Escape from L.A. [Blu-Ray] [Region Free] (English audio. English subtitles)

Excellent action packed movie better than the first movieWell pleased with

Good movie

John Carpenter and Kurt Russell team up again to tell another story about the crazy and daring exploits of "Snake Plissken", criminal renegade supreme. The story which is set in the near future is along similar lines as "Escape from New York" but is set on the West coast of America in Los Angeles instead. The plot is slightly different to the first film and can be considered formulaic by nature but is no less enjoyable. The costumes and sets are very good and make the dystopian feel of future L.A. completely believable and engrossing to experience. This film is a Sci-fi romp with a little gore and black humour thrown in for good measure, as only John Carpenter can deliver it. If you love John Carpenters other films then chances are that you will love this one too. If you haven't seen any of John Carpenter's films then this film is a great introduction to crazy world of John Carpenter's mind and it will bring you many hours of enjoyment. I you loved "Mad Max" then this is right up your street!

Yet again another cool action sci-fi from the master of genre movies John Carpenter, although its not quite as good as the original its still allot of fun and certainly still stands up as a cult classic sequel, the story is pretty much the same as before accept its L.A that's now also been sectioned off and the whole island is now a prison, the presidents daughter with the black box has fallen into terrorist hands within the walls of L.A and only one man can save the day, Snake is captured once again and promised a full pardon for the bad things he's been doing between movies, this time around there's plenty more action and shootouts and going underwater, flying, and lots of crazy effects, some of the effects are a tad cheesy but its the mid 90's and they still look cool, the cast has a few more famous faces this time with Steve Buscemi, Valeria Golino, Pam Grier, Bruce Campbell. if your a fan of the original then certainly pick it up.Blu-ray picture looks great in HD (USA import)Features are a little lacking there is only a trailer,Region Free plays in the UK, 100-mins, 1996.

Gosh I love Kurt Russell as he is, but as Snake Plissken he is even more of a dish.The storyline though very futuristic, and kinda ewwie in some parts(wacky beverly hills surgeons*scary*lol) still very believable, loved the surfing hehe.Anyways this is a short review, but it is so because i have nothing bad to state, Ive watched this film over 30 times and still id go back for more, but then K.R. also is one of my two favourite actors.lol.The characters are awesomely chosen like in NY, Im really glad Kurt was Plissken again, as S.P. simply would not have been the same without him.The accent Kurt puts on is just sexy and nothing but.Kinda hate the fact the poor guy always gets to walk away with a terrible limp.Nice touch he sets out world electricity in the end, it summons his character up again from tearing the tape in Escape from NY to this, its the sort of thing Snake Plissken would do.*swoons* Truely wish S.P. was "real" lol, he is like the guy you have always desired or always wanted to be.

My favourite xmas movie of all time

Even I Thought Snake Plisken Was Dead.Great Follow On Film, Plenty Of Action, Humour And Kurt Russell Is Still A Good Action Star.Interesting Supporting Cast And Screen Play.
