They Live
 

They just showed this on AMC 'fear Fridays' (a new horror schedule) it was pretty cool. I liked how the Aliens used Capitolism and Politics to subliminally control the humans. That one and 'Hell Comes to Frogtown' (yikes! so silly! He plays one of the last fertile men on Earth captired by Women) are classic Roddy Piper.

THEY LIVE
 

One of my favorites. I *never* get tired of watching this movie . . . .

THE BEST fight scene in a movie EVER. It's such a damn brawl. Did you guys see the South Park episode Cripple Fight? It's the same fight blow for blow. I love They Live (plus it's got Buck Flower)

Love Hell Comes to Frogtown too. It just has the best storyline ever. They are definitely Piper's best films.

"This is your god."

I never realized that! I've seen that episode, but never thought about it that it was the same fight as in 'They Live'. I'll check that episode out right now, I have it somewhere burned on cd. That fight between Keith David and Roddy Piper is truly a classic scene!

Alot of people are surprised when I tell them that. Tell what you think after you watch it though. There are very few differences.

I just watched it, and my God, you're totally right! In the beginning, Jimmy tells Timmy to 'put on the hat' (instead of the sunglasses in 'They Live'). The fight sequence includes a suplex, fighting on a car, ... The resemblance is striking! Jimmy even helps Timmy up and then knocks him down again, just like in the movie. Jimmy even repeats the 'put on the hat' part. Really, it's the same fight scene than in 'They Live' (but between cripples, of course).

Thanks for pointing this interesting fact out avenger00soul!

You're welcome. Those South Park guys crack me up. Did you see the episode where they were poking fun at the Pet Sematary guy? I can't remember the episode, but it was funny and unexpected as well.

I think you're talking about 'The Wacky Molestation Adventure'. It's the episode where all the adults are gone from South Park (because every child accused them of molestation). At one point, 2 adults from out of town are talking to some children from kindergarten. They ask the kids what they want and they answer 'we want to play with yooouuuuuu' much like the kid said in 'Pet Sematary', after he awoke from the death.

This episode also reminds me of 'Children of the Korn'. Two people who are passing on the highway, have car trouble, and thus they go to (the adult-abandoned) south park. At one point Cartman has the woman and yells out 'outlander, outlander, we have your woman, she's still alive'. Just like in the movie 'Children of the Korn'. Plus some of the kids (Butters) try to sacrifice themselves, also like in the movie.

The episode I'm talking about has a guy saying "You don't wanna go down that road. That road leads to the indian burial ground." It was something like that. Anyway, he says it just like Herman Munster in Pet Sematary. I can't remember anything else about the episode.

I think I know. It's the episode called 'Spooky Fish'. It's about a fish Stan gets from his aunt. It kills some people and it's later revealed to be from the 'Indian Burial Ground Pet Store'.

It was a Halloween episode and I think that it might be the episode you're thinking about.

"i take them off, and she looks normal right?" "i put them on.........Flormaldihyde Face"
LMAO that movie is great.

that fight scene is classic too.

the only thing I like about the movie is the fight scene.... just not my type of movie...

If you liked They Live, be sure to check out Big Trouble In Little China, another great Carpenter movie. It's less horror, more action-comedy, but still a great movie. One of the first DVDs I got when I got my DVD player, was a definate priority adding that one to my collection.

Also, if you want straight horror, watch Prince Of Darkness.
