#ESCAPE FROM LA MOVIE#
It's a shame this movie didn't work out, we could have enjoyed Escape From Mars instead of Ghosts of Mars. If you're not enjoying the ride by the time Pam Grier's Hershey appears, you've long missed the boat. It's campier with a thick tongue-in-cheek sense of humor. Sure, it's of the same story metal as Escape From New York, but then it doesn't try to set the world on fire. With Russell as a cowriter with Carpenter, you can see how this movie was actually an excuse for two old friends to hang out again. The movie progresses from one over-the-top set piece to the next bringing with them a bunch of great characters along the way - Bruce Campbell will always be a favorite moment. Russell was still a solid leading presence in the 90s and he slips back into the leather duds, beard stubble, and eyepatch with ease. isn't just the grumblings of a crotchety old man, you can also see that Carpenter and Russell are having a hell of a great time with this one. But the satire continues for all walks of 90s American life right up to Cliff Robertson essentially playing a fascist version of Pat Robertson.
You follow that progression you can see why Carpenter would have some barbs for the industry. They were either forgettable and not really "his" - Memoirs of an Invisible Man, grossly under-appreciated - In the Mouth of Madness, or dumped into theaters and scorned by critics after a recent national tragedy - Village of the Damned. Especially when you look at the films he'd made in the 90s up to that point. With the call for more sequels and a push for cheap-looking CGI effects, it's easy to see where he would be interested in making a takedown of the industry hand that feeds him. is his comedically cynical response to where the Hollywood film industry was going. It's entertaining from start to finish, but I can see why some folks don't have rosy opinions of it.Īs I've gotten older and I've repeatedly devoured John Carpenter's films and watched and/or read interviews - I feel like Escape From L.A. For a 14-year-old who'd just earnestly discovered Carpenter's work - I loved seeing this movie in the theaters. A sequel long in gestation that wasn't met with high praise from most critics or fans of the original - it wasn't what they expected or maybe even wanted to see in a sequel featuring Kurt Russell's ocularly-challenged tough guy badass. Armorer Steve Karnes at Ellis Props & Graphics was hired to build a new version of the Coreburner, this time based around the M16K, which worked far better.Considering previous coverage of the 2010 Blu-ray Release and the fact that Escape From New York exists - there's really little reason for me to try and recap Escape From L.A. Originally, the weapon was supplied by Stembridge Gun Rentals and based upon a Rocky Mountain Arms Patriot fitted to a select-fire M16 lower receiver unit, but the Patriot upper was not designed to function on fully automatic fire, and thus, the Stembridge version of the Coreburner kept jamming when firing blank rounds on full-auto. In reality, the weapon is a heavily modified later-generation LaFrance Specialties M16K. The rifle used by Snake Plissken ( Kurt Russell) is identified in the film as a " Coreburner".
