Directed by: John Carpenter
Starring: Kurt Russell, Steve Buscemi, Cliff Robertson, Peter Fonda, Pam Grier, Valeria Golino
Revealing mistake: Painfully obvious bluescreen/CGI effect when Snake makes the motorcycle jump into the back of the pickup truck in Cuervo's motorcade. (00:32:45 - 01:08:20)
Revealing mistake: When Snake is surfing with Peter Fonda, if you look, you can tell some of the shots are using a stunt double who appears to have some sort of hood on to try and match Snake's hair. (01:07:55)
Continuity mistake: In Escape from New York, Snakes tattoo on his stomach is filled in. In Escape from LA, his tattoo is just an outline. (00:18:05)
The President: Let's face it - he's dead.
Brazen: I agree.
Commander Mallory: Plissken's been dead so many times, I can't count them all. But he never stays down.
Trivia: Kurt Russell kept the outfit he wore in Escape from New York. The very first day of shooting Escape from L.A., he stepped out of his trailer in that very same outfit for shooting. He and producer Debra Hill looked at each other and began laughing. Debra Hill said it was like going into a time machine.
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.
