FREAK FILMS: ROWDY RODDY PIPER MADNESS

I know what you're thinking: “Out of the many films that span ‘Rowdy’ Roddy Piper's film career, which two are the best?” Fool! There is no question that of the films and TV appearances Roderick Toombs made perfect by the mere presence of Roderick Toombs (aka Piper), Hell Comes To Frogtown and They Live are obviously the best. They Live is a sci-fi action thriller starring Piper as Nada, a badass drifter-dude extraordinaire trying to survive amidst an Orwellian installment of the Reagan Years (Christ, that gives me a chill). After stumbling upon a box of thoroughly stylish but very affordable sunglasses, Piper discovers he can see aliens hidden amongst the nicest and most upstanding of our business people. This prompts him to kick some hideous alien assmeat while sharing the camera with Meg Ryan. You Got Mail? Fuck all that-- this was the peak of her career. Hell Comes To Frogtown actually outclasses They Live, only because the movie is about how after radioactive fallout renders most men, shall we say, several Sea Monkeys short of a tank. “Rowdy” Roddy's steamy testicles are the most precious commodity on the planet. It's Planet Of The Apes with frogs meets Saving Piper's Privates. Watch Piper frolic and kick ass with Sandal Bergman to protect his inalienable right to impregnate women-- and I mean all of them. As Piper said in They Live, "I'm here to chew bubblegum and kick ass-- and I'm all out of bubblegum." Lover. Fighter. Master Thespian. Fighter. “Rowdy” Roddy Piper.
