1. I think I know what movie you are talking about

Weren't the people aliens? I dunno, maybe robots. But if he put on certain sunglasses he could tell who was one of those things. And there was a black friend of his that he was trying to convince to put on the glasses and he wouldn't so they got in a huge brawl. Is that the one?

Sorry, I can't think of the name of it either.

Edit because it is late and I can't type coherently.

6. yeah, Roddy Piper!

I could picture him but couldn't remember his name.

I just saw that movie less than 6 months ago. It was on AMC or something.

9. That was a great movie premise, pretty original concept.

Did Roddy Piper make any more movies after that?
