First order of business here, let's just get this right out in the open... Kurt Russell is a deeply sexy individual.

Opening "AVCO EMBASSY PICTURES" etc. starts at 0:28 in the recording I'm watching, adjust timestamps accordingly.

Agh, this opening music is so late 70s/early 80s cult classic horror/action movie... I love it. I am so stoked to watch this movie.

4:30 well WTF caused the rise in crime?? Are they gonna fill us in on that?? I assume so.

6:30 the Statue of Liberty, right in the middle of the biggest prison in the nation... LOL, if that don't say it all, I dunno what does.

8:30 lol a guy in an eye patch... you know that's trouble.

8:37 "You now have the option to terminate and be cremated on the premises"... lol, lovely.

10:26 she has such a 60s/70s voice... you'd never hear a voice like that now.

11:40 Donald. Fucking. Pleasence. Playing the President. God what a treat.

11:48 wow... I bet there really is a pod too. That's some next level shit. Amazing. Wonder what other kinda cool shit they have??

12:06 do you think it'd really say "President of the United States" on the pod though? LOL. Maybe it would. I dunno.

13:00 wow... crazy story dude.

16:55 what the fuck do they even want with him?

17:33 oh man, I don't envy this old guy!!!

17:35 "He's dangerous sir" lol, what the fuck? Who is this dude supposed to be?

18:24 I've heard the name "Snake Plissken" many times but I never knew it was this character.

18:40 "Who are you?" Lmfao, if I was gonna be a dude, I'd wanna be this EXACT dude.

20:56 I think I understand why I've never seen this now... post 9/11, they didn't want to play any movie or TV show that had anything about the WTC in it.

23:00 man, don't ya think they're putting this guy under a lot of pressure??? He's probably already had a long day, and now they expect him to go out and do this?? Ummm.

29:00 "Yeah but takin' off is for shit." LMAO, I want to fuck this guy so bad.

37:40 those definitely are nice boots though. I was gonna say something about 'em earlier, but I didn't.

45:10 lol, Borgnine's character is a badass. What an amazing character. He just nonchalantly lights a molotov cocktail and proceeds on with typical cabbie smalltalk... priceless.

46:27 lmao the music in John Carpenter's movies is all the same. I love it.

49:25 how do they all know who he is though?? Doesn't seem very believable.

50:19 yeah, beat it out of her WITH HIS DICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

52:05 she does have a nice fucking rack... they look real too. Ahhh, the good ol' days when titties were real!!!

53:20 that's the tackiest most fabulous ride ever, lmfao.

59:40 lol Snake is such a badass.

1:02:35 man ain't nobody got time for these disruptions.

1:11:45 ew, you can just smell the dystopia.

1:17:02 muwahahahahaha, bwahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!

1:23:00 well it's a great movie, very suspenseful.

1:27:25 wow, well she really flubbed that one... color me shocked.

1:31:15 what an adventure. I don't really like suspense all that much though TBH.

It was definitely a great movie, but there was also something... inexplicably slight about it.

The beauty of Kurt Russell most certainly helped it along... I rate it 7/10.
