Escape from Metal Gear

Everybody knows that Konami characters and Hollywood characters walk hand tied.
"Konami has a bit of a history when it comes to creating characters based on Hollywood icons. From Contra to some of Hideo Kojima’s greats, familiar faces can be found all over Konami games."
Shamoozal make a great article about it with photos side by side.

Today i was watching Escape of L.A. and i cant stay without remember Metal Gear series.
First of all, the main character name; In Metal Gear we have Solid Snake in Escape From we have Snake Plissken.
There is a place in LA called New Heaven, in Metal Gear we have the Big Boss Outer Heaven.
In the beginning of the movie Plissken receive a virus similar to Foxdie.




Check the visual;



The eyepacth in different side uh?










But in Metal Gear 4 the eye patch goes to the same side as Plissken.



Now what? What the hell happened to the eye of snake? Maybe he make an eye transplant, his left eye to the right side, is better for peeking walls, yah know.


The part in the movie that make me shout loud METAL GEARRRRR was when the girl Taslima ist shot to death. Almost the same feeling when Meryl was shot by the Fox Hound member, SniperWolf - almost- to death.




Check this short video made from Escape of LA and use your brain to remember Solid Snake, keep on eye at the way that Plissken light his cigarette...


BUT, why the hell should i make a post about something that everyone is BALD to know about it...
You can find many thing like comics and topics in internet about that.



The point is... I was checking the IMDB profile of Kurt Russell and he made the EFNY in 1981, duh, okay, but check the other movies that he participate at 1981;

32. The Fox and the Hound (1981) (voice) .... Adult Copper
33. Escape from New York (1981) .... Snake Plissken

Don't you get it? The movie is The Fox and the Hound! Don't you get it yet? Man... please give up, cause you don't know anything about Metal Gear dude. FOXHOUND!














Hehehe, looks like Kojima really likes Kurt Russell X)
