Greatest ending of a movie ever

[@SIKE01]

on his terms

[@raymondyee2008]

At least Donald Pleasance had a less sadistic portrayal of the President than Cliff Robertson in “Escape from LA”.

[@Theoriginalbigbrillo]

That's mainly due to the fact he was a Englishman 🤭🤭🤭

[@cleverdrfeelgood1962]

Yeah.. He had sort of a "pleasance" demeanor for sure..

[@zippityzop]

Rest in Peace Donald

[@1_Bad_Z]

After listening to what was on that tape, im sure that our great Nations were able to learn to live in peace.

[@jmstowe]

Yes, Less BS.

[@kevinluschak5241]

Such a masterpiece of film.

[@TheEvilclown73]

It is definitely an Epic tune. Great Movie.

[@mindgamesuncut6244]

Classic ending live the themw song

[@dougdouglas3945]

One of the bad ass scenes of all time

[@ScarletSnake]

I looooove this movie... Perhaps one of the greatest finales of all time, ties everything together so perfectly!!!

1) Never mess with someone who makes out or has made out alive of many life taking situations that would have killed a lesser being. 2) Antihero is what defines the whole I don't give a damn about scenario, especially the ones involving freaking politicians and their shit ass disasters 3) Mess with the best, die like the rest. 4) Skills, calmness and cool in tense situation handlers would most likely give you hell of a sweet revenge if wronged hard. 5) Finally, a pretty freaking cool legendary theme song that goes with a legendary badass leaving the scene with the world in shock is brilliantly superb! Snake Plissken, the one, the only, and the Man for almost any impossible missions will always be my Number 1 Anti Hero! Love EFNY and EFLA.

The subtle . . ."the name is Plissken." Means you can never be right.

[@KRS2000]

This movie was the closest we got to seeing Dr. Loomis and Dr. Chalis together. Still, this was a great movie.

[@michaelshea5622]

There was, is and will always be only one Snake Plissken. Don't do a remake.

[@i_i8924]

I think it will work if its Kurt Russell's son but looks like he turned down the part saying its 'career suicide' (but thats only if they do it wrong imo but owell)

[@iCANT_BELIEVE_YOU_SAID_THAT]

I agree, a remake should never be made. However, I would watch a sequel to the second movie where everyone is trying to survive without electricity where the government is looking for an elder Snake.

[@Whatta33]

It was a great era of making movies. This is one of them. Another one is Warriors, Mad Max and few more

[@dwainsellers6453]

So true they don't make them like they used to

[@palerider964]

Badassery, right there!!

[@nikhil8892]

Great movie... Killer look kurt 🔥

[@EXPOSEDBYGABRIELPEREZ]

THE PRESIDENT: THANK YOU ANYTHING YOU WANT. SNAKE: JUST A MOMENT OF YOUR TIME. PRESIDENT: YES? SNAKE 100 MILLION DOLLARS. PRESIDENT ANYTHING ELSE?

[@dougdouglas3945]

Great, great scene! Thanks for the upload.

[@Firebrand55]

3.50... Bandstand Boogie; Les Elgart.....rideout tune is close to that of Attack on Precinct 13.

[@roberthart2825]

Love this movie and the music epic

[@runways_railways]

Epic Tune alright!!! 👍

[@thegiftedone]

Badass!

[@dougdouglas3945]

💯%

[@iCANT_BELIEVE_YOU_SAID_THAT]

I've always wondered what was on the tape?

[@franckmorelli7761]

Great

[@georgegreenberg3784]

Charles Bronson would have known how to handle NY

[@arc77fordo29]

Bruh....Imagine if Snake Plissken and Paul Kersey teamed up???? 😱😱😱😱 they'd be unstoppable 🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@youtubefilmvisionary67]

They just don't make good Movies like this anymore!!

[@oldmanv5001]

No they do not

[@bman_2024]

dont miss w pisken

[@mikeg284]

the audio has been altered

[@LordThree]

Unpopular opinion, but I didn’t think the LA one was all that terrible. This would have made a good trilogy.

[@travisd7888]

?????

[@theodoreduggan5917]

God that movie was stupid. I remember seeing it when it came out. I was 11 or 12. And even as a kid I thought, "Jesus couldn't they have come up with a better script than that?"

[@Stevesautopartsify]

You must REALLY hate the second then! LOL

[@meathead6155]

Get lost troll.

[@c0nn0r0hagan]

What would you personally change? ,not starting an argument just interested in your opinion.
