i heard you were dead

ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK (1981)

Reasons to like it:

*Kurt Russell in the role he was always meant to play: the ultimate badass.

*AWESOME score.

*Excellent cinematography/lighting (Ridley Scott's Blade Runner is very reminiscent in look and feel, which would make sense considering they used the same set for the model of the city.)

*Isaac Hayes as the Duke of New York being totally radical

*Planes landing on top of the World Trade Centers

Reasons Not to Like it:

*None I could think of.

Grade: 10/10

  1. AHH I love this post. And, I had no idea they used the same set for Blade Runner, such good trivia.
