    Post Greatest fight scene ever...



    And when you've recovered from that...
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    I love the second one, although I now fear I am emotionally scared for life.

    The first video was hilarious.

    The second one, however, I couldn't even force myself to laugh at because of how fake it seems to me.

    Here's my favorite fight scene of all time:

    I love They Live...What a telling story of our current times.

    Gotta give it up for the Piper...he does an admirable job acting in this carpenter film.

    If anyone, and I mean ANYONE has not seen this, RUN not walk to the vid store and rent it.

    Never seen "They live" but judging from that looks like a fun. Does it get the HPOTD seal of approval? Im not so much a fan of Carpenter, some of his films I think are genius other leak fail : Cough : Ghosts of Mars : Cough :
    Why arent you laughing?

    Yeah, it's awesome.

    Ghosts of Mars is a newer Carpenter flick. His newer films aren't so good. He was in his prime in the 80's, though. The Thing, Starman, Escape from NY, The Live. So yeah....see They Live. It's awesome.

    You MUST get this movie!!! Not only is a great sci-fi/action film but, like Skippy said, it is also pretty much a perfect social commentary of the present.

    "Thats like putting perfume on a pig"

    I must say I was disappointed in escape from LA as well as Ggosts of Mars, but this little flick "They Live" was DA BOMB....

    Definitely the fight between Roddy Piper and Keith David in They Live. You got to love that belly-to-back suplex!

    Another memorable fight, even if it was anti-climatic is between Gunny and the Swede in Heartbreak Ridge.
