If there was a turning point in The Rock's Hollywood career, it was Fast Five. Before this, The Rock was doing family-friendly movies like The Gameplan and the infamous Tooth Fairy.

Along with the revenge flick Faster, released a few months earlier in 2010, this film resurrected The Rock's acting career and set him on a path towards becoming the biggest action star of the decade. His last film, Jumanji: The Next Level, has already grossed $700 Million worldwide and at the moment, he just looks unstoppable.

Directed by the legendary John Carpenter (Halloween, The Thing), They Live is considered one of his best movies. The film is a sci-fi horror masterpiece as John Nada (Roddy Piper) is able to see, via sunglasses, that aliens disguised as humans have taken over the Earth.

The film is hailed for its socio-political commentary, as it depicts the aliens as the ruling class who have been manipulating the population for years through subliminal messages in advertising and other forms of media.

Moreover, the film depicts a 5 1/2 minute fight between Piper's character and Frank Armitage (Keith David) which took a long time to shoot. Keith David, in interviews has said that the fight was the most fun he ever had and praised Piper for his work. He said:

"I’ve never felt safer in my life having a fight scene with anybody. He was magnificent. He knew exactly how to make me feel safe, he helped me to sell it, and I felt we had a great fight scene."

Piper may have left this world, but he left behind a body of work that will stand the test of time.
