Escape from NY was the first film about the Air Force One going down inside of the prison.
Escape from LA was about the President's daughter and some kinda satellite "reset the world" codes.
Escape from NY is the good one.

Escape from LA is this one:
I really wish they hadn't made Escape from LA. A real sequel with an older Snake would be pretty good right about now.
But they murdered the franchise with one chop, just like Highlander.
I sometimes wonder if John Carpenter had a stroke in the early-mid 80s.
The only two things that stuck with me to this day from Escape from LA: Surfing and basketball.

They really need to have a Snake Plissken vs Ellen Ripley crossover basketball universe movie.
Wat?I sometimes wonder if John Carpenter had a stroke in the mid-80s.
She apparently sank that last shot in real life, on the first take. Kind of like Walter White with the pizza on the roof. Crazy if true.
Wat?
I guess I gonna watch them both now...forgot which one I watched already
I really like They Live and In The Mouth of Madness. Vampires and Prince of Darkness were decent at worse.He was one of the world's premier filmmakers until shortly after...say...Big Trouble in Little China.
He then pretty much went Full Renny Harlin the rest of the way.

He had some terrible stuff thrown in but he was still able to maintain a better level than most for the remainder of his career. It's nearly impossible to maintain the level of quality he produced in the 70s and 80s.
Carpenter made Halloween (seminal, classic horror film), Escape from New York (a classic film, timeless to me) and Big Trouble in Little China (undervalued film in my opinion), and the Thing in a six year run!!!
Fucking amazing.
