I watched Escape from New York (1981) last year for the first time and I thought it was an amazing Sci-Fi movie with a deep political story and themes throughout the film and a great performance from the legendary Kurt Russell. I also watched another Sci-Fi film last year called Paprika from Satoshi Kon and that is also an amazing Sci-Fi movie that I highly recommend to anyone who is a fan of the genre.

I remember getting lost in St Louis in the late 90s trying to get back to Kansas from a Misfits show at Mississippi Nights club. It seemed like miles and miles of abandoned everything. At least the gunfire was not directed to our caravan. GREAT SHOW though. No Danzig, but what can you do

Escape from New York was originally advertised as a "gritty urban melodrama", (melodrama meaning the characters are bigger than life, in exaggerated situations) which is more accurate than an "action movie". There is action in it of course, but it is an escape movie first. Snake Plisskin is an escape artist, prison could not hold him, neither could New York. There are many scenes where Snake escapes from cannibals from the sewers (including an amazing shot where he carves a hole in the wall with a machine gun and jumps through), escapes from The Duke's henchmen, and helps the President escape from New York. At the end Snake once again walks away free after screwing over the state, escaping back into obscurity.

See if you can find the novelization of it online. It tells you why Snake went rogue.

I’ve always loved this film. This time was really the beginning of the dark, gritty, post apocalyptic, dystopian films we’ve come to enjoy. It was also one of the first times where the “anti-hero” is the star of the film.

@writeralbertlanier3434 6 ай бұрын

Escape from New York is a dystopic Sci fi action film generally in the vein of the post-apocalyptic film trend of the 70s. Carpenter's film is generally a fairly lean actioner at times. It's a typical "mission" type of a film: a protagonist with skills is given a get out of jail free card if he is successful within a rigid time frame. Here the dystopia is limited to Manhattan and Snake Plisken gets injected thus giving him a personal stake in rescuing the President. It's rather basic fill in the blanks screenwriting but the direction by Carpenter is crisp and effective and the performances by Kurt Russell a n d Harry Dean Stanton among others believable enough. A solid action film.

It says a lot about Carpenter's ideologies/politics at the time. The whole "f**k the government and private corporations" attitude a lot of people had in the 70s and 80s.

@releasethekraken3603 2 ай бұрын

So you make it count when the time for action comes. And that's what Carpenter does. And this is closer to a Western than to Sci-Fi. I never understood why it was stuck with the "Sci-Fi" tag. Nothing Science Fiction about it. But I do love this film as well as most of Carpenter's films. I even enjoyed a few parts of Ghosts of Mars. A few parts.
