2:28 Gives me the shivers everytime... God i miss the usage of 80s synthetic music

Nyc becoming like the movie more and more

THIS MUSIC STILL PLAYS LIKE A DREAM AT THEE END OF 2024 DEC 22.. MERRY CHRISTMASS ALL🌲🎅🇺🇲🫡

I found this in my local library in 1990 or 91 on VHS. It instantly became a movie my brother and friends would watch many times since then. 1997 felt like the distant future back then as we were only 12 years old back then.

Good documentary

It's crazy that it took Carpenter a while to get this movie made, if I were a movie exec and someone came in and pitched the movie with the line "New York is a prison" I would've gone "Sold! How much do you need?"

2:57 her voice kinda looks familiar....

What's better ENY or The Thing?

Only the worlds sally and duke have created....

My Dad worked secondary security on the filming of this movie on the bridge scenes towards the end of the movie.

Who's still loving this in 2024? I saw Escape when it came out at a drive-in in Memphis. It was playing with The Fog in a double feature. #Gen-XGreatTimes

The very first time I watched this movie I knew this song was good.

the Grim dark future of Snake P is awesome and final❤❤❤❤love from Australia.Clay ❤

I still remember watching this movie for the first time back in 1981.. It was at a drive in movie theater in Hometown, PA, outside of Tamaqua.. I can’t remember the name of the drive in, but it was a foggy summer night after a lot of thunderstorms earlier in the evening.. The first movie was The Howling, I think.. My dad took the family to the movies that night, and me, my brother and sister and mom were excited to have a night out! Me? I was just really stoked to see Escape From New York, because the newspaper ads looked so cool… So, the first movie ran.. Scary! And then there was intermission so folks could go to the shack in the center of the drive in lot to get some more French fries or whatever… And then… Escape From New York started.. And from the first moments - the opening credits and theme music - I was completely sucked in.. I knew this was going to be a movie that I would be thinking about long after it ended! And I will say this - over 40 years later, this movie and the music in the opening credits still haunts me.. I have watched this movie many times over the years and still enjoy it every time! It has aged well (it is not the movie’s fault that the World Trade Center was destroyed).. I have also watched the sequel Escape From LA.. Enjoyable, though a little campy at times!! I have also read many stories about the movie studios wanting to ‘re-boot’ the original Escape From New York.. And I say NO.. DON’T DO IT.. I believe that some things in this world should be left alone.. Escape From New York is one of them. It was PERFECT - AS IS.. The atmosphere, the music, the feeling one gets as they watch, the thinking one does after the movie ends.. Just sayin’…

A fascist socialist police state is a no go , when the enemy rushes in like a flood God will set 📐 up a standard..... God allows the evil of Freemasonry to destroy the wicked..... stay within your jurisdiction....

Trump is going to do this s*** with Manhattan

Trump America by 2026

One of the best flicks ever.

This is the version I've always had. I didn't even know about the one with the added piano until today lol.

Jamie Lee Curtis did the narrating

I wish P nuts and Fred could have escaped. I think “the Duke” would have treated them better.

Those graphics were cutting edge stuff at the time, probably done on an Apple II computer with 16 colors! Which when you were used to black and white text was pretty impressive.

Hump yer mom

This video reminded me of how I talked to my brother

“You’re the Duke of New York, you’re A-#1”!

ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK TO NEW YORK ( RATED R ) THE HELL STATE

I never knew I was in a video game till I started playing doom I'm the mancubus

This movie still ages well and it still has one of the best musical scores ever written.

The announcer sounds like Jamie Lee Curtis. Uncredited cameo?

The greatest prison post apocalypse movie ever

0:34 Great theme music! You picture Snake fighting whenever it plays! ❤️😎🤘💪👊

This soundtrack is awesome 👏

This film, They Live, and The Thing. Perfection.

HUMP YOUR MOOMMMM!

watched this crap 8 times today.... this is getting tedious. Just to be clear the adverts I keep getting, the MUSIC is fantastic.

Great movie 😊

1:30 brain , brain , what is brain !?

Yes it would be like major crimes in America and here in Australia

Yes it would look like in mega cities in near future and it has judges like judge dredd

They really should turn that place into a prison

I saw this movie last November, on the Birthday of my best friend ,here in Hamburg germany...movie night at a cinema!!...amazing!👍👍👍

We called him "bungeebow" cuz that's what it sounds like he says. God bless

This version when the synthesizer in the background goes full blast at the 2:27 mark is great

NO REMAKE NEEDED HERE SINCE WE ALL MAY BE LIVING OUT THE REAL THING! TERRIFYING!

Creativity is the enemy of logic

JOHN CARPENTER'S FLICK COULD BE LOOKED AT AS A FUTURE DOCUMENTARY FOR WHAT IS GOING ON IN OUR SOCIETY. CHILLING!
