Back in the 60s I played guitar in my stepdad Norm's honky-tonk bluegrass band. There was some idiot drunk who'd show up and pick fights with people and call them outside where he and his friends would maim the guy for fun. One day he tried it with my step-dad. He didn't even get the full invitation out before Norm slammed him with a mike stand and then used it to pound two of the guy's accomplices into the floor. It was over quick, Norm put the mike back on the stand and told a cheering crowd, "No need to go outside when right here right now will do just fine."
Having celebs like singers or wrestlers cast in films always angers me but Roddy Piper gave such a genuine and good performance here! So sad he’s dead and may he Rest In Peace. Edit: I typed gave and it autocorrected to have on Roddy Piper’s performance.
Carpenter always went for low key naturalistic acting. That way the more over the top parts are easier to accept. If you have people acting in a 'movie' way then it breaks the immersion.
@@FL-gg4dq If they were real, they would have shot a white guy. White guys get shot more than black guys by cops, you just don't hear about it because the later gets all the media attention.
Dude we literally used to write laws to censor books, video games, and movies. Artistic freedom in general has IMPROVED over time. You guys are just so convinced there is some kind of culture war going on because you refuse to turn your television sets off and go actually talk to people. Fucking ridiculous.
@@MellowFellowOfYellow who are you going to talk to when the masses are addicted to tv and phones? In a Couple years, it’s going to be completely “weird” and uncommon to talk to people.
Roddy Piper put in an amazing performance in this film. Director John Carpenter said that he should have had a huge career as an action star and that he was right up there with Kurt Russell as his favorite people to work with. Sadly, Roddy never reached these heights again, regulating himself to direct-to-video schlock.
professional wrestlers are usually three things, gay, suicidally depressed, and addicted to drugs and alcohol. Roddy was no exception. the hulk, the rock, and some others are the rare exceptions to the rule. but basically it's very difficult for them to have successful careers outside of their main profession.
European royalty is keeping us as their cattle. Section 12 of Canada's copyright act is Her Majesty's claim to every document in Canada. There is no exception for birth certificates or any other documents that are purported to identify you. Her Majesty is a corporation and so is the person declared on the BC. None of this will be explained to children in Her Majesty's public schools. It is also notable that Jesus harshly criticizes lawyers a couple of times in the book of Luke.

You should watch the earlier scene. All because they found out the church supporting the drifters and the homeless was a front for the resistance, they beat and plowed their way through them all. Zero Tolerance.
Something similar happened to me once, I was walking to the gym and out of nowhere a guy who was coming in front of me pushed me and almost made me fall, I turned to face him and he did the same, when he turned I realized right away that he put his hand in a pocket in which I'm sure he had a knife or some weapon, we began to argue and the guy told me that if I didn't like the push we should go fight in the park that was across the street that was deserted, I told him no, if he wanted to fight we should do it where we were, at that moment several people began to arrive to see what was happening, when the people arrived the guy took his hand out of his pocket and continued as if nothing had happened, After he left, an old man who saw everything that happened told me that I did the right thing in not going to fight with the guy in the park because the obvious thing was that the guy had stabbed me or something worse.
I wonder what we'd see if we browsed Facebook and Twitter with those glasses on. Nah, who am I kidding: they both would look EXACTLY THE SAME before and after.
