Review of Escape from New York (1981) by Scubasteve Walter M — 30 Jun 2013
Didn't know this was the original and Escape from LA ruined this for me. I tried my best though to still appreciate it as much as I can but it simply won't do for me. All I can say is this movie is a great idea created at the wrong time, it's too ambitious for that era, lot's of lousy acting and limited production.
Even Kurt Russel is not as badass in his younger years. Not many movies can have second chances and Escape from New York had that chance. It's learned from its mistakes and made a wonderful remake in Escape from LA.
But at the end of it all, this is where it all started.
