Thompson] Comment [Kelli
Thompson [Garris]/Unit Publicist]: "I remember that the film finished under
budget and ahead of schedule. I was disappointed that there were no crew gifts.
Shortly before attending the cast and crew screening I received a package in the
mail. In it was a t-shirt with an image of the watch/timer Snake wears on his
wrist and it said something like "21 hours and 23 minutes until Escape From New
York!" It was from John Strobel, the actor who played Cronenberg. He personally
had the t-shirts made and then distributed via mail to the cast and crew.
It appears other
crew members got different "I Love Escape From New York" t-shirts.I mailed him a thank
you note. When I was at the cast and crew screening he sought me out and thanked
me for the card and told me I was the only person that thanked him or even
acknowledged his gift. I still have the t-shirt around here somewhere though I
cut the sleeves off to make it a tank top at one point."
