Snake (who was never the most even-tempered of men) gets to crash an extremely expensive boat into a buggered Los Angeles after being forced there by a woman I swear I've seen in a Stallone movie. After his arrival he kills just about everyone he comes across whilst scowling a lot and wearing a vest. Amongst the targets of Snake's unreasonable temper are a man who's dressed like Che Guevara, a REALLY freaky looking plastic surgery guy, and loads of Mad Max movie extras on motorbikes. After escaping LA by the skin of his teeth alongside Foxy Brown, Snake (who by this stage is bloody furious) throws the human race back into the stone age ... presumably because it's got on his nerves. God alone knows what would happen if Snake found himself yet again forced to go on some wild goose chase around say, Las Vegas? If he did I would recommend we all found a different planet to live on, just to be on the safe side.

This is the movie George Miller (Mad Max Beyond the Thunderdome) might have made in kindergarten. It had an intriguing premise, and fell completely apart in execution. It was trite, boring and lame. The violence was as silly and chaotic as Monty Python's women's club reenacting WW II in a football field, in drag. Kurt Russell's Snake character was so one-dimensional it could equally well have been played by a Chatty Cathy action figure. The special effects looked like something out of a primary school play. The only character you have any sympathy for, a Muslim woman exiled for her religion, dies in the first reel. You don't care if someone decapitates Snake, or the president's daughter, or the president. _Everybody_ in this movie is obnoxious. You don't even care if the whole world blows up if all it contains are the greedy, loud-mouth, losers that populate this film. I give the writers credit for an emotionally satisfying ending to a movie without heroes.

No this is not Escape from New York. Instead it is great action, fun parody of the first film. Some excellent touches, fine acting and good direction. Bold, ambitious and BIG.... This movie is a classic.

This movie is one of the worst movies by John Carpenter. It borrows heavily from the Escape from NY movie without success. The plot is lame and the acting is non-existent. Lets hope there are no more Escape movies.

Make this movie again, just as hardcore, same cast. Make it again, modern, even more evil/gorey

Escape from L.A. (1996) was the long awaited sequel to John Carpenter's cult classic Escape From New York. Snake Plisken is in trouble again with the law. After receiving a presidential pardon for his daring rescue of the former president from New York City, the new president has his own personal problems, such as running a police state that seems to be on the verge of collapse and his runaway daughter who was persuaded by a charismatic revolutionary leader leader who's living in the penal colony of Los Angeles. Can Snake bring back the daughter home to daddy? Will this be a quasi remake of the first film? Who will help Snake this time? Find out as Snake Plisken tries to Escape from L.A. An entertaining sequel, not a classic like the original but it's fun. A lot of "hot" stars from the 90's appear in small parts as well. Cliff Robertson plays the president, Peter Fonda cameos as a surfer dude and Pam Grier makes a guest star appearance as well. Recommended

Snake Plissken, one of the coolest characters ever created becomes a satire of himself. I wanted to love this movie. I'm a huge fan of the original. However its not that great. The only reason to give this 5 stars was out of appreciation of actually seeing another Plissken movie. I would be interested in a quality (QUALITY) reboot akin to Fury Road. This film diminishes everything great about Snake.

Many complain that the sequel to Escape from New York is basically the same movie but much dumber. But that is the point, this movie is what the first one was always meant to be. John Carpenter finally had a big budget to make a badass, ridiculous, action-packed Snake Plissken movie that he wanted to make. Escape from NY had a great concept but due to the budget it was kind of slow, this one just takes it to a whole other level with Snake making full court basketball shots to save his life and surfing a fricking tsunami! Despite all this it still has the political commentary of the first. I love this movie, I love Snake Plissken and I wish the 3rd movie Escape from Earth was made back in the day.

Certainly better visual candy than the prequel (Escape from N.Y.), but otherwise point for point similar script only with slight variations and with many stereotypical addons a little utopic and outdated for their time, never mind outdated and naively played out. That's not 2013, more like 1998, again, but the effects are decent for its time. Great as for 1996, not so good as much later. Augmented with a colorful array of nuts and loonies, but the stererotypes almost ruin it. Communist rebels, Cuban attacks and a deeply religious fundamentalist president but unrealistic tech. Otherwise, good-ole times fun, like how REAL films were made, back in those days. Action fans don't miss it.
