Kurt Russell in Escape from L.A. (1996)

FAQ

Escape from L.A.

FAQ



    Presumably the President was able to get a replacement copy of the nuclear fusion formula and was able to stave off the war with China and the USSR.



    Director John Carpenter commented just before the release of Escape From L.A. (1996) that IF this movie was successful then he would consider a third movie and that the only place left for Snake to escape from would be Earth. "Escape From Earth" was just an idea - Carpenter never even gave that title, it's just something people assumed it would be called.

    Escape From L.A. evidently was not a commercial success and so the idea of a third movie went no further than Carpenter's comment.
