Wow. These guys just don't live long.

They Live is a classic, believe it or not. It's still talked about in the movie buff community. I can't believe there weren't any sequels or he didn't get any more big movie parts afterwards.

Indeed, it was a gem - different from the story it was based on, but had a neat earth-as-a-Third-World-sweatshop twist, with the upper crust being sellouts. Scariest line "We have one who can see."

He did a good job in another cult-type tongue-in-cheek movie called Hell Comes To Frogtown".

This from an IMDB plot summary:
'Hell' is the name of the hero of the story. He's a prisoner of the women who now run the USA after a nuclear/biological war. Results of the war are that mutants have evolved, and the human race is in danger of extinction due to infertility. Hell is given the task of helping in the rescue of a group of fertile women from the harem of the mutant leader (resembling a frog). Hell cannot escape since he has a bomb attached to his private parts which will detonate if he strays more than a few hundred yards from his guard.

IMO, the greatest scene is where a frog-faced woman (GREAT body) thinks he wants sex again and brings out a paper bag.

Very left-wing pic.

Last year's The Purge: Anarchy was a rip-off (or homage, if you prefer).
