Describe the plot in "Escape from <your town>"

You left out Benton Fraser! How could you? :wink:

Escape from Douglas, Isle of Man

Snake is tearing along on a superbike when an old couple pull out of their house in a camper-van. He tears right through it and survives but loses control of the bike. Legs and arms grazed badly he limps to the sea terminal and boards the Lady of Man (the weather is too bad for the Ben-My-Kree to run).

As the boat nears Heysham they see nothing but fog. The boat can’t land in fog so they have to wait outside the port. Snake is in a hurry so he dives off and decides to swim the rest of the way.
He catches sight of land but before he can get there he’s

eaten by a haddok.

You didn’t.

Escape From Houston

Snake gets in a maroon cab driven by a Texas A & M PhD candidate who assures him he has the perfect route out of town. 12 hours later they run out of gas on the I-610 Loop.

Snake was wondering how many Astrodomes they had in this city! :stuck_out_tongue:

Sent on a mission to recover a book from the Bodleian Library, Snake immediately falls foul of 5,271,009 shrieking Japanese, French and Italian tourists. Escaping from their clutches, he finds himself totally unable to decipher the traffic signals between Beaumont Street and Cornmarket. Fortunately, a passing taxi knocks him in the direction of Broad Street, where, after a series of encounters with drunken undergraduates, he finally reaches his goal.

Here, he waits the requisite six hours for the book to come up from the basement, only to find, at the end of that, that it’s classified as a “curious” text, and he’ll have to wait a further day for it to be trucked in from Nuneham Courtenay. After a restless night trying to sleep, or even sit, on the public benches provided in Cornmarket Street, Snake returns, haggard, to obtain the precious volume. All he has to do, now, is negotiate Oxford’s traffic system on the way to freedom!

However, this is easier said than done, as Snake finds, once he’s dodged the packs of roving Big Issue sellers and their feral dogs, that every route is blocked by hurtling cyclists. Escape seems impossible, until he spots the one place where an Oxford cyclist is never seen. Taking his life in his hand, Snake sprints down the cycle path to safety!

Not my hometown, but I figured, what the hell?

**Escape from Camelot: **

Snake has been assigned to steal the Holy Grail, and lands on the roof of camelot. He quickly discovers that it’s quite a silly place, with much singing and dancing. He soon realizes that the Knights don’t have the holy grail, but it is in the castle protected by annoying frenchmen. He tries to leave but is recognized and captured. He is taken to the torture room, where he is unexpectadly put into the power of the Spanish Inquistion. Eventually he escapes.

And of course, the X-rated Sequel,

Escape from Castle Anthrax:

Snake arrives at this castle, seeing the grail shaped beacon, only to be confronted with hundreds of attractive young women who want to be spanked and give him oral sex. Snake forgets about the grail and never escapes.

I mean, who in their right mind would want to escape from castle anthrax?

And just because I’m feeling silly, and the title is too good to pass up.

Escape from Monkey Island:

Snake finds himself stranded on Monkey Island. He kills all the monkeys, except for Timmy, and makes a raft out of their corpses. He sails to some other island.

Snake moves into a gated community in Collierville, only to find that his home is a shoddily constructed deathtrap slowly sinking into the swampland that the area’s original settlers had the good sense to avoid. After a valiant battle against the tyrannical community organization and huge marauding West Nile infected mosquitoes, Pliskin’s constant diet of Chic-Fil-A, Joe’s Crab Shack, and Outback Steakhouse food finally catches up with him, and he dies of a heart attack. But hey, at least he didn’t have to see any black people!

Escape From Muncie, Indian: Snake Pliskin must kill Jim Davis before he gets written in as a character on Garfield. :stuck_out_tongue:

Ah, but there is a world of difference between East St. Louis and St. Louis.

Escape from Belleville, IL Snake gets a girl pregnant before graduating high school and is then stuck here for the rest of his life working in a gas station. He attempts to take a few classes at SWIC (the community college) but drops them before completion as so many SWIC students do. He spends his free time getting high with the same people he hung out with in high school and maybe sells a little weed to make some extra cash. He loses all motivation for anything and lives out the rest of his mediocre life unfulfilled and unhappy.

I have got to get out of this town. :frowning:

Montreal, 2009…

It has been four years since the Liberal government of Jean Charest collapsed and he went scurrying down the 2 and 20 with the screams of hockey fans, their already tenuous grips on reality evaporating in the neverending NHL strike, ringing in his ears. The newly-elected PQ government wasted no time going mad with power, starting with arming all OLF officers with orders to shoot apostophes on sight. A unilateral declaration of independence followed and the federal government, awash in its own problems, engaged in three years of polite throat-clearing in hopes Quebec would pay attention. The cosmopolitan island-city of Montreal loses patience and the former demerger rebels ally in a new cause - Partition! Within weeks, all the bridges are barricaded and the Lafontaine tunnel glued shut with millions of litres of stale poutine. The island becomes a madhouse of steadily-decaying roads and closed lap-dance strip clubs. Only the vast network of Tim Horton restaurants/donut shops maintain a vague semblence of the great civilization that was.

Snake Plisskin hates the French. Always has. Always will. But a corrupt government has slipped a nanotechnology-based incentive into his burrito. Swim the St. Laurent river into Montreal and recover the secret miniature nuclear reactor, long used to power the rotating Ville-Marie spotlight. If he fails, in 24 hours every cell in his body will perform a partition of his own and he’ll dissolve faster than the credibility of an anti-corruption task force. It’ll be tough going, dodging OLF infiltrators pressuring Snake to change his name to ‘Couleuvre’, as well as rabid Federalists who burn fleurs-des-lys flags and spend days apologizing afterward. Help comes from Kevin and Trudie, still trying desperately to impart their wisdom on familes (the only work that’s worth it!) despite the long-ago immolation of CJAD. The action climaxes after a high-speed chase (well over 180 km/h, because anything less is normal Montreal traffic) ending in a huge pile-up at the interrupted renovations of the Pine-Park interchange.

I don’t know anything about Schenectady, but I honestly think someone should make a movie with that title.

ITR Champion, earlier in the movie, does Snake get stuck in the Music City Roundabout staring at the nekkid statues?

Escape From Frostburg, MD - Snake Pliskin, age unknown, was found dead today on Frostburg University campus, apparently the victim of alcohol poisoning and weed rage. More on the story as it develops, cause hey, we have nothing better to do.

Escape from Pittsburgh: Snake Pliskin teams up with Tom Hardy (Bruce Willis) to get oput of the city by boat, but the river is at flood stage and they are nearly killed when their boat goes over a dam. They are rescued by Sarah Jessica Parker’s character, who sneaks them into PNC Park.

They plan to leave the stadium by blending with the exit crowd from a Pirates game, but it’s hard to hide in a group of ten people. The stadium police chase them through a tunnel into Heinz Field, where Plaxico Burress is picking up some of his stuff he left behind, He offers them a ride to New York, and they all pile in his car. The Parkway is jammed with traffic, and they are spotted again by the police. Burress is captured and everyone gets split up. Snke makes his way to WTAE-TV where he takes Myron Cope hostage and negotiates his way to Monroeville, where he becomes trapped in the mall by flesh-eating zombies. He manages to escape by helicopter from the roof of the mall.

Bruce Willis and SJP go back to work, and we never hear of Burress again.

Escape From Baltimore: Snake accidentally heads west of the MLK, and gets shot in a drug deal gone bad while walking down the street.

Escape from Seattle

Snake frantically tries to drive out, only to be blocked at every turn by a drawbridge opening for a pleasure-cruising sailboat filled with Corona-drinking software developers.

He finally swims for it, only to be trapped in the next district by community street fairs at every intersection.

He disguises himself as a stilt-wearing Liza Minelli and infiltrates the local Pride parade and manages to sneak out again, only to be blocked by a snarl of electric Metro buses that have jumped their wires.

He’s finally rescued by an underground bike messenger gang, who fell in love with his prior ecologically-sensitive hang glider infiltration, and they tow him out tucked into the back of an off-road-wheeled baby carrier.

Escape from Vancouver 2010

Snake has been lulled into believing Vancouver is a paradise on earth by the locals on a visit during the summer, but they have failed to tell him that once summer is over it rains, and does not stop raining until the next summer. Snake had moved to Vancouver in October and it is now December and he haas already endured 4 months without seeing the sun, and is slowly going mad.

Unfortunately there is no way to leave. The ferries can not leave the bay because Greenpeace is blocking the route due to the indigenous fluffy pink seal is currently breeding and even if they leave the staff of the ferries are on a work to rule because the union is sympathizing with the government unions striking workers. Angry loggers have blocked the exit to the north, and hippies are chaining themselves to everything in site to the east, in sympathy for the residence of the east end who have been walled up inside the grounds of Expo 86.

He is told that a homeless crack addict holds the key to getting past the union blockades, old hippies, loggers, and environmentalists who have blocked every exit from the city.

He must break into the omniplex where the former residents of the east end have been sequestered in order to “clean up” the city for the Olympics and free the crack addicts in order to find the one who has the key out. None of the crack addicts want to leave because conditions inside the building are better than they were on the east end before they were moved.

He eventually finds the homeless man who holds the key, only to find that this kay is a man and the man is former premier Mike Harcourt - who was beaten unconscious and mugged as he was passing through the east end - and as the round up occurred he was thrown into the Omniplex along with the homeless “by accident”. Snake knows Harcourt probably can not save him unless Harcourt is used wisely, but may provide a distraction as he tries to escape.

They start to drive out the city, but end up in a series of collisions because nobody in Vancouver can drive. The car no longer has a roof and the front of the vehicle is billowing smoke which hides Snake’s secret weapon “Harcourt”.

As they are about to leave the city - he hands a megaphone to Harcourt places him on the side of the road and the former premier starts talking about the glory days of the NDP and social programs of yore which distracts the hippies until they see it is the man who betrayed them, and start chasing after Mike Harcourt - this gives Snake the chance to get past, when suddenly he sees a bunch of cars heading towards him, and realizes these are the dreaded tourist for the Olympic games - his car is over run, and the screen fades to black.
