Goodbye, Duke of New York

Isaac Hayes passed away this weekend. Sure, most of you kids know him as Chef on SOUTH PARK, but I'm gonna remember his role in ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK. You want to talk about ruling the screen? He did. As the Duke of New York, he ruled with an iron fist from behind the wheel of his silver Caddy, chandeliers for headlights and pure, unrestrained badness oozing from his every pore.
Yeah, so he got punked by the President. But in a straight-up fight, there'd have been no contest.
