It's been a while since I posted. If you care that I've left you for so long, I apologize. This post will have a passing reference to why I've not posted in a while, so pay attention yo!
I'm a huge Roddy Piper mark, and I'm ashamed that it's taken me about 3 months from getting my hands on the DVD to actually watching it.
My review is as follows... YAY!
Watch it - I enjoyed it. And for someone who hates most movies he sees, that really is saying something.
Piper plays a construction worker in the movie, and so quite naturally, wears a checked lumberjack-style shirt. Upon noticing that, I thought to myself "Ahhh, I put on a lumberjack-style shirt today didn't I?". I looked down at myself to confirm the fact and was surprised to see that my own wardrobe department had provided me with a real life hidden Easter egg.
I've never felt like such a sad bastard in all my life. I used to boast: "I may be a huge wrestling fan, but I have a wife! A real life woman!". Now that I can't say that without relying on a legal technicality, me wearing a Hotrod t-shirt and eating my dinner on my own in a dimly-lit living room with no furniture in it whilst watching a movie with Rowdy Roddy Piper in it seems somewhat sad.
One of the movie's highlights of course is one of the best fight scenes in cinema...
The greatest thing about that video is the awesome shot with the money straight into the box at the beginning.
Trivia fans most likely know that the now infamous Cripple Fight scene in South Park is almost a shot for shot plagiarism, sorry, 'homage' to this fight.
For the greatest bit of Piper swearing (pre "Hogan's Heroes") click here and fast forward to 6 minutes.
That's it for now. Wrestling's been boring lately, hence a post about a movie as old as I am.

I agree with everything about that post. Especially these two:
They Live rules.
Wrestling is boring as f### right now.
I thought you were quoting me there. I had to double check I'd not used foul language in my post!
I may talk like a sailor in real-life, but this is the internet, standards are to be maintained!
Absolutely. I apologize Mr. Christ.
Ahaha! "You crazy mother"
The whole film is full of things like that. I love the 80s.
Thanks for reading Kelsi, and thanks for posting too!
