Yes, and John Carpenter knew he needed Kurt Russell as the lead. Russell had just the right combination of skills to pull off this unusual sci-fi/action film.
"Escape from New York" had a cool plot, the island of Manhattan as a giant prison of the future. With the right touch of "B-movie" humor added, this idea turned into a real box office hit.
The inclusion of "Swamp Thing" star, Adrienne Barbeau, only added to the movies charm - along with Adrienne's curvaceous good looks.
Is it just me or did so many 80's movies just happen to hit all the right buttons?
