They Live!/Trivia

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Beam Me Up, Scotty: The Chew Bubblegum line gets switched up a lot to "I'm here to kick ass and chew bubblegum."
  • Hey, It's That Guy!: Molly is played by Meg Foster from Blind Fury and The Osterman Weekend.
  • Prop Recycling: The PKE Meter from Ghostbusters is used as an alien communication device.
  • Throw It In: The famous "Chew Bubblegum" line was, in fact, an ad-lib by Roddy Piper. There's also the very, very long fist fight between Nada and Frank. It was supposed to be cut down, but the creators enjoyed the fight so much, they decided to leave the whole thing in.
