They Live!/Awesome


 * "I have come here to Chew Bubblegum and kick ass...and I'm all out of bubblegum."
 * The alien cop tells him "you know, you look as ugly to us as we do to you." To which he responds: "I highly doubt that."
 * I'm surprised no one has mentioned That Fistfight. You know, the nine minute one where just as you think it's over, each of the combatants gets back their second wind. . . then their third. . . their fourth. . . their fifth. ..
 * John Carpenter points out that said fist fight took three weeks (!) to rehearse.
 * Nada destroys the transmitter for the aliens' signal, and the last thing he does  is to give the aliens   the finger. Epic way to end the movie.
 * The transition shot of Nada and Co walking out of the warehouse between the police driving into pursuit. The extreme close-up of Nada is one of the best transition shots in this troper's opinion.
