Kurt Russell Revisits 'Escape from New York' At EW CapeTown Film Festival | Entertainment Weekly

Kurt Russell should get an award for his hair
And his beard =P
Hair and his beard
Yep his hair hasn't receded a bit since he was a young man
Yeah 👍
Instablaster...
A film where he plays Old Snake, where he is worn out and battered and even more reluctant, with a fresh story, that would kick arse.
George Havenhand I'm 100% down for that. It'd be so epic.
+George Havenhand only one major US Hotspot left to escape from......Escape From Miami
+George Havenhand he could be wearing two eye patches.
+Purposeful Porpoise or Escape from Chicago
Escape from America
takes place many years after he set off that world wide EMP
everybody hates him for "killing" the world, but some see him as some kinda savior because he caused humanity to start anew.
He's old and on the verge of death when he's infected by an age increasing drug, and is on a race against time as the only cure is across the borders of mexico, which are guarded by an army of road pirates.
It'd be like Mad Max mixed with Equilibrium.
The most UNDERRATED actor of all time.
Amin!
SharksRule86 he has never made enough movies. he might have been the bomb in the early 90s
Kurt Russell is THE Man.
@@jefferydraper4019 Might have been? Are you kidding me? The dude went from a Disney movie star to being involved in iconic films like Tombstone, The Thing, Escape From New York, Big Trouble in Little China, Tango and Cash etc. Just because he hasn't done a billion movies doesn't devalue his skills as an actor and class as a person. Heck, I'd rather star in three all time great movies than a thousand crappy ones.
@@kendallrivers1119 You miss my point. Yes, he had quality roles. I just wanted to see more of him when he was younger in roles that he would have excelled at. Its like eating 8 great meals all your life...then having to live on Ramen the rest of the time due to someone cutting off the supply to great food.
this man is a freakin icon...hands down one of the greatest actors in the last 30 years or more...the names Plisken.........
Amen to that.
Double and triple amen to that.
its call me snake
Call me snake lol
Aye. Kirt Russell is the man. Wyatt erp. Snake plissken. Who could fill his boots for the remake of new York. I'm thinking anthony Starr. Aka lukas from banshee. It's the obvious choice man.
I'd like to see him play Bigboss. He could totally pull it off.
look it up. the game is based off snake. game snake iroquoy pliskin. movie. snake pliskin. hideo has a old artical talking about it and so dose the wiki
al theway Yeah, I know. Metal Gear Solid is basically just an amalgamation of all the greatest Hollywood action classics from the 1980's.
- Escape from New York
- Rambo
- Terminator
- Starwars
- G.I. Jane
- Robo-cop
+LIQUIDSNAKEz28 Amalgamation*
He was one of the guys rumoured to play Snake in the Metal Gear film when there was talks about it with Kojima but sadly it never went ahead, Russell Crow was another one, that could have been great too but Kurt Russell's the man for it.
I mean, he IS snake, so.....
Kurt YOU GOTTA team up with John Carpenter one more time. Legendary Director/Actor duo
escape from la sucked imo. an exact clone of escape from new york
+southweststrangla420 So no one is telling them to go make another Escape From LA... not every movie is always a smash hit. Doesn't mean all future movies will be crappy ( and I only thought it was kinda meh, not full on sucking. Definitely cheesy and a product of the 90s, but I find that charming sometimes. )
@@DeathBringer769 Tango And Cash
@@southweststrangla420 escape from LA kicked ass!
Kurt Russell was the man in the 80's and 90's and he's still the man now! The Thing, Big Trouble in Little China, Tombstone, Elvis and of course Escape From New York, this dude's got one helluva resume. Actors of this ilk are few and far between these last few decades.
Old man Snake played by Kurt Russell again! Bad ass!
Rock&rollinaD yeah it'd be kind of like Logan it'll be a good way to end his character
Call me snake
Kurt Russell is one of the greats. Would absolutely love to see Snake Plissken again.
John MacReady in ‘The Thing’ was my favorite Russell performance. Followed by Wyatt Earp in ‘Tombstone’...arguably the best Western movie ever made. Followed by just about every Russell performance after that. I’m typing this as I’m watching ‘Big Trouble in Little China’. Legendary actor
Escape from America...smart move. Snake ends up in Australia and meets Mad Max.... How cool would that be? With Mel of course!!
A defining role for the man, bad ass film... "CALL ME SNAKE"... to think they did Escape from NY and The Thing.. bad ass
Kurt Russell is looking good 4 his age I know guys in there 40's who look older than him in this
God I think Kurt could still slap on the eyepatch and make a really good sequel. With no technology he and Carpenter could create a really interesting post-apocalyptic western.
They did make a sequel.
@@gregbrandon1717 But we need more
You did great, Snake ! Thanx for all the years of entertainment, Kurt !!!
Kurt Russel will always be Snake, Wyatt, and Captain Ron.
skudzer1985 jack burton R.J McGready
And Dexter Riley!
How could you forget R.J. MacReady, Cash, and Jack Burton?
He's always be Mac first and foremost in my mind, then Snake Plissken etc you forgot Jack Burton too!
"As Jack Burton says" "who?" "Me."
What always amazed me was his ability to switch from supporting actor to star from movie to movie over the years.
He got Disney trained as a kid . Back when Disney made movies the Hollywood way .
3:04
'I think this guy's gonna work.'! :)
LOL.
This clip is so freakin' cool...words can't even describe how cool this is.
So glad "New York" is still alive and well at Union Station in St. Louis!!!
My dad let me watch this movie all the time when I was about 9/10 years old. He was a huge Kurt Russell fan. Anyway, Halloween is approaching & everyone is going around the class room naming who they were going to dress up as. Of course, I say Snake Plissken (I may have said "Blissken") & everyone in the class room give me a confused look with some giggling &whispering. My teacher asks me in a smart ass tone, "who's that"? The class bursts out laughing.
I felt like a fool.
It's cool to come to this message board and see how iconic and beloved the character of Snake Plissken truly is.
Don't worry, you just had the best taste out of everyone in that class.
Kurt's looking like The Dude!!!
My favorite movie character. Snake Plisken. What i like mostly is, how he is the perfect Anti Hero. He really dont wanna do the mission, but once he realise he has to do it, then he does it. So probably a character i can relate to alot
The name is P-L-I-S-S-K-E-N !!! 😉 By the way, it's my all Time Favorit Charakter in Sci-Fi Film History, I mean, who's cooler then SNAKE ?!? He doesn't give a Fuck about the War... or the POTUS...😂 Greets from Germany
Gem of a film and its soundtrack. Kurt Russell's so down to Earth, perfect for playing Snake.
"Used Cars" was Kurt's best movie.
Classic comedy.
would love to see Carpenter & Russell do "Escape From Earth"
A Metal Gear Solid 4 movie with Old Snake played by Kurt Russell...
Kurt Russell is absolutely legendary. RJ McReady, Snake Plissken, SANTA CLAUS, etc. he’s extremely overlooked. I love this guy
Captain Ron too! :D
I HAVE TO say after all the roles curt has played i respect that he he was entirely into the role this interview shows just that he is a true artist
this is my hero
the film is indeed a rich cinematic experience, very entertaining, rich fabric and very relevant content...I seen this movie many times, has some witty dialogue and comical characters....When I first saw this as child on VHS...I found it quite scary...corrupt government who serve their own interests and lie to the people, oppressive militarized police, no justice, the breakdown of law and order, chaos on the streets, criminal gangs roaming around....hang on a minute we all live there now!
Kurt Russell is the man. And Carpenter too. That whole movie and time will forever be a part of me. Forever a classic!!!
Snake is one of the most iconic anti-heroes of our time.
I wish they would of done one called Escape from Cleveland. They mentioned it so much in Escape from L.A.
Kurt is so cool.
0:01 guy is left with his palm wide open and is forced to close it as cool as he can haha
It's funny that the local riff raff got spooked by a man in that costume with a prop machine gun. That's how you know a character gonna work.
one of my favorite actor of all time.
Jeff Bridges and Kurt Russell are now the same person.
scarletspeed7 dude look up Jeff Bridges in King Kong '76, he looks exactly like Kurt Russel in the thing
😂
Kurt always tells that story I see about that street situation with the locals thinking the gun was real LOL
Demonkai Mugen They have 2 guns from the film, the hero and the stunt gun, the stunt gun is in a display case
😄 I keep coming back to hear that last bit.
Loved the ending of Escape from NY
If you love it so much why don't you marry it?
one of my favorite movies
love to see him play snake one more time
Pure coolness. Kurt and ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK hold up!!!!
Imagine being those four guys and then seeing the character on television. Now that is a true WTF moment.
still The Man!
They said He will be in the next Fast and Furious .Yeah I would love to see another Pisken story with Russell .
I wish he would make something soon I miss him....the movies arent the same without him.
Kurt is one of my favorite 80s action stars
Hopefully John Carpenter and him eventually get a green light for their Escape from Earth sequel.
I was thinking escape from America.
Ethan Gardner Escape from The Expendables. Now that! That would be awesome.
Ethan Gardner
They then escape into Canada and plan their overthrow of the corrupt powers in DC...
No worries there's tech that will have and can survive EMPs you know. :)
LOL. post EMP computers won't mean sht. There's folks out there with pre-chipped vehicles (google cummins diesel engines for example), faraday cages, EMP proof shelters just crammed with gear to be deployed. Sure the masses of sheeple and unprepared will be hit hard, but not the prepared and back on subject, Snake Plisskin will have a lot of EMP proof sht stored away to get it started and ball rollin'! :)
We need a Snake plissken escape from Chicago movie that would be the perfect one!
I love this man.
I can believe that. If you saw Snake, and didn't realize it was just Kurt Russell in gear, you would turn around. Though anyone roaming the streets after midnight in St.Louis would be scary, anyway.
Especially back in 1981 man
What’s funny to me is that in spite of his iconic character Snake, Kurt Russell is still more iconic as himself.
Just watched this for the first time... because of what is going on in 2020... WOW... Seattle , NY... etc.
We got this corona sh*t on top of everything...
Carpenter was WAaaaaaaaay ahead of himself...
Kurt you are ICONIC.
Loved you in " Hateful Eight " also. Just too many projects to add... ICONIC.
Priceless story - could listen for hours 🤘🏻🎸
The greatest character ever.
Another Plissken or Jack Burton's movie will be real good.
This summer...Snake is back...
"John Carpenter's Snake Plissken Chronicles"
PLAN YOUR ESCAPE
EmpireLS56KW If you're interested they recently started a comic book series that picks up right where the movie left off. I believe it started back in June. I haven't read them myself so I can't recommend them in good faith, but it may be worth a shot to read.
The check's in the mail.
Indeed!
Kurt is still a badass
Call me Snake... Old Snake.
I just watched it again and seeing this interview makes it worth it.
Easy easy man hahaha...🐍is pretty intimidating and he has an very intense swagger!!!
Escape from new YORK. Love that movie. A solid fuckin 10. Kurt is so badass. Call me SNAKE
LOL hahahaha
the best kurt russel line in any of his films was in the movie tango and cash, he says to sylvester stallone, "what did you stop for coffee and a danish" It was one of the funniest events in cinematic history especially sense they only worked together the one time and it was probably improvised by the two of them to see if fans would catch the hidden reference to stallone divorcing a dane brigit nielson.
I'd be down for a few more Escape From movies. Old Snake would be even more badass.
Call me Snake!!!
this is my favorite movie , still after 40 years
Kurt Russell is one of those actor that has a different style of acting that set apart from the rest if u never saw this film Miracle 2004 u should see it as it about 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team and as this one of mine personal favorite films
Legend... Also from St. Louis and my family would point out in the 80s where they filmed... And yes, certain sections look like some apocalyptic, void landscape. But he's referring to East St. Louis in Illinois.
Back in the day during the escape from New York and La era he would have made the best solid snake character for metal gear solid
I love kurt
Underated actor...good director(Tombstone) and he was Damn sexy as Snake (phew!) And tne scene in Backdraft when he cries about much he loves his buddies at the firehouse? Made me cry... how about some more films directed by him?
Kurt Russell one of the best actor in the world
“Hey man, easy!” That made me laugh harder than it should have. I’m surprised some video game company never jumped on the Escape from (insert apocalyptic city here) craze. That would be a pretty interesting quest game if it was done right.
Russell once said “Snake” was the only character he would play twice ( escape from New York & L.A. ) Until he played Santa Claus of course
He's got a new heist movie coming out, called "The Art of the Steal", with Terence Stamp (the original General Zod), and he's shooting a horror western, called "Bone Tomahawk", where he leads a posse to rescue some settlers from cannibals (think "Hills Have Eyes" meets "Unforgiven"), hence his look here.
Damn...now I think Kurt Russell should've been the voice for Big Boss on Metal Gear Solid 5 instead of Sutherland. Especially since the character Snake is based off of the character Russell played as in Escape from New York.
That would have been awesome and a great homage within an homage sort of thing.
i read that Kojima actually asked him, but Russel refused.
I think Kurt looks a lot like Kenny Rogers from the 80's.
Wrong. Kenny Rogers in the 80's looked like Kurt Russell today.
If I'm not mistaken, Kurt's look here might be for another movie he's currently involved with, a horror western called "Bone Tomahawk." It might explain the longish hair and grizzly beard
The four guys testimony only validates just how badass and how well Snake Plissken was portrayed and is as an iconic character. Just think about it. Kurt put fear into the hearts of real rough street thugs without saying a word.
We want the third Part!
Great Post!
wow man, I like this guy!
Snake Plissken will be always my favourite anti hero 😀😀😀😀😀
you know what ol jack burton always says at a time like this? what the hell 😁
kurt russel is da fuckin man
I love snake
"Snaaake Plisskin", I've heard about you ..... !!
I feel like everybody should call me like that with my real name... haha
My favorite Kurt Russel move was used cars.
Kurt and Carpenter have to make Escape from Earth ! Sly you have to cast Kurt Russell as Snake Plissken in a future Expendebles movie !
"A man should know his past."
-Kurt Russell
Ultimatel BAD ASS!!!!
SNAAAAAAAAAAAKE!
a living LEGEND!
Its 2018, the way things are going right now in New York, people will be escaping the snake.
I wish he would do another Big trouble in little china. That would be awesome to watch.
We need a KR lead sequel to The Thing and an Escape From New York sequel.
Man I was hoping for years that Kirt Russell as Snake would return as a retired vet and have to O.G. fight his way out of another prison city.
I think this guy's gonna work. Oh yeah he did, and has for for 37 years. One of my favorite actors and characters of all time. Call me snake....
