"" I've come here to kick ass and chew bubblegum... And I'm all out of bubblegum."
A cult classic sci-fi film, Roddy Piper kills it as an average guy, down on his luck, who, with the aid of special sunglasses, is able to see the REAL world that has been overrun by aliens.
Also, one of the best back alley fistfights ever put to film. 9/10"
"Ah, yes did you mean the modern day! Haha. But seriously this movie still is as Relevant now as it was when it came out..it’s aged but in that crisp clean 80s way that you can’t get enough of while taking about the importance of Capitalism feeding off of and brainwashing the general public into mindless work, sleep, shop reproduce zombies. Perfect movie to put on when you and the besties are Tearing down the government. #horror #science_fiction "
"Talk about a movie that aged well! Not only was this movie great for its ahead of its time anticapitalist message, but this move was also really fun. John Carpenter made something that is what we rarely see in Hollywood: ORIGINAL! I loved how the humor was sprinkled in with the cheesy action dialogue and most definitely had a memorable main character. John Carpenter also proves how he's a master of suspense with some of the jump scares throughout the film. This is one of those movies where you can't really pinpoint the genre since it's a nice melting pot of action, sci-fi, horror, and comedy. I was fortunate enough to watch this in the theaters for its 35th anniversary re-release. Highly recommend!!"
"Decent enough. Really enjoyed it at the beginning but towards the middle it kinda lost me but I was determined to finish it anyways. The ending ticked me off but the very end, like very last scene was the best part of the movie to me, I got a good laugh out of it 😂 “formaldehyde face” is a new insult I will be using for the rest of my life 😂😂😂"
