O filmu:
Escape from New York is a 1981 science fiction action film directed and scored by John Carpenter. He also co-wrote the screenplay with Nick Castle. The film is set in the near future in a crime-ridden United States that has converted Manhattan Island in New York City into a maximum security prison. Ex-soldier and legendary fugitive "Snake" Plissken (Kurt Russell) is given 24 hours to find the President of the United States, who has been captured by inmates after Air Force One crashed on the island. Carpenter originally wrote the film in the mid-1970s as a reaction to the Watergate scandal, but no studio wanted to make it because Carpenter proved unable to articulate just how this film could relate to the Watergate scandal. After the success of Halloween, he had enough influence to get the film made and shot most of it in St. Louis, Missouri, where significant portions of the city were used in place of New York City. The film's total budget was estimated to be USD $6 million It was a commercial hit, grossing over $50 million worldwide.It has since developed its own cult following, particularly around the anti-hero Plissken.

But, you know, I knew something must be rotten in Denmark. There was no way you could like me that much. Man, I can't tell you how relieved I was when you took off your dress, you... you didn't have a dick.

Odličan i prejeben klasik, jedan od meni najdražih filmova Johna Carpentera, i više nego topla preporuka za pogledati!

Movieworld recenzija
Ma kultno ostvarenje, a Snake Plissken je prejeben lik, šteta što nikada nije više korišten (bar je bio inspiracija za Snake eatera)
Solidna doza akcije i tučnjave, efektne scene, borba u areni, dobra priča, cool antijunak, dobri glumci, atmosfera, napetost do samog završnog finala. Drugi dio je čak ispao zabavniji od originala s puno zabavnijim scenama poput surfanja na tsunamiju.

Dobar film, prejeben Russell...ali iskreno moram reći da mi je nastavak uvijek bio mrvicu zabavniji...

Izvrstan film sa nenadjebivom atmosferom.
...I wrapped our love in all this foil,
Silver-tight like spider legs
I never wanted it to ever spoil,
But flies will lay their eggs...

NEW YORK, NEW YORK
Escape from New York (1981) - Kurt Russell uvijek bio podcijenjena filmska faca, filmska zvijezda, ali radio je čuda zajedno sa Carpenterom. Uvijek mi je ovo bio drag film i kako ga dugo nisam gledao, tek sad vidim da su tu van Cleef, Ernest Borgnine i Donald Pleasence Carpenter je uvijek bio veliki fan westerna i uvijek je govorio da su njegovi horori kao stari westerni što gosd to značilo, ali ovdje se osjeti taj divlji zapad, a Snake je ikona koja će mi uvijek biti veća od bilo kojeg Eastwoodovog lika.
