Minor spoilers.
In 1988, Nada ("Rowdy" Roddy Piper), a man down in his luck just moved from Denver to another big city, and is trying to find a job. He talks about the economy, and how he can't find work, but he gets nothing but eyerolls. He gets a non-union construction job, and befriends Frank (Keith David), a transplant from Detroit who hasn't seen his family in 6 months.

Nada believes in America, and the dream, until one day he stumbles on a secret. The rich and powerful are aliens in disguise, who've turned the world into a giant 3rd world they use to exploit resources. Yuppies and cops are the henchmen they use to control the people. And because this is a John Carpenter film, the shotguns come out.

And it's the funniest thing you'll watch tonight.

    Man, after my folks brought me home from the hospital they noticed I hadn't pooped yet and my dad goes "Yep, so we had to get a suppository and we had barely touched it to your little booty before all this crap just came pouring out"

    My face was like D: for about a week.

    I'm actually going to jump on this bandwagon. When I was in ridiculous shape, the day after a good work-out left me in this great sore kind of state that was hurtful, yet, amazing.

    well, they do, but we have blinders to it and require photoshop filters now for some reason

    Just going to point out that they do make them like her still. Doesn't mean you run into as often in the movies. Also the whole proper lighting and make up does wonders.
