the fight scene....
The look on Keith David's face when his car is damaged and they both stop fighting for a second is hilarious.

And, oh God, the fight scene....its like you kinda think it might not ever end.
Anyone's who watches South Park knows this is where they got the idea for the (in)famous "cripple fight" between Jimmy and Timmy. Absolutely hysterical!

According to Matt and Trey, the cripple fight is the They Live fight, frame for frame.

The acting is soo bad, not the story. The Actors. Oh well :(

And do you honestly think they would change the acting and nothing else? No, they would shit on this movie the way they do with most of the other ones. Or, it will be a completely different movie. The campiness is why its a classic. or, part of why.

Look at the Dawn of the Dead remake, I mean... both movies are different and good. I just couldn't get into the movie with the main actor and I think the movies social views would appeal more to today. :confused:

i dont get the Piper bashing ..
I wanted to say look what a good director can do with a bad actor even before i saw the other posts... Piper was great in the film, i cant imagine it being done any differently.

You want to see what a bad director does with Roddy .. see Hell Comes to Frogtown.

There is no point in remaking this film ...
although Carpenter isnt exactly a stranger to remaking his own films ..

Ghosts of MArs was just a sloppy remake of Assault on Precinct 13 and look what crap that turned out to be.

Let They Live alone .. its a great film.
