>character named Brain>is actually a moronEscape from New York is kino
>>220486835hes a genius relative to the people around him
Does he even do anything to show him being either smart or stupid? The only thing I remember is that he figures out where the glider is, but that doesn't seem like much to me. Pretty much his entire character is just knowing where the President is because he works with The Duke, then following Snake around doing nothing.
>>220486936He can't read a map, gets Cabby killed, immediately dies himself because he insists on following his map reading.
>>220486936Built an oil pump AND a refinery.
>>220486835>Escape from New York is kinoit started out strong then once you actually get to new york the movie is garbage mad max-lite. Nonsensical world building.
>>220487022This is mostly how I felt. Great atmosphere up until he meets Brain. I do really like the theater section and the escape from The Crazies. After that it falls off really hard. Zero tension, zero atmosphere, nothing interesting happens. The Duke is massive wasted potential, and Donald Pleasance is so horribly miscast he brings down every scene he's in.
>>220487022>filteredNotice that Snake survives his time inside the Manhattan complex even though he's never been there, which tells you the world outside is just as bad if not worse than the prison.By not showing the real world, Carpenter is saying a lot with less.
>>220487222Thank you Grok
>>220486835escape from LA was better
>>220486835It's because he had the big tiddie gf
>illiterate homeless street urchin criminal teenage punk girl who grew up in a mad max style open air prison>"Snake? the green berret military hero from before my time? of course I've heard of you! everyone knows you Snake!"
>>220488099hes actually a famous criminal that fights against the system
I like the director and all of the actors and the premise and yet I found this movie dull and shitty
Holy shit Adrienne Barbeau turned 80 last year & has been in something every year since 1976https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000105/?ref_=tt_cst_t_8
