The movie is so great that society remade it in real life.
TriColoredTiger. Ain't that the truth,wish I could give you a 100 thumbs up.
correct
@TriColoredTiger give this man a beer
They've taken over the media, Hollywood, politicians, and the minds of Young people: what are their names?
TriColoredTiger lol
Keith David is such a underrated actor.
Goliath from gargoyles
@@TheMegatron673 Spawn
@@AW-mz6ml where you get spawn from?
Yes lonestar. We meet for the first time for the last time.
He also played the Arbiter Covenant alien in the Halo games as well, I can recognise that voice anywhere!
Keith reppin' the Third Street Saints with the full purple set.
Czikkan Hardt Lol yup
ikr
I'm dying!!!!!
Yeah,Keith voices Julius and his saint row version.Boss has reason why he pick Keith,not King despite King has talented leadership due his empire building experience because Keith is sound like Julius as he can be leadership just like Julius.
LMFAOO
RIP Rowdy Piper, best badass in the business, and one heck of an actor too.
Damn
He truly nailed the role, I ALWAYS roll my eyes when they cast celebrities like singers and wrestlers, regardless if they were a singer I admire like David Bowie or wrestler like John Cena, as I wonder if they have the ability to act or think they do. Rowdy Piper (RIP) did and he was awesome in the lead, I wish he were here to talk about the film and how he had fun during filming the fight like picking up Keith and asking “Where do I put him?”.
@@uscman you know the irony here? David Bowie got his Ziggy Stardust and Aladdin sane characters by copying at that time Nature Boy Adrian Street who would later become exotic Adrian Street. Marc Bolan of T-Rex admitted in an interview where he got the inspiration for his costumes " from watching Adrian Street wrestle on television". Not necessarily the glam rock movement itself, but the Wardrobe for the Glam Rock movement was inspired by a professional wrestler.
@@RobwLPOC Wow, that’s really cool!
Carpenter met him at Wrestlemania 3, and mention that he had more life in him then any actor he met at the time.
The golden rule. He who has the gold makes the rules.
It’s so sad Roddy Piper couldn’t be with present to discuss They Live with Keith David. RIP Roddy Piper.
I sure do hope they have bubblegum in heaven.😁
Rowdy should've won an award for that movie
Since it's a B-horror/sci-fi movie it couldn't have been possible. There are thousands of great movies that get rejected because of their genre. Usually, comedy and horror get looked under as "low-brow". They do sometimes have their own awards but they tend to have a very niche audience.
Keith David is a legend
Keith David has one of the all time greatest voices.
Imagine your first two movies being "The Thing" & "Platoon"? Keith David could have stopped acting then and would still be a recognizable star to millions of people today!
keith killing it in saints purple XD
For me, that is the most real on screen fight I've ever seen! Brutal!
This one and the one between Nick Nolte and Eddie Murphie in 48 hours
Keith David is so cool
They live is a lot more than what these guys a narrating , it literally says how hard it is to awaken people to the evil rulers of this world.
THE MAIN THING IS , JOHN CARPENTER KNEW ABOUT IT! AND WAS TELLING IT IN THE BEST SIMPLEST WAY HE HAD THE ABILITY TO DO!! AND THE STUDIOS MADE HIM PAY FOR IT MOST OF HIS CAREER DELIBERATLY, CAUSE OF THE FILMS HE WANTED TO MAKE AND SHOW !!! JOHN CARPENTER KNEW.
@@rexxbailey2764 Do you mean the Illuminati is real?
@@rexxbailey2764You think Carpenter knew something?
Yeah but that’s still fantasy and open to interpretation
The greatest fight scene in film history.
The fact that South Park did a remake of this fight in the episode "Cripple Fight" only shows how iconic the fight scene in They Live is.
RIP Hot Rod
so did Saints Row 4 and the character Duke Nukem is entirely based on Roddy's character in the film, even stealing some of his catch phrases.
Rowdy gone too soon he’s a legend
Best movie fight of all time!
I appreciate that the interviewer cares enough to properly research. The fact that she knows Roddy was a wrestler and they take "bumps" tells me she has more journalistic integrity than most you'll see on TV.
Great to see Keith David reflecting on that iconic fight in they live.
Nice to hear nobody really got hurt shooting that scene. It sure looked brutal.
Arbiter with that clean purple suit. 👌🏼
Were it so Easy...
"Now how's this muthafucka wake up after thousands of years in the ice?!"
Keith, Denzel, Tony Todd, Morgan Freeman and Danny Glover all in one narrative or documentary it would be cool, soothing, awesome vocal heaven.
davsny5 I'd sub Morgan for James Earl Jones or Dennis Haysbert though 💯
@@shanenolan85 yeah, honestly Morgan Freeman has done too many narrations that it doesnt feel the same anymore. Could definitely use more Vader/Mufasa though
U forgot to mention
Carl Weathers
How did you forget James Earl Jones?
He finally listen to Piper.......he put the glasses on!!
How i wish Hot Rod was still around and in this interview, that guy was always a joy to watch no matter what he was doing
Rest In Paradise Roddy Piper
Keith David is an all American bad ass
Keith David was awesome as Al “Spawn” Simmons.
Not him. Michael jai White
Wrong guy
slaytanic921 He was in the 1997 to 1999 Animated Series
@@joshuamoore4537 He also recently voiced Spawn in Mortal Kombat 11
Absolutely! The perfect voice for the psychologically tortured Al Simmons.
Keith David was awesome in that movie, just a cool actor and person...
Keith David is probably the most underrated actor of his time.
John carpenters movies are all ahead of its time relevant to what is happening now!
Keith David, like Morgan Freeman, will never go broke with his voiceover talents.
He was also great in the thing.
Still one of my favourite fights on film. It's raw, it's overt he top, and it even gets a few laughs. I can see why Carpenter wanted David for the role. Him and Piper were great together.
Best movie fight seen of all time!
He's Shepard's commanding officer in the Mass Effect Games! 👌🏾
Absolutely love this film, the movie was ahead of its time and believe me its all happening today, the movie sends a clear message of mass manipulation.
80s movies are on a whole nother level.
"I came here to chew bubblegum..." was ad-libbed by Piper.
Well it was something he wrote down in a book and gave to John for references.
@@albunndy9409 I heard that in the US Army before this movie came out. It didn't originate with Roddy but he sure played it well!
That scene inspired parts of the classic game duke nukem in the 90's
And...it’s the best quote ever haha 😆
I was ALWAYS under the impression that just about EVERYTHING in the movie was ad-libbed by Roddy Piper...
Please keep making Movies Mr David Sir.I love all your movies
Great film. The fight scene showed how many just refuse to open their eyes at all costs. Film was way ahead of its time.
Iconic voice
His voice was great for Goliath in the Gargoyles cartoon
And don't forget Spawn, the unfortunately unfinished HBO serie 😟
That fight scene related an overlooked message
One of my fav movies of all time! Great actors.
Wished they would have asked him about the South Park parody of the fight Timmy vs Jimmy! That was a classic too!
Happy Birthday Keith David. U were amazing legend. I love Halo 2, 3, The Master Chief Collection, 5 Guardians, Teen Titans, Robot Chicken, American Dad, Free Birds, The Princess And The Frog, Volcano, The Thing, Mass Effect 1, 2, 3, Legendary Edition, and Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2. Halo is my favorite game. The music I listen, reminds me of the Church. May the Peace be with u Arbiter, Admiral David Anderson, Sergeant Foley, Lieutenant Fox, Childs and Chief Broadbeak.

Keith David is a freaking icon. Love that guy
It's a good movie ..the fight scene was or is legend
Best fight scence hands down
Seeing Keith david in this video made me go I KNEW IT HE IS JULIUS!!!!
Keith David staying committed to when he lead the 3rd Street Saunts with his purple colors
Oh wow I never knew that was Keith David in this movie wtffffuuuu hes such a great actor I would have never figured it out lol he was young and sporting the skin job for a hairdo
They still live.
Awesome fight scene
I played saints row 4 before ever seeing they live, when I eventually saw the movie and this fight I laughed for a while and stopped and realised the fight was still going and broke out laughing again.
Super fight...2 legends 2021 and all to see the TRUE!!!! Totally actual....
I have been denied everything... eVEN A SEQUEL TO THEY LIVE!!!
Classic movie
I was trying to think of a Keith David role that I did not like...Could not do it!
he is wearing saint's colors...….
sneakyskunk1 that’s right player
Is the New Orleans Saints you are talkin about
It's truth behind what we live now I'm telling you , I've noticed and now people are looking at me strangely
This fight is how i lost 4 of my previous girlfriends, and am making efforts not to lose the one i have now
This fight scene was epic, but if you think it's the longest, check out Hong Kong kung fu films from the 70s! "They Live" may have the longest Hollywood fight scene though.
They Live We Sleep!
He a OG Balla 😂 he got like 3 different shades of purple on 😭
RIP RRP
Time is it!
Keith David looks like if there was a reverend on the ninja turtles in 1989.
Well, he’s currently in a show called Greenleaf where is plays the pastor of a mega church.
This movie is never played because it's a wake the people up film they don't want thinkers they want workers
Is it weird that this movie came out in 1988 and bob lazar did the news interview that year and was talking about 115 being light and they talk about the same Technology near the end of the movie
Plato's Allegory of the Cave
Keith's hands look huge
A film that turned out to be a documentary.
Ain't THAT something!?
is there a credit for the music used in this video? i like it and i'd like to buy it
Good to see KD in his Saints Row outfit
Buy it on "TH-cam movie".... I just bought this... You can't find it no where else...
Have you tried Amazon or your local library
They Live is a classic that deal with what most of the world is going threw today . It's so your the radar smh .
funny how keith david was wearing saints row colors :D
yeah purple and white as a color combination was never thought of before saints row
I used to play that game😄💜
He also voices h.b.o spawn its really good should check it out .
Life imitating Art
I would argue that art was imitating life in this case. They Live is a scathing criticism of Reganomics, ultra conservatism, and late stage capitalism. He made this movie because of life. We were already there.
The row's got a problem. When you wanna be part of the solution, come to the church...
Carpenter predicted now , well look who's in office now.
No, it would have been the case if another Clinton was president though.
@@whiskyrebel9715 There is no difference between the Republicans and Democrats. Both are corrupt sheep
Curious how these commenters would approach the topic now. Do they think everything is fixed?
Julius wearing Saints purple. xD
Is that the same purple shirt Keith wore in They Live?
I didn’t take it out for air -Requiem For a Dream.
I thought the fight in The Quiet Man was longer?
Keith wore purple then and is wearing purple now. He is still in the movie
I got to use the bubble gum quote in a bar fight.
Is this really the worlds largest fight scene ?!
It isn't the world's longest fight scene that honour belongs to Jackie Chan's Young Master - 20 minutes for a single fight.
But its the one everyone loved and remembered.
It's called hyperbole. The point is that when you think the fight's going to be over, it keeps going.
😎
Did this help KD land Spawn later ?
lol the fight scene was strait up a WWF ppv
South park used the audio
I do not like fight scenes like this. Yet this one to me is the most important one ever to be portrayed in Art. It is symbolic that it is such a hard and long fight way over limits, one that may ruin your health to get to someone to dedicate, open himself/herself up to truth. 2020 with its Corona Agenda makes this statement plainly visible.
I was so focused on figuring out why he wanted him to put the glasses on so badly that I completely missed how much he *needed* to make him put the glasses on.
prince pitch v v ?
You know its a fight scene Classic, When SouthPark's Timmy and Jimmy do the cripple fight, ver batum. What a great homage.🇨🇦😊🤣
