Escape From New York (1981) Full Length Reaction

I don't give a fuck about your war... or your President.

Snake Plissken in the house! This past weekend my Dad brought this movie up out of nowhere and said it's one of his favs, so it's cool to be checking it out this week. Very cool premise, a super renegade Kurt Russell, and a killer synth-y score by John Carpenter. Is the sequel any good?

Escape From New York (1981) Full Length Reaction

Comments

In 1981 the year this movie was released, I graduated high school (turned 18). Me and high school friensds watched several times. We had access to a VHS player (huge and expensive back then). As mentioned in comments above, the President is the psychologist from Halloween (1978). Skip the sequel Escape from L.A. (1996).

I don't usually watch reaction videos more than once, but the subtitles on this one identified a "Snake Biscuit" at least once so......I may just watch solely for that again.

"Is there a sequel to this?" Nope. That was just a rumor. Urban legend.

Kurt Russell has been part of some great movies including his first ever role when he was just a kid he got to play alongside Elvis in one of his movies, but for me it's his own portrayal of Elvis in John Capenter's bio pic ELVIS THE MOVIE (1979) it's still my favourite movie of Elvis's life story.

Yes you need to watch Air Force One. No you don’t need to see the sequel to this. So ends the lesson.

I would agree but its still fairly bad lol.

I dont think anybody has mentioned, but Kurt Russell was a child actor for Disney and made a bunch of movies, then he played one of his most iconic roles (in my opinion): Elvis Presley is John Carpenter's the Elvis TV movie. Thats what made Carpenter want to cast him as Snake, even though the studio wanted more recognizible actors and they didnt think he would make a good antihero, and they were totally wrong πŸ˜†πŸ€“

The sequel was mind numbingly awful at the time of release..but watched it again a few years back and its very entertaining camp if you watch it that way.
