“…And I’m All Out of Bubblegum” (They Live)
In the John Carpenter anti-establishment classic They Live, a man finds a special pair of sunglasses that allow him to see the world’s true nature. He soon realizes that consumerism is meant to be obeyed and that society was taken over by thousands of aliens disguised as humans.
They Live is an unforgettable horror masterpiece, but curiously enough, the best-known line in the movie was created by the wrestler-turned-actor Roddy Piper, who was given complete creative control. You probably know how it goes: Piper enters a bank with a machine gun and says he’s all about chewing gum and killing aliens… and guess what? He’s “all out of bubblegum!”
