Then again, as often as I would had to have taken a shot, I might have just blacked out.
If I made a drinking game of “Like that time in New York” or visual/dialogue callback in the first twenty minutes, I might have enjoyed this movie.

While I would like to say that I am willing to take a sequel on its own terms rather than compare it to its predecessor, I will do so only if it makes an effort to be a movie in its own right. Plissken’s “Call me Snake” is delivered as the expected entrance line, without gravitas or purpose, rather than the final establishment of his character before the story begins. But it was immediately after the credits that we are treated to an inferior version of the opening of Escape from New York, with all the tension, atmosphere and world building forgotten. And had this been presented as a clean slate, I wouldn’t have minded. What are the consequences of Snake’s actions from the original movie? Never mentioned. is the new prison town: What happened to New York? Never explained. is in every way a retread of the original movie’s plot, without any of the finesse that made Escape From New York work.Įscape from L.A.’s problem of treading old ground becomes apparent during its opening narration, one of the only things taken in tone from the original movie. I should probably ask to match the screenwriter’s salary, because that’s exactly what they did in this movie. What’s that? I did a copy/paste of my summary of the last movie, changed a few words and managed to make it sound stupider even in summation? Huh. The safety of the world is in there too, but that’s no interest to Snake – he’s only in this for himself.

Snake Plissken, an ex-soldier and newly sentenced prisoner, is given one task: Find a black box and get it out of New York, in exchange for a full pardon. has become a cordoned off prison, a dumping ground for the worst the country has to offer, the President’s daughter has landed Air Force Three in the middle of the island to help a domestic terrorist plot. Like a checklist, it went through every bad idea I have ever seen ruin a sequel and played to them as hard as possible. is, as I see it, a guidebook on how not to write a sequel. That’s a mistake I won’t be making again.Įscape from L.A. Yes, someone warned me away from the movie, but I came in wanting to give it a fair shake. Kurt Russel produced the movie, but it’s not like a star being involved in the production has ever been associated with poor quality. And yeah, the script for the movie was commissioned in 1985, with the final product released in 1996, but that surely means it was just given more love and attention. Sure, co-writer Nick Castle left, but surely that’s not reason enough to worry.

Shirley Walker, the composer for Batman the Animated Series and my personal favorite TV composer ever was involved with the score.
The same director, producer, and star returned for the sequel. I sat here, in the same chair, looking at the same monitor I watched Escape from New York on.
