Arguably an “action movie,” but one of my favorites: “That still only counts as one!”
An annoying article. The quotes are presented with no context. If you haven’t seen the movie, they make no sense. The links go to an IMDB page that doesn’t discuss the quote being linked.
The whole article is one big “in joke” for the people that have seen all of the movies and have eidetic memories.
Now, someone riddle me this.
The new “Die Hard” movie is rated PG-13. In the ads, we see Bruce Willis saying, “Yippie Ki-yay” and then it cuts off.
So, are they pussing out as far as the movie for a PG-13, or does PG-13 now allow “motherfucker”?

I don’t know if it does, but I doubt it. There was an article I read about how the makers of the movie deliberately toned it down to get the PG-13 because, as they explained, since action movies in general aren’t doing so well, you have to broaden the base of potential movie-goers who can watch it.

I’ve read elsewhere on the SDMB that they cheat by making it ‘Yippie Ki-Yi-yay MotherGunshot’

Is this not the movie where Arnold destroys cars and kills people with two gigantic EMP needle guns? Surely that makes up for an alligator or two.

I liked the part where they explain that the guns are so powerful because they use powerful magnets to accelerate ceramic bullets to incredible speeds.
I said no camels. That’s five camels. Can’t you count?

One of my faves but I don’t remember the movie, this was delivered by someone instructing another not to move (at gunpoint):
“Blink and you’ll die in the dark”.

Thought you could say “fuck” twice and still be PG-13. Wasn’t there a discussion about this in Be Cool?

I think that would be “Check out the big brain on Brett!”
Yeah, I’m a geek…
Or, from Pulp Fiction “We should have fucking shotguns”.
By the way: “I ain’t got time to bleed” wins. Argument over.
Second place is “I’m here to kick ass and chew bubble gum…and I’m all out of gum.”
Edited to add: “You ever…seen a grown man naked?”

There were a lot of things he could say. ‘Son of a bitch!’ would have been a good one. Or he could say, ‘Welcome to civilization!’ He could have said, ‘Laugh this one off!’ He might have said, ‘Fetch!’
But he didn’t, because if he had said any of those things then he’d have known that what he had just done was murder.

He arose slowly, on unsteady legs, and stared at what had become of the creature. If he had been a hero he would have taken the opportunity to say, “That’s what I call sorted!” Since he wasn’t a hero, he threw up.

Jackson flubbed the line & said Brad instead, IIRC..or it was the other way around.

A wonderfully fun article at Slate: Yippee-Ki-Yay: The greatest one-liner in movie history.
The author, Eric Lichtenfeld, is a friend of mine, and he’s trying to score “hits” on the IMDB. If you’re registered there, and if you like the article, and if you’d like to post a comment:

My favorite action picture line is not included in the article. It’s John Wayne: “Never apologize, it’s a sign of weakness.”

My favorite one-liner: “Always suck up to the mods by doing what they ask.”
It’s not funny, but I hope it’s effective 
As to post-killing quips, may I quote the illustrious Crow T. Robot:
Crow: Ah! I see! Death actually softens the blow of the pun!
My favorite:
“Are you gonna DO something, or just stand there and bleed?”
-Kurt Russell in "Tombstone"“Fill your hands, you son of a bitch!”
- John Wayne in *True Grit*
or:
“Get ready, little lady. Hell is coming for breakfast”
- Chief Dan George in *Outlaw Josey Wales*“My friends, you bow to no one”
Aragon after having been crowned king, and after the three hobits bow down as a sign of respect, tells this line to the hobbits, and the whole kingdom bows down to them.
Call me a nerd, but that was a cool line.
