If there were ever a singular source for AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE, you've found it in THE FIREBALL TIM GARAGE! And today, we launch a new ESCAPE FROM NY Duke Cadillac MASTERPRINT that beeegggg a new ESCAPE movie! And there might be one on the flaming horizon!! Could it be ESCAPE THE EARTH or ESCAPE THE EAST with Crispy Plisskin?? Stay tuned right here...
DID YOU KNOW?? The film, set in the near-future world of 1997, concerns a crime-ridden United States, which has converted Manhattan Island in New York City into the country's sole maximum security prison. Air Force One is hijacked by anti-government insurgents who deliberately crash it into the walled borough. Though the film takes place in New York City, director JC said he and his crew couldn’t film some of the more ambitious sequences there because it would have “tied up the whole city too much,” so they went looking for an alternate location, and found one in St. Louis, Missouri. Why St. Louis? Well, a few years prior to filming, a fire destroyed parts of that city’s waterfront, leaving large areas of ruined buildings and empty streets that provided the perfect post-apocalyptic look.
Also in today's blast, Fireball spots the PINK JEEP from Elvis' Classic BLUE HAWAII, snap time with ZZTop's Billy Gibbons in Hollywood, then sketches up the infamous and Fabulous HUDSON HORNET!!
