Afterwards Eddie offered to take him to Hershe Las Palmas if Snake won't kill him. Later, Snake jumped on Eddie's car and the two engaged in a brief fight. Cuervo then sent Eddie to find Snake's body after Eddie told him that he killed Snake.

Movies like "The Fog, "Halloween", "BigTrouble in Little China" and "Eyes of Laura Mars" have madeCarpenter rich and respected for the level of entertainment they provide,not their messages. Carpenter is best at what mostconsider the worst. But intrying to add political commentary on the religious right, the fun is takenout of what needed to be a dry-wit vent. The characters who drop inand out are a little distracting but you have to at least admire the namesof Map to the Stars Eddie: Steve Buscemi, Pipeline: Peter Fonda, SurgeonGeneral of Beverly Hills: Bruce Campbell and Hershe: Pam Grier.
What I reallyenjoyed were the slams at Universal, Disney and the LA lifestyle, whichinclude a wicked send-up of plastic surgery. Enter Kurt Russell as Snake Plissken, theultimate survivor who is forced into finding the device. Langer, has stolen a doomsday device and turnedit over to LA's revolutionary Cuervo Jones (I love that name!), a rathernon-menacing George Corraface. But the president's daughter,played scantily by A.J. All immoral and illegal acts are punishable by deportationto the island of LA where anarchy thrives.
The US government is now controlled by a religious zealot, portrayed b圜liff Robertson. The year is 2013 and LA has been made into an island by an earthquake. After the big LA earthquakeof '94, Russell approached Carpenter with the concept since most peoplewere plotting escapes from LA, why not do it with Snake Plissken? And how did they get Kurt Russell to reprisehis role from "Escape from New York"? Well, his name appearsin the writing and producing columns, so this is apparently something hewanted, not something he had to be convinced to do. John Carpenter'sname isn't just part of the title, it appears in the director, musical scorer,and writer categories as well. Well, that pretty much summed up what I was thinking.
"It was OK, but could we rent the original." was his response. You aren't supposed to take 12-year-olds to see R-rated action flicks,but since "John Carpenter's Escape from LA" is aimed right atthat adolescent/testosterone level, I figured "Why not?" Well,the reason why not is because even a 12 year old boy was bored with "Escape".
