But they added Plissken. Hammy. Snake on its own is more ninja, but I don’t want to be accused of anti-Semitic views

In Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Solid Snake names himself "Iroquois Pliskin" upon meeting with Raiden for the first time. Solid Snake's character was also heavily inspired by Snake Plissken.[17] Kurt Russell was reportedly offered the role of Naked Snake (Solid Snake's genetic progenitor, also known as Big Boss) during the development of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, but Russell apparently declined.[18]

WG: Yeah, like Escape from New York never made it big, but it's been redone a billion times as a rock video. I saw that movie, by the way, when I was starting "Burning Chrome" and it had a real influence on Neuromancer. I was intrigued by the exchange in one of the opening scenes where the Warden says to Snake: "You flew the wing-five over Leningrad, didn't you?" It turns out to be just a throwaway line, but for a moment it worked like the best SF, where a casual reference can imply a lot.

Gullfire Over Leningrad: The Glider Navigation Sequence in ‘Escape from New York’, 1981
Escape from New York was John Carpenter's most ambitious and biggest-budget film to date, and his first choices to handle visual effects were Jim Danforth (7 Faces of Dr. Lao) and John Dykstra, the latter the talk of the special effects world for his Academy Award-winning work on Star Wars...

Also a joke in itself, how he says "Don't call me Snake" but in LA at the start they call him Plissken and he says "Call me Snake" but at the end he repeats the line "Don't call me Snake".

I watched Scarface on telly the other day too... my analysis that - I don't think anyone will argue with - is, that it's very very long.

Like the opposite of Citizen Kane that feels as though a lot of time has passed and a lot of stuff has happened but it's actually relatively short.

A much underrated film is Wonderland. As I understand it one of the more literal versions of what actually happened - those guys who brought back heroin from Vietnam in the coffins of dead soldiers and sold it in LA, then they ripped off the wrong guy and he beat them all to death with metal poles - with help from pornstar John Holmes (allegedly). Nasty story, nasty film.

Escape from NY? It's a cult film... John Carpenter, the music etc etc but when you watch it again it's just not that cool. The accepted truth is that Escape from NY is genius and Escape from LA is terrible but really they're not THAT far apart (though NY is obviously better don't get me wrong).
But of course it's not as good as Assault on Precinct 13 (which also has better music) which is in turn not as good as The Thing.

There are some great moments, but I cba with all the domestic stuff consisting of him and his friends and family yelling at each other.
