the documentary on the VHS is, I think, the same as the LD.

I have no news from Crispa about the HBO Special on L.A. so I have postponed this project. I want to have this TV Special on the dvd, so I am waiting to find another source.

This sounds like an awesome project ASH, I have always loved Escape from NY and while many hate LA, I loved it. I think they should do Escape from Chicago (or whatever) before Kurt gets too old.

I have a scan of an Italian poster for NY if you would like it, If you are going to send out copies of this I would really love one

I have the EFLA HBO First Look Special on videotape. I have no way of encoding it to AVI or Mpeg for the transfer. If someone on this forum who lives in the US (since its an NTSC tape) can do so, PM me.

Great news
you can contact DigitalfreakNYC. I asked him a few months ago if he will make a VHS to dvd transfer and he was OK then.
After the transfer, he will send you back your tape.

I will pay for the postage of course.

Hey Ash, I hope you can finish this project with the Escape from LA segment of course. I'm glad this thread is still around and I'm hoping everything works out.

Just watching Escaape now and it reminded me of this project. Any update?

I now have the HBO First Look Escape from LA on DVD, as well as some other Carpenter interviews. So maybe we can get this project started again. Is there any interest?

There are 2 DVDs I have now--all featuring John Carpenter interviews. There's the EFNY featurette from the VHS and Laserdisc, a They Live Japanese-subtitled featurette, a 1/2 hour "City Lights" program on Big Trouble in Little China, a 1/2 hr program (I believe the Rona Barret show) interview with Carpenter, Romero and Jeannot Swarc, and a bunch of other stuff. I can send these to someone who has the ability to rip what they want relating to the Plissken Files, or this can just morph into a John Carpenter Files project. I'd say all the stuff I have totals about 4 hrs.

Oh man, I'd love to see this.

I used to be very active on this forum. I’m not really anymore. Sometimes, people still want to get in touch with me about something, and that is great! If that describes you, please email me at [my username]ATgmailDOTcom.

Hi everybody. You’re all awesome. Keep up the good work.

I see its been over a year since the last post. Just seeing that DVD cover and not having the promised DVD leaves me a cold as a kid with no toys on Christmas. What's up with Snake?

dcfcfan who offered to send me some snuff disappeared. So I have to pospone this project waiting for some other rarities.
