Snake is on the run in this clip from Escape From New York. Grab the Blu-ray at www.shoutfacto...
A thrilling landmark film that jolts along at a breakneck pace, Escape From New York leapt to cult status with high-octane action, edge-of-your-seat suspense and the mind-blowing vision of lone warrior Snake Plissken (Kurt Russell) battling his way out of a post-apocalyptic Manhattan!
In a world ravaged by crime, the entire island of Manhattan has been converted into a walled prison where brutal prisoners roam. But when the US president (Donald Pleasence) crash-lands inside, only one man can bring him back: notorious outlaw and former Special Forces war hero Snake Plissken (Russell). But time is short. In 24 hours, an explosive device implanted in his neck will end Snake's mission - and his life - unless he succeeds!

In the novelization of this movie, the crazies were crazy because of nerve gas used by the Soviet Union during WWIII when they attacked New York. After three weeks the city became uninhabitable. The survivors hid underground and became that way. Also, Bob Hauk’s son was a prisoner in there and that’s why he became warden, to look for him.
The book also details that they smell like potato rot... nice little detail lmao.
Love the novelization. Good luck getting a copy though these days as it's expensive and highly collectible.
In the book Hauk's son was actually the one cannibal whose hand Snake blows off.
@thermonuclear collider Really? That’s a cool fact!
that means my theory was right. The crazies are the originals habitants of new york.
People forget that this was legit scary in certain parts as well as a phenomenal action/scifi/dystopian film.
0:52 is the stuff of nightmares
"Oh please take me out of here Snake! I don't want to be here in Bill DeBlasio's NYC anymore!"
FUN FACT: the girl (aka The Crazies DINNER) was Kurt Russell's WIFE at the time.
Also played his wife, Priscilla Presley, in the 1979 John Carpenter film 'Elvis'.
I never knew that
That’s neat.
ANOTHER FUN FACT: The Crazy that Snake shoots and kills through the blocked window at 1:32 - 1:34 is (according to the 1981 movie novelization by Mike McQuay) suppose to be the long-lost son of Police Commissioner, Bob Hauk (Lee Van Cleef). That's the "other deal" that Hauk is referring to at the end of EFNY when he and Snake are making final small-talk - the finding and extracting of the son out of the prison. Sadly though, the mission, had it been carried out, would've been a complete exercise in futility since, unbeknownst to Hauk, his son was already dead, and, unbeknownst to Snake, he was the one who inadvertently pulled the trigger on him thinking he was just another blood-thirsty New York Crazy.
Snake sees that the crazy had 'H-A-U-K' tattooed on his knuckles, right? Been a while since I read the novel.
@@FrankNFurter1000 Exactly.
Notice how at 1:37 you can clearly see Russel’s other eye under his patch 😂
nice observation
Snake Plissken = best hero in all of fiction
or Big Boss
pipboy344
Big Boss isn't a hero if you think about it
+Mr. Red 88 Neither is Snake...
Snake is an anti-hero
***** Snake Plissken is an anti hero. If you think about it, he only does good because it also screws over the government that made him who he is. He still has a sense of humanity but when you think about it, the man would probably sell you down the road for a pack of cigarettes
2:03 Snake? What happened? Why won't you answer? SNAKE? SNAAAAAKE!
Really feel bad about the woman, don't wanna know how she died down there.
This was typical of the story. All his allies kept dying off one by one throughout the course of the plot. It was so dreary and depressing, watching this as a kid in the early 80s.
It was implied in the film that the Crazies were cannibals, so... you figure it out.
44excalibur 🤔so Democrats... wow she definitely died a horrible way!
@@44excalibur Democrats too.
@@talented1617 Hahaha geek
Snake has a MAC-10 machine pistol with suppressor, which carries either .45 ACP (11.43x23mm) or 9×19mm Parabellum with a 30-round detachable box magazine (.45 ACP) or a 32-round detachable box magazine (9×19mm), and fires at a rate of 1,090 rounds/min. (.45 ACP) or 1,250 rounds/min. (9mm).
This is the 80s so he's got unlimited ammunition and his bullets are made of depleted uranium.
I love how he spends like 30 rounds to shoot a hole through the half inch thick dry wall... :)
SweGunner71 yeah really he could have just kicked, punched, or just ran through it.
they should've used a better sound effect
That was lath and plaster
Or he shooting a dudes hand off
In hindsight, he didn't know how thick the wall was. Plus, Mythbusters shown this sort of thing is Hollywood magic.....well. Shooting a big round hole in the floor with twin full-auto Beretta's and expecting to fall through.
In reality, there would be a stud in the wall, electrical wiring/plumbing pipes, and TWO sheets of drywall - one on each side.
In retrospect, I'm surprised Snake wasn't equipped with a flashlight (or a weapon-mounted light/flashlight mounted to the suppressor shroud). They already mounted a rifle scope to the suppressor shroud; it wouldn't take much more effort to do likewise to a mini- flashlight.
The closest thing we'll probably get to Solid Snake on the big screen.
+AdmiralFlynn895 And Solid Snake is the closest we will get to a Snake Plissken videogame.
#FucKonami
I thought they were the same character lol. Or at least intended to be, just a few minor details changed.
Solid Snake is supposedly a carbon copy of Snake Plisken. Obviously not all the looks, but mostly. And they both act the same. It's been proven.
AdmiralFlynn895 I think the director of Kong Skull Island is working on a Metal Gear Solid movie.
What makes this especially scary is the fact the crazies make absolutely no sound whatsoever, just silent mindless hungry killers. The music in the background adds so much anxiety too
Yeah this is what really unsettled me on my first watch of the film. No grunting or anything, just silence and the soundtrack is perfect.
Well it's obvious where kojima got his inspiration
Yeah I definitely see the resemblance between mgs and this. Lots of inspiration from a legendary film to a legendary game
At 1:37, you could see Snake's left eye under his patch. I guess he didn't lose his eye; rather, he might have just lost his vision in it
He didn't lose a eye it was damaged in the war and he wears eye patch because the air and light makes it worse..
Yup, he is just kinda blinded on the eye, so nothing is lost. Except for his eyesight.
Cesare Augusto well it’s a prop eye patch. Kurt would’ve lost a lot o depth perception of he didn’t have a faux one.
I'm all for geeking out on fan theories but I think that was just a flub.
One of my favorite John Carpenter movies. Scream factory hopefully will give us a Escape from L.A. collector edition one day with a tone of special features.
Shout Factory did finally release Escape from LA on Blu Ray but sadly it didn't have that much in regards to special features. It was still better than the bare bones Paramount release though and the video quality is damn good considering it's a 4K scan from the original negative. It's worth owning all the same.
This clip ended at the best part. Im 50 now but when I was 10 yrs old at the theater watching Ms Poppins or something lol i told my mom I was going to bathroom but I sneaked in To watch 5 minutes of this movies thought this was the coolest movie in existence., I finally saw all of it a several years later .
Cool story! I first saw a bit of it at Grindhouse Killer Burgers when I was in the fifth grade. I saw the wrestling scene, and I didn’t end up seeing the whole thing until just around a few months ago.
He should have been outfitted with a high-tech Samurai sword. Hacked his way through the crowd.
With a bulletproof vest and a SOCOM pistol?
@@alejandrobonilla3049 and a bandana. Need that infinite ammo.
Snake was the Duke of New York.......he was A # 1!
This is not Solid Snake . This is BIG BOSS.
The name's Plissken!
my god carpenter is the master of suspense!
Awesome movie unfortunately New York is actually becoming just like this movie
Snake on the Run or as I like to call it the whole damn movie
RIP Harry Dean Stanton
Hollywood should go back to filmmaking like this instead of all child friendly shit of today.
This isn't Hollywood per se. John Carpenter has always been about doing his own thing and this film is anything but Hollywood style. Same with They Live and Big Trouble in Little China.
Man, I kinda wish the crazies got some more screen time.
I really love villians that are like like them.
I don't know if you have already, but I would totally recommend getting ahold of the Escape from New York novelisation. It fleshes out the crazies and where they came from. Pretty cool. But then, and I think John Carpenter was masterful to do this, the fact that we know so little about them (let alone see so little of them in terms of screen time and lighting) makes them all the more terrifying.
They're Night Raider , Every month they run outta food because many of these inmates had long ago resorted to cannibalism because I've watched this scene on TV back in 1984 which shows a large number of inmates rising up from the sewers then scattering onto the streets looking for human host when they've came upon Snake & a young woman jammed up inside an abandoned Coffee Shop when some of them grabbed the woman leaving Snake to run for his life .
1:36 kurt's left eye is uncovered
I can't believe it. The scene where the crazies grab Season Hubley. I guess, if you are crazies material, you become a crazy yourself. Otherwise, they eat you. An overlooked subtlety in this film is that Cabbie (Ernest Borgnine, he of the stainless steel smile) was not a prisoner. Rather, he was so habituated to New York and his role as a cabbie that he simply stayed behind when the island was converted to a prison. I think, also, that Duke of New York (Issac Hayes) did not really run the place, but rather was allowed his pretensions and petty power by the people who did, probably real gangsters who were doing life. As dystopian as the story was, it wasn't dystopian enough. Those imprisoned there who had real power could have spread their tentacles around enough to have whom they wanted sent there. More women. Or the necessary servile types. The ones we saw were the ones on the periphery. The Duke and his followers. The crazies. The free lance survivors.
My idea about science fiction is that it can only be about the time in which it was created. Escape from New York has a lot to say about American urban society in the dissipated, brutal era of the 1970's and early 1980's.
What weighs on me is how long ago this was. Borgnine is dead. Hayes is. Kurt Russell is a senior citizen. The good news is, Season Hubley is only three years younger than I am. Does that mean I still have a chance? Yes, it means I have a chance!
Looking back, the US, especially NYC was an awful and brutal place starting in the late 60s thru the late 80s. Without getting too political Guilani doesn't get enough credit. To hear the citizens cry about "stop and frisk" was heartbreaking. They seem to have short memories. Again, not to get too political Donald Trump invested much into NYC during this time betting it would come back. He bet correctly. Many businesses left the city during this time. Not enough research or discussion has been done about to be honest. I think its an avoided topic because some of the causes will offend people.
Your comment about Cabbie is dead-on. However, the part about the crazies is misleading. The subways in New York require constant pumping in order to prevent the Hudson River from flooding in; after the city was converted into a prison,the subways would have been flooded almost instantly.
I think that the NLFA had sent in operatives, in the form of criminals, into the prison long before the planned hijacking, to inform the prison population about what to expect. That is the only way the prisoners could have gotten to the President so soon.
The entire city of New York was converted into a prison and everyone - criminals and citizens alike - were locked in. Cabbie must have a deal with Brain or The Duke to have enough gas and spares to run his cab.
The Duke was a major player because he had access to gasoline and cars thanks to Brain. There really isn't a "duke" of New York City because it's too big. However, The Duke is the guy you have to deal with if you want to do anything. He is powerful because a) they believe he has power, b) he has demonstrated his power over others using credible threats, and c) because he has control of goods and services in the prison. His acquisition of the President gives him prestige over other gang leaders because it makes him the dealmaker.
He doesn't seem to have enough power to eradicate the cannibal Crazies in the sewers or directly control gangs like the "Indian"-theme gang that crashes Snake's glider.
@Potwheelz No, it's an inference. There is a lot that was not shown, presuming you accept the premise. There had to be some mafiosi in there. They're not going mope, they're going to do business as usual. You don't know much, do you?
But, hey, it was just a movie. Grad some popcorn and have a good time. I suggest "Red Dawn" as the other half of the double feature.
The hands that grab for the woman when she falls through the floor look like those of the ghosts that come through the windows of the church in Carpenter's THE FOG.
President of what?
the original snake! but better written and with faster pacing
I could imagine the hell it must have been to restore this film, Escape From New York was already a really grainy film, not to mention sometimes it's audio sounds wonky.
the floor people you dont need at all
Snake plissken is so badass, unfortunately he's just a movie character
Escape From New York went from Dystopian Horror scifi to documentary
April 2, 2021----Thanks for the video clip. Got curious about the weapon Kurt Russell was using. Found out it's a MAC-10 and it comes in .45 or 9mm calibers. It was also designed with a suppressor from the get go and not some Hollyweird add on thought.
I send in a man like Snake Plisken to do a job, I sure am not going to give him some plastic, easily breakable radio. lol
Solid snake
The girl in the coffee ship (Season Hubely) was Mrs, Russell at the time.
Snake must have run through a theatre company with Styrofoam walls and balsa wood doors.
They snatched Snake's girlfriend. Bastards!
That was Kurt Russell's ex wife
Don't worry, Snake's go a better looking bodacious woman today.
Gotta play metal gear now!!!
1:36 Kurt Russell had his eyepatch a bit too high and you can see his eyeball.
Interesting how things goes around in a circle in life. That dystopian otherworldly New York is just beyond the horizon....closing in fast!
Alright Snake's gonnna get himself some---oh. Nvm.
MISSION FAILED BOSS! Boss come in? Boss?! BOOOOOSSS!!!!
That uzi sound effect is so cool
1:37, a goof I never noticed until now. You can actually see Snake's eye because the eye patch does not completely cover it.
Tbf you can be blind even if you have your eyes.
@@angelrosas3724 True. As explained in another post, Snake has both eyes, he uses an eye patch because of nerve damage etc. He could even see out of his bad eye. It's just that it lets in too much light which hurts him. I would imagine his eye is similar to Max's eye in Beyond Thunderdome (permanently dilated).
2:40 driving a tank in WWII
end-up driving a cab
oh well
I got my copy on blu ray
Kept you waiting. Huh?
He is climbing in then out then in then out ...Ha ha this is funny
1:39 new door
Kurt Rusell muy lindo el peinado se lo ve genial
and now, for a brief zombie movie scene
Great movie 🎥
He has a full Auto Mac 10 submachine gun and he had spare mags.....I think he would have just waited in the dark alley and mowed them all down?
Wanna have a conversation about it? He was given three mags in the beginning and fired one already (hand scene and wall breakthrough), so there are only two mags left. Maybe if he switched to semi he could have gotten some, but firing in the dark with only one intact eye? That's crazy.
On top of that, if I remember correctly, the scene before he takes refuge in the coffee shop (I guess that's what it is) shows almost hundreds of these people roaming all throughout the streets.
I'm fairly sure the longer he stayed in one place the more overwhelmed he would've been as it's not very hard to believe that the rest of the crazies could pinpoint where all the commotion is coming from.
@Potwheelz lol yeah that too
Glad He Never Got Caught.
Did he really have to shoot through that wallpaper, though?
Yes, because he ran into a dead end, and it was cool as hell.
this film is dark AF
I feel like climbing ladders now
Escape from John Torys Toronto!
OMG I NEVER KNEW
Using a gun to create a "hole" in the wall to jump through is a cool idea but I really wish they executed it here better 1:37 I mean, Snake is basically just jumping through paper here. He didn't need to waste the bullets.
Guys imagine that your father and mother have the same mind as yours and can get you entirely like only you can, forgetting abut your parents and past for a moment
There doesn't seem to be a translate option for this comment.
What about Escape from L. A. ? are y'all going to make a Blu Ray of it?
Because it bombed at the boxoffice and it was lousy....didn't come close to New york ....too many jokes and the FX was terrible for 1996...
Bigboss
Kurt fuckin' Russell in his prime.
.
*Ovaries explode*
.
I honestly thought that was a young Jane Lynch at first.
A young Jane Lynch gets killed in 2002's Collateral Damage if you're interested.
Why does he has scope on a submachine gun lol.
0:45 Such a shame, she was hot they're going to have some barbecue tonight 🐄😵😲😱😳
Basically, that is the Capitol Hill neighborhood in Seattle when it was CHAZ/CHOP.
I have fired a MAC-10 and yes, they are bullet hoses. Wildly inaccurate but bullet hoses nonetheless...
That’s why they were called street sweepers
Yeah I agree. I fired a full auto MP5k that was suppressed and that sucker was hard as hell to hit a target. Still a great weapon but likes to kick up.
Looks like B.Mom from MGS IV.
Seriously that was his wife wow ok.
This is now Chaz city !!!🤣
The president of what? Get a new president
Lekwed.
Jessup Triplett LEEEEEKWEEEEEEED!!!!!!!!!
Snek.
Left 4 Dead
This movie would give SJW's a heart attack.
For which reasons? The president in this movie is based on Thatcherism/Reagonomics. Carpenter is also openly anti authoritarian. The world Escape From New York depicts is American right wing dystopia at its finest.
You must not know many SJW's, what you call an SJW is what in this film is represented by the punks living in New York. Carpenter even said his inspiration was seeing the conflict between left wingers and right wingers balloon into this dystopian future. The right wingers went full fascist and run the government as Nazis would, the left wingers went full activist and became terrorists and criminals. You might be surprised but most SJW's do like this movie. I am not one but I know many due to where I live geographically and they love watching all Carpenter films, but especially this one and they live.
Lol xD 1:32
what, the hand?
Yeah
I tell you more at 1:38 you can see his eye
Chock Full O’ Nuts…
Escape from Jew York
This is the worst movie I’ve ever seen
If so what's the best you seen??? Howard the Duck??? opinions vary
The best movie he's ever seen is Frozen.
I think you need to see some more movies, Mike.
Gay
XpectNoMercy yo come on, this movie isn’t good.
