well, I suppose I ought to leave the Bronx

He's an 80's Spanish pirate or something.

Toblerone: You know you're really somethin'?

Servo: You got me so I can't sleep AT night.

Toblerone is the best character ever.

56:00 It’s Hugo Weaving!

47:20 It’s a Mauser.

This looks like a job for RoboCop.

The only thing realistic about this depiction of the Bronx is all the Italians.

Yeah this is America. That’s why the bad guys are carrying Italian Army issue PM12s.

Escape 2000 what?

That entire scene where M&tB mimic the poorly-dubbed reporters. You just can't help but mock along.

I've always liked a romantic ending. Here's to Pearl and Dablone!

That Tom Servo can sing

It's undeniably true, It sounds funnier when you omit the s in Fudgesickle.

Hmm…ok I think I understand. There was no actual plot just a little plot-lette for us to fill out. Got it.

So the hero was the Valerie Bertinelli dude…I mean the crusading vampiress reporter…or um the mercenary guy with the pyromaniac “son” who looks nothing like him…

Our villain was the president of the…no it was fallen on hard times actor Henry Silva…actually the backstabbing assistant who wanted…

The laughing Italian guy in the sewer served our story to…um…yeah…

And the main theme was staying in the Bronx…rather…leaving the Bronx…rebuilding the Bronx as a futuristic…uh…for um the purpose of…

I have to go lie down.

What was is about these movies in the 80's that had New York gangs if the future looking like they just stepped out of an off broadway play? Hell I see too people that could fit into chorus line!

What's the deal with those damn' police uniforms? I've been to NYC numerous times, and the standard-issue street cop uniforms look nothing like what these clowns are wearing. They look like cop uniforms from the 1920s or something. Servo's right on about the crewmen of the Potemkin.

Love the whole "men's night" sketch! Ah Crow, how I love thee!

I'm totally digging their riffing over the closing credits right now -- Crow wailing on electric guitar, Servo doing his very best '80s power-balled belter, the take-off on that old Journey song -- one of their best closing-credits going-out bits ever. They're really good at those, riffing over the closing credits of movies made in the '70s and '80s, the dawn of the era of closing credits that go on forever.

Y'know, there's one major disappointment with this movie. Despite the endless abundance of easily-killable silver-suited bad-guy thugs, and the amount of railings in the underground scenes, there isn't so much as one single railing kill in the whole damn' movie. I thought I might have seen one or two in a scene towards the end, but I can't really be sure as they happened really quickly and there was lots of smoke in the scene. The fight choreographer for this stinkburger could've learned a thing or two from Space Mutiny, if you ask me.

God, I can't believe I watched it all. Not an instant favorite, but I suspect it'll grow on me once I watch it again once or twice. Hopefully, it'll go just great in a post-apocalyptic triple feature with Robot Holocaust and Warrior Of The Lost World.

Oh, yeah, and did I neglect to mention that you should leave the Bronx?

Da'hell? What is this, a sequel to Warrior Of The Lost World or something? Maybe Warrior Of The Lost World meets Robot Holocaust?

Okay the whole Timmy bobby rusty thing was creepy as hell not the least of which due to the guy playing him, he looked like he 50 or had progeria. And the tongue sticking out thing.... Shudder.... Pure nightmare fuel. I feel slime lay just having seen it

Ahh the 80's when the post apocalypse was always around the corner and was almost always in New York or the parrallel universe New York that was populated entirely by Italians.

Pearl/Toblerone or Pearl/Brainguy. [sigh] Such a tough decision...

So....where does the "2000" part of this mess fit in?
I'm more than halfway through this movie, and there's been NO reference whatsoever to the year 2000...matter of fact, nothing's been established regarding when this film takes place save for a vague sense that it's sometime after 1986 (the only year mentioned thus far)

Again, I'll answer my own question: The only reason they called this crap sandwich Escape 2000 is because Escape From New York was taken :P

Y'know, that DOES look kinda like Schaumburg, IL.

Why waste so much time, money, and effort combing the ruins for people who refuse to leave the Bronx? Especially when all you're gonna do is immolate anyone you find? Just bulldoze it, and kill 2 birds with one stone!

Is a flame thrower really the most practical or efficient weapon to use against helpless civilians? I get that they're tearing down the Bronx, so collateral damage doesn't matter--but its a slow, messy, and needlessly cruel death...They HAVE guns! A bullet to the head would be quick, clean, and merciful by comparison.

In the end, I think the only reason they use them is because burning people to death helps pad the film :P

Whoa...I just caught an awesome callback joke at 28:38 in...
"Frank sneezed!"

I love how they use a car alarm in the second host segment.

You've got to love how the bad guys in this movie are only bad because they're being draconian in executing a really good idea. This is the movie I think about whenever I hear a Tea Partier fret about the direction they fear the country is going.

This episode...oh man. One of the first ones the bf and I watched together. We discovered this one not long after I introduced him to "The Warriors" and he introduced me to "Escape from New York", which are really the best of the urban-post apocalyptic-gang rebellion flicks. And then there is "Escape 2000", which hardly meets that standard.

I love Tom's Journey cover at the end credits!

*sighs* Effing Toblerone...

the disinfeftation guy looks just like rick santorum

Geez, that woman looks like John Malkovich.

*19:31 ...... isnt that a poster of the main character!?!? lol

*3:55* I had to put mother in a home! XD
