My favourite thing about that movie is that the colonist-exploiter-aliens' skin tones are red, white, and blue.

Rewatched it a few months ago. Still holds up. 
I watch the fight scene at least once a year, usually when I find out a friend hasn't seen it.
It really does. I watched on a sci-fi night with the boyz and we were talking about how you "real-er" older movies felt because of the make-up and effect rather than CGI. The alien simple but grotesque design just feel so gross (in a good way) on screen in a way I don't think you can replicate with rushed and underpaid visual effects.
Totally. Also, I watched it as a kid back in the day and really did not appreciate how radical it was. But back then it also wasn't that out of the ordinary. Those were the days of numerous movies about plucky groups of kids fighting against bankers trying to shut down orphanages and ski towns and things.
It says John Carpenter 4 times on that poster. Looks pretty narcissistic.
