The latest bit of fansanity™ is a youtube video accusing Rian of plagiarizing John Carpenter’s Escape From L.A. I kid you not.

I also didn’t get the memo where EFLA is suddenly regarded as top tier Carpenter now.

Yeah, saw that one too. It’s quite similar, but even if RJ was inspired by EFLA (for all we know, it might be his favourite movie), I don’t really see the problem. The setting is obviously completely different, and if anything RJ improved on the EFLA version.
