Post 2001 and THX 1138, DARK STAR offered on the surface a more darkly humorous presentation of the future, telling the story of the final days of the crew of the DARK STAR, well into their 20 year mission of travelling to newly discovered star systems and destroying unstable planets that may present a danger to future attempts at colonization. Written by Carpenter and Dan O’Bannon (who would later write ALIEN) and starring a small cast of non-actors, including O’Bannon himself as the film’s earnest protagonist, Sgt. DARK STAR began life as a student film at USC, filmed over three years as funding became available. Released in 1974, DARK STAR was John Carpenter’s first feature length film. It wasn’t until the film played at Cannes and the 1977 London Film Festival that it gained favorable notices and earn more success, including its stature as a cult film. On its initial release in Los Angeles in 1976, ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13 received mixed reviews and poor returns at the box office. As the siege begins, the few remaining staff members and patrol officer Ethan Bishop (Stoker) must set aside their differences and work together to survive long enough for help to arrive. On the day of the siege, a bus transporting three prisoners arrives, including notorious criminal Napoleon Wilson (Jostin). Their first target is local Precinct 13, scheduled to be shut down and operating with a minimal staff. In retaliation, the rival gangs make a blood vow and unite to form one giant army, declaring war on the LAPD. ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13 takes place in Los Angeles and begins with a surprise massacre of several gang members of different ethnicities carried out by members of the Los Angeles Police Department. Released in 1976, ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13 is John Carpenter’s second feature film and stars Austin Stoker, Darwin Joston, Laurie Zimmer, Tony Burton, Martin West, Charles Cyphers, Nancy Loomis, Kim Richards and Frank Doubleday.
