Escape From LA (Snake Pliskin)
5150
When will this John Carpenter masterpiece hits the big screen? This is
the best Carpenter flick since The Thing.
Escape from New York was a pretty cool flick, the LA variant should be
great.
Kurt Russell reprises his role as Snake Pliskin, a bad-ass sent in to
hostile territory to save the day. That's about all I know of the
plot.
I saw a trailer in which Snake is facing down an angry mob of
gangstas, all with guns drawn. Snake is holding some kind of object
that he throws into the air, diverting the attention of the goons. As
they stare upward, Snake draws two automatics from his belt and mows
down about a dozen goofs. Awesome.
This movie should be a must-see.

Snbake Pliskin? I thought he was dead.

Me too.

ah, Clem
Maybe you're thinking of Adrienne Barbeau (and her two friends). She
got squished, but Snake and Snbake made it out, destroyed the tape
that was going to save the world, and went on with his bad ass
existence.
Don't you HATE it when you get your Pliskin caught in your zipper?

Actually, they were alluding to the fact that every time Snake gets
introduced to someone their first comment is "Snake Pliskin? I thought
you were dead!".

Only the first couple of times.

It's a joke, son. Watch Escape From New York again. Or rephrase it,
"Snake Plissken? I heard you were dead." Hope Carpenter continues the
joke in the sequel.

Actually, Carpenter's come up with a new version of the joke for ESCAPE
FROM L.A. According to what I read, everyone who meets him in the new
movie says:
(SPOILER ALERT)
"Snake Plissken? I thought you'd be taller."

"That's a definite answer."

How long's it been since you've seen the film? (You're
missing the implicit smilies, I think...)

So why do they call you Napolean?

It may not be such a mind-boggling revelation, but it's because I just
lurve the French pastry! That's all...
You know why the pastry got it's name, then? - "Well, you can't fight
battles all the time; he baked as a kind of relaxation."
Hey, where's my KNICKERS? Oh yeah, the taxi...

you're missing the joke. in the original Escape from NY, whenever
someone heard that Snake was looking for them, the responded with a
similar "I thought he was dead" line. It was pretty funny.

August 9. But when will it come out on laserdisc? Paramount is releasing
this movie and I don't know if it will be popular enough to be given the
THX and/or Dolby Digital treatment. Probably no extras. Probably be
priced at $39.99. The _Escape From New York_ laserdisc has some nice
extras, but nothing to make it special.

Nothing to make it special? I thought the commentary was one of the most
entertaining I've heard! I expect that when EfLA hits ld, Carpenter and
Russell will provide commentary (especially since it's becoming more of a
standard feature, and it appears that Carpenter pushes to get it onmost of
his discs).
Here's hoping...
