… and I’m all outta bubblegum.” The most quoted (and misquoted) scene from the 1988 John Carpenter classic “They Live” starring WWE superstar Rowdy Roddy Piper (RIP). Loved this when I first saw it. Definitely worth watching again. #wwe #rowdy_roddy_piper #theylive #mildly_interesting #80s #80s_movies #johncarpenter

Not everyone quotes the same source. "I'm here to kick ass and chew gum, and I'm all out of gum" -Duke Nukem

This movie came before Duke Nukem.

3 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 2

Yeah, you're right. But it has nothing to do with my point.

3 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

True. I guess I say it’s a misquote because the originality of the “bubblegum and kicking ass” is a clear nod from Nukem to They Live.

Wouldve been a great 5 min short film but they had to ruin it with overblown extended trilogy version of a fight scene about eyewear refusal

Ill dig deeper. They Live is an example of wasted potential. Great premise, extremely lousy under developed story & execution.

3 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 5

Haha! It’s a John Carpenter movie. ALL of his movies can be described similarly but it’s still so much better than you have done.

3 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

They Live is VERY hard for me to rewatch. It just leaves me with disappointment at the ruined potential

to clarify, The Thing is perfect. Its incredible. Chrisne is great. BTLC is great fun dumb movie.

It's a mishmash of Duke Nukem and this resulting in a Mandela effect of some sort

3 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

I suspect that most Mandela effects are the result of people conflating multiple similar things.

Few, if any, are caused by actual dimensional slippage. The guys in charge are usually good about that sort of thing.

Yessss. If you wanna get a rowdy game of it, play it with shots.

8 shots in 90 minutes is puking territory. (big) sips work though

3 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

No need to actually fill each shot with 1.5oz/45ml. The point vs sips is just having discrete units of bubblegum.

Yeah. I've done it with a mixed drink in shot glasses
