  • Best theme...Period! !!!

  • The nineties-ized version.

  • 0:55 = Transformers Tune.

  • Kurt Russell sould play solid snake in a live action M.G.S movie! who's with me?

  • @killerhilt2 big boss

  • ok ok i'll give you that one, big boss it is.

  • Snakes are guardians of the Holy Cross... or GUARDIANS in general.

    Some people use snakes... Im not serving usa's fucked up shit again.

  • Escape from usa

    Thats going to be the next one. John Carpenters movies are pretty sweet. JC Vampires xD

    Everyone knows who SNAKE is right?

    Music sounds like a ready up menu to equip your character in some FPS game. Leather pants? Or no Leather pants? Leopard Leather pants?

  • @DarkPrinceNH5570 I heard that an anime called 'Escape From Earth' was in development, but it turned out to be a rumour.

    Kind of glad in a way. I'm sick of good stuff getting cheap anime spin-offs (Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury, anyone?).

    They should make a fuckin' live action, RIGHT NOW. Escape from USA, Escape from Earth, whatever it is just make sure Kurt Russell and Carpenter are back and I'll be happy. :)

  • Kurt Russell is a tough guy...if you haven't seen his movie Soldier check it out. He does some awesome fight scenes.

  • Just one more year fellows, one more year. Then we can talk about the World end.

  • Which is the song with the cool guitar? It sounds like this song, only that this one has synthesizer in the place of the guitar.

  • "Escape From "Lost Angels" Yeah!! <333

  • " You may have escaped Cleveland, you might have even escaped New York, but this is L.A. baby, AND THIS TOWN IS BIG ENOUGH TO KILL ANYONE!!!"- Oh! how true!!!

  • I remember hearing this when I first saw the film in theaters for my 16th birthday. An awesome companion piece to the original theme.

  • I Frickin Loved This Movie, And I Was Only A Kid When i Saw It.

  • you know what, i absolutaly love kurt russell as snake, he is a fucking legend, but i think we should at least give gerard butler a chance.

  • @Snoogen11

    Why? Because it was announced? I'm sure there are better not well-known actors who could replace him. Why Butler? Because he is famous?

  • snake! snake! snakeeeeeeee!

  • Shut down the third world, they lose you win. I shut down America, you lose, they win. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

  • Kurt Russell IS Snake... There can only be one...

  • badass soundtrack

  • the thing and the escape movies and kurt russell enough said

  • 666.........the best :D

  • Shiiiiiit Yeah!!

  • Rewatched both NY and LA recently and forgot how completely badass those movies are. Kurt Russel is the shit nuff' said!

  • Watch Deathproof anyone who think Kurt is too old to be awesome.

  • Viggo Mortensen could play Snake if they're planning a remake: with long hair and a stubble he's almost indentical to Kurt Russel's look.

  • @eddievaliant1 FUCK! Hurry, somebody mail Carpenter and tell him right now! I had never realized Viggo could give the look and feeling for Snake.

  • Apparently they might remake this with Nicholas Cage.......I hope not.

  • Go Kurt! Blast on all the politicians!!!

  • I DON'T CARE A FUCK!!!

  • My life will not be complete until I've chased down Steve Buscemi by surfing a CGI tsunami with Peter Fonda.

  • Me soundtrack like it much very :)

  • 『ニューヨーク1997』のは、もう最高だったけれど

    こちらも素晴らしいアレンジですね!!

    

  • There was supposed to be one more film in the franchise, ESCAPE FROM EARTH, but the dismal returns of LA assured that this film would not be made. There is a script floating around online, and I have read it, and it would have been a great story as it is not like LA, which is almost a remake of NY...

  • @ashleygirlofsisters Where can it be read?

  • Yeah, that would have been awesome, so where can we read the script? Escape from NY still remains the best.

  • Welcome To The Human Race.

  • Looks like 2 New Yorkers are still mad that Snake escaped from NY

  • The movie's quality might be debatable, but the soundtrack kicked about every ass possible.

  • This movie is a documentary of a stark depiction of a future America where Sarah Palin takes power!

    Coming soon! Snake Plissken in "Escape From Alaska!"

  • @radioblueheart Hahaha hehehe...not funny

  • @MaxamillianArturo

    Go fuck yourself.

    Is that funny enough for you?

  • @radioblueheart I guess it would be if I were 12 years old

  • @MaxamillianArturo

    It must be hard on you. Not knowing who your father is.

    Keep responding this is fun!

  • Escape from New York = Good movie, where Snake is surviving in New York, performing his mission.

    Escape from LA = Snake goes on a murder rampage, while being entirely badass, and in doing so, completes his mission.

  • that was awsome when snake push the button show all these cocksuckers politics

  • america will fall

  • The ending of this movie was epic and a great big FTW!

  • If they remake this Hollywood will more than likely FUCK IT UP, Josh Brolin as Snake-NO!!!! Just leave Escape from Ny alone ffs!!!!!

  • Really I thought it was that guy from 300?

  • @HOLOKRON There were talks to have the guy from 300 be Snake but Kurt Russell didn't like the choice at all. He said that Snake is suppose to be an American outlaw and that he should be played by an American. I agree with him. Snake is the anti-hero american we all wish we could be. They are seriously considering Josh Brolin for the role. I think Kurt Russell should just play Snake one more time even if he is getting close to 60 years old. Kurt Russell IS Snake Plissken.

  • Yeah, Snake should come back one more time.No point doing a remake. Carpenter can call me, I'll help him with the movie.

  • @HOLOKRON yeah they should do another movie "Escape from Cleveland" cause you hear them all the time talk about in New York and L.A.. but they never show you what happen nor how he lost his eye.

  • @kinddave27 They are actually at work with a remake of the original Escape from New York, which will have somewhat of a back story, showing Plissken at war [This time with the Middle East instead of Leningrad], how New York City is the victim of a dirty bomb or chemical warfare attack, thus rendering it uninhabitable, so seeing this, the government decides to convert it into a prison for the entire country, and you will be seeing the first prisoners, which include The Duke, who enter the prison.

  • @HOLOKRON they should make a clone and make a mercenary bussines,... oh wait

  • @HOLOKRON there was supposed to be a third and final escape movie, it was called Escape from Earth. sadly, it is stuck in what the movie business calls "Production Hell"

  • @Macca1969 Brolin's name was not attached for too long. The last rumors were Timothy Olyphant and Jeremy Renner, but as far as I know the remake is just stuck in development hell and probably not going to happen anytime soon. They should just tell John Carpenter, "You can have full creative control," and let him and Russell have at it with their "Escape From Earth" concept.

  • @Macca1969 HELL FUCKING YEAH THATS THE TRUTH ITS BE JUST LIKE A METAL GEAR NOW PEARFECT HAA HAAA IT JUST FALL TOGETHER JUST DECENT HEE HEEZ KURT BETTER DO IT

  • @trayonzuru Snake pliskin IS solid snake/big boss, just listen to the voices and it's the exact same thing. Kojima basically took the kurt russel character and made it his own, which is a good thing.

  • @nohozana i now for sure he is

  • @Macca1969 hmmm chris evans? no he's to boyish idk who could pull that roll off. mabye christian bale buts he's english

  • @TheGrizzzle Woah, easy tiger he's Welsh. Epic tune Russel is snake period. just learnt to play this on keyboard thanks to this track

  • @Macca1969 100 percent agree!!!!!!

  • @Macca1969 if anyone else plays snake but kurt russel i'm not gonna watch the movie

  • Kurt IS Snake. End of.

  • @Macca1969 gerrad butler? he wasnt in the acting business back in 1996 ?

  • @Macca1969 or do u mean in a remake?

    

  • @UNCLESEANYC Yeah, there are talks of a remake for this era and Gerard Butler was in talks of playing Snake but Kurt cringed at the idea. There are rumors flying around that Jeremy Rainor from Hurtlocker and The Town is in the running for Snake Plissken. I don't think he is a great fit to be honest...

  • @Macca1969 I personally think that they need to take a crap shoot and get someone no one would expect. I mean, that's what they did with Kurt, his acting experience at that point was mostly in Disney movies and other kid-friendly stuff, so people were surprised that he would be in a role like this. I think that for the remake they need to do the same. They don't have anything to lose, as it's almost a given that a remake would suck anyway

  • @ProjectParker zac efron

  • @ZeroTheHero88 weirdly enough, Kurt Russel WAS the 1970's version of Zac Effron. So who knows? Like I said, nothing to lose.

  • @Macca1969 I agree. Although I wouldn't mind Josh Brolin, I like the guy and he has that violent look in his eye that could let him pull it off. Brolin deserves to be today's action star, like Bruce Willis was back in the day. Enough of Shia LaBeouf trying to pull it off in 'Gaygle Eye'.

  • @IronRooRoo Aye I've never been that impressed with Shia LaBeouf at all. Josh Brolin though, he was cool in Jonah Hex.... Did you know that Josh Brolin was Brand, the older brother from The Goonies? There was a mini implosion in my mind when I found that out.

  • @IronRooRoo Personally, I think Viggo Mortensen would be great for the role, if he can do the voice :/

  • @Macca1969 While they are at it, if they ever do that Metal Gear Solid movie, Kurt Russell to play Old Snake or Big Boss.

  • mgs4 snake pliskin lol.

    

  • I love Escape From New York, should I watch Escape From LA or let the reviews scare me?

  • @BstrangerUK more badass (maybe a little lost on the atmosphere) but same level of awesomness

  • @BstrangerUK

    I actually quite liked it. Not nearly as good as EFNY but nice entertainment.

  • @BstrangerUK YES! Most people who reviewed this movie are prudes! The movie is awesome and if you loved the Snake character then you'll love this. I find the people who reviewed the movie didn't get it but if you watched Escape from NY and loved it then you'll most likely love this one too. Kurt Russell is a true badass.

  • @BstrangerUK check the channel alexandra82121 or type makaveli demo ull see a purple bombfirst u tube video click on the channel escapefrom la is there the whole movie!

  • @BstrangerUK It was awesome too. Don't listen the reviews. Escape From LA is badass too, maybe more.

  • @DimbalaH I liked LA more than NY, NY was boring and slow as shit. I can't even remember what happened in it, I have to re-watch it from time to time. It has more meaning in the message too.

  • @BstrangerUK It doesn't hold a candle to New York, but I liked it none the less, just don't expect Escape From New York, you will be disappointed

  • The more things change the more they stay the same.Snake Plisskin 1996.

  • Take a good sip of American Spirit, when there is no power!

  • Thumbs up if you're waiting for the Apocalypse so that you don't have to deal with income, mortgage, foreclosure, yuppies, freshman, cowards, and hillbillies!!! Snake Plissken Rules!!!

  • @FlashFilmTube As we know from post-apocalyptic fiction, it's usually after the apocalypse that the hillbillies really become a problem :) Consider Lucifer's Hammer and it's antagonists in the shape of cannibalistic hyper-religious hicks.

  • THE THIRTY YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK IS IN 2011, LET'S MAKE A NEW ONE JOHN CARPENTER!!!!

  • @TheSubZeroJAM A new one is in very early production. Josh Brolin is being considered as the new Snake.

  • nice soundtrack, bad movie

  • @ar2014 well i can't be a judge since my Escape From L.A. still hasn't come in the mail from Netflix, but I will be damned if I will let any person disrespect Snake Plissken and the Escape series. It's better then any Dystopian-related film ass-of-yet so don't complain because you can't find flaws in the plot of the movies, the only bad thing you can think of is the special effects in Escape From New York when Plissken shot the wall out and jumped through styrofoam and rammed throu sheet metal.

  • @FlashFilmTube im not complaining, in fact i love escape from NY. i meant that escape from LA could have been much better

  • I prefer this theme to original 

  • do you have a match?

  • i would like to see a part 3 than a remake

  • Movie was a great disappointment - HOWEVER this new version of the infamous theme was and is awesome.

  • In Remake i want Paul Levesque As Triple H I Hate Fucking Gerard Butler And Jeremy Renner And Josh Brolin Triple H Is Better In Remake i Like Remakes But Escape From New York Remake Looks Stuped.

    AKA Rant

  • @makedonia1903 So you're saying you want Triple H as the new Snake? I don't think that is a very good choice. He is way too bulky and he is not a very good movie actor(on WWE tv he is). Watch the third blade movie he is in, he was awful. Of course only Kurt Russell will be the one and true legendary Snake Plissken but I don't think Josh Brolin would be too bad. He could look the part.

  • @Macca1969 i seen the Blade Trinity on of my favourtie movie plus he was very good my opinion

  • awesome soundtrack!! too bad about the film.

  • MY NAME IS SNAKE PLISSKEN BITCH!!!!! GADAFI IM COMING TO GET YOU!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • I've tried to base one of my Fallout: New Vegas characters after this guy. Still tryin' too. Wonder what Snake Plissken would do if most of the U.S. were obliterated by nuclear warfare?

  • @BleachUndertakerfan He's Snake Motherfucking Plissken! He'd ESCAPE FROM THE UNITED STATES.

  • @BleachUndertakerfan

    Escape From USA.

  • there is only one snake plissken and that's kurt russell.

  • Kurt Russell should play John Marston

  • my only question wat was the shit that went down in Cleveland

  • bad ass soundtrack

  • the remake might like shit with some piece of shit actor name Gerard Butler or Jeremy Renner might be snake i fucking hate that kurt russell would beat the shit out of them

  • Hey Man i like Kurt Russell Why Did you call me a dumbass why give me one good reason why did you call me Dumbass i just jokeing around be cool

  • This song just plays from the sky everytime I do something awesome, which is all the time!

  • I like how there's a Duke Nukem Forever vid next to this theme vid. The Duke is back baby!

  • @gorilla12d3 Always bet on Duke

  • this should play everytime somebody does something awesome. oh yeah.

  • 2 People Didnt Escape From La My Friend Hate's This movie i don't know why i said you Didn't Escape From La Do you he Give thumps down i give to thumps i like that movie Escape From New York And Escape From LA Were the Best Movie But My Favourtie Movie is Expendables i would think about Expendables 2 Because Kurt Russell Might be in it so everyone we got to see Expendables 2 next year my favourte actor is Sylevester Stallone

  • @makedonia1903 Your a dumbass

  • ESCAPE FROM L.A. was Awesome! To bad no one got the joke! It is suppose to be FUN!! Not compared to the classic From 81..... Because the public did not get it we will never get the ending.....ESCAPE FROM CHICAGO

  • "Call me Snake"

    (Many gun shots later)

    "The name's Plisken"

  • @MrTrance3000 I'm ready to kick your ass around the world war hero!

  • Why is this not a video game?

  • "Bend over mr. president, time for a spanking".

  • 666

  • "Catches on quick, doesn't she?"

  • America is headed in the direction of this movie..

  • @cheapcape Pure awesomeness? Because that's what this movie is.

  • @cheapcape I think America is heading in the direction of "Idiocracy!" Ha ha!

  • @bildo1977 You are so right

  • @bildo1977 great movie ^^

  • @cheapcape Welcome to the human race....

  • @cheapcape

    Sadly ... in reality there is no snake.

  • @cheapcape Civil war or what?

  • @cheapcape i hope so!

  • I was surprised to see this cause I heard he was dead :O

  • You might have survived Cleveland. You might have escaped from New York. But this is L.A., vato. And you're about to find out that this fucking city can kill anybody!

  • un de mes film prefere

  • You win they lose, They win you lose, The more things change the more they stay the same, So I will just disappear. :)

  • Too be fair, I am a HUGE Sanke Plisskin fan. However, I would have enjoied this movie much more if it hadn't been a xerox copy of the first movie with minor modifacations.

    Don't get me wrong, I love distopic movies, and this was a good one...it just lacked the original punch all John Carpenter movies have.

  • Oh Shirley Walker composed this. She also composed the music to the Batman animated series.

  • FANTASTICA!!!!!

  • 2 people are shorter than Snake...

  • we want a remake and a good one not a cheap ass rip off!!!

  • @ironhidewatson Preferably none, thank you :P Enough brilliant movies have been raped, leave Snake be.

  • 2 people didn't escape fro L.A.

  • WE WANT ESCAPE FROM CLAVELAND !!!!

  • @alec00618 I want "Escape from Earth"

  • I loved this more than New York, which also kicked ass.

  • This movie was not as bad as its reputation, that being said, it was not a good film, but was definitely enjoyable and I did not have to work to watch it. The first one was just too good and this one just a bad copy made forJohn carpenter and Kurt Russell to make more money off of characters they already established. (Which didn't happen)

  • 2 people thought snake is dead.

  • This movie is whit out a doubt, inferior to the first film. But it was nowhere near as bad as I was told. I actually had a great time watching this movie, even if this movie felt really silly and campy at times.

    Also, I kinda liked the ending.

  • @ThatMan0verThere

    I might be the only one but I actually thought it was better, it did a better job in spreading its messages imho

  • Thanks for the info/thoughts guys. I like the original theme a lot. But I felt that this one had just great beat to it. Carpenter certainly knows how to craft soundtracks.

  • meh.

  • they should totaly make a VG form this movie, maybe something like a fallout New Vegas, GTA style game.

  • Anyone else prefer this version of the theme over the original?

  • @mfranko989 I do, I like the whole rock sound it's just awesome.

  • @mfranko989 neh, the original is way better

  • @mfranko989 yes I like this theme song version better

  • @mfranko989 The Escape from New York theme was much quieter and gave a much stealthier feel to the movie. This movie, Escape from L.A, was a generally louder film, with less stealthy quiet scenes. The movie was a bit more All Guns Blazing than the first, so it makes sense that the theme song thrashes more ass than the first one =)
