the real Solid Snake is Kurt Russell

[BabyHeadCrab]

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082340/

Kurt Russel from "Escape from New York" and "Escape from LA", the voice is even the same, and he even has the mullet and eyepatch and poorly shaven whiskers. It's astonishing how much is barrowed from these John Carpenter classics, I recommend any MGS fan view these films right away.

compare to

Not as if they were trying to hide anything considering snake's effing codename in big shell (mgs2) is "Pliskin"

it's pointed out here in an article/trivia thing I found too
http://www.mobygames.com/game/ps2/metal-gear-solid-2-sons-of-liberty/trivia

This chapter begins on April 29, 2009, as players then find themselves in control of Raiden. Raiden is operating under FOX-HOUND to rescue the President and other hostages from the "Big Shell," a decontamination facility constructed two years ago to clean up the oil spilled during the sinking of the Discovery. He is aided by Colonel Campbell as mission command, Rose (Raiden's girlfriend; one of many movie spoofs; Jack and Rose from "Titanic") as data management, and a number of other on-site specialists, including SEAL Team 10 Lt. JG Iroquois Pliskin (instantly recognizable as Solid Snake in mufti; (another film reference, this time to Kurt Russell's character Snake Plissken from the "Escape from L.A." and "Escape from New York" movies). The party responsible for seizing the Big Shell is the Navy's Dead Cell terrorist-attack-simulation group (who were modeled after the real-life Red Cell (http://www.specialoperations.com/Navy/Red_Cell/Default.htm) unit), aided by Shalashaska and led by a man who calls himself Solid Snake but is actually Solidus Snake, the third of the Snake clones and a "well-balanced masterpiece."

Both movies have countless influences to what later became MGS not to mention they are fun films, so go see them.

I've seen escape from L.A. I think. Awesome films and I too got the pliskin reference.

If there were to be an MGS game he should definately star.

You're the first person in the world to notice this.

I know i'm not I just think its cool because I recently reviewed both films pay homage where homage is due

 

[Dalamari]

All you had to do was read a Hideo interview where he claims that he based Snake off of Snake from the "Escape from.." series

[mortiz]

Jeeeeez, OLD.

 

[kupocake]

I remember when this was actually "news". It was my youth and things were simpler back then. Locomotives were powered by coal and young people had respect for old people. Oh to return to those days...

Edit: but thanks all the same for a bit of nostalgia. Makes me feel young again.

man you guys are ****ing pricks, why do I still post here


OK SO ITS OLD, I'M SORRY I'M GOING TO GO KILL MYSELF NOW. How about you guys find something better to do then flame threads with the same bullshit over and over again about it being old. I thought the similarity in faces was interesting. I honestly dont give a **** if you think it's old - go do or post something productive.

your comments are not clever but i'm glad your post count and e-penis inflated as you made them. This place sucks, I hate you all.

xlucidx, kupoartist, mortiz, KagePrototype kindly go **** yourselves with your giant e-pen0rs. In case you didn't notice some people in this thread managed to carry on a logical conversation, but not you guys.. just useless bullshit spam.

No, you go do something productive that doesn't involve announcing to people what they already knew and or figured out for themselves, and then twisting your knickers about them telling you that it's old.

just useless bullshit spam.

You're a great teacher, but you should learn some of your own lessons.

This is new to me and propably new to some other people. People shouldn't say stuff because it is old to them. Don't leave!;(

haha whatever i've since cooled down and your post did give me a good laugh with the "self appointed minister" I'm not going to continue the flame war because you actually got me to laugh. That and I took a nap. I know I was a bit out of line and outright admit it.. i'm not always in a good mood. Thanks Kupoartist.. your not a bad guy.

Babyheadcrab, self appointed minister of guilty e-confession.

File a lawsuit or something i'm a jackass sometimes - I got pissed off form some comments and you sucessfully made me look stupid over internet. You won I lost.. whatever congrats, life goes on and I have a real one to live. Looking forward to being further owned by you on this forum.

I thought everyone knew this? I thought this was universal knowledge? Like 1 + 1 = a window?

Well, that's an extremely good guilty e-confession. And frankly, it was a little out of order for me to do the whole "this is old" thing when you had already adknowledged it (didn't read the thread enough myself). So I'M sorry too

Even if what you original posted was old news, two people not at each others throats over something ridiculous is probably genuine news in Internet terms

This has to be the first time a flame war ended well, without a moderator haveing to lock the thread
