Assault on Precinct 13 was one of his films with a smaller budget. He was asked to create it for under $100,000, but he would be given full creative control. Although this film wasn’t originally a smash at the box office, it became a cult classic over the years. There was even a remake created in 2005, starring Laurence Fishburne and John Leguizamo.
“I shot the opening of Assault on Precinct 13 myself, using a hand-held camera, following the gang coming out of a doorway and walking down an alley, then they hear something but go on and are suddenly gunned down, and you look up and see the police ambush above. I knew that it would be a bit self-conscious, but that people would pay attention to it right away, and then I could get on with the film and move them into it.”
Assault on Precinct 13 has a 94 percent critic rating onRotten Tomatoes with one reviewer saying, "Perhaps Carpenter's best film next to The Thing, this is a model of low-budget filmmaking, with a tight script, appropriately tight-lipped actors and atmospheric location shooting."
The film was recently named one of the "Perfect Action Movies That Are About 90 Minutes Long" by Collider, so you can watch it in under two hours. It is currently available to rent on Amazon Prime Video.
