Let's admit it now, John Carpenter was *_way_* ahead of his time, somewhat prophetic. I mean _Escape from New York/L.A._ and _They Live,_ the warning signs were there in his films. Dude's a prophet when it comes to America's future.
When you realize that L.A. did not need a natural disaster to be destroyed, the people destroyed the city themselves. Look at the situation with the tens of thousands of homeless people and drug addicts on the streets, the poor sanitation bringing back medieval diseases, 2019 finds Los Angeles on the verge of civil unrest once again, just like in 1965 and 1992.
Christian Knows he is not joking, the state of California itself is ran by corrupt officials who allow cities in such as LA and San Francisco to deteriorate and disease from the medieval times are resurfacing.
Kat 77 yeah, do you live in a state with a senator preaching anti-gun ownership and Selling Guns in the Black market and only gets 5 years? Live in a state where an app pin pointing locations of human shit? Got Governors preaching about gun violence but gives clemency to convicted Murderers and go back to the streets?
Well it was made like 2 years after the first game so CGI sucked pretty bad back then, only a few movies from that era still hold up like Jurassic Park, Terminator 2 and Starship Troopers.
Yeah man totally looks like the intro of Tiberian Dawn! :D. When the buildings collapse especially, just waiting for a reporter to say "earlier today, the brotherhood of nod..." :)
One of the key things I remember about the film was Valeria Golino's character. She's a Muslim, and she tells Snake that she prefers staying in a place like LA and be free rather than going back. Man, this film was ahead of its time in some points.

All cgi are not bad in the film. It is well known that the company making the fx went brankrupt during the production and numbers of effects were left unpolished. The glass tower fall is very well realised by 96 standards, same for the gigantic wave in the opening but other like the copters arrival or the sea cross were unpolished, textures are even missing!
I'm reminded, after watching this....anybody ever watch this movie and think "The President deliberately triggered that earthquake"? Seems like his prediction was TOO on the nose...
It did seem supicious. He predicted a major quake it targeted specifically the city and surrounding area it even seperated and then shortely after he gets to be president for life and turns the entire country into a christian police state. Yeah its likely he or somone he knows did something.
More likely he was going on loose timeframe scientific predictions like the Yellowstone Eruption, and his followers ignored that science predicted it first.
They almost made a sequel called "Escape for Earth", a concept that started in the 2000s, but because "Escape from LA" failed to pull in any money, the project was canceled. They were also planning on a TV series "Escape from New York" in July of 2000, but due to the September 11 attacks, it too was canceled.☹ 😢
It’s fun. Wouldn’t call it great, but once you accept the poor CGI for what it is as well as the laziness of the plot (in so much that this film is practically a remake of the original in the concept) you can begin to appreciate some of the finer qualities present. It’s far from perfect, but I don’t think it’s terrible.
The America in this movie is truly a dystopia. Near the end, Snake asks one of the army guys for a cigarette. The guy tells him, “The United States is a no-smoking nation. No smoking, no drinking, no drugs. No women - unless of course you're married. No guns, no foul language... no red meat.” They also seemed to ban all religions other than Evangelical Christianity.

Full Life 3 I don't know how John Carpenter does it but the man have a crystal ball where you can see the future the president is really a take off on Donald Trump and if you see those extras in the Escape From New York including the bank robbery scene that was not added to the full length motion picture they were talking about a cashless Society they had to steal credit card chips they're worth billions in the so-called United States police force or take off on homeland security what else Carpenter is a f****** genius no matter what he did he was a f****** genius he could see the future man in the future was not pretty
Notice the continuity error? In Escape from New York, they say "In 1988, the crime rate in the United States rises four hundred percent. The once great city of New York becomes the one maximum security prison for the entire country. A fifty-foot containment wall is erected along the New Jersey shoreline, across the Harlem River, and down along the Brooklyn shoreline. It completely surrounds Manhattan Island. All bridges and waterways are mined. *The United States Police Force*, like an army, is encamped around the island." In this opening they are announcing that the *United States Police Force* is being formed in 1998.
1981: Escape from NY (Set in 1997) NYC becomes a Maximum Security Prison 1996: Escape from LA (Set in 2013) LA becomes a Deportation Camp 20??: Escape from Chicago(?) (Set in 20??) Chicago(?) becomes a Detention Center only for terrorists, war criminals, and other political prisoners. In other words, Guantanamo Bay 2.0
Between this film and a few others from the 90's and specifically the Purge trilogy-which to me was eerily prophetic, I mean think of how this cultures currently going in so many ways. Between this one and N Y, both by director John Carpenter, while I saw many similarities, both with script and characters, but LA's opening credit sequence seemed more intense with the theme. Opening title sequences in media have lost most of their creativity over the last decade, but I wonder who would agree.

escape from New York. Al Bieliek said once the earth changes are done LA is separated from scale and what is left is an island with downtown area of la still above water. If you ever notice in escape from New York it begins with a jet hijacking of air force one and the plane slams into a sky scraper not the world trade centers but snake eventually lands the glider onto the world trade center. 911 conspiracy theorist pointed out if those jets really hit the world trade centers then the wings should of come of like in the movie.
DanTheMan1985ful Where do I start...governors they have locked down the state for For four months. It’s illegal to walk outside, it’s illegal to go to a park. If you don’t wear a mask get a fine. If you protest in some states you can get arrested. Even though it’s your constitutional right you still can’t go to a church, otherwise you’ll get fined and arrested. Why don’t you read up on current events and join us
You should check out the BOOM! Comics tie-in series for Escape From New York. The final arc of the series is "Escape from Cleveland," where Snake and a group of hired guns still the U.S. Bill of Rights from a Federal Reserve and try to escape the city. Easily the best arc of the series (and directly ties into this film).
@@grahampeters91 Actually a dicator would ban anything if he saw it the ability to control something. Just cause trump favors not banning guns at the time he was in office, doesn't mean he would have kept that mindset later. Its very likely the moment someone did something that threatened his power you'll see those gun bans show up real quick. Oh and likely would be outright banning, not sticter laws.
Give Donald Trump a 2nd term as President and this is what he's gonna do, rewrite the Constitution to set himself as president for life and turn both California and New York as prison cities for his political opponents.
The four level interchange with the original guard rails. The guard rails on the second and fourth levels have been replaced with concrete guard rails. The third level is the only one currently that still has an original guard rail.
