Ok, so strange things that you found in a movie that really reminded you of something that's completely unrelated, but are too similar.
I watched the movie, Escape From L.A. today, and it completely reminds me of Metal Gear Solid 2 (MGS2): Sons of Liberty. Kurt Russell's character's name is Plisken. Ironically enough, he tells everyone to call him "Snake". He also wears an eye-patch and known to be an espionage soldier. Though he doesn't look like MacGuyver, sounds like MGS to me.
