In John Carpenter's They Live we hear the famous line




I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass, and I'm all outta bubble gum.




It obviously made it into the general vernacular, but was it ad-libbed by Mr. Piper as some suggest, or did it originate elsewhere?

When asked this directly, Roddy Piper said that he ad-libbed it.



From an interview:




Onda: Did you really ad-lib that line?



Piper: Yeah. I couldn’t tell you what it really means either. It was one of those – “Roddy, you’ve got bullets on you, you’ve got a shotgun, you’ve got sunglasses, you go into a bank, you’re not gonna rob it, say something … action!” I’m all out of bubblegum. Lunch! That was it. No more than that. I know, it’s crazy.
