Horror master John Carpenter, who directed former WWE superstar Roddy Piper in the cult classic They Live, took to social media today to praise Piper following news of his passing.
In addition to sharing some brief, kind words for Piper, Carpenter posted a link to a scene from the film in which the actor supposedly ad-libbed the film's most memorable line: "I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass... and I'm all out of bubblegum."
You can see Carpenter's comments below.
I'm devastated by the passing of my friend Roddy Piper. Great wrestler, underrated actor, dear friend. Rest in peace, Rod.

Keep your eyes on TV listings. As generally happens in these cases, you can probably catch They Live being added to weekend lineups to tribute Piper.
Sadly, it isn't streaming free and legal anywhere, although you can buy it at Amazon, iTunes and Vudu.
