TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

According to an interview with John Carpenter, Kurt Russell not only came up with, but wrote the entire ending of the movie.

Kurt Russell's only writing credit.

At the beginning of the film, Kurt Russell wears his costume from the original film. It still fit after 15 years.

This film was caught in development hell for eleven years. A script was first commissioned in 1985, but John Carpenter thought it was "too light, too campy". It remained dormant until Carpenter and Kurt Russell got together with frequent collaborator Debra Hill. Russell's persistence that got the film made. Snake Plissken was his favorite character, a character he wanted to play again.

The movie was filmed almost entirely at night. The production went 70 days without a daylight shoot.
