The ideas behind They Live are fascinating and deserved better treatment than a 20-minute alley fight about sunglasses.

I love that movie, and that fight scene, but damn you're right.

Thank you! I was being as tactful as possible, since negative statements about any aspect of that movie whatsoever, or the acting skills of Roddy Piper, usually receive nothing but douchevotes and insults lol. It's a very entertaining movie.

I absolutely love Rody's acting in that movie. If You think his acting is bad in this movies watch Hell Comes To Frogtown, you'll appreciate They Live more.
