Escape from L.A.[edit]

Is this a remake of Escape from L.A. ? The premise seems similar. 86.198.185.10 (talk) 11:34, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- More like Escape from New York with a little bit of Escape from L.A. thrown in. I like to think of it as Escape from New York in space. --64.233.26.20 (talk) 18:23, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - When I first saw the trailer I thought they desperatly wanted to make an "Escape from..." movie and had that space-script ready when they realized they wouldnt get a license. And then they did it anyway. And then they ate their own shoes. Just speculation though. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.122.133.67 (talk) 10:57, 21 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - Should the court case between John Carpenter and EuropaCorp over the similarities be mentioned in the article? It was ruled in Carpenter's favor. http://blogs.indiewire.com/theplaylist/john-carpenter-wins-plagiarism-case-against-luc-besson-over-lockout-20151015 184.53.32.179 (talk) 21:27, 15 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Someone wanna undetail (horrible English) that plot summary? I'm not really sure of myself enough to go about it properly, but it's at least 1500 words and it really doesn't need to be that long. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.189.166.30 (talk) 20:27, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ending[edit]

At the end of the film when Harry Shaw is gloating about the fact that he'll only serve a few years due to his position as a Secret Service agent, and in turn his knowledge of government secrets, Snow attacks him with a lighter and burns him under his left eye. I don't know if it was the intention of the writer or not, but that would leave him scarred the in same way that Hydell was (the psychotic brother of the convict leader). Earlier in the movie Snow explains to Emilie Warnock that prisoners do this to those among them who are considered "rats".

I guess I'm asking a question here more than anything because it's difficult to tell whether or not this scene was significant, but it's food for thought none the less. Did Snow burn him like that with the intention of making him look like a rat so that his new prison neighbours would turn on him? It looked that way to me, it seemed too convenient to be a coincidence, but it's hard to tell. If someone can ever actually confirm that is what happened, it might be worth adding to the plot summary in the article. Because it does kinda change the tone of the film's ending.--77.103.237.230 (talk) 03:31, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The villains[edit]

Hasn't anybody ever complained, that all the villains talk irish english? Alissem (talk) 15:06, 23 October 2014 (UTC).[reply]

That's a Scottish accent: "He's from Glasgow. Along with his brother. ... I hope my Glasgow accent goes down alright...". Andrew🐉(talk) 11:49, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
