  25. [..YouTube..] the best John Carpenter movie just behind halloween

  26. [..YouTube..] Great movie. This is definitely in my top 5 favorites of John Carpenter’s films. My top 5 would be: Halloween, The Thing, The Fog, Escape from New York, and Prince of Darkness….in that order.

  27. [..YouTube..] love this movie and escape from l atop ten movies ever

  28. [..YouTube..] Why remake this great movie?

  29. [..YouTube..] Great movie!

  30. [..YouTube..] My top five would be (in order): Big Trouble in Little China, Escape from New York, The Thing, Halloween, and The Fog

  31. [..YouTube..] If they remake this with that dude from 300 or anybody, i just might not see another movie ever again! I heard that they want to remake this and the thing, why WHY!!! Stop remaking Capenter movies!

  32. [..YouTube..] they should just get kurt russell and make a sequel.. escape from the world..

  33. [..YouTube..] THERE WAS a sequel. Escape from L.A. Kurt Russel was in it and it sucked.

  34. [..YouTube..] Love the scene when he lands the plane on top of the W.T.C

  35. [..YouTube..] My favorite Carpenter movies are:#1 Assault on Precinct 13 (1976)#2 Escape from New York#3 The Thing#4 Christine#5 The Fog

  36. [..YouTube..] Or how about: The Return to Cleveland… Well, I like the concept, but it doesn’t sound like so snappy a title once I’ve written it down :P

  37. [..YouTube..] Nice. It’s a good trailer for it’s age, nicely edited and all that, but they kinda missed the key plot point that it’s the US President he’s gotta rescue.

  38. [..YouTube..] Great movie,love the music.I just read somewhere that Jamie Lee Curtis does the narration at the beginning.Never realised but obvious now,duh!!

  39. [..YouTube..] Great movie,love the music.I just read somewhere that Jamie Lee Curtis does the narration at the beginning.Never realised but obvious now,duh!!

  40. [..YouTube..] i agree so much man, no remake can capture the greatness, the atmosphere of this film..

  41. [..YouTube..] The best poker Coupon Code I´ve found in the last couple of months is definitely NOLUCK for CDPoker com! I got an extra $ 600 for my first deposit! Poker is so much more enjoyable these days, there´s basically no risk!

  42. [..YouTube..] CHE SPETTACOLO….

  43. [..YouTube..] carpenter is the man when it comes to this type of movie

  44. [..YouTube..] this movie never gets old i hope the plans for a remake go under. it dont need to be remade

  45. [..YouTube..] damn right. if they try to do a remake itll turn crap

  46. [..YouTube..] they change the size of the snake? and these were intended to be “B” movies only liked this one the other one was alright. but not as cool it more like a big joke not in a bad way though!

  47. [..YouTube..] 1997! lol why do they always set sci-fi movies too close to the present day?

  48. [..YouTube..] if any of you dont like escape from new york or escpae from L.A. then you SUCKseriously those have to be on my top ten list for oldie movies.yeah, rock on kurt russel!

  49. [..YouTube..] Too bad they didn’t have Darwin Joston in this, he was fuckin badass in Assault On Precinct 13 (1976)

  50. [..YouTube..] lol they said john carpenter excape from new york like freakin 3 times

  51. [..YouTube..] I’m checkin’ up wikipedia and I type Cloverfield and from what I read it seems Escape from New York is related or inspired Cloverfield which is interesting. But still this movie is awesome.

  52. [..YouTube..] The best movie ever. My all time favorite action of all time.

  53. [..YouTube..] I must have missed it… I never knew that back in 97, New York was a walled maximum security prison….. wow, where the fuck have i been all these years….. lol, i’m j/k. I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!! And escape from L.A., but i liked this one better

  54. [..YouTube..] Did you know, this was the original Cloverfield

  55. [..YouTube..] not really jj abrams just said it was a big influence in his life

  56. [..YouTube..] Oh…I should of read the full headline before jumping to conclusions

  57. [..YouTube..] it’s the same story as escabe from LA not very creative

  58. [..YouTube..] The perfect low budget movie. A classic…

  59. [..YouTube..] I remember 1997 in New York and it WAS HARSH!

  60. [..YouTube..] I think it’s funny when Snake shoots a circle in the wall, then jumps through what is clearly cardboard. Really though, this is one of the first films I remember seeing as a Kid. Great stuff.

  61. [..YouTube..] I remember watching this movie as a kid and thinking it was sooo cool. I thought New York must be some kinda f’n hell hole or somethin, lol . . .

  62. [..YouTube..] Such an awesome movie I still love it to date great plot, action, cast and lots of other aspects.

  63. [..YouTube..] IT’S ABOUT TO BLOW THE FUTURE APART

  64. [..YouTube..] Thanks for the comments. EFNY is an awesome sci-fi action thriller and very influential. I think it’s awesome and love the special edition DVD. Keep up the comments and enjoy

  65. [..YouTube..] Bad ass soundtrack and bad ass movie …. never make ‘em like this again and love my 80’s!! Only two years earlier “The Warriors” came out but this was icing on the cake for me!! Thanks!

  66. [..YouTube..] Awesome. I wanted to BE Snake Plissken when I was a kid!

  67. [..YouTube..] great movie John Carpenter is great director

  68. [..YouTube..] great movie John Carpenter is great director

  69. [..YouTube..] the old cloverfield?

  70. [..YouTube..] the old cloverfield?

  71. [..YouTube..] According to a March 12, 2007 article in Variety magazine, Gerard Butler was close to signing a deal where he would play Snake Plissken in a remake of Carpenter’s movie.[4] Neal Moritz was to produce and Ken Nolan was to write the screenplay which would combine an original story for Plissken with the story from the 1981 movie, although Carpenter has hinted that the film might be a prequel.[24]

  72. [..YouTube..] Sleeping Beauty CastleThe concept for Disneyland began one Sunday when Walt Disney was

  73. [..YouTube..] Personally I thought The warriors was very boring. Never seen Escape from New York but it does look good.

  74. [..YouTube..] Probably John Carpenter’s best film. One of Kurt Rusesell’s best characters potrayed on the screen. Crapenter’s score to this film is amazing. The sequel has only got on good thing about it: the score. A remake of this film wouldn’t really work. Stop remaking classic films from the 70’s and the 80’s.

  76. [..YouTube..] they are trying to remake this, horrible, No one could be plisskin but kurt Russel

  77. [..YouTube..] I just saw this movie and it was really interesting, proberbly one of the best dystopian future movies i’ve seen as well as one of the best anti-heroes i’ve seen on film that is “snake plissken”..acutally i start to wonder if the makers of The Game METAL GEAR copied the character of plissken because there are so many connections between snake plissken and solid snake!

  78. [..YouTube..] Kurt gonna kick drew carrey’s ass in it? If so i am all for it

  79. [..YouTube..] more like 2017!

  80. [..YouTube..] seriously wtf

  81. [..YouTube..] seriously wtf

  82. [..YouTube..] Call me Snake.

  83. [..YouTube..] -Le président a été enlevé.-Président de quoi?-Je deteste qu’on se foute de moi.This is in the french text, i dont know if this is the same thing in the original dialog

  84. [..YouTube..] yea, i saw anywhere that the charachter Revolver Ocelot is from Lee Van Cleef !

  85. [..YouTube..] gee I wonder why John Carpenter hasn’t sued Konami by now?

  86. [..YouTube..] gee I wonder why John Carpenter hasn’t sued Konami by now?

  87. [..YouTube..] Yeah, actually Kojima has already stated a while back that Solid Snake was based off of Snake Plissken(apparently Escape from NY was one of his favorite films or something).

  88. [..YouTube..] I love this movie.

  89. [..YouTube..] This movie’s a classic and was made on a $5 million dollar budget. I heard New Line Cinema wants to do a big budget remake which is completely wrong. Kurt Russell was and is the ultimate Snake Plissken even though L.A. was a bad escape.

  90. [..YouTube..] What’s the song in the trailer? It was in Beverly Hills Cop 2 now I want to know it.Thanks if someone answers it.

  91. [..YouTube..] i wish we could get to see the crazies more in this film, they’re soooo creepy!

  92. [..YouTube..] that is EXACTLY HOW I FEEL! :)

  93. [..YouTube..] he lands on world trade center

  94. [..YouTube..] John Carpenter wrote the score for this :)

  95. [..YouTube..] The song is “Duke Arrives/ Barricade” by John Carpenter.

  96. [..YouTube..] deff a classic but why not welcome a remake… they will only make asses of themselves so let em have at it… there will only ever be one snake plissken

  97. [..YouTube..] I love this film. it is a true gem.the remake will suck. the thing that sucks the most is that there is a whole generation of kids that will think the remake is the original.

  98. [..YouTube..] damn I never knew solid snake has his own movie lol

  99. [..YouTube..] damn I never knew solid snake has his own movie lol

  100. [..YouTube..] Hideo Kojima, created Metal Gear. He saw Escape from NY, and was stunned. He loves it, and used the codename Snake. It is not only Escape from NY who is inspiration for the Metal Gear saga, also Rambo and Bruce Lee movies.

  102. [..YouTube..] if they made a metal gear solid movie in the 90s they should have had Kurt Russel play him.

  103. [..YouTube..] of course. He is Snake Plissken afterall. Without him, the Metal Gear saga might not’ve been existed, or would at least been very diffirent.

  104. [..YouTube..] of course. He is Snake Plissken afterall. Without him, the Metal Gear saga might not’ve been existed, or would at least been very diffirent.

  105. [..YouTube..] Love this film. Kurt is so cool as Snake. What a supporting cast too. Plesance, Van Cleef, Borgnine, Dean Stanton and Hayes.

  106. [..YouTube..] Love this film. Kurt is so cool as Snake. What a supporting cast too. Plesance, Van Cleef, Borgnine, Dean Stanton and Hayes.

  107. [..YouTube..] Seriously man; the way Snake talks, his face design, or even the eye patch on Big Boss

  108. [..YouTube..] yeah thats what I mean.

  109. [..YouTube..] yeah thats what I mean.

  110. [..YouTube..] Wow New York was a mess in 1997. Good thing they cleaned it up now by 2008

  111. [..YouTube..] I thought he was dead?

  112. [..YouTube..] I thought he was dead?

  113. [..YouTube..] Snake was the first Rambo.

  114. [..YouTube..] Holy crap, this is almost 30 years old!

  115. [..YouTube..] Holy crap, this is almost 30 years old!

  116. [..YouTube..] Holy crap, this is almost 30 years old!

  117. [..YouTube..] Great!

  118. [..YouTube..] Does anyone one knows who the actor is that shows the Presidents finger to Hauk ? The script refers to him as Weirdo.

  119. [..YouTube..] Does anyone one knows who the actor is that shows the Presidents finger to Hauk ? The script refers to him as Weirdo.

  120. [..YouTube..] sort of, first movie rambo, but john rambo from the book first blood was around before plissken.

  136. [..YouTube..] John Carpenter should SUE. Beverly Hills Cop ripped off his score.

  137. [..YouTube..] John Carpenter should SUE. Beverly Hills Cop ripped off his score.

  138. [..YouTube..] Awesome!! :D :D

    Like mgsfan91 said, and I quote: “Hideo Kojima (creator of MG) got the inspiration of Metal Gear, thx to this great movie.” I mean, I’ve been with MGS since part 1-3, and the upcoming 4. I’ve always wanted to watched this! I saw half of it on TV once… I wanna see the whole thing!

    (Oh. And marcfigu? mgsfan91 is not the only MGS fan here. I love the series. Please give respect to us MGS fans…) Thank you very much. I appriciate it. :)

  139. [..YouTube..] Awesome!! :D :D

  140. [..YouTube..] No, Kojima based Solid Snake on Snake Plisskin, Escape From New York didn’t inspire him to make the MG series. A funny aside, at first I thought it was out of place to see the Twin Towers still standing in the movie but since this takes place in 1997, they would (technically) still be intact. Carpenter is a genius!

  142. [..YouTube..] 1997? ha ha ha Anyway, it’s funny how those 1970s and 1980’s futuristic films are becoming reality in 2008. The American economy on the brink of collapse, people fighting and stealing gasoline and oil. The US running a police state of the world. Though it looks more like a Mad Max world than this movie. But still NYC is more a less a prison and a dirty one at that.

  143. [..YouTube..] You’ll love the movie and the dark 80’s music. And MGS series is the bomb!

  144. [..YouTube..] You’ll love the movie and the dark 80’s music. And MGS series is the bomb!

  152. [..YouTube..] 80’s movies rock!, so do 90’s, most 2000+ movies suck compared to most 80’s and 90’s since they have more character and more effort was put into 80’s-90’s films. Kurt Russel’s best movie was Captain Ron! and Unlawful Entry with Ray Liotta.

  153. [..YouTube..] That’s okay Kitty, it can happen to anyone.

  154. [..YouTube..] Wow, this is so tacky.
    I was told that this was a good film so I had a look.
    I didn’t expect this.

  169. [..YouTube..] yup… Gerald Butler the guy who played King Leonidies in 300 is playing snake… apparently Kurt Russel (who played Snake in this movie and escape from la) was pissed about the new snake because he thought that Snake was all american and because Butler is not american it inferiated him more

  173. [..YouTube..] wow, how observant

  174. [..YouTube..] wow, how observant

  175. [..YouTube..] It actually is a good film. Well, if you are at all able to appreciate good cinema of all sorts and eras, and able to enjoy a well-made action movie bordering on B without meticulously looking for high art in it, with an open mind.

    This trailer kind of reminds me of those old trailers for the original Alien and the first Terminator - they tell you next to nothing about how revered the films actually became.
