I was so overwhelmed by this film when I was young back then. This is the first dark, dystopian, post-apocalyptic film I had ever seen. It seemed so groundbreaking for 81. I loved how Snake wasn’t a traditional hero and how he ended the film walking away, destroying the tape while smoking a cigarette.

"We'd make one hell of a team, Snake!" "The name's Plissken!" Fun Fact: The opening narration, and the computer's voice in the first prison scene, were provided by an uncredited Jamie Lee Curtis. Location Location Fact: The night street scenes were filmed in East St. Louis, Illinois, across the Mississippi River from St. Louis, Missouri. East St. Louis is filled with old, run-down buildings, and entire neighborhoods burned out during a massive fire in 1976. Practical Effects Fact: The wire-frame computer graphics on the display screens in the glider were not computer-generated. Computers capable of 3-D wire-frame imaging were too expensive at the time. Special effects designers built a model of the city, painted it black, attached bright white tape to the model buildings in an orderly grid, and moved a camera through the model city.

Y’all don’t realize just how important this film was for Kurt Russell’s career as an actor. He had been a child actor (his dad, Bing Russell, was a character actor who appeared in dozens of movies and television shows over the years, including THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN (1960)) and had only recently begun starting to play more adult roles in the few years leading up to this film. Prior to this movie, in 1979, he had played Elvis Presley in a very widely seen and critically acclaimed TV movie on ABC called “Elvis,” which was directed by John Carpenter. That was the beginning of their creative partnership. But before that, with the exception of another TV movie in 1975 titled “The Deadly Tower,” where he played mass murderer Charles Whitman, a Marine veteran who had, in 1966, infamously stabbed his wife and mother before killing 15 people (including an infant) and wounding 31 others by shooting them from atop the Main building tower at the University of Texas in Austin before taking his own life, Russell was mainly famous for appearing in a number of very clean, family friendly Disney movies, both in supporting roles and as leads, and playing various boys and young men in guest roles on assorted TV shows like Gunsmoke and Hawaii Five-O. His very first movie role was in an Elvis movie, in fact! In the movie IT HAPPENED AT THE WORLD’S FAIR (1963), Kurt played a little boy who Elvis hires to kick him in the leg as part of a ruse. It’s hilarious!

Not sure if anybody mentioned this already, but the fight scene with the spiked baseballs bats was done with a professional wrestler. He was very excited to get to beat up on a movie star. When Kurt Russell goes down on one knee, he wasn't acting. The wrestler was really taking it to him. They had to keep telling him to take it easy. If you ever seen professional wrestlers doing what they do, they make it look real.

The city scenes were filmed in Kansas City. Part of the city was depopulated then because of a large fire. So there was also spotty electrical service for street lights and no real police presence. Not the safest place to be at night. There's a shot where Russell walks down a street and turns a corner. As it happened, he walked up on some people who just happened to be out at night. They took one look at him in his Snake kit, guns and all, and said "Hey, man. Just take it easy." Russell went back and told John Carpenter he thought the character was going to work well in the film.

One of my favorite movies! =) The guy Snake fights in the ring is a wrestler by the name of Ox Baker. From what I know he was mostly from the Territories days of wrestling such as WWWF, WWC, NWA and AWA, but he also did appearances in ROH in 2004 and CZW in 2007. There's also a sequel, Escape from L.A., also directed by Carpenter and starring Kurt Russell as Snake Plissken, but sadly it's basically the same movie as the 1st one and it had some pretty bad cgi (this was in the 90's and cgi was pretty young at that time, the only movies that did cgi well in the 90's where Terminator 2 and Jurassic Park). A 3rd movie was planned called Escape from Earth, but it was cancelled when L.A. was a box office disappointment. A video game was planned too, but it never came off the ground, but I would love to see a video game adaptation made today! They're making a new Terminator, RoboCop and even a Killer Klowns From Outer Space game now, so why not?! Have Kurt Russell voicing Snake Plissken and have John Carpenter write the story and make the music, now that would be freaking awesome! =D
