That's the first time they really did a great job of showing invisibility with depth as far as the effects go. Previously if someone was wearing bandages who was invisible, you wouldn't see the other side (the bandages on the back of their head) as they were unwrapped. Memoirs did this in a bunch of cases like where you see floating tennis clothes as he's playing. The objects actually have volume instead of just being cut out. Hollow Man took it to the next level a decade later.

David Cronenberg and David Lynch would be interesting since it seems like both Mike and Rich wouldn’t be fans of either.

I'm so glad they mentioned the ending to Escape from L.A., easily the best part of the movie. John Carpenter is a master of endings. I never really saw Escape from New York as an action film, more like a post apocalyptic punk espionage film. Snake is sort of John Carpenter's take on an American James Bond of sorts (not intentionally). I remember Siskel actually loving Vampires due to James Woods' performance in it, he actually said Woods deserved an Oscar nomination for it I think.

The ending to Escape from LA is so incredibly badass. It's not even so much that Snake sent humanity back hundreds of years. It's the fact that if they hadn't tried to screw him over or if the president wasn't actively about to murder his own daughter Snake might not have done it. It's that final act of betrayal and savagery that sends him over the edge. Even after everything Snake has been through and seen he still gave one final chance for humanity to redeem itself and they failed it. Plus, the shot of Snake's cigarette fading into the darkness is a badass shot. Snake'll be fine in the new world, it's everyone else that's fucked.

Fun fact: Vampires is based on the book "Vampire$" by John Steakley who wrote the sci-fi classic, "Armor". The main characters of both books share the same names - Jack Crow and Felix.

@0neDoomedSpaceMarine

2 жыл бұрын

Yeah, I agree a lot. I also want to say that, it wasn't just that Manhattan had become so unbelievably shitty, but it was because the Cold War went hot and World War 3 had happened. Manhattan was struck by a nerve gas attack by the Soviets, the nerve gas driving the residents completely shitmad, thus the effort to wall the city off and turning the island into a prison colony. There were many prominent cities both on the US side and the Soviet side which had seen similar fates from weapons of mass destruction. The reason Snake wears an eyepatch is that in a battle with the Soviet Union, the US employed poison gas, and Snake's gasmask didn't seal properly. I think this was actually even done without warning, hence why Snake feels so betrayed, for his lost comrades and for his lifelong scar and disability. I really like the semi-apocalyptic nature of the setting of Escape From New York, where the world hasn't been turned into Mad Max or Fallout, but everything really went to shit anyway and mankind is in some really dark days. That's actually why I feel split about the ending to Escape From Los Angeles, because that takes it full into apocalyptic territory (even though it's kind of justified).

@stranger59

@@0neDoomedSpaceMarine I think it's a great natural conclusion in part because as a semi-apocalypse, those in power stay in power as the world still falls into ruin. Those at the top played the fiddle while the world burned, but still got to keep playing after. They never were stuck on the level everyone else had to suffer. Snake just does a Thanos to make everything "balanced", i.e. everyone is screwed, and no one is above feeling how bad it really is. You know Snake won't live to see the world get any better... but maybe it will, maybe it won't.

9:58 You're exactly right about Vampires having lots of improv. In the commentary track on (at least) the DVD, they admit to a lot of Wood's best lines being improv. Apparently the deal he had with Carpenter was that he would give Carpenter one satisfactory take to script, and then he got to do a few takes where he made up his own shit. Turned out he had a pretty good take on the character.

Ever read the Stephen King novella The Running Man? The character's name and the fact that it's a game show that tries to kill you are the only things they kept for the movie. The original book didn't even take place in a contained building, he was just supposed to roam the USA and mail in a videotaped "letter" once a day. If any citizen spotted him they'd phone it in and a kill squad would try to track him down. Always hated it when movies buy the rights to a book just to use the title and the author's name. Mainly because it prevents someone else from making an actual movie of the book.
