Completely agree with everything here - one thing he didn't mention that had a HUGE effect on me as a kid was the computer animation at the beginning explaining the new york prison island. Those cold graphics and idea burned into my head.

[@mikesilva3868]

Huge fan of this movie 😊

[@jackgrattan1447]

"It totally changed my life." It sure did Neil. You grew up to look just like Donald Pleasence!

[@Madbandit77]

LOL! :-)

[@gordonm.7387]

Haha! "Hey Lonnie, get your ass away from there!"

[@dbwindhorst1]

Note that Carpenter had also previously worked with Russell, who starred in his made-for-TV "Elvis" a couple years prior.

[@andrewciraulo8851]

Great video. Though, it does remind me of how much I'd love to see John Carpenter do some commentaries for TFH. You guys should totally try to get him on the site!

Amazing film from the master- John Carpenter.

[@lerm2866]

Mr. Marshall gave a nice nod to this in his underrated Doomsday.

[@philmellor4885]

More than a nod. He was lifting royally from EFNY and a number of other films that had taken his fancy in the early 80s.

FUN FACT: short hair girl who gets pulled down beneath floor when Snake is hiding from "Crazies" was Kurt Russell's wife in REALITY at the time.

Season Hubley

[@TheWillMobile]

This was a fantastic movie, as is Mr. Marshall's The Descent. Doomsday wasn't too fantastic, though ...

[@only257]

Love this movie

[@RWSCOTT]

Subversive post punk sci-fi western action at it's best. One of my all time favorites, and holds up surprisingly well. Snake dies game over. Campbell freaking out

[@johannes914]

Loved it ! ...

[@euanelliott3613]

Great film, and Adrienne Barbeau was gorgeous. Still is.

[@dravenuk]

If EFNY ever does get a remake it should be Neil Marshall who makes it. He already kinda did with Doomsday. Personally though I hope there is no remake. Leave well alone.

[@kamuelalee]

Saint Louie?

[@eduardo_corrochio]

Love it ... "BEETA-max". Do the Brits pronounce the entire Greek alphabet differently? ;-) just kidding!

[@frankiehoskyn3948]

One of Carpenters better films, but a film that's not really sure who it's target audience is meant to be 🎬🎥🤔

[@smjjohnson]

Hey man, it's pronounced Bayta Max, not Beeta Max.

[@Deepurplerain]

yees Doomsday,featuring this film,Mad Max 1&2,Absolom 2022,but ended up being a trash..

[@-Toaster-]

This movie sucks. It's so boring. Not enough action.

[@maxthepupp]

What are you even talking about man? Put down the crack pipe - this movie is awesome.

[@danielstartek9729]

Beetamax? Neal likes to beat his max!
