In Escape from New York, the story's big MacGuffin is a special cassette tape that needs to be played to the world in order to avoid or end World War 3.
In a act of anti-hero cynicism at it's finest Snake Plissken destroys the tape after switching it out with a fake. Classic distopian ending to the film.
I'm trying to figure out what brand they used for the tape.
Screen Caps-
It looks like it's an unaltered cassette tape with a black stripe placed over the part of the label that would show the brand of the tape. It appears that a piece of the red logo is poking out though. That's the only clue I have so far.
Here's an amazing site that has a bunch of old cassette tapes organized by brand and color but nothing seems to match up.
Anybody recognize anything familiar about the tape?
