odessasteps Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 I don’t think I’ve seen it since it came out. I reallyonly remember a couple scenes (surfing, basketball, Bruce) apart from the end. If I watched it again, maybe that would change my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 I saw it once. Once was enough. I almost watched it again when How Did This Get Made covered it, but I figured I would remember enough of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Enough people around here watch pretty terrible 60s/70s/80s movies and unironically enjoy them, but when it's a cheesy as fuck 90s movie it's somehow the worst thing ever made. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's likely partly an age thing. But I also think bad 90's CGI just hasn't developed the same charm that bad practical effects have to people at large. Maybe that's just me, but I'm way more willing to laugh at a shitty hand puppet filling in for a monster than a horribly composited computer monster, which instead just jerks me right out of the movie. There are plenty of 90's movies I love, too. But something like Escape from L.A. also has to deal with how beloved Escape From New York was. A bad sequel a decade later is going to get ire. -------- Mostly unrelated but there's a fucking Backdraft 2 that either just came out to video or is about to. What the fuck? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Maybe it's because I'm a 90s kid, and I saw Escape From LA before I saw the original. But it holds a special place in my heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 LA does have that funny bit with the Mexican standoff, where Snake convinces some dopes that he’s going to throw a can in the air and they’ll all shoot when it hits the ground...and then he just shoots them all while they’re still watching the can in the air.
