References to John Carpenter's Escape from New York in other media.
Comic Book:
- The Block 109 album "New York 1947". The title is based on "New York 1997", the French title of the film. Not to mention the setting itself (a mostly derelict Manhattan Island), the collapsed Statue of Liberty on the album's cover. And then there's the character Herr Plissken.
Video Games:
- Snake Plissken has been an obvious inspiration for expy Solid Snake in the Metal Gear franchise, what with Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima being a big fan of the film.
Live-Action Television:
- The Walking Dead: Dead City: The series' poster has an obvious nod with the fallen head of the Statue of Liberty, only here it's a human skull wearing Lady Liberty's headgear. The premise (saving someone from the heart of a derelict Manhattan Island that's been turned into a death trap filled with savage criminals/zombies) is also roughly similar.
