    	No way ... can't wait!!
    
    	Just saw "Escape from New York" for the 1st time about 2 weeks
    	ago.
    

    
    I've seen it about a dozen times and will watch it again another 12
    times(at least).Its the sort of movie I would file under "guilty
    pleasure" 8)

    Any one out there see anymore detailed scenes from "Escape from L.A."?
    
    	All I've seen were some quick flashes about it on "Entertainment
    Tonight" one night!
    
    I really liked the first one and hope the second is just as cool!

    big shame we can't have Donald Pleasance or Lee Van Cleef,  I guess
    Snake will just have to find somebody else to be rude too.

    Another of my favorite actors ever, Mr. Independent Movie, Steve
    Buscemi, is in this, too.

    Saw an Escape from L.A. trailer before a screening of The Phantom.
    At first, one wasn't completely sure one was seeing a trailer.  It
    looks to be entertaining in much the same way the first one was.

    Saw the new one last night.  Excellent!!!!!
    
    Plenty of humor, some gut-wrenching irony, lots of high-impact,
    explosive action, cool characters.  Some performaces were a little
    under part (especially Cliff Robertson and Stacey Keach).  But others
    were first rate (especially Russel and Buscemi).
    
    Go see it!

    Now this was the summer's great, action-packed, cheesy, all-in-good-fun, 
    B movie that people were proclaiming ID4 to be!
    
    Bottom line: if you liked the first, you'll love this - same movie.
    
    Favorite line was from Cuervo Jones: "Snake, you got out of Cleveland
    and escaped from New York, but we're gonna show you that this #$%&@!
    city can kill ANYBODY!"
    
    - Sean

    Saw this last night - it was really good, especially if you have seen
    the original.  Escape from NY was better, mostly because it took time
    to develop the Ernest Borgnine and Harry Dean Stanton characters.  If
    Escape to LA was 15 minutes longer, it could have developed the
    characters of Valeria Golina, Pam Grier, and Steve Buscemi.  Grier and
    Buscemi are two of my favorite actors, and each deserved more screen
    time.

Does Kurt Russel talk in that bad Clint Eastwood immitation throughout the
whole movie?  

Ken

    
    	His name is Snake ... he's HISSING.
    
    	8^)
    

    I don't know but I've worked his line "You're rules are really
    beginning to annoy me" into as many conversations as I can with
    great results so far - except, of course - with my wife - who
    was quite annoyed.
    
    Warren

    
    Actually, when does he say that line?  I know the promos have
    that clip, but I didn't catch it in the actual movie anywhere.

    re: .12  
    
    
    Hahahahaha!  too funny!  

    Went and checked it out last week.  lots of cheese, but entertaining none
    the less.  It is one of those movies that you are to leave your brain at
    home and just sit back and enjoy.

    Valeria Golina is in this one? What part does she play? I liked her in
    the Hot Shots series (plus she's a babe). 
    
    (Shawn) what else has she been in?
    
    

    
    	She was in that movie with Dana Carvey where he kept losing
    	his memory ... ummm, eesh.
    
    	And she was the gymnast in "Big Top Pee Wee".
    

    I first remember her from Rainman.
    
    Sue

    
    
    I dont think she was in Pulp Fiction!

    re: .17
    
    I know the name of the movie you are talking about, the one with the
    dog who bumps into this, etc...
    
    Hmm, Big Top Pee Wee eh? Might have to rent that for laughs! heh heh
    (done in pee wee's voice).
