Snake Plissken used to make snide remarks about the president, until he took an arrow to the knee (I'm not kidding, that literally happens in the movie).
On a side note, why are there so many clips from Escape from L.A, and yet barely any from Escape from New York? The first movie was way better.
@kledder2 He's a former Colonel. Now he's the Commissioner of the New York City Prison. Also his name is Hawk, but I call him Commissioner Gordon because he's a Commissioner in New York City.
Kurt Russell was perfect as Snake he was just so cool and very sexy in his totally Badass whispery voice i love this character it is my all time favourite character from the 80's Era he does things that you and i won't do the attitude he has is the attitude that we all need to have Lee Van Cleef kicked ass in this movie he is a badass. just remember, call me snake.
@srlibra I know right, I'd never say that, I'd be more interested in getting that pardon and be a complete tool, but Snake realizes he's risking nothing saying whatever he wants because either they really need him or they're just screwing with him and it won't change anything reminding them what he thinks of them xD
this Scene is such a classic and my favorite scene from the movie two iconic and Badass actors in the same scenes together -Lee Van Cleef and Kurt Russell I Love Snake he's one liners were so cool and badass I really liked his Clint Eastwood type whispering reply...'Call me Snake' And the line "Get a new President." Russell's macho swagger and ruthless attitude defines Snake perfectly or "I don't give a fuck about your war or your president" and Lee Van Cleef was calm and so Cool as Hauk
Hideo kojima based solid snake off of plissken if you played the whole mgs series youll see alot that reminds you of plissken for example solid snakes nickname in mgs2 is iroqouis plissken
how the hell are you gonna show this fuckin awesome scene and edit out the most kick ass line of the whole damn movie...."I DONT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOUR WAR...OR YOUR PRESIDENT"
1 person is the president...

Snake answer would make an awesome meme .
And he took an arrow to the knee before everyone.
Plissken , best character ever and best role of Kurt.

Why does he say "a small jet went down" ...I mean, why not just say "Air Force One"?
