Jason Statham, just my opinion

[GSP.FAN]

I like Butler and he is great in this movie.....Gamer was OK

[Darkwolf377]

Overrated movie from and incredibly overrated director.

[IronJack]

Statham is a little too old for the Plisskin role. I wonder how Christian Bale would work ... The guy is a gold-plated dick, I understand, but he was superb in “Equilibrium.” But that was as a sterile, unemotional Grammaton cleric. Plisskin is a lot ... earthier.

Previewing being underrated...

"Call me, uh, Snake."

[Museum Twenty]

New Snake P.? Snake P’s long-lost daughter. Same initials BTW.

[Yo-Yo]

Snake Plissken? I thought he was dead. Escape from LA certainly died at the box office.

Any movie with an incredibly bad effect of Peter Fonda surfing deserved it. I swear they had a special effects budget of $4.98 for that movie.

[ReneeLynn]

Josh Holloway aka Sawyer. But that’s just because I want to see more of him in a movie. Any movie. Grrrrrrr.

[Molon Labbie]

Jackman, or maybe Karl Urban.

[OCC]

Can they get Snoop Dogg to play the Duke of New York?

[BushCountry]

Deadliest one of all!

[TLI]

Put a patch on the guy and say "I thought you were dead."

[atomic_dog]

But who will reprise Ernest Borgnine’s role as Cabbie?

[Bean Counter]

My wife and I were talking about this and we came up with a couple of suggestions, but who we would pick would depend heavily on the screenplay.

I can think of a couple of the regulars on “Sons of Anarchy” that might make a pretty good go of reviving Snake Pliskin...all of them are certainly candidates as inmates...Charlie Hunnan, Kim Coates, and Tommy J. Flanagan for starters.

But again, if the right screenplay came along, we both think Vin Diesel would be an outstanding Snake Pliskin. Think about Riddick in the opening of “Chronicles” with all that shaggy hair and that knife...

You don’t want somebody cute. You want the shaggiest looking baddass you can find, and Kurt Russell left some big shoes to fill. Yah, he looks more comic today than he did when EFNY came out, but at the time he was the baddest guy on film.

Another “Essential Kurt Russell” is “Big trouble in little China”. Also a howler to watch, but Jack Burton is also vintage Kurt Russell...

Escape from LA sucked rocks - it couldn’t hold a candle to Escape from NY.

Oh, and for the love of God, please PLEASE don’t give the role to Nicholas Cage...

[Pan_Yan]

Why do I always have to point out the obvoius?

[tlb]

In the words of Snake Pliskin:

“Get a new president”.

Interesting dynamics in the old film. You can watch it and see Kurt Russel and John Carpenter both working with their soon to be ex-wives. Season Hubley trapped with Snake in the Chock Full of Nuts shop, and of course Adrienne Barbeau as Maggie.

And the uncredited opening narration, did you recognize Jamie Lee Curtis’ voice ?
