"THEY LIVE" (USA) 1988
Director: John Carpenter.
Stars: Roddy Piper, Keith David, Meg Foster.
Not a classic in any way, shape or form. The idea's behind "They Live" are strong. The first part of this film concentrates on building the lead character's background. Set in the familiar surroundings of recession hit L.A.. You get to see things that are normally hidden from regular Hollywood movies. The film also delves into 'subliminal messaging'.
With a clever script writer, this film would make for a great remake.
Jacknoir.
Not to mention, one of the best street fight scenes ever filmed, between Piper and David. And Piper's awesome fall down a hillside after being thrown off a balcony/deck.
