THEY LIVE "Really Long Fight" Clip (1988) John Carpenter

[@spasebar]

This scene is an allegory of how hard some people fight to avoid even trying to see things from a differently.

[@roscoeshreder875]

And reversing ideology. Changing ideology is always violent.

[@JohnSmith-qn3ob]

It's also an allegory for a CRIPPLE FIGHT!!!!

[@E-Lazarus]

The black guy actually knows from the start that his friend is right. He refuses to put on the glasses because he ALREADY knows that he gonna see smth that he does not want to see. This is a fight for his comfort zone.

[@spasebar]

YES. This is why this fight os so long. It shows how hard some people will fight out of fear of seeing things differently and having their beliefs challenged. This is Cinema.

[@E-Lazarus]

@@spasebar The real one. Not like modern fem Marvel-DC shi

[@Negus1k]

Bingo

[@ValiantWrestling]

His name is Frank, not "the black guy".

[@E-Lazarus]

@@ValiantWrestling He can have whatever name he wants. He is black guy. And he got beaten by the white guy of whatever name he also has. Fact.

[@lilghoul8820]

Keith David a goat and one of my favorite actors/voice actors of all time, and as a wrestling fan, Roddy Piper was ahead of his time, rip to him

[@sceanlyonz4571]

Met Roddy Rowdy Piper back 2015 and what great gut he was!!!AMAZING

[@Jollyman432]

rip

[@ellishotomani1462]

"Now put on the sunglasses, or start eating that trash can." Best line ever.

[@exilius333]

Always remember when you argue with others... are we arguing over a false dichotomy? Are we clinging to false certainty? Are we designed to protect the very prison that has ensnared us? We must fight compassionately to wake each other up to whatever truth we find... and we must be willing to surrender to the truths others may have... the human family must survive together.

[@JEWELSLAYER42]

Wow I love this way of thinking

[@mistyguy9997]

Playing a lot of Persona 4 I see. We must find the truth....🤝

[@arnieiam]

Easily my favourite fight scene in any movie, period. The fact that it's realistic where their punches get sloppier as they get more tired. The fact that it just GOES ON makes it so funny to watch. And finally it actually serves the story! Oh and as a bonus, they put in some wrestling moves too 😃😃😃

[@SuperBaptiste98]

The most intelligent fighting scene in cinema history

[@davidradich9342]

Best fight scene ever!

[@Weaver1-s4k]

That would be Chuck Norris vs Bruce Lee

[@oafee]

Men are funny like that… 2 guys who have an all out fight and nobody stops it… 9 times outta 10 they end up friends. Good friends even.

[@chindleymuffin]

I like the Behind the Scenes video about this fight on the 4K remastered picture Blu Ray release from StudioCanal, they planned out most of the moves before hand doing several takes, Roddy Piper & Keith David having input for the best moves and John Carpenter was figuring out how to hide the thin mattresses from being seen by the cameras. The commentary is very informative, as well as very entertaining, it seems John Carpenter and Roddy Piper got along extremely well. Roddy kept saying that he overacted in several scenes, but Carpenter kept saying that he did very well for his first movie role. The story that Roddy Piper says during the motel scene with Keith David actually happened to Roddy when he was a kid, so he's genuinely speaking from the heart.

[@bottwaandcalover]

Ok, I woke up from a dead sleep with "not this year..." playing in my mind and I just had to rewatch this scene to see it, and I'm going to point out why Carpenter is my favorite filmmaker of all time: People often give Roddy's one liners the best coverage, such as with the classic "all outta bubblegum", or in this case the "start eating that trashcan" lines, but that's not what makes it great. Keith David's response is the punchline and the best line in the dang movie. "Not this year." There are so many implications in those 3 words. I could list them all, but I would almost GUARANTEE that in John Carpenter's mind the jokiest, easiest to obtain and simultaneously the most baffling reason he said "Not This Year" is because it implies that this exact bizzarre scenario happens to him at least on a yearly basis and he remembers the last time clearly. Comedic Genius.

Most savage fight ever.

[@mediasawdust2458]

"...ok....alright..." Great way to start it.

"Not this year'

[@dmxdxl]

Seriously one of the greatest fight scenes in movie HISTORY, TELL ME I'M WRONG!!!!...

[@Havoc62]

Maaaannn... I was 7 when this movie came out. Didn't really see it until my late 20's or 30's. This scene has a metric shitton of depth far exceeding it's entertainment value.

[@eatmyshorts3147]

It came out the year I was born:) but luckily, my dad showed me 80s action flicks, and I quickly learned what I missed out on

[@PossiblyACat]

This was what I watched instead of the Tyson Paul fight.

[@xboxmaster6574]

Outstanding

[@psychoakustic]

This is hilarious fight scene! It made me laught, that how good it is))

[@oblock312stonyhunga3]

The leg trip from ground position on david from Pipper after having the haggis smashed to holy heck was pretty smart in terms of being on the short end of the shillelagh. 😅😂

[@As_ad_A]

I like the length of this clip and where you've started it perfect timing, however the video quality is weak compared to one on KZbin released two years earlier but that only starts 1min 20 seconds into this one.

[@Machete87]

gonna sound like a stupid question, but is Keith David from Detroit? i notice alot of the characters he plays comes from Detroit both Frank n Al Simmons(Spawn) are from Detroit.

[@danilob766]

nope, he's from NY

[@samuelattias148]

Live It Up

[@Catceptionv2]

I love how he instantly forgets about his back window being smashed like “ok I forgive you brother you made me see white people for who they really are, you a real one”

[@MassDeportation]

Are the cars ok?

[@txbluesguy]

They Live is true. Except for the space alien part. We do it to ourselves.

[@rmls34]

Basically a documentary.

[@BramsCommando]

The most long pulled most unnecessary fight in movie history

[@Jb991-q9x]

Ur mom is long pulled

[@E-Lazarus]

I was thinking the same back in the days. Then I realized what the black guy is actually fighting for. For his not-knowing.

[@Jb991-q9x]

Truth hurts

[@Frank-wn4nx]

I too asked, my God, why is this fight scene sooooooooooooo long. Now I know, this is how hard it is to wake people up and show them what’s happening in the world.

[@Frank-wn4nx]

The vision provided by the sunglasses is a metaphor for seeing the truth.

[@Orthuzz]

What did he mean by "Not this year" :D

[@Orthuzz]

dislike for clickbait picture
