movie and brings back so many memories! But I don't dare to watch it again... won't ruin that memory!
Alexander Wingeskog I know exactly what you mean. Sometimes it’s just better to leave things are you remember them.
I´ve watched it +200 times now and i still have the memory of seing it the first time. Gets better and better :D
Harry Dean Stanton is a boss
Their was a rumor Ken Stabler was supposed to play Snake Plusskin and back out of the role because he was in the middle of the football season at the time is that true.
Kurt Russell always does John Wayne and Clint Eastwood.
funny how fiction becomes reality.
Private
At 2:30 that's his real life wife at that time
Dc 8????? LOLOLOL It's a Convair 340 or 440. NOT a jet aircraft.
If they do a remake, Charlie Hunnam from SOA would play a great Snake...
I hope they never do a remake.
@@AN71H3RO agreed, couldn't be improved.
No remake. Instead, another sequel with Kurt Russell as an older (but still dangerous) Snake Plissken. Or, two prequels - Operation: Leningrad and Operation: Siberia with a young Snake Plissken played by Kurt's son, Wyatt Russell.
REMAKE REMAKE REMAKE!!!!!!🙏🙏🙏
Trump would be perfect for the role of the hapless pussified POTUS.
I thought escape from L.A. was a better film.
Best ending of all time in my opinion and overall a good movie but there were definitely some shit parts
That film was a trainwreck.
Better? I like it more than most but the entire thing is a just a rehash of the first
