Directed by: John Carpenter
Starring: Kurt Russell, Steve Buscemi, Cliff Robertson, Peter Fonda, Pam Grier, Valeria Golino
Revealing mistake: Painfully obvious bluescreen/CGI effect when Snake makes the motorcycle jump into the back of the pickup truck in Cuervo's motorcade. (00:32:45 - 01:08:20)
Revealing mistake: When Snake is surfing with Peter Fonda, if you look, you can tell some of the shots are using a stunt double who appears to have some sort of hood on to try and match Snake's hair. (01:07:55)
Other mistake: As Plisken escapes in the hijacked chopper, Quervo Jones picks up a bazooka and prepares to fire on it. As Fast Eddy shoots him through the chest, watch the bazooka. You can see right through the barrel. In other words, there is no ammo in the weapon. (01:25:05)
Utopia: He did it. He shut down the Earth!
Trivia: In this film, they make remarks about both N.Y. and Cleveland. Although Escape from New York was a film, the story about Cleveland only appears in the comic books.
New this monthQuestion: When talking with Hershey, Snake mentions bluebacks. What did he mean by that?
