“I don’t give a fuck about your war… And I don’t give a fuck about your president…”, says Snake Plissken in his raspy low voice.
However he will, in a few hours, be parachuted on Manhattan island, which is now a maximum security prison and a no man’s land surrounded by a gigantic impenetrable wall. Plissken has 24 hours to rescue the president, captured by the duke of New-York, with the help of Harold, Brain and Cabby and leave the island that no one leaves… Yes, another post-apocalyptic flick from the early eighties, a Carpenter’s masterpiece with an amazing casting (Isaac Hayes and Lee Van Cleef in the same film, fuck yeah) and the most badass hero ever. I remember the VHS sleeve at my local video store made a huge impression on me when I was a kid.
So here’s a nice treat for you my friends, in praise of 80’s and the apocalypse, here’s the “Escape From New-York” soundtrack.
Once you go in, you can’t get out.
