I REALLY want to hear the Escape from New York commentary on LD!


I have been looking for this disc everywhere with no luck!

I am a big fan of John Carpenter, and am dying to hear the commentary track to Escape from NY that is on the Laser Disc.

Does anyone know where I can pick one up? Or at least point me in the right direction? I know it may be some $$$, but I don't really care!

Have you tried eBay? In the last few weeks, some copies of the SE LD have sold for as little as $4.99.

I have the SE LD and still occasionally pop it in for the commentary. It is one of the best ever IMHO.

Yes and I greatly love the description by Carpenter of how they had to "improvise" in making the black helmet visors for the police officers that land in central park late in the movie (think spray paint).

I actually got to meet Mr Carpenter about a year ago and he told me he was working with MGM on the Fog (now released) and Escape from NY with MGM.
