New Carpenter Magnets

Directed By: John Carpenter

In 1988, the crime rate in the United States rises four hundred percent. A fifty-foot containment wall is erected along the New Jersey shoreline, across the Harlem river, and down along the Brooklyn shoreline. It completely surrounds Manhattan Island. The United States Police Force, like an army, is encamped around the island. There are no guards inside the prison: only prisoners and the worlds they have made. The rules are simple. Once you go in, you don’t come out.

I love New York

John Carpenter's worlds combine. Jack Burton, Snake Plissken and R.J. MacReady combine forces to take on the THING!

If you heard he was dead... you heard wrong.

"Oh, you mean I can't count on you? Good!"

Reproduction: Escape from New York

Snake Plissken - the baddest of the badass movie heroes, forever doomed to be saving the world, all the while trying to figure out how to destroy it, has finally decided that if he's going to be rescuing people for a living, he might as well get paid for it, goddammit! No more Presidential Pardon's, no more plutoxin 7 in the neck, you want a President, his tramp daughter or Donald Pleasence found, then call Plissken's Search and Rescue and pay cash just like everyone else. Ask for Snake by name and get a free M41 grenade this month only.

"You touch me, he dies. If you're not in the air in 30 seconds, he dies. If you come back in, he dies"

Call me "Snake."
