Assault On Precinct 13

Catching Up With A Director Segment

This month's director is John Carpenter.
I've seen Halloween, Christine, Escape from New York,
Big Trouble in Little China, They Live, Prince of Darkness,
Village of the Damned, and Escape from L.A.

This month, I will see five Carpenter films I've never seen before.
Some of these films, I've seen pieces of it, but never as a whole.

The first movie to see is:


Assault On Precinct 13
This early Carpenter picture has to be one of his finest.
I enjoyed it a lot.
The music controls all of it.
I haven't seen the hollywood remake,
but, I'm sure it doesn't have the spirit of this flick.
Non-stop action Carpenter style.
Favorite scene: The Ice Cream truck scene.
Favorite line: Got a smoke?
