Escape From NY/LA Masterpost
If, like me, you’re new to the franchise and feel you got catching up to do, here’s a masterlist of stuff. I made it for myself but I feel it might be useful for other people too, especially if a remake gets officially announced.
John Carpenter’s official Escape from LA page, in all its 90s glory.
The Escape from NY/LA fansite. It’s the most comprehensive EFNY site. A lot of my content comes from there.
Snake Plissken Chronicles tumblr. This blog is about the mod’s live action fanseries, and it’s also pretty EFNY-comprehensive.
I hear that the blu-ray releases are pretty low quality compared to the DVDs. You might want to get those instead [EFNY | EFLA]. They’re cheaper, too!
The cut bank robbery scene, on Youtube.
The cut bank robbery scene, with commentary by Kurt Russell and John Carpenter.
Kurt Russel’s interview for EW CapeTown Film Festival about his Snake role experiences.
John Carpenter’s post-mortem commentary on EFNY [part 1 | part 2].
The Escape from New Jersey fanseries [ I | II | III | IV | V | VI ].
Sama_Teatime’s Call Me Snake fanmix. Electronica and metal.
Sama Teatime’s Call Me Plissken fanmix. Prog rock and thrash metal.
Xen’s (that’s me!) I Thought You Were Dead fanmix. Synthwave and synthpunk.
Retro Promenade. Synthwave album dedicated to John Carpenter featuring Lazerhawk. Tracks 1, 8, 11, and 15 seem directly inspired by EFNY.
EFNY OST. On Youtube here.
EFLA OST. On Youtube here.
EFLA original score. On Youtube here.
NoirDeco’s Escape with Snake Plissken track.
Pretty great EFNY theme remixes here, here, here, here, here, and here.
Marvel’s The Adventure of Snake Plissken. One-shot. Scans here.
Boom! Studios’ Escape from New York series. 12 issues. Very good quality, highly recommended. Scans here if you can’t get buy them.
John Carpenter’s Snake Plissken Chronicles. 4 issues. The studio went down, so getting these legit might be tricky. Scans here.
Mike McQuay’s 1985 Escape From New York novelization. Scans here.
Not exactly a book, but you can read up on the cancelled Snake Plissken’s Escape project here. I got a tag on it with a ton of stuff, too!
NECA figure. Very good quality. $50.
Sideshow Collectibles figure. Extremely good quality. $150.
McFarlene Toys figure. Very, very good, but it’s no longer made so stocks are volatile. $50, may vary a lot.
Funko ReAction figure [jacket | no jacket]. It’s, uh, affordable. $10.
4 different resin garage kits are still available for purchase. Two sculpted by Jimmy Flinstone, one by Jonathan Dewar, and another by Robert Ortiz. More info here.
