Carpenter's music always seemed so simple..yet..so original..never to be duplicated. The man knew how to compose and direct. His Assault on Precinct 13 music was great too!
Yup! The movie is set in a dystopian time. In dystopian environments, YOU DO WHAT YOU CAN WITH WHAT YOU HAVE. YOU GET CREATIVE. Thus the car with chandeliers
You may think you're cool...but you're not "Isaac Hayes shows up in a caddy decked out with chandeliers over the headlights and a disco ball hanging from the rearview mirror" kind of cool!!!
i totally agree with you there :) if they ever make a sequel they should force carpenter to use the old analog instruments to make the soundtrack....besides bladerunner this is the best soundtrack ever
What does your family do: Don't they have u eat hot dogs? Aye, try one of their All-Beef B-B-Q Bacon-no, those aren't *kosher!!* Hmm... they mode? You mean "mote.." 👊
The Duke's in febretory, what's his unit? Oh, 82nd Airborne, at least! (Just give him that.. AT LEAST!) You better not be blowin kisses at me, (he thinks everybody! No... not a one. He's got 'issues.." for that he can be kilt!)
Cabby exclaims "HUH!!! IT'S THE DUKE!!!" Then Maggie walks into the bathroom and says "What are you two doing with my toliet?" So snake steps out from behind the shower curtain and says "I wanna see a duke."
Nah, Cabbie doesn't get it... he been in a long time.. Now, he works for le under! Too bad, Rest in Peace 🙏 Signed, I tried to warn u at 3rd Street there is an "official hot dog" 🌭 vendor who goes up the street yelling, "Who stuffs a Ball Park in a bun without no onions?

Half of the reason why I love his films so much are because of the fantastic scores
Now that is how you truly pimp out a ride - with chandeliers!
The one dislike probably saw their living room chandelier on Duke's ride.
I also like how its jacked up at the back!
Pimp my ride before Mtv
I would love to do that to my car when I retire!!
On the hood of my car!
this has always been one of my favorite scenes cinematography wise. nice to see other people also appreciate it
This scene is the epitome of a "pimp entrance."
i think that is probably my favorite scene from the movie. Just because of the music and the dukes cadillac.
Nobody messes with the duke!
I love that car.
Needs more cowbell.
DerPinguin44 I have a fever and the only prescription is more cowbell
One of the best villains in the film industry.
Such an awesome movie!
They tried to redo it with Escape from LA but without Isaac Hayes just wasn't the same your bad guy needs to be as good as your hero
I love cowbell wood sound then the claps start a little piano then the pepper shakers
Brilliant music and scene.
I love the minimalist music scores in Carpenter's movies.
This movie aged well.
one of the best movies ever! RIP Issac!
sign🐺
Me and my mate died of laughter everytime we watched this scene! Chandeliers!?
Yup! The movie is set in a dystopian time. In dystopian environments, YOU DO WHAT YOU CAN WITH WHAT YOU HAVE. YOU GET CREATIVE. Thus the car with chandeliers
slick pimpmobile + badass drumbeat/cowbell combo = WIN
Isaac Hayes plays the duke, He's the chef in South Park and also the man who made the theme song to Shaft.
My dream car....scene filmed in my hometown!!!
Anything with cowbell gets my immediate, supreme approval !!!!
Another movie where music fits perfectly with image.
Always loved the movie and soundtrack.
Amazing how the Duke's theme sounds like the intro to AC/DC's Soul Stripper.
I Have Always Loved This Movie,Especially This Scene The Music,The Caddy!!🙂.
I love that music.
I think the Duke's Caddy is a low rider. It's back end was lowered when it stopped.
Hydraulics need a battery charge lol
I would so drive that car around. Imagine rolling up with those guys. No one would hassle you
I'm gonna build a car like this as a project.
how cool would it be to drive a car with chandaliers and a disco ball in it?
This white boy says very!
Duke of New York A#1
john carpenter needs to put out all of his songs on cd cause he wrote all of this music plus the movies thats what i call a genius
“Hello there, Pliskin!”
“Hey Duke!”
“How’s it goin’?”
“Bad.”
“Why bad?”
You may think you're cool...but you're not "Isaac Hayes shows up in a caddy decked out with chandeliers over the headlights and a disco ball hanging from the rearview mirror" kind of cool!!!
I need a Cadillac with some chandeliers on the hood.
That's a real OG!
I would imagine a chandelier car is driven more safely than ever. So every car should be fitted with them.
I'm gonna have to get the DVD later and watch this,been to long
I just heard he died. R.I.P.
And this is a great movie, probably the flashy MTV generation dislikes it but I love this movie.
The Duke is the PIMP! xD He is the MAN hahaha
Love his car.
What a fucking entrance.
Duke doesn't need more cowbell.
thats dope man.....i think i need to get me a disco ball for my car..
Duke: Hello there children
Gosto dessa sena muito top viva os anos 80
Chandeliers and cow bell 😊
What did the Duke do that inspired such a huge loyal following, allowing him to control Manhattan uncontested?
i totally agree with you there :)
if they ever make a sequel they should force carpenter to use the old analog instruments to make the soundtrack....besides bladerunner this is the best soundtrack ever
Cabbie was a bit too fast to run and drive off.......ya know
Why isnt the duke riding in the back ?
i use to think that the duke was the perfect arch-enemy for snake.
Everything needs more cowbell
Great music with a great plisskin in a great movie ^^
Can somebody tell me what's the car please ?
This moment gets a lot funnier when you realize the Duke is Chef from South Park
No... Chef is Duke from Escape From New York
Makes you wonder doesn't it? Is the music played only in the background or does the Duke play it on his car radio as well?
Damn that caddy
the duke arrives/barricade - john carpenter & alan howarth.
It's all in the cowbell. Straight g'ing.
His ride has chandeliers. The Duke is a nerd. He must be on his way to a convention.
Hello there Plissken
chandeliers=pimp Cowbell rules
Chef!
Issac Hayes FTW
The Duke rode shotgun?!!
BOSS !
Damn the Duke kicks ass, wish he was in charge of NY instead of Bloomberg.
Hellooo Children
its unwatchable at 240p
Cooler as ice!
Everybody knows that!
romero reminds me of billy idol
You meet him once and then your dead.
Who else came here from 'Written in Blood' by She Wants Revenge? :D
1 crossed The Duke!
Nothing like a classic John Carpenter flick.
One person crossed the Duke.
What does your family do: Don't they have u eat hot dogs? Aye, try one of their All-Beef B-B-Q Bacon-no, those aren't *kosher!!* Hmm... they mode? You mean "mote.." 👊
what a car lol :D
@buffzombie LOL good one
that slime cabbie high tails it and makes it to the cab in 4.5 seconds
Spooks always run out on a fare so....
what's the charge?

bank robbery.
oh shit.
fuckin hilarious!!!

Needs more cowbell
Beat needs more cowbell!!!

In the remake instead of having one Duke why not have 5 Dukes of New York all of them ex military troops.
Pimptastic.
Nah, Cabbie doesn't get it... he been in a long time..
Now, he works for le under!
Too bad, Rest in Peace 🙏
