About John Carpenter's They Live (1988) (source Google)
Nada (Roddy Piper), a wanderer without meaning in his life, discovers a pair of sunglasses capable of showing the world the way it truly is. As he walks the streets of Los Angeles, Nada notices that both the media and the government are comprised of subliminal messages meant to keep the population subdued, and that most of the social elite are skull-faced aliens bent on world domination. With this shocking discovery, Nada fights to free humanity from the mind-controlling aliens.

They Live is an AMAZING movie that you should watch now if you have not. It's one of our favorite movies and "Rowdy" Roddy Piper was fantastic. He really help pave the way for future pro-wrestlers to get into acting. The grade at the end of this fight scene does not represent how entertaining the fight is, just how likely these moves will happen in a modern day alley fight. With that being said, let us know what you think about They Live!

I love that movie. Whenever I watch it, I watch it for Rowdy Roddy Piper. A legendary wrestler. R.I.P.🙏
-
The thing I love about the fight is how raw and dirty it feels.
-
I love the exhaustion from both actors in this scene. They both have to drag themselves up every time.
-
I always love how you guys will point out when something wouldn't work in real life or wouldn't be the best option, but still acknowledge why it would be that way, whether because it looks better on camera, or because super powers are involved!
-
Half an hour of a fight breakdown? Count me in! It made my day! Hope you guys had a good start to the new year!
-
God I love when Chad explains mma moves he does it so well
-
MOST STORY-FOCUSED, CHARACTER-DRIVEN FIGHT SCENE EVER
-
10:12 all of a sudden high pitch. Chad is being emotional when it comes to street style instinctive headlock
-
I always loved this scene- the combination of exhaustion and obvious pain made it feel amazing.
-
That movie is such a classic!
-
Love that you referred to pipers wrestling as art work. That fuckin respect man.
-
I've seen dozens of comments requesting this fight analysis, so I'm psyched to see this notification. I also love They Live, so this video has me excited for multiple reasons. Thanks, guys! Keep up the amazing work.
-
As cinema, I'd argue that this fight scene is one of the best of all time. There will probably never be a better example of using pro-wrestling tropes to advance the narrative. That having been said, C- seems plenty fair graded for realism.
-
I did the sag take down in a street fight without knowing it. I wish I would've known about the technique back then. But everyone of these breakdowns are amazing and the details they go into is incredible
-
I've seen the movie once and will probably re-watch it some day. It's interesting, funny and has a meaningful plot, which is rare nowadays. And the fight scene is hilarious. I get the grade you gave it from an efficiency point of view, but as a fight between two regular construction workers, it's a solid A :)
-
Now this was a top quality fight!
-
Even when some stuff is obvious, even to a non-fighter like me, you guys do such a good job of explaining things, I loved it. And even though this wasn't a fantastic fight, any movie lover remembers this scene (and the bubblegum one) from this movie, so it was a great pick!
-
Excellent breakdown as always, guys! The shorts are great, but I always love digging into these long-form videos. Also appreciate Logan bringing the nostalgia and reminding me of CRIIIPLE FIIIIIIIGHT 👊🏼

One of, if not the greatest fight scene of all time
