80's Movie Weekend

"I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass. And, I'm all out of bubblegum." What a classic line! And that could only be delivered back in 1988 by one of the greatest actors of our generation. That's right, none other than "Rowdy" Roddy Piper! I've never seen this movie, but I'd like to now that I've seen the trailer. The unintentional comedy scale has to be off the charts in this "scary" movie from 1988. You should also recognize Keith David in this trailer for "They Live"... You can actually watch the whole John Carpenter classic on youtube as well if you want to devote an hour and a half of your time to it...
