Inside the Iconic Fight Scene in 'They Live,' John Carpenter's Cult Classic Sci-Fi Flick
Roddy Piper and Keith David square off in ‘They Live’ Over 25 years later, movie fans are still talking about the bruising brawl at the center of They Live, John Carpenter’s 1988 cult classic about a drifter (played by the late wrestler “Rowdy” Roddy Piper) who discovers that malicious aliens — disguised as rich people — have taken control of the Earth. The bareknuckle slugfest between Piper and the actor Keith David, which lasts nearly six minutes, has become one of the decade’s most iconic punch-outs, thanks to its relentlessness and its lack of high-flying stunts or special effects — not to mention the pure joy of seeing two tough guys beat the crap out of each other as a high-level conspiracy rages on.
