Hey, I just saw that movie. Chock-full of lines just like this one!
Colonel Zayas: Are you out of your mind?
Lt. Nikolai: No. Just out of bullets.
Red Scorpion
Attack of the Clones is the gift that keeps on giving.
Obi Wan Kenobi falling off a roof during a fight: “Oh, not good!”
Yoda, sounding a bit like Patton with a head injury: “Around the survivors, a perimter create.”
Revenge of the Sith has some winners as well.
Yoda: “Good relations with the Wookiees, I have.”
Although Lucas did give us one of the most unintentionally perfect lines in all of moviedom near the beginning of Revenge of the Sith, when Obi Wan says “How did we get here? We’re smarter than this.”
We’d all like to know, Ben.
Nothing will ever top the “You’re not like sand” speech.
I’m surprised that Night of the Lepus has escaped our collective attention
In Australia they had this great and very un-pc bar sport called dwarf tossing. So there!
What, with all this Star Wars prequel activity and no mention of:
“I wish that I could wish away my feelings…”
Oh my goodness. It’s the sort of thing you write in a hurry, while distracted, that you REALLY should notice on re-reading. Crap.
Or, how about:
“You’re either with me or against me!”
“Only a Sith deals in absolutes!”
Great. Take a cliche and rebutt it with a self-contradicting line. Brilliant.
How about this one from Gigli:
Brian is the kid that the guy kidnapped.
Brian: She’s like the ones at the Baywatch. They make my penis sneeze.
Brian: When my penis sneezes, I say, ‘God bless you’… God bless you, penis.
From Jurassic Park:
Kids: “He left us! He left us!”
Dr. Grant (overly dramatic): “But that’s not… what I’m gonna do.”
I’m just happy you said godawful. Geez, when that movie came out all I heard about good it was. You know, it wasn’t that good to get all of the hype it did. I actually found it kind of boring.
And don’t get me started on the Truman Show.
Oh thats too easy. That movie was so fantastically bad it should have been on MST3K. Well, maybe not…its too easy to riff on.
From so many bad lines to choose from, I feel I have to hit on this one from Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End (a movie that I actually like)…
When Davy Jones comes to visit Calypso when she’s in the brig, he asks her why she never showed up to meet him after he’d done ten years hard work in her service, she replies:
“It’s my nature.”
What kind of horse sh** is that?! The writers couldn’t come up with a better excuse? If I was Davy Jones I would have killed her on the spot, or at least deliver a well deserved bitch slap.
Actually, that was a pretty good line. She was goddess of the sea, and the sea is fickle. It’s mythology 101. Anthropomorphizations of natural forces always act according to their basic nature. Storm gods are violent, sun gods are beautiful, earth goddesses are maternal and sea dieties are untrusworthy.
