From this new island hell rises an army of discontent, led by brutal South American revolutionary Cuervo Jones (George Corraface). Carpenter, he says is easy to talk to - "you can come up with suggestions - and the filming took place in a relaxed atmosphere despite the pressures of a $50 million budget and 70 nights of shooting. A massive earthquake The Big One has hit Los Angeles, leaving it smashed in ruins and completely surrounded by water. Georges landed this role after what he describes as an up-beat, ebullient and exhilirating meeting in Los Angeles with Carpenter and Russell. "The quality of cynicism attracted me to the script," Georges explains, adding that he doesn't subscribe to the anaestheticized version of "political correctness". It is a thriller laced with humor and social comment on the emerging atmosphere of paranoia prevelant in the United States, which by 2013 is caught between the fascist Moral Majority and the anarchistic Liberals.
In this sequel to John Carpenter's hit "Escape from New York", there are no "good guys", Georges explains, and Snake is himself an outlaw. With little time and few options, the President and his cohorts maneuver the legendary one-eyed, leather-clad Snake Plissken into recovering the black box and Utopia in just ten hours - or die for lack of the antidote from a chemically-engineerd virus injected into him. She takes it to this latter-day Che Guevara impersonator. Langer), attracted to Cuervo Jones through a virtual reality message, steals a top-secret little black box containing a remote control which enables the user to switch off any source of energy it can potentially destroy the world. The President's unhappy, idealistic daughter Utopia (A.J. It has become the ideal dumping ground for criminals and anyone deemed not confirming to the rigid dictates of the fascist regime of the U.S. The story: It's the year 2013, and the City of Angels is now hell on Earth, all but destroyed, and turned into an island by a 9.6 Richter-scale earthquake in 1998. Georges Corraface plays Cuervo Jones, the undisputed and feared ruler of a post-apocalyptic Los Angeles in "John Carpenter's Escape from L.A." Georges draws on his Mediterranean roots to give a strong Third World flavor to this false revolutionary figure, nemesis to Snake Plissken (Kurt Russell).

All of the criminals in the country are sent there, but in this new world, just being a Muslim in South Dakota is grounds for imprisonment.Īfter racing a one-man submarine to the island, Snake excites a lot of ladies, surfs a tsunami with Peter Fonda, hang glides with Pam Grier and Steve Buscemi, turns into a hologram, and kills a whole lot of bad guys.
The corrupt President of the country and his military tools force Snake to go on a mission to the island of Los Angeles, which was turned into a prison on foreign territory after a huge earthquake flooded its surroundings and the entire country became a conservative no-smoking, no-red-meat-eating, no fun zone.
