![]() ![]() It's a shame this movie didn't work out, we could have enjoyed Escape From Mars instead of Ghosts of Mars." If you're not enjoying the ride by the time Pam Grier's Hershey appears, you've long missed the boat. It's campier with a thick tongue-in-cheek sense of humor. Sure, it's of the same story metal as Escape From New York, but then it doesn't try to set the world on fire. With Russell as a cowriter with Carpenter, you can see how this movie was actually an excuse for two old friends to hang out again. The movie progresses from one over-the-top set piece to the next bringing with them a bunch of great characters along the way - Bruce Campbell will always be a favorite moment. Russell was still a solid leading presence in the 90s and he slips back into the leather duds, beard stubble, and eyepatch with ease. While a bit pointed, Escape From L.A. isn't just the grumblings of a crotchety old man, you can also see that Carpenter and Russell are having a hell of a great time with this one. But the satire continues for all walks of 90s American life right up to Cliff Robertson essentially playing a fascist version of Pat Robertson. You follow that progression you can see why Carpenter would have some barbs for the industry. They were either forgettable and not really "his" - Memoirs of an Invisible Man, grossly under-appreciated - In the Mouth of Madness, or dumped into theaters and scorned by critics after a recent national tragedy - Village of the Damned. Especially when you look at the films he'd made in the 90s up to that point. With the call for more sequels and a push for cheap-looking CGI effects, it's easy to see where he would be interested in making a takedown of the industry hand that feeds him. ![]() "As I've gotten older and I've repeatedly devoured John Carpenter's films and watched and/or read interviews - I feel like Escape From L.A. is his comedically cynical response to where the Hollywood film industry was going.

"It has come to our attention that there is an English audio encoding error on the new 4K Ultra HD Disc of John Carpenter’s Escape from L.A. In what feels like record time, Paramount is getting a disc replacement program in place to have corrected discs out ASAP. We've heard back from our Paramount rep - they are aware of the audio issue and are currently working on a correction, they'll be sending over details as soon as it's available. If you're you're happy with the Scream Factory disc, wait for a good sale price before upgrading. However, no audio upgrade and the lack of any important bonus features of any kind make this a true bare bones disc. Now Paramount Home Entertainment gives this sequel the 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray upgrade with an excellent Dolby Vision transfer. More focused on industry satire than delivering anything new or original for the franchise, the film is still a lot of fun. or one of its affiliates.Kurt Russell and John Carpenter join forces once again to give Snake Plissken another round of action in Escape from L.A.
