Fun Facts

 * The real reference is to a line said by Rowdy Roddy Piper in the 1988 movie, "They Live".


 * Although nothing like the hercules exists in real life, hercules are mentioned as future soldiers (AMP units) in the movie "Avatar" in which their guns are superior against soldiers or air units but they are vulnerable in tank fire. There are expeirmental exoskeletons in the military used to help lift heavy loads, but none of these have miniguns on them.
