Escape from New York – reimagined on the Commodore 64.
John Carpenter’s legendary main theme is a perfect match for the raw, dark and gritty sound of the C64 SID chip.
Those pulsing basslines, cold synth melodies and dystopian vibes feel right at home in 8-bit.
This is a hand-crafted C64 SID cover, made with love for classic movies, vintage synths and the unmistakable sound of the Commodore 64.
No AI – just pure 8580 SID programming and old-school chiptune passion.
🎬 Original music by John Carpenter
🖥️ Performed on the Commodore 64 (8580 SID)
🎶 8-Bit / Chiptune / Retro Synth

![Kill Bill made this Tune a Legend | Battle Without Honor or Humanity [C64 8-Bit]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/W3OTFvZL6bA/mqdefault.jpg "Kill Bill made this Tune a Legend | Battle Without Honor or Humanity [C64 8-Bit]
Kids are here from Fortnite.
Men are here from Bumblebee in Transformers (2007).
Legends are here from OG Kill Bill.
That was an actual YouTube comment under the orginal music video and honestly… it perfectly sums up the journey of this iconic track.
Originally composed by Tomoyasu Hotei, Battle Without Honor or Humanity became legendary through Kill Bill: Volume 1, later appeared in Transformers, and eventually even found its way into Fortnite. (any many other as well, Super Mario Bros, Shrek 3)
But today… it travels back in time.
This is my 8-bit C64 SID interpretation, created in Goattracker and recorded on a real Commodore 64 using the 8580 SID chip — no emulation, no plugins, just raw hardware.
Turning such a bold, guitar-driven anthem into a 3-channel SID arrangement is always a challenge. The original thrives on attitude, groove and punch — so the goal was not just to recreate it, but to translate its energy into authentic 8-bit form.
From Tarantino coolness to 80s silicon.
Which generation are YOU from?
Kids.
Men.
Or Legends? 🕹️
Thanks again ND of Pretzel Logic (Andrew Oakley) for this Pixel Masterpiece!
