New Orleans during Katrina, for instance. Actually, scratch that. Look at anywhere hit with a devastating hurricane or tsunami. It doesn't take more than a few days, a week at the most. 2 months without tech? Yeah, we wouldn't be getting much of anything up and running that soon, if we can even get organized enough to do so.

    And that alone just makes this character so mysterious, and far more interesting.

      Yup! I caught on to the inspiration way back when the game came out in the 90s! The Solid Snake acted, the way he talked, I said to myself; "Wait a minute.... Solid Snake.... Kurt Russell... SNAKE PLISSKEN!!! lol. You got to be an early 80s or 70s baby to catch the similarities. Millenials, and Gen Z will not get the reference. I wished Snake Plissken character was seen more on the silver screen. I don't think know any other actor that can pull off Snake Plissken like Kurt Russell. If they restart the ESCAPE FROM NY again, they will most likely cast a female as Snake Plissken. I will NOT watch it!

      I think as he said " The America I fought for died a long time ago.” If you look at the context of the movie it’s true. If you see the beginning of the movie President declares a lifelong term. President can only have two terms…also it didn’t go before legislation did it? Probably not now later in the movie you see them on a your life going to LA. There’s no jury no defense so there is no 14th Amendment on not taking a persons life liberty or property without the right to due process. The next one a lady thrown in LA because she was Muslim so much for the First Amendment. Finally the guy saying no guns so no Second Amendment. So to sum up you got a dictator with a serious I am god complex.

    My favorite movie!!! This is a true masterpiece. I get that a lot of people hate this movie but I never understood why. It’s very clever. In the beginning, I absolutely love that he’s wearing the exact same clothes from the first movie, like he hasn’t changed, the world has. Carpenter makes a film that is a sequel that is totally parallel with the prior one until the very end, at this time the movie makes a sudden turn in a different direction where snake gets revenge on the people who screwed him over with a double switcheroo and at the same time, in many ways, probably saves humanity in the long run by forcing them to start over and hopefully get it right this time. Then throw in the L.A. culture nods of basketball and surfing like he did in NY with the baseball culture nod. it’s completely underrated on like every level. Amazing movie and one of russels best performances. If your a fan of the first one and of the legend snake plissken, this should be up on your list. It’s a love letter to the first film and a continuation to one of the greatest sci-fi characters of all time.

    I remember perfectly when I went to see this film in 1996 together with my school friends in a small village cinema, I was thirteen... this film left a strong impression on us, greetings from Italy to Maestro J. Carpenter!

    If you went to see this movie because you wanted to see something as awesome as _Escape from NY_ you'd have been deeply disappointed. If however you knew this was a terrible movie and you watched it anyway, it was an awful lot of fun. Especially the horrible-even-for-its-time CGI and Snake catching a tsunami to catch Steve Buscemi.

    Last week, I watched about 1 hr of 'No Time to Die'.
    I tapped-out when Bond and his Temp Co-Worker..."The Agent Formerly Known as 00WTF?", launched from a plane, then approached an Island in a craft that both appeared and FUNCTIONED in true '2-for 1' style.
    Took me all of 5 seconds after they submerged offshore to recognize Snake Plissken's 'Modes of Infiltration' from both 'Escape from New York' AND 'Escape from L.A.'.
    The more they reveal, the less they conceal.

    I know this is completely the wrong franchise, continent and probably very incompatible by a lot of things not lining up properly... but I like to imagine that the moment Plissken hits the off-switch of the world, is how the Mad Max post-apocalypse gets started. ^^
