"Rowdy" Roddy Piper stars as Nada, a drifter who discovers special sunglasses revealing the true messages behind advertisements: OBEY, CONSUME, CONFORM, MARRY AND REPRODUCE. The film features one of the longest fight scenes in movie history—a brutal six-minute brawl over wearing sunglasses—which Carpenter and Piper choreographed themselves. Carpenter has stated the film is about "unrestrained capitalism" and Reagan-era greed, themes that have only grown more relevant in the decades since its release.
