'Tis a legendary film for sure (apparently it’s up for a re-make which SUCKS–all those cool special effects will probably end up getting ruined by CGI now, they’ll cast some crap rapper in the Childs role, and they’ll have the obligatory T&A flavour of the month ho added to ruin the all-male cast dynamic).
Definitely check out the DVD Collector’s edition in widescreen–it’s got great commentary (Carpenter and Russell both give interesting takes on the final scene) as well as a wonderful documentary about the film.
You’ve never seen that!!! Wow, it’s definitely great (Escape from LA is pretty cool too); Starman is cool, Halloween was great, In the Mouth of Madness, They Live (which features one of the coolest fight scenes ever), Vampires…he made a lot of really neat films.
Is “In the Mouth of Madness” based on a Lovecraft story?? Same name pozz?
n tru Vampires was wikid, n Escape from NY juz totally iNZANE. Escape from LA was kinda sheeyat IMO, except fo tha end when he turns off the power and sends tha planet back to tha stone age.
