Both wishing to live in a land of freedom, after government corruption. Snake Plissken as seen in LA a world without power. They fight for themselves, Big Boss a world for soldiers. Without a doubt Big Boss and Snake Plissken are very alike. Solid Snake has mixed feelings about caring for humanity and ignoring them, and he has never broken the law. He says for a little that he doesn't give a damn but deep down, he loves the war and being a soldier to the end. he is a government tool, and eventually becomes tired of this but continues to get used anyway. Solid Snake however is a loyalist and saves the world because he wants to. They are more alike if anything they were both used, eye patch, hair, crimes etc. He isn't a government tool like Big Boss. Snake Plissken only now saves the world because he has to, when his freedom is threatened. When it was over, he kinda wanted compensation so he began participating in heists robbing the government. He became blind in a plane crash and lost friends and family in the war. who received medals of honor for being a great infiltrator in Leningrad. Snake Plissken was a convicted bank robber and war vet. Kojima, passionate about creating his own stealth hit and (with his love for the protagonist Snake Plissken) wished to re create his vision of Snake so he wrote a letter to John Carpenter saying he was a huge fan of his sci-fi stealth action movie asked for his blessing and permission to inspire his counterpart like Snake Plissken.Īlthough the characters are similar in appearance, names and habits they are two very different people in nature however Snake Plissken's hate for government I can kinda see in Big Boss. Hideo Kojima, MGS creator said in one of his interviews that when he was a kid, his favourite movie was - you guessed it - Escape from New York. I would assume Snake looks the same in both. NOTE: I've only seen LA and haven't been able to find where my dad has kept New York. I am wondering if there is some sort of link between Snake Plissken and the young Snake's from Metal Gear as to my knowledge Konami, the developers behind the Metal Gear games had no hand in the development of the Escape From movies and vice versa and the similarities are way too numerous to be just a coincidence. In the third Metal Gear Solid Games, Naked Snake looses one of his eyes which ends up being his trademark in all of his other appearances not to mention he looks like Solid Snake from the second Metal Gear Solid Games.įinally, both Snake Plissken and the Snakes from Metal Gear smoke. The two are quite similar, both are given stealth missions, for are former military and special ops and in Metal Gear Solid, Solid Snake is shocked to find that the leader of FOXHOUND Liquid Snake looks just like him and cuts his hair before the mission, Liquid Snake looks quite similar to Snake Plissken.īecause Solid and Liquid Snakes are identical twin clones of their father Big Boss.Īlso in the second Metal Gear Solid Games Solid Snake's hair has grown back some and it is similar to Snake Plissken's hair. However in the Metal Gear Series there is a character who has the code name Solid Snake and goes by the name Iroquois Pliskin in the second Metal Gear Solid Games. In the movies Escape from New York and Escape from LA there is a character called Snake Plissken.
