Escape from L.A. (1996)
2.5/5
This ridiculous sequel to Escape from New York (1981) is brilliant in it's over the top insanity. It is far inferior to Escape from New York. The plot is nonsensical and gets more ridiculous the longer the film goes on. While it is basically the same plot as the first film, thus making it more a re-make than sequel it has none of the slick atmosphere that the original had. What Kurt Russell and John Carpenter were thinking in making this film I don't know, however the result is this outrageous, hilarious and terrible film. Worth a watch for fans of B grade trash, Carpenter or Kurt Russell, however no where near the charm of Big Trouble in Little China.
