Description

Screen used miniature created by Robert & Dennis Skotak for John Carpenter's "Escape from New York". Made of wood with painted windows.   This Prop comes from a collection of 13 miniature special effects skyscrapers from Kurt Russell “Snake Plissken’s” memorable fly-in sequence above the streets of New York City (second photo).   Snake pilots his glider between the city’s buildings that are rendered in miniature. My building (and the buildings in the picture) is constructed for the visual effects sequence dispalyed on Plissken's glider monitors. This prop was made by the Skotak Brothers.   A nice miniature of visual effects from this cult classic.
