What's that reference? "I came here to chew gum and kick ass, and I'm all out of chewing gum." Help me out here.

I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass. And I'm all out of bubblegum.

Roddy Piper as Nada in John Carpenter's They Live (1988).

I love that flick...

You hit the nail on the head, Mike. But there is, uh, a rather raunchy street way of saying the same thing.

You know, the one where the man says all he has is hard whatever and bubblegum, just chewed his last stick, see where he's coming from?

Now let that marinate...

Ah! They Live!

The fight scene in the alley is classic.

I was drawing a blank on the quote, except for the idea that it might have been Snake Plisskin in Escape from New York, (another John Carpenter flick).
