- In the year 2013, the city of Los Angeles has been separated from the country by a series of earthquakes, and like its neighbor New York, has transformed from a wonderful city to a corrupted prison. Plus, The United States has become a more moral society. Cuervo, a Cuban terrorist has used the president's daughter, Utopia to steal a device that controls a special orbiting EMP weapon system. The President has called upon the untrustworthy mercenary Snake Plissken. To ensure his cooperation, they have implanted a virus bomb inside his body, and it will inject the virus into his body in 9 hours, so Snake must stop Cuervo, rescue Utopia and get back the Weapon's device.
- The year is 2013 and Snake Plissken is back but this time it's L.A., which through the agency of earthquakes has become an island of the damned. But something has gone wrong in this new moral order, because the President's daughter has absconded to L.A. with a detonation device, and Snake is commandeered to retrieve it. But just below the surface there is a coiled Snake ready to strike.
- This movie was just bad, plain and simple. At first, I thought maybe this movie would have been OK as long as you were unfamiliar with the FAR superior original. But now, I just know it was a bad movie. And we waited a decade and a half for it?<br/><br/>Much of the plot is rehashed from the first. OK. I can't hold that against the movie. Most sequels have a lot of rehashing. But it how ridiculous the minor changes were. Here is a great example of just how bad this movie is compared to the first.<br/><br/>In the original. Snake and the big bald guy are fighting to the death in the abandoned Theater of Madison Square Garden boxing ring. Baseball bats with nails on the end, and only garbage can lids for protection. Great scene.<br/><br/>Now flash forward to LA. No Madison Square garden. No arena even. They go to a stadium and for some reason there is an outdoor basketball court set up? And instead of a fight to the death, Snake is forced to take a BASKETBALL CHALLENGE?<br/><br/>What the hell? For the life of me, I cannot even begin to understand what the writers were thinking. The death fight scene in Escape from NY fit so well with the movie. And it was believable all around. But we are supposed to believe that this evil Cuervo gets his kicks watching people shoot LAYUPS before being gunned down in a hail of bullets? Ooooh! Big tough guy Cuervo! He forced his victims to participate in an NBA's All Star Saturday-style competition. Or maybe he grew up watching the Jeep Superstars. Either way, it was just plain silly, out of place, and TOTALLY unbelievable. And Snake making the half court shot followed by an 80 foot heave just made it worse.<br/><br/>Don't waste your time. Rent the first one. Better plot. Better stars. (Georges Corraface vs Isaac Hayes? No contest. Pam Grier vs Adrienne Barbeau? Same thing.) Better city. Better ending. Better everything.
- Whenever anyone makes a decent Sci-Fi thriller, why do they have to go and spoil it by bringing out a mediocre sequel that ruins the franchise. Like the Matrix, admittedly a good film, why did the Wachowski brothers then make two pretentious, pointless and rather crap sequels just to create a franchise with its own "universe." Why did Christopher Lambert make FOUR Highlander movies when the guiding principle was: "there can be only one." So what on earth possessed Carpenter/Russell to ruin one of their finest collaborations by making "Escape from L.A" For a start, why have another US action film set in L.A? it's such a cliche! couldn't they have have picked a more unusual location in the US or (gasp!) the rest of the world? Hell, why not just make up a city/fortress/dictatorship for Snake to go into, it is the post-apocalyptic future after all! But what really bothers me is not the title, I can live with that. I can even grudgingly put up with the fact that the entire movie is just a lets-change-the-names-and-faces remake of the original. No, what really upsets me are the stupid, stupid, really REALLY STUPID STUNTS AND SFX!!! The earthquake at the beginning? when does a building crack in half so...unbelievably? why not just use a model if the cgi is that bad? and the surfing!!! I mean that was just so awful! why have that in at all? it had no relevance to the plot and looked...well I'll leave you to make your own mind up about that but personally I give kudos to any director who has the gall to shamelessly whore off such bad special effect sequences to a cinema audience and expect to be taken seriously! But to be fair, a film is only as good as its story and I have to admit the story does play its part in dragging the film down. The year is 2013 (that lucky number) and Los Angeles has been separated from the mainland by a huge earthquake (see above for details) hence it has become a dumping ground for America's social undesirables: the elderly, tax-dodgers, welfare recipients, students, immigrants, and of course BADDIES! and no baddie is as bad as Cuervo Jones (I leave that statement open to interpretation) who's antics in teletubbie land brainwash the President's daughter, Utopia (second only to 'Exotica' for stupidest female prenom) and causes her to perfidiously steal a black box containing a "terrible secret". Loving father that he is, the President orders his men to kill his daughter and retrieve the black box. They fail miserably, so it is left to Snake Plissken, recently caught (if Snake is so cool why can't he do anything without getting caught?) to do the dirty deed. Yet before he is given a chance for Deja Vu to set in, he is informed that he has already been poisoned. So, unless he accomplishes his mission and kills Che Guevera, Ooops! I mean Cuervo Jones, he'll die in nine hours. Anyway, the rest I leave for you to find out, or not find out as the case may be. Watch out for that surf scene though! 5/10
- Loud, rollicking, alternately ultra-violent and hilarious, Escape from L.A. is Snake redux, and what more do you need, really?
- Director John Carpenter commented just before the release of Escape From L.A. (1996) that IF this movie was successful then he would consider a third movie and that the only place left for Snake to escape from would be Earth. "Escape From Earth" was just an idea - Carpenter never even gave that title, it's just something people assumed it would be called.<br/><br/>Escape From L.A. evidentley was not a commercial success and so the idea of a third movie went no further than Carpenter's comment. Depends on your point of view. Snake's decision is to essentially turn Earth's history back to the Victorian era, pre-electricity, where a man like him would flourish as a self-reliant gunfighter and despeardo. On the other hand it's suggested that humankind has deteriorated into tyranny so he essentially tears a corrupt society down and replaces it with a more egalitarian society 'Cabin in the Woods' style instead. a5c7b9f00b
