Will have to wait until the world normalizes! Simple story of smash and grab rescue, but kept in a very Tait leash. Sign in to add this video to a playlist. Looking at the specs (won't bore you here) but it looks like they did this properly and meticulously, finishing off with the original cinematographer supervising the colour grading for the UHD release, for me, rubber stamping the authenticity of this new transfer. Complemented by minimalist, insistent soundtrack that supports the whole, doesn't impinge or take over.
If you can get your hands on one of these sets, just buy it, you won't be disappointed.
If like me you collect DVDs then this is a bargain that you shouldn't miss out on! It is similar to what can be found in Arrow Films boxsets. https://www.winterwatch.net/2020/08/escape-from-new-york-v-2020 Please try againSorry, we failed to record your vote.

But it is in no way scary. The film is a little dated but still thoroughly enjoyable and is rated 15 due to some profanity, violence and gore. Please try againSorry, we failed to record your vote. First off the packaging - its really nice, its brand new artwork across the whole box and i like that it also matches the style and the spine design for the other studio canal restorations.
When Air Force One crash lands in the prison, the government sends in a disposable hero— Kurt Russell icon, Snake Plissken, an outlaw and former war hero—to get him out. John Carpenter is a director, script writer and music scorer of the highest calibre and is responsible for some of the greatest films ever to grace the silver screen and the small screen.

For a film like this it deserves so much more than we get.
The package is lavish just like The Fog 4K Edition too which I also have. Some special effects haven't dated well, the glider sequences in particular, but this is minor quibbling - can't expect 30+ yr old film to hold up on this front given standards set by modern technology. Or Decent 80's Movie - take your pick Rightly regarded as a classic. Who could complain about its tiny price tag of £0.44 plus postage? However, I enjoyed it and its sequel so much (I’ve seen both twice — rare for me to do that even with somewhat decent movies), so, I can’t not give it 4-stars.I've been on a Carpenter tear lately and this really is one of his best. Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 15, 2018 I love the artwork on some of my old dvds and blurays of EFNY, so i'll never part with them, but also, I'll never again open them to play the discs... they are now redundant. Good dystopian future plot, solid action, and decent shots of a walled Manhattan on an obviously modest budget. Then there is the triple gatefold packaging, its dark blue and has nice artwork of Snake and some of the other characters. Please try againSorry, we failed to record your vote. WOW!!!! If I'm totally honest, I'm not a fan of the artwork for these new releases - they look too polished to me, whereas I always think of EFNY as this dystopian movie, full of grit and dirt...but hey.
