This current DVD edition is a lot better than the previous one. The represent has been remastered in high-definition, which truly stands out as an accomplishment. The sound is decent, but we must withhold in mind that this is an venerable movie and the sound can only be restored so powerful. Extras included are commentaries, photo galleries, an curious comical book, featurettes, trailers, the deleted scene of the fresh opening; the bank robbery, and more. I can deny you for clear that I am noteworthy more blissful with this edition of the film.

“Hurry from Novel York” is definitely one of those films that stands out from the rest. It is a cult classic for a reason, and that reason is undeniable. While it may be overlooked by some, the ones who really like it for what it is benefits a ample amount of deal from it. If you’re looking for an challenging thrill journey with action, suspense, and humor, this is the one to check out. A capable film on every front.

Back in 1981, John Carpenter released a film, area in 1997, that depicted a somewhat bleak future for the United States in that the crime rate had risen to the point where it was distinguished to turn Novel York City into a maximum security prison by enclosing the island in giant, concrete walls, installing landmines on the access bridges, and providing constant surveillance with the threat of death for any that try to elope. Felons convicted and sent to this prison are given the option of execution rather than being forced to try and survive in this hellish, nightmare environment. Truly only the strongest and most ruthless survive slow these walls. The female narration, done by Carpenter accepted Jamie Lee Curtis, at the beginning ends with the ominous line, “Once you go in, you never advance out.”

After this is dwelling up, we learn that, while en route to an extremely famous conference, the president’s plane has been hijacked, and is crashed inside the prison. The inmates recover the president, and threatening to slay him if any attempt is made to release him. A idea is formulated, one including the recently captured, ex-military, now convicted, criminal Snake Plisskin (Kurt Russell) to send him in, alone, and try to bring the president out alive, offering him a burly pardon should he succeed. Only spot is, due to time constraints, of the conference, Snake only has 24 hours to complete this mission, if he accepts it. Another minor glitch…without his lustrous it, little implants are inserted into Snake’s neck in case he decided to skip out, and are dwelling to go off unless Snake can recover the president and return him safely within the time allotted.

This has always been one of my accepted movies. It brings to life the perfect anti-hero, the outlaw. We’ve seen and loved this type of character before, like in the Clint Eastwood western movies of the 60’s. America loves an outlaw, and John Carpenter has brought the character into the future. Flee From Novel York is an suited example of a obscene budget movie that is really well made, from the realistic sets and scenery, characters, casting, scripting, direction, and music, all of which was unruffled by John Carpenter himself. Kurt Russell plays Snake so perfectly that you’ll never report anyone else in the role. Other actors that provide fabulous performances, many of which Carpenter uses in his later films, are Harry Dean Stanton, Donald Pleasance, Adrienne Barbeau, Ernest Borgnine, Lee Van Cleef, and Tom Atkins. And let’s not forget Isaac Hayes as The Duke of Unusual York, leader of the most mighty gang within the prison, and the one holding the president in hopes of using him to elope. Another thing is that this movie moves. There is no plodding, the station is clearly defined and drives the movie to its’ satisfying conclusion.

The special features included in this special edition DVD are many, and listed thoroughly on the product page. Included is the eleven-minute sequence challenging Snake, a bank robbery, and subsequent rob that led him to be sentenced to the prison. This was only available before on the laserdisc version, so I am really blissful it made it here. After watching it and listening to the commentary, you’ll understand why it was lop from the movie, but the gist is that it humanized the character of Snake too grand. Also included from the laserdisc version is a full-length commentary by John Carpenter and Kurt Russell. Many commentaries I scrutinize tend to be dry and tiresome, but it was improbable listening to these two talk about scenes and reminisce. They go into broad detail, all while keeping it fascinating. Some of the other extras are nice, but probably not for everyone, like the mini droll book and the additional commentary by producer Deborah Hill and production designer Joe Alves. It’s a bit dry and insensible, and probably only would appeal to the more hardcore fans. And last but not least is the quality of the record. It looks shapely and crisp, better than I have ever seen it. All in all, this release is truly befitting of the title ‘Special Edition’. This movie was followed up in 1996 by a somewhat disappointing sequel called Sprint From LA. The elements were graceful great there for that one, but the gritty edginess that made Run From Original York so amazing fair wasn’t. Maybe too worthy time had passed between the movies.
