snake plissken is actually a real person
i read that snake plissken was a bully at john carpenter’s high skl, which is probs the same guy ur dad knows
so dere is a real snake plissken. jus not as kl as the one from mgs series (cnt w8 for mgs4 :P) or kurt russell
i wud like to c the remake, i jus dont fink gerard butler will have the same look or sounds of voice.. but we will see… hopefully for the mgs movie next year.. christian bale will be snake.. he can look identical to the character.

Rick Weber, no one OWNS a character, but when an actor first portrays a character, especially one such as Snake Plissken, people identify that character with that actor. Both John Carpenter as well as Kurt Russell both met their future/ex wives on that film, and it was the first film that broke Kurt Russell out of the “Disneyboy” roles that he had been in before then. The movie is 31 years old, it takes place in the “future” of 1997, 10 years ago. It holds up today and is being remade because of what a great film it is, due greatly to Kurt Russell. So yeah, I think he has the right to feel he “owns” the role.

Seems to me Kurt Russell has been bitten by the wee green-eyed monster. I’m sorry but he doesn’t OWN the role.

Hey Mg , thats cool about the snake name origin. Excited about the prospects of the escape remake, there will really only be one real snake, but to remake it would bring in a new generation of fans to see escapes history and characters. By the way can you ask your dad to ask the real snake is he would approve of a remake to escape? thanks.

Did you also know Peter that my father is good friends with the “real” Snake Plissken? No joke. One of my dad’s college buddies name is Larry Plissken, and his nickname ‘Snake’ was the basis for the now famous name.
