Paying Homage to Escape from New York
Kurt Russell is one of those legendary actors that has been in showbiz for a very, very long time. There’s no denying that he’s an incredible actor. Did you know that he landed his first acting role when he was only 11 years old? We told you he had talent.
One of the benefits of being in the game for so long is that directors can draw inspiration from an actor’s past films. For instance, James Gunn paid homage to one of Kurt’s most recognizable roles when, as Ego, his left eye is the last to form while he’s regenerating. Snake Plissken from Escape from New York was missing his left eye.
