“The feeling is definitely there. It’s a new morning in America… fresh, vital. The old cynicism is gone. We have faith in our leaders. We’re optimistic as to what becomes of it all. It really boils down to our ability to accept. We don’t need pessimism. There are no limits.”

They Live is a 1988 American science fiction action horror film written and directed by John Carpenter, based on the 1963 short story “Eight O’Clock in the Morning” by Ray Nelson. Starring Roddy Piper, Keith David, and Meg Foster, the film follows an unnamed drifter who discovers through special sunglasses that the ruling class are aliens concealing their appearance and manipulating people to consume, breed, and conform to the status quo via subliminal messages in mass media.
one of the best one-on-one, back alley fist fights.
this movie is great in every aspect except maybe special effects… i mean it was the 80s. luckily they are trivial to the plot.
Oh yeah that scene is legendary.
Someone should recreate the fight scene as a skit where a friend buys a buddy a new pair of sunglasses but he hates them so they fight about it for 15 mins.
