Assault on Precinct 13 - 1976 - Full Movie

My mother and I watched all these John Carpenter films together. She also took me to see Alien when I was 11. What a great mom. I miss her.

Brilliant film this. I saw it the first time around 1976 and have watched it many many times since. The music makes it. Always seem to go back to this film and all John Carpenter horror films.Lots of fast action which I like.😀👍👌

[@johncella7931]

I am in complete agreement with you about the music. I've had it in my memory since '76.

[@garymeacham7353]

the music was composed by john carpenter hinself

[@jimjohnston526]

The remake completely missed the spirit of the original.

[@michaeltousignant3235]

I get what you're saying but this movie was not a " Remake" of the film Rio Bravo. John Carpenter drew some inspiration and concepts from Rio Bravo but definitely not a remake if that's what you thought Assault On Precinct 13 is! But both are great movies! I always say watch Rio Bravo first and then Assault On Precinct 13!

This film together with the music is awesome. What an artwork.

[@fancypants2007]

Some trivia from IMDB: 1) Shot in only 20 days. 2) Budget $150,000 (estimated) 3) The precinct's new address, 1977 Ellendale Place (written on a sign erected in front of the building), was director John Carpenter's real address when he first lived in Los Angeles. 4) Darwin Joston was John Carpenter's next-door neighbor at the time of filming. 5) John Carpenter wrote this film as a highly stylized, modern-day western, essentially remaking Rio Bravo (1959), which was directed by Carpenter's hero, Howard Hawks. 6) Leigh's name is an in-joke reference to Rio Bravo scribe Leigh Brackett. Wilson always asking for a smoke is a running gag inspired by the cigarette gags in Howard Hawks westerns. 7) John Carpenter was the film's editor, but he is credited under the pseudonym John T. Chance, which was the name of John Wayne's character in Rio Bravo. 8) The station house is referred to as "Precinct 9, Division 13", yet the sign above the door reads "Division 14". 9) For its running time length, the film does not have a lot of scenes, and that was intentional on John Carpenter's part. In order to both maximize the very limited budget that had been allocated for production, and to preserve editing choices inside the main story's focus, Carpenter wrote every scene to run as long as he could (within the bounds of still making sense) and filmed them to take up even more time on film than they did on the page.

[@artsylowtekk2502]

do you have anny knowledge on the main theme song? it has been quite influencal to me.

[@aidanlynn]

@@artsylowtekk2502If you listen really closely, the main theme is a rip off of immigrant song by led zeppelin.

[@top-ten.music_and_more]

John Carpenter was shot in this film. He had a cameo as a gang member that tried to get into the station :-)

Fantastic movie. Thanks for the upload

[@stefansattele4148]

Damn that is a masterpiece! I love the raw, unrefined feel to it while, if you look close enough, every scene was perfectly composed. Not many movies like this are made today. Simple. straigth forward and yet it leaves enough for your imagination to immerse yourself.

[@kareemmohammed5270]

great acting from all cast, love the background music soundtrack was very dark and edgy. loved the 1976 look from all the cast, cars and gun sounds.

[@nickandmikec]

A very entertaining movie. Some of the actors were also in John Carpenter's film, "The Fog."

[@b-ryemendez8335]

And in Halloween 🎃, Carpenter likes to work with the same actors, Kurt Russell did a few films with him. His films all feel like an anthology of stories with the same cast playing different characters.

The blonde guy in back seat of black car was in Escape from New York. Impossible to remake this. Excellent film. Much better than Halloween. I don't know how I missed this when it came out. Carpenter really did a fine job with this. Three of his other films i thought outstanding are They Live, Escape from NY, and The Thing. Oh yes, Village of the Damned was quite good. Loved the kids.

[@davidstevenson9517]

Thank you, Rerunners, I re-ally ap-preciate you p-posting this classic movies. You avatar reminds me of the character, "Cookie", is a USAAF bomber crewman suffering from a PTSD induced stammer; from the classic 1952 war-prisoner drama, "Stalag 17" (starring William Holden and Peter Graves, based on a play). It's a drama set in WWII German prisoner-of-war camp barracks, with an informant giving away all the USAAF sergents carefully laid escape plans. A high tension "whodunnit" movie; with "Cookie" giving the movie audience the inside gen as the story develops. Any chance, Rerunner, you could post that classic movie?

If I saw "Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City" director and writer Johannes Roberts had huge fan of John Carpenter movies are AoP 13, The Fog and The Thing. But Roberts are different story and film adaptation taking element from the video games including RE1/2, Resident: Code Veronica and Chronicles HD (PS3). If make crushed disappointment of RE films
