In the iconic and anarchic film 1997: Escape From New York from 1981 (released in the midst of the Reaganian hedonism period? Was that what it was called?), director Mr. Carpenter does almost everything himself, or rather, he stitches together the film's soundtrack in his own way, which will become a cult but at the same time a pseudo-synonym of trash, with its catchy lines that linger in adolescent memory ("Chiamami Jena/Call me Snake" says Plissken/Russell in one of the opening scenes). There are many scenes worth mentioning, but I choose the arrival of the Duke, with his parade of battle-equipped cars led by the famous Cadillac featuring crystal chandeliers and a disco mirror ball inside. Isaac Hayes plays the Duke. Kisses 1997: FUGA DA NEW YORK - L'ARRIVO DEL DUCA
