The cool thing is that that green computer generated image of the city that you can see from the glider is not actually computer-generated! They built a model of New York City and lined it all with fluorescent tape and then put it in a dark room with a ultraviolet light. Cheaper and faster than using a computer back then!
People take Kurt Russell being a tough action star for granted now, but when this movie came out, he still had his good-guy Disney actor image. This was the movie that really surprised people and changed all that. And it gave him a whole new career in action movies. 10:40 -- This actress (Season Hubley) was married to Kurt Russell at the time. 11:50 -- This actress (Adrienne Barbeau) was married to John Carpenter at the time.
Little known fact about John Carpenter: a bit like Jimmy Hendrix he never learned how to read or write sheet-music, but formed his own style of songwriting. It's totally unique. I actually have a copy of one of his original pieces, which I can provide a few verses from as a sample below to both elucidate and inspire others in your audience so that they may never feel held back by their limitations. It reads: "Beepboopboop beepboopboop beepboop BUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMMM merrrrnnnnnnn wowwwowwwwwww... Beepboopboop beepboopboop beepboop WaahnoowwwwwwwwwwwWWWWWWwwwww Krunnnnnnnnnnnnnn... Ding... Ding... Dong.... GOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGG! Beepboopboop beepboopboop beepboop." Truly a genius. I can hardly do it justice, and honestly do like it. I really hit the jackpot when I robbed that flea market.
This is one of my fav movies. Everyone is so afraid to go to New York. Plissken just be takin a stroll lol. I always love ur enthusiasm and that bad guy was totally elavil Billy Idol hahaha.
Most soldiers (and police) are trained to operate in squads. Even special forces don't have lone operations. While Snake is a good fighter, his fumbling around is not unexpected or unusual.
Ryan Jacobson ...He's not taking it easy, he's being overly cautious. Snake is used to moving in a squad. A lone wolf makes sense in video games, but not real life. I'm not judging Snake here. All I'm doing is explaining why it seems he is out of his element.
Just subscribed. Saw this at the theater in 81. The two girls I was with were trying to convince me to see Rocky Horror Pitcure Show, but I talked them into this instead. They thanked me afterwards.
Holy s**t, that's Lee Van Cleef?!!! Back then, I didn't know who he was, but I sure do now!! Ditto Issac Hayes, Adrienne Barbeau and even Harry Dean Stanton, I only knew him by sight, not by name. Now I love all those guys! That's way cool! This is my favorite line, I was thinking something like it right before you said it: "John Carpenter, I need some more synthesizer baby!" Ha! This music sounds similar to the score of "The Thing". Which makes sense, it's the same time period. Damn, I'm really enjoying this movie, this is going on my re-watch list, I haven't seen it since the 80s! This was a blast and a half, thanks! Kurt friggin' Russell! :P
You know so much about the period and every character actor, how is it possible you haven't seen these movies? Not that I care, I appreciate the little details you bring to each movie.
Damn good flick! One of my favorite Carpenter movies! The sequel isn't as good. If all you want is more Snake, you'll get it, and I personally enjoy it for that. Otherwise it gets pretty dumb.
Since you like this one so much you definitely must do the fourth and last of his so-called four apocalyptic films of the 80s called "Prince of Darkness" (1987). Like the other three of these four you've already done, there are actors from those in this one. A real freaky Carpenter flick for sure! Enjoyed your reactions on those and I'm sure you'll like Prince of Darkness. ✌️😎
1. British president? NOT 2. Escape from LA isn't half as good as this. 3. Spoiler alert: Everyone that says, "I heard you were dead" dies. You: "Evil Billy Idol" goodbye beer via nose!

Yes ma'am that is correct
The weather man from The Fog. The actors name is Charles Cyphers.
the 80s were some of the best years in film toons and music

Atmosphere / feel, cast, story / writing, script, wardrobe / props, soundtrack...perfection. Love this fucking film.
“He’s in P. Diddy’s neighborhood we gotta go get him.”
😭😭😭
lol
Wow...this brought back memories! Great review! Reminds me of1979 Warriors a little bit. That movie was so on point for the time!
Popcorn, you are becoming one of my favorite movie reactioners
thank you !
Easily
You mentioned Tom Atkins!!!! A fucking legend in Night of the Creeps!!!😀😀😀
oh yes
They seriously need to finish off this series
Ghosts of Mars was suppose to be the third movie of the trilogy but Kurt Russell wasn't available and the title would have been Escape from Mars.
Plan A: Snake Plissken
Plan B: Snake Fucking Plissken
Plan C: Snake mother fucking Plissken
Awesome movie I saw at the theater several times like all of Carpenter films thanks for reacting to these classics!
Hope you enjoyed it!

I always figured he took it easy to avoid looking suspicious.

I bet they did
The warden Hauk is actor Lee Van Cleef. He has been in many westerns and is almost as cool as Clint Eastwood.
Speaking of Isaac Hayes movies: Truck Turner, also starring Yaphet Koto, Nichelle Nichols, Scatman Crothers, and Dick Miller. Amazing film.
That's a classic
Describing that one guy as, Evil Billy Idol, cracked me up. LOL
lol
Thank you for watching and hope you enjoy! wanted to share it with you guys on TH-cam

I saw this theatrically as a 13 year old and have been a diehard fan of Kurt Russell since

Kurt Russell is the absolute man. If you want something more recent of his, check out Bone Tomahawk.
This!! I can not recommend this movie enough. So underrated
This film, The Fog and The Thing are my favourite Carpenter films. All time classics.
Great reaction! They don’t make movies like these awesome 80’s movies anymore unfortunately. Nor do they make Crystal Pepsi 😆
Love Kurt Russell.....

The evil Billy Idol, lol

Another awesome reaction man. You should check out Assault on Precinct 13, another great JC movie!

In the Mouth of Madness (1995) director John Carpenter
I like the movies you choose. First time watching this one. I was an 80s kid.
