Snake Plissken is once again called in by the United States government to recover a potential doomsday device from Los Angeles, now an autonomous island where undesirables are deported.
The year is 2013 and Snake Plissken is back but this time it's L.A., which through the agency of earthquakes has become an island of the damned. But something has gone wrong in this new moral order, because the President's daughter has absconded to L.A. with a detonation device, and Snake is commandeered to retrieve it. But just below the surface there is a coiled Snake ready to strike.
Like Escape from New York, Escape from LA is not to be taken seriously. Instead it is a social commentary on the politically correct attitude that society seems to have adopted. Escape From New York poked fun at the establishment as it was in the early eighties, as does Escape From LA with the politically correct nineties. I mean the whole film laughs at what western society has become. Looked at this way the movie is amusingly good, if taken seriously the film is seen as slow and misguided. Carpenter never meant the character of Snake Plisken to be seen as Rambo, he is a combination of cliched characters from other action films, all be it with some extra bite. Kurt Russell's performance in both films is spot on, and worth the price of a rental alone. The only thing lacking in EFLA is for some reason at least 1/3 of the visual effects seem poorly executed. I put this down to the fact that the movie had an enormous scale, and unlike movies such as Lost In Space there were budget restrictions. All in all a good movie. 6.5/10.
I didn't see "Escape From L.A." in theatres, but I do remember seeing the trailer for it when I was there to see something else, and I will never forget the whoop of joy that arose from the audience when the words "SNAKE IS BACK" appeared on screen. Unfortunately, when the film was released that joy apparently didn't translate into big box office money, and the film sank pretty quickly. Despite that, I thought "Escape From L.A." was a fun ride when I finally saw it on video sometime later. Like most B-Movie fans, I had loved 1981's "Escape From New York," but I had honestly seen it so many times over the years that I had made myself sick of it; therefore I was simply happy to see Snake Plissken in a new adventure.

The main problem is that "Escape From L.A." isn't exactly a "new" adventure - it's basically a re-tread of the first movie, just with a new location (the West Coast) and with a whole lot of cheap CGI thrown in. Kurt Russell's still bad-ass as Plissken of course, and it's fun to see him in action again, I just wish they'd done more with the story.

This time it's 2013, and Los Angeles has been separated from the mainland U.S. after a massive earthquake. The uber-religious U.S. President for life (a hilariously over the top Cliff Robertson) has declared L.A. to be a "sinful" place and it is now used as a dumping ground for anyone unlucky enough to get deported from the "new" America for smoking, for eating red meat, for practicing the wrong religion, or thinking for themselves. L.A. is controlled by a gangster/revolutionary named Cuervo Jones, who is amassing an army in preparation for taking back the American mainland. His assistant is the President's turncoat daughter Utopia, who has stolen an important "black box" from Air Force One containing some sort of ultimate weapon and is now part of Cuervo's gang. The President and his men know there's only one man bad-ass enough to recover the girl and the package before the invasion - Snake Plissken, who's now in federal custody after an unexplained adventure in Cleveland. Once more, Plissken is impressed into service (via an injection of a virus that will kill him if he doesn't return in 12 hours) and dropped into the ruins of L.A., where he runs afoul of just about everybody in the city on the way to complete his mission. His trek through L.A. leads to mucho ass kicking and some funny bits featuring dependable character actors like Steve Buscemi ("Map to the Stars Eddie"), Bruce Campbell (as the insane "Surgeon General"), Pam Grier ("Her-She") and Peter Fonda (as a survivalist/surfer dude). It's all very light hearted and un-pretentious, which is fine by me.

Much criticism has been thrown at the film's use of (cheap) C.G.I. I'll say that it works well in creating the ruined landscape of Los Angeles, giving the backgrounds the feel of a comic book, but when Snake and Fonda the Surfer dude ride a wave caused by a tsunami into the middle of the city, the effect is so obviously fake that you can't help but roll your eyes. Still, Russell and the rest of the cast are clearly having a ball and as with most Carpenter films, there's a sly sense of social satire throughout the proceedings.

"Escape From L.A." is not a classic by any means and "Escape from New York" is still the superior movie, but it's still worth a watch if you catch it on late-night TV or find it in the Wal-Mart $5 DVD bin (which is where I got mine).
A monumentally misconceived sequel, Escape from L. A. is the huge, shonky blemish on the magnificent history of John Carpenter and Kurt Russell.
Director John Carpenter commented just before the release of Escape From L.A. (1996) that IF this movie was successful then he would consider a third movie and that the only place left for Snake to escape from would be Earth. "Escape From Earth" was just an idea - Carpenter never even gave that title, it's just something people assumed it would be called.

Escape From L.A. evidentley was not a commercial success and so the idea of a third movie went no further than Carpenter's comment. Depends on your point of view. Snake's decision is to essentially turn Earth's history back to the Victorian era, pre-electricity, where a man like him would flourish as a self-reliant gunfighter and despeardo. On the other hand it's suggested that humankind has deteriorated into tyranny so he essentially tears a corrupt society down and replaces it with a more egalitarian society 'Cabin in the Woods' style instead. a5c7b9f00b
