From what I recall, the production values haven't held up nearly as well as something like The Thing, but for an early 80s futuristic flick, it ain't bad. Still, like you say, it's all about Russell's baddasery and that cast. Oh, and Adrienne Barbeau's massive chest.Dylanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03337478312308606554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-332312589214574085.post-43184577018037138042012-05-30T10:25:54.689-05:002012-05-30T10:25:54.689-05:00My advice would be to leave Escape from LA well al...My advice would be to leave Escape from LA well alone. It is utter drivel and one of Carpenter's very worst films.<br /><br />New York on the other hand is a great little b movie but I agree with you - Big Trouble is fun in a crazy - what the bloomin' heck is going on - kind of way. The Thing, however, remains my favourite Carpenter film.Danhttp://www.top10films.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-332312589214574085.post-63872124706899902462012-05-23T13:19:25.532-05:002012-05-23T13:19:25.532-05:00I've always liked Escape From L.A. more - not ...I've always liked Escape From L.A. more - not because it's a better film (because its not) - I've always just found it to be more fun.Alex Jowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11737798466816750685noreply@blogger.com
