Ummm, have you never seen an iced-up hill?
Not to mention “Yippee!!!” which feels like it’s said at least a half-dozen times.
For someone who’s never seen Dirty Dancing, and has no real desire to, could somebody please explain the meaning behind “Nobody puts Baby in the corner.”?
Mortal Kombat: Annihilation is full of naff lines, usually delivered by someone having more fun than anyone being paid deserves to have. Here’s a highlight:
RAIN (apologising to Shao Kahn for a mistake): This will never happen again.
SHAO KAHN smites Rain in the chest with a huge iron hammer, hurling him to a fiery death in a pit of flames.
SHAO KAHN: It is true that this will never happen again. It is also true that I need a new general…
Thank you, Brian Thompson. Only you could make that line work.
Any line uttered by Tanya Roberts in A View To A Kill. What was someone thinking when they cast her? :smack:
Probably “Hmm. Nice rack.”
Note to self: when at work, all image searches should be performed with Yahooligans.
How about “Now this is pod racing!” – when the kid is flyin’ a freakin’ spaceship!
In the novelization of SW ep 1: TPM, that line is rendered as “This is much better than pod racing!” Which makes a lot more sense. My suspicion is that Lucas originally intended the line to be the same as what’s in the novelization, but changed it because he thought that denigrating pod racing would cut into the sales for the pod racing video game.

From the unwatchable Tough Guys Don’t Dance:
“Oh God…Oh man…Oh God…Oh man…Oh God…Oh man…Oh God…Oh man…Oh God!”
Hasn’t anyone here ever seen the 60’s Batman movie?
Robin: What are we going to do?
Batman: I’ll use my super energy magnetic repolarizer.
[Takes gadget out of pocket. Scene cuts to Penguin in his submarine.
Penguin: He must be using a super energy magnetic repolarizer. Curses!
Police chief: Run a trace on known supervillains currently at large.
Robin: The sum of the angles of that villainous rectangle is almost too hideous to contemplate.
Robin: It happened at sea. ‘C’ for Catwoman.
Batman: Wait a minute. That shark was pulling my leg. I suspect the Joker was involved.
Batman: Negative, Robin. It’s five dehydrated pirates … rehydrated!
Velcro. Next to the Walkman and Tab it is the coolest invention of the 20th century!

I don’t know if this qualifies as a bad movie quote, but whever we are doing movie quotes I always have to throw this one in.
No way it can top the line “I am the law”. If you can read that in SS’s voice, you know how grating it is.
Ugh. I remember watching that at age 7 and thinking “Come on, you couldn’t connect the sea to The Penguin?”
Anyway, that’s a great movie and I’m not sure if something that’s intentionally campy goes in the same category as the rest of this junk. If it does, then “some days, you just can’t get rid of a bomb!” :eek:
Not a bad line, really, but I think it qualifies because based on a discussion elsewhere, it seems to be amazingly confusing.
Firefly, Serenity. ‘Some planets won’t even let you land without a companion on board.’
The number of people who insist that it’s the literal truth…
And it contained the bad best movie line of all time:
"Is there a choice between a painless surrender death and the horror of resistance death?
From the Music World:
“Only time will tell if we stand the test of time” :rolleyes:
Thanks, Sammy. Let us know when you evolve a thumb.
But take this one in context… Helen Hunt (very young and beautiful in the movie) is saying this as she takes her schoolgirl skirt off (on a bus, no less) and flips it over to reveal that it’s a leather miniskirt on the other side. Bearing that in mind, velco really is the best thing to happen to the 20th century! 
Star Crash… wow! I saw that when I was, like, SIX and I IMMEDIATELY knew it was appalling.
Didn’t they have a go at lightsabres? Only they were crap?
Morpheus had a lot of very poor lines in the 2nd or 3rd Matrix movies, possibly both. It’s one thing to be a passionately driven believer, it’s another to go on and on about it till you become a caricature of yourself.
From “The Man With Two Brains”
“O Pointy Birds, O, Pointy, Pointy,
Anoint my head, Anointy, 'Nointy”
from the movie “the man with two brains”
steve martin:
“o pointy birds, o pointy, pointy,
annoint my head, annointy, 'nointy”.
Trying to ensure that we get to appreciate the pure badness of the lines, eh muffinismydog?
