"I came here to chew bubble gum and kick some ass...and I'm all outta bubble gum!"
Plot: 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper (WWE Superstar & Hell comes to Frogtown) stars as a drifter, who winds up on a shanty town in downtown LA, in search of some construction work. While helping out at the communal soup kitchen, Mr Piper meets Keith David (The Thing & Pitch Black), another transient worker and the pair form a bond. Very soon it's clear that there are supremely different class structures in this society, the Elite and the rest.
Rowdy, off on a wander, happens upon a pair of sun glasses, however, when he dons said shades, he sees the world for what it really is. To the naked eye, all people look just fine, but under the lens of some rather dated and original 3D looking eye wear, Rowdy sees aliens (their faces look all drippy). He also happens to see subliminal messages everywhere he looks. Buy Buy Buy...
Rowdy don't like this! Rowdy go all wrestler on their asses! Rowdy Rocks!
Fun Fact: Upon it's release and not until sometime later was this bested (2000's ish), the pivotal scene in this film, a fight between the main stars, Rowdy and Keith, was the longest fight captured on film.
Well worth the entrance fee in 1988 and certainly worth the £4-5 you'll pay to own this delight on dvd.
