I know I’m not supposed to take it all really seriously, but almost everything Kurt Russel says in Escape From New York annoys the hell out of me. Plissken’s badassness is LAME
Bob Hauk: You go in, find the President, bring him out in less than 24 hours, and your’re a free man.
Snake Plissken: Bullshit!
Bob Hauk: I’m making you an offer.
Snake Plissken: Get a new president.
Bob Hauk: Is that your answer?
Snake Plissken: I’m thinking about it.
Bob Hauk: Think hard. We’re still at war. We need him alive.
Snake Plissken: I don’t give a fuck about your war… or your president.
Bob Hauk: You going to kill me, Snake?
Snake Plissken: Not now, I’m too tired.
[pause]
Snake Plissken: Maybe later.
Hauk: Plissken? Plissken what are you doing?
Snake Plissken: Playing with myself, I’m going in.
And the worst is when they talk about his goddamn NAME
Bob Hauk: I’m not a fool, Plissken!
Snake Plissken: Call me Snake.
and then later:
Bob Hauk: We’d make one hell of a team, Snake!
Snake Plissken: The name’s Plissken!
