Trivia: John Carpenter's movie "Ghosts of Mars" originally began life as a third "Escape from..." movie, which would have involved Snake Plisskin being trapped on Mars on a mission. It was ultimately retooled into a stand-alone sci-fi/horror movie, and Plisskin was rewritten into the character "Desolation Williams," portrayed by actor/rapper Ice Cube.
Answer: From online sources: Bluebacks are a form of currency used in the dystopian Los Angeles. They are specifically mentioned as the currency used to pay Hershe and her gang for their assistance in rescuing Utopia. Snake Plissken agrees to pay $1,000,000 in bluebacks for their help.
