Escape From New York SoundTrack - John Carpenter 80s

[goldensolder44]

Fun Fact: Carpenter set the story of the movie after the watergate scandal

[goldensolder44]

Best song ever

[metalstormimpaler]

"You are the Duke of New York, You are A #1."

[rafapxkin]

Still is my favorite movie, since i was 8 years old and had the vhs.

[holicat098]

Carpenter is unique!

[RaikenXion]

Fuckin awesome the movie and soundtrack, Escape from New York is one of those movies that has a genre of its own. They can make remakes, sequels to it, whatever they want, but they'll never capture that same feel.

[lonelyprophetrecords]

This song is the sound the empty can return machine makes.

[davko79]

They re-used this in Beverly Hills Cop 2 - sounds identical!

[22centman36]

@davko79 they didnt reuse it for bev cop 2, but faltmeyer was influenced by the disco pop cow bell sound used in many songs. Faltmeyer didnt set out to copy this soundtrack even though both sounds very very similar.

[vTHExUNKNOWENv]

The duke is comming, the BIG man thats who!.

[MrGSWAGG92]

Holy shit i cant stand the sound at 3:01 lol!!!

[Dedukrovski]

Great song and movie. The Thing is the best movie... not the best Carpenter, the best of all times, including the soundtrack. But I love this ost too... I'm looking for the song of the now extinct John Carpenter myspace forum, that was great.

[kev3d]

Music legend Bruce Dickinson produced this song.

[JonnyBoy241]

why can't movies be like this any more?? I was born in the same year as this and I tell you what I wish I was old enough to see it in theaters.

[22centman36]

@JonnyBoy241 hollywood at that time was searching for a new kind of movie and post apocalptic thrillers were very popular during the early to mid 80's, they went out of style once the cop show boom of miami vice and law and order came into popularity. then hollywood started majorly cutting budgets to everything so for many years after that they just couldnt aford to make future movies.

[MrChuntaro81]

@Quark130 lmao!!!!!



[jesusnavarret]

Directors need to stop being afraid to make movies like these!

[duffenstein]

Don't cross the Duke...everybody knows that....

[divideitiamat]

Call me Snake

[lenowin]

I totally could see myself driving down the street with a chandelier on the hood of my car while blasting this CD.

[gptvproductions]

@lenowin You must be the Duke! A number one! King of New York!

[TheCerberusInferno]

Snake Plissken , that's a real man , a real warrior .

[JRHartly1984]

Carpenter was and is a genius. God that man makes classic movies!!!

[Ebolacrash]

@JRHartly1984 ...was a genius? last time i checked which was 5 minutes ago , the man is still alive asshole

[JRHartly1984]

@Ebolacrash "was and is" - learn to read dickhead!

[DEL791]

Cool tune cool film. no remake please.

[kuhndog52]

always think of dukes caddi with the chandeliers on the hood.

[ThatMan0verThere]

I love this movie.

[schizorobot]

1:12..........1:22..........2:­34..........3:01

[technologic21]

This movie and The Warriors - best soundtracks of all time.

[gombie]

@technologic21

Don't Forget Midnight Express!

[saidif1981]

@technologic21 Assualt on precinct 13 has some good music too .

[alicemckin]

@technologic21 can you dig it/ love both these movies,classic.

[spiritusinvacuo]

@technologic21 ARE YOU ME????? :)

[WeizHerGigBuddy]

[Meomi37]

@WeizHerGigBuddy Agree :D

[chuckyko]

I need more cowbell, baby!!!

[Nosensefornonsense]

kick ass movie

[SAVAGEONE82]

so cool!

[duffenstein]

Your the duke...your A#1!! This is without a doubt one of the classics. Kurt Russell's best movie by far and away.

[ViciousCannibal]

I'll always remember those chandeliers hanging on The Duke's ride. So fly.

[DESTROYER1609]

John Carpenter ein Genie und Meister seiner Art.

Gut das er jetzt wieder gas gibt und in die nächste zwei jahre schon drei Filme plant einer "The ward kommt schon demnächst

[Chikagba]

THE DUKE...A NUMBER 1!!!!!!

[Soundtrack1000]

@Chikagba cant hear you!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rishi851]

Am I the only one who prefers Escape from NY to Escape from LA ?

Seems to be so .....anyone please mention and I'll feel better

[Loquei]

EFNY was a great movie- original, chilling (the crazies were the first take on the 'sprinting cannibals" I can remember, years before we had "28 days later". EFLA copied a number of scenes through poor script writing- the basketball sudden death game, the switch at the end- EFLA should have been so much better and sadly wasn't. It was disappointing to say the least. Kurt was okay, but it felt he was going through the motions instead of acting. It's, very sadly, a poor sequel.

[RustedCaltrop]

You wanna see him splattered all over that map baby .. where's the president?

[landocalrision]

@RustedCaltrop rockin

[andypandy474]

@teegs1972

The United States is a non-smoking nation. No smoking, no drugs, no alcohol, no women; unless of course you're married, no foul language and no red meat!

[HopllyteAlpha]

You know what they did to Fresno Bob?.....

[Hefaj91]

amazing

[RawekVamp]

More cowbell!

[HelplessMammal]

You don't want to meet the Duke! You meet the Duke and you end up dead!

[Strider1978]

How good is this? No, don't answer that, you already know :)

[joelopeztube]

this is the theme song to my in laws when they arrive, then when they leave. yes, they are that bad. thats when I escape from my house. anyway, this movie is A #1.

[twoslices]

Gimme some lovin' sounds like.

[TheAltair4]

" YOU'RE A NUMBER ONE! YOU'RE THE DUKE! YOU'RE THE DUKE! "

[Soundtrack1000]

@TheAltair4 cant year you!!!!!!!!

[TheAltair4]

@Soundtrack1000 lol!

[hectorial]

I just bought the LP. Amazing. John Carpenter is the best.

[SSGTCOLOSSUS]

does anyone know what kind of car the duke drives? i know its a caddy but what model?

[WingChunTactics]

@SSGTCOLOSSUS - Lincoln or Caddy?

[SonOfAldabarran]

@SSGTCOLOSSUS 1977 Cadillac Fleetwood (Straight from IMCDb . com)

[JiggaJagga]

He's the Duke of New York, he's A number 1 !!!!

[DetroitLove4U]

Smooth kickin' ass score from a legendary cinema musical wizard and a phenomenal movie all around a true 80's gem!!!

[liobart]

john carpenter is a god

[sticsi]

Good video...

[imperialcrypt]

that movie poster in the video. I have a giant one of those framed in glass my room. One of my favorite movies.

[moonshadow387]

I just saw diz movie yesterday.

it was awsome!

[EspioArtwork]

Catch it Tomorrow on G4 Channel 191 (Dish Network)

[EspioArtwork]

Clash of the TV-14-S

[vTHExUNKNOWENv]

The Duke A% Num (1)

[moonshadow387]

@vTHExUNKNOWENv Wait, was he duke the black guy?

[vTHExUNKNOWENv]

@moonshadow387 Sure Was.. The Big Man

[Justdisco]

listen to the intro of beverly hills cop 2 I think harold faltermeyer has copied it .

[blackshogun77]

@Justdisco Just, he did copy the opening music to escape. I mean you got the cowbell, the ticking noise like a clock is ticking down, all we need is that base to kick in and Brigette Nielson to jump out of a limo

[abSOULuteD]

Funny how the first few seconds I think of Beverly Hill Cop 2 haha.

[BlueFox284]

Man, I love this movie. . .One of my all time favorites.

This track is one those songs that gets in your head when relatives (you completely hate or dislike) roll up in your driveway. . .

[copsondonuts]

yeah ive seen more than one young kid get into these classics. surprisingly they get just as attached to em as we did. after watching this one night, my friend's son said "that was awesome". let em watch "the thing" too lolol

[serpiente11]

you are the duke of new york you are the number one

[MasterJediKyleKatarn]

@serpiente11 It's A number 1. LOL

[fyadcorp]

I CANT HEAR YOU

[DeformerNF]

the author is john carpenter himself as all of his old movies

sonmg may be "THE DUKE" or somethink

[casaccia23]

what is the title and the author of this song?

[OISSELAtube]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

[SirMick84]

You can't meet the Duke! Are you crazy? Nobody gets to meet the Duke. You meet him once and then you're dead!

[welshman40sw]

prefer the orginal tune but this is good cos it includes the "duke a bit " so its catchy

[johnnyphoenix74]

Early Carpenter....you can't beat it....

[johnnyphoenix74]

Greatest soundtrack ever.

[stanleguetto]

It still sounds so good ! Carpenter is a great director AND musician .

[hempnight250]

this is my favorite film im 16 and i hope they will make film like that CLASSIC

[nicknasty14]

haha, well im a little bit older than you in my 30s and its great to see todays youth catching on to such cult classics like this. you have to search for the classic movies these days as there are tons of them to be found. im still searching. this is still one of my all time favorites! i recommend mad max 1 and the road warrior if you like this! all time favs!

[devilknowsyou]

@nicknasty14

Couldn't have said it better myself! I turned 30 in November and grew up with these kind of movies and I am thankful for it. I went through three tapes of Escape all in all because I watched them so often, the cassettes literally fell apart LOL!!

There is something about these movies that cannot be done again.

Have you ever seen The Warriors by Walter Hill?

Awesome movie, too!!

But nothing beats Plissken! My all time favourite lone gunmen character!

[nicknasty14]

of course ive heard of the warriors, i own it on dvd. im in the process of checking out 1990 the bronx warriors which looks like a rip off of escape from ny and warriors. check out the trailer on here. there is even a gang in there that look like the baseball furies mixed with the hi hats. looks pretty classic. i have special edition escape that includes the deleted opening scene as well as a comic book. just ordered it on blue ray as well. classic movie! its a toss up between mad max and escape

[devilknowsyou]

There you go, a man of my taste. I got the german special edition of Escape, also including the deleted opening and commentary by Carpenter and Russell.

Nice, but not as entertaining as Carpenter and Piper on They life.

Never saw The Bronx Warriors looks great, though!

I just like the raw atmosphere of these movies.

Ever saw Fighting Centurions (if that's the US title) by Lucio Fulci? Just got a very rare german uncut DVD, but

could not see it yet...

PEACE!!

[matrixlone]

@devilknowsyou yea so far the expendables with stallone has and 80s action feel to it in a way although i grew up in the 90s

[matrixlone]

@devilknowsyou also dosent planet terror have an 80s feel to it

[manowaraxbjj]

the 80's had some awesome music thanks John Carpenter!

[Naomi0111]

This is a fantasic movie and a great score!.I hope they don't remake it.just digitaly remaster the original if they havn't done so already & let the youth of today see what great films were released in the early 80's in their entirety.

[Ericzeppe]

@Naomi0111

They are already remaking it :(, and the youth today ( ADD generation) cant sit still long enough for some real character developments, so they will probably hate this movie or find it boring

[monty12341]

ITS in the works....300 dude playing pliskin

[madmaxninja08]

it's been scrapped. Gerad Butler will not play Snake.

[Ebolacrash]

@monty12341 OMG NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOO MORE REMAKES

[monty12341]

This needs to be remade....best movie

[new01tj]

noooooo

[smpblogger]

chandeliers on top of the hood = pimp

[kerblesRHCP]

best film invented

best soundtrack invented

anybody hoo disses this will get a fukin slap okay

[LufsyLurqy]

@kerblesRHCP I don't think it's the best film ever made... and there is no best film ever made. There just isn't a movie that is just completely excellent and perfect in every way. People can have favourites and opinions though.

[ziggy72170]

Total ,, Kurt Russell Fan !!!!! This movie,,, and "The Thing" ..... The opening music in each one is so Ominous, rather Scary......

[Vitruviux]

@ziggy72170 Yea, exactly. Love both opening themes.

[kavedude77]

I'm the duke A number 1.

[thebaconboy]

*shoots*

"YOU'RE DUKE... BUT I'M NUMBER 1"

[baddog7676]

John Carpenter could be the greatest composer in cinematic history.

Between him and Goblin. Both of them made some amazing soundtracks!

[furyplum44]

"Hey this is a real one, you just get in?"

"What's going on out there?"

"Crazies...end of the month, they're out of food..."

LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!

[5916michelangelo]

[chrisjgarcia]

Love the movie. Love the soundtrack.

[CuRrAn55]

I cannot thank you enough for posting this Video. You are my Hero. This was my favorite track throughout the entire movie and I finally get to enjoy listening to it, thanks to you. By the way, "Call me Snake."

[ArmorAsylum13]

[EVDsigner]
