1. I don't know.
But that's the longest fight scene I've seen in my life.

2. Scary.
What the heck happened to these guys. They are good looking; however, they look like they have been all cut up or something. Are they boxers????? Please excuse my ignorance.

5. Excused (just kidding). They're actually a Cuban hip-hop group.
They look normal in real life. Their faces were Photoshoped to appear to be carved out of wood.

3. no freeper movie
here's some cool quotes from it:

They use their tongues to deceive.
The venom of snakes is under their lips!
Their mouths are full of bitterness and curses!
And in their paths, nothing but ruin and misery,
and the fear of God is not before their eyes!
They have taken the hearts and minds of our leaders.
They have recruited the rich and the powerful.
And they have *blinded* us to the truth!
Our human spirit is corrupted.
*Why* do we worship greed?
Because, outside the limit of our sight,
*feeding* off us, perched on top of us,
from birth to death,
are our *owners*! Our owners!
They have us. They control us!
They are our *masters*!
Wake up! They're all about you. All around you.
-- blind Street Preacher (They Live)

"Our impulses are being redirected. We are living in an artificially
induced state of consciousness that resembles sleep."
-- rebel scientist (They Live)
%
"The poor and the underclass are growing. Racial justice and human rights are nonexistent. They have created a repressive society, and we are their unwitting accomplices. Their intention to rule rests with the annihilation of consciousness. We have been lulled into a trance. They have made us indifferent -- to ourselves, to others. We are focused only on our own gain."
-- rebel scientist (They Live)
%
"Please, understand, they are safe as long as they are not discovered.
That is their primary method of survival. Keep us asleep, keep us
selfish, keep us sedated."
-- rebel scientist (They Live)

6. I especially like.
How the TV, billboards, signs, etc all say one thing but they're really subliminable(sic). They say consume, obey, etc, kind of like.....oh never mind.
