    8/10. Showing the future world with the sloppy and bloody similar to B-grade films: the costumes are full of street stalls and gaudy wigs, the streets are like a stage set full of junk, and gangsters with action logic like zombies are constantly pouring out to kill the protagonist. The rhythm of the film is good, and the chilling atmosphere is created to grab people's hearts. The flaw is that the action scenes are not good. The fights are typical of the clumsy and cyber flavor of the...

    There is no sci-fi with special effects, and the fantasy time is not far away, so I feel that the sci-fi is not enough. But the male lead's skills are still improved a...

    The rights center is reduced to a safari park. The beginning was very exciting, I thought it was the reverie of Diaosi's counterattack. Guess it was just another Rambo show with a concave shape and pretending to be...

    The sets and photography succeeded in producing some beautiful moments, but it was still a game. Carpenter always builds the world in a continuous dance, but in this film, the continuous rhythm is constantly interrupted by the level, which also dissolves the beauty of the image. There's a lot of movement in Carpenter's films, but little...

    Carpenter’s second study: I ​​remember watching it once in the early years, but I don’t have a good impression. Looking at it today, I still can’t change the rescue story shaped by the sense of doomsday. The punk style is rampant, and it runs through Carpenter’s iconic electronic music. Still can't hide the poor quality of the film. Compared with the previous work "Murder in the Night Fog", the story is actually dull, but the limitation of space should lay the foundation for the masterpiece...

    Inspiration and prototype for Hideo Kojima's Metal Gear series. The closed and isolated vice city, the future government of monopoly dictatorship, wasteland punk, spy war infiltration, rebel tough guy snake, all kinds of settings are very imaginative, but the plot rhythm, story logic and action scenes are...

    Afterthought

    After watching the movie, I feel that it is such a small cost, and the special effects naturally cannot be too demanding. It is already very good to be able to create such a dark and illusory city. Carpenter's own soundtrack is in line with the weird keynote of the film, and should be of the...

    Seeing the end, it suddenly dawned on me that this is an anti-war movie

    The title of a hero is in exchange for his life. People who have truly been heroes may never want to have a second time in their lives.

    At that time, the Vietnam War had a great impact on American soldiers. After the war, the soldiers came back lingering, their comrades-in-arms died....

Escape from New York quotes

  • Cabbie: Brain? Brain, I brought somebody to see you.

    Snake Plissken: [recognizes Brain] Harold Helman...

    Brain: Snake?

    Maggie: [curious] Harold?

    Snake Plissken: How you been, Harold? It's been a long time.

    Maggie: You never told me you knew Snake Plissken, Brain.

    Cabbie: Isn't that great? Hey, Brain, I could use some gas if you could spare some.

    Snake Plissken: I'm glad you remember me. Yeah, a man should remember his past. Kansas City, four years ago, you ran out on me... You left me sittin' there.

    Brain: You were late.

    Snake Plissken: [bitterly] We were buddies, Harold. You, me, and Fresno Bob. You know what they did to Bob, huh?

  • The Duke: [Snake's been captured after getting shot in the leg with an arrow] Who are you?

    [Snake... in obvious agony, still says nothing]

    [strikes Snake with a tire iron, knocking him unconscious]

    The Duke: I heard you were dead!
