It's a tragedy that this film underperformed. It was 1996, and I was a child but had I been the age I was now, I would have been so way in, and it's not a bad movie or a disappointment...BY ANY MEANS!

[@loayprettyboy206]

It's very fun movie

[@JarrettMazza]

@@loayprettyboy206 More people should have seen it. What happened in 1996? Were you there? Fill me in.

[@SH1N081]

Carpenter needs to make one more movie. Make it a trilogy!

[@Albert87nl]

Escape from USA?

[@grantmcgowan8399]

@@Albert87nl Yes.. and at some point ends up drifting in the Pacific only to end up in the wastelands of a former Australia and meets Mad Max..! Now that would be cool!

[@edwardbaumbarger160]

Escape from Wilmington.

[@davidfuller7792]

Yeah! Maybe escape from San Francisco

Thanks for this nostalgic blast from the past ;)

These "last night I hacked my friend's/girlfriend's/etc Instagram" bots are getting old. They even followed me to this Escape from LA nostalgia video, lol. I've seen these posts all over KZbin. Funny how you got bots replying to other bots now. If not bots, then it's just the scammers in-person leaving these comments, which is no better. Both of your accounts were just created earlier this month, which ontop of what you're posting, makes it almost certain you're bot/spam/scammer accounts just phishing for people to use that crap and get taken advantage of.

Very fun movie But the first one is the best

[@MrCarpen7er]

Great video, but poor sound.

[@evanescapades2513]

Great movie...

Kurt Russel is a legend for me.

[@JH-zs6vh]

Basically modern LA.

[@igormiller9764]

Too bad Russel is too old today for another film!It could be epic!

[@hamupinhere]

The thing is, it's not a very good movie, but mostly because A. the FX are kinda dated (and much like "Twister", "Forrest Gump" etc they looked pretty fuckin good at the time), and B. it suffers the "sequel-itis" symptom of having to be more 'comic-relief-focused' than the original. Regardless of all that, I seem to be perpetually watching and enjoying it any time it's on.

[@nickc3121]

So rad.

[@stylishboy004]

Awesome movies made back until the 2000s. New world order requires men to be weak and feable, and because of that, we don't have badass men characters anymore, and men being dominating as 'Snake' is in this movie.

[@onionsavoya1506]

Snake is almost like Jesus as he liberated the people from the laws of Moses.

[@lestherp.7934]

I want to see snake plissken 3

[@Rob-sk1im]

I'm pretty sure Kurt Russell knew that this movie sucked while he was promoting it.

[@anthonyluisi7096]

I agree , but 10 million dollar paycheck ... I don’t think he cared ..😂😂😂😂

[@JarrettMazza]

@@anthonyluisi7096 I don't think it sucks. Good for the time, but if you like Plissken, they made it happen, and it's kind of retro. However, I was too young to really grasp what happened. Do you remember?

[@xierotron]

Such a disappointing movie i originally thought the title was "Escape to LA" and my idea would be fleeing the government n LA is an outlaw safeheaven for snake instead of just a remake in LA

[@kordelas2514]

What is disappointing about it?

[@xierotron]

@@kordelas2514 i literally say, its just a remake of the first but in LA

[@kordelas2514]

@@xierotron And it is still cool even if it uses the same template. Just like video games.
