About this product

Product Information

Director John Carpenter's second film is a brutal, realistic story about the siege of a small police precinct by a violent and well-armed gang. The gang is seeking the man who killed some of their members in revenge for the accidental shooting of his daughter. After the father enacts his revenge, he wanders to the police precinct in a distraught state. The poorly manned precinct is being phased out of use and is unprepared for the relentless assult which ensues. The violence in ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13 was shocking for its time and has remained so over the years since its release, mainly due to the stark, unaffected direction of a young Carpenter. Inspired by the cowboys-and-Indians movies Carpenter watched as a boy, the film is more than just an action movie, as it shows the desperation and courage of people living in a violent society. Produced with a modest budget and without Hollywood backing, ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13 is a fine example of how a powerful film can be made with limited resources.

Sight and Sound - ...PRECINCT 13 is filled with delectable bits of business in direction and performances..., New York Times - ...Carpenter is an extremely resourceful director [with an] ability to construct film entirely out of action and movement...

LAs deadliest street gang just declared war on the cops
Assault on Precinct 13 is a 1976 action / thriller movie, directed by John Carpenter. It is an homage to the 1959 film Rio Bravo by Howard Hawks. It is considered by many to be one of the greatest exploitation films ever made. Plot Outline: The lone inhabitants of an abandoned police station are under attack by the overwhelming numbers of a seemingly unstoppable street gang. This is rightly considered a classic cult movie from the 1970's by the once reliable John Carpenter (who also composed the edgy early synth score). Basically it's a faint mish-mash of other movies, the dialogue is reminiscent of great westerns as a black policeman and a white convict battle against gang members in a Night of The Living Dead re-working. It's also tempting to draw Vietnam allegories (as with many ... Assault on Precinct 13 is a 1976 action / thriller movie, directed by John Carpenter.

Plot Outline: The lone inhabitants of an abandoned police station are under attack by the overwhelming numbers of a seemingly unstoppable street gang. This is rightly considered a classic cult movie from the 1970's by the once reliable John Carpenter (who also composed the edgy early synth score). Basically it's a faint mish-mash of other movies, the dialogue is reminiscent of great westerns as a black policeman and a white convict battle against gang members in a Night of The Living Dead re-working. It's also tempting to draw Vietnam allegories (as with many American movies of the mid 1970's and after); the faceless, nameless gang members die in the droves but keep attacking the besieged police station and the lawmen and the lawbreakers, black and white, must unite to defeat them and escape with their lives. The real joy of this movie, however, is the playing of the two virtually unknown leads, Austin Stoker and the late Darwin Joston. They have a great, almost wry chemistry and use Carpenter's stripped-down witty dialogue to great effect. Because there are no 'stars', there are no real expectations, and the shocks when they come (including the famous ice cream sequence) are more shocking for it. The representation of women leaves a little to be desired (the two female characters obviously shop at the same sweater store!) but the character Lee shows some inner strength and resolve, and even has time for some kind of upper hand in terms of sexual tension between herself and Joston's Napoleon Wilson. If you haven't seen this movie I urge you to watch it; in terms of B movies and cult thrillers it's the yardstick in my opinion; simple, stylish, violent, witty and not remotely sentimental.

Assault on Precinct 13 (1975)
I like the original Assault on Precinct 13 because it is a disassociation from the rules, regulations and bureaucracy this society has, which stifle the simple life we all try to lead. I liken it to the single-mindedness of Terminator! Put yourself in the position of any of the main characters and it becomes quite understandable, exciting and rebellious. I bought this as it reminds me there are still wastefull acts which people believe in. A reminder that people get sick of struggling to live, day after day, in a society strangled by too many rules, lack of justice, political correctness and lack of wealth.I like the original Assault on Precinct 13 because it is a disassociation from the rules, regulations and bureaucracy this society has, which stifle the simple life we all try to lead.
