When his daughter, part of a resistance movement, steals the control unit for a doomsday weapon, Snake again gets tapped to save the day.

is still a fairly fun little exercise in post-apocalyptic action and probably the last genuinely enjoyable film Carpenter ever did (unless you count the "Cigarette Burns" episode of Masters of Horror, of course).

There is no way I would enjoy this more then Escape From New York, I knew that from the get go, so I decided to enjoy it on it's own merits and I did.
The Gnat
This is a fun film to watch, it doesn't try to take itself as seriously as the first film, Escape from New York, and that works in its favor.
