They Live

Starring Rowdy Roddy Piper


Rowdy Roddy Piper is a drifter who discovers a pair of sunglasses while investigated a church that was inexplicably attacked by military force. When he puts on the glasses, he learns the hidious truth behind the world that he lives in. Aliens have taken over, but no one knows this. They are among us, and now Rowdy Roddy Piper can see them. He's going to make them pay with interest.

Let me just start be saying that I love this movie. It completely rules. It's Rowdy Roddy Piper kicking a bunch of ass. Seriously, he notices that there are a bunch of freaks walking around, and when they realize this they try to kill him. So he kicks their ass. All of them. The acting, story, ad directing are rock solid. Except for the fight scene between Rowdy Roddy Piper and his friend who refuses to wear the glasses. That just went on for too long. Other than that, it's a great flick. One of the John Carpenter's classic masterpieces.

Rowdy: "I'm here to chew bubble gum, and kick ass. And I'm all out of bubble gum,"

That's the best quote of the movie. The guys who made Duke Nukem 3D, obviously agreed.

***1/2 out of ****
