OK, so while going through my old MST3K episodes, I was watching the infamous “Cave Dwellers” when I remembered that the credits were superimposed over blurred scenes from another equally terrible movie entitled _Taur, the Mighty_ \*(\*\*Taur, il re della forza bruta) (1963) \*Google search ensued, which returned this gem of a clip. [“The change in your FACE!!”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7vkZQ-z8Ko) This had my kids and I rolling on the floor and has now surpassed [Rowdy Rod’s “They Live!” classic!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wp_K8prLfso) as our most oft quoted line! We know all the classic witty one-liners from Arnie, Stallone, Willis, Smith, etc. but are looking for some really witty, obscure hilarity from the world’s worst films for ammo! Clips appreciated! ---

_Shark Attack 3: Megalodon_, an otherwise forgettable movie, gained notoriety for one [random, ad-libbed line](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1XOfHax6Q8) which became an Internet meme for awhile. > [@bienville](#): > > From _Amazon Women in the Avacado Jungle of Death_ (starring Bill Mahr!) That’s CANNIBAL Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death (as **mbh** pointed out) which is a hilarious, satirical film that transends the B-movie genre, IMO: _“Dr. Kurtz, I’m unfamiliar with the academic guidelines at Radcliffe, but I would think any major university would consider warring on the United States and eating prisoners of war a serious breach of ethics!”_ _“Oh my God, YOU’RE MARINATING ME!”_ _“I refuse to kill another human being in cold blood. However, in deference to your cultural traditions, I would be willing to have sex with him.”_ ---

For terrible and hilarious, I recommend _**TerrorVision (1986)**_ Summary of main characters: The mother and father, played by Mary Woronov and Gerrit Graham, are swingers. They have a teenage daughter named Suzy, very 80’s punk (think “Desperately Seeking Susan.”) Grampa lives with them, and he is a jewel. Crazy survivalist type. Their son, Sherman, is probably the most normal of them, although he’s been a bit tainted by Grampa. Suzy is dating a boy named O.D. who comes with all the accessories, mullet haircut, leather jacket, studded glove. The father installs a satellite dish, which then pulls in a space alien that materializes through the television. “The monster,” is hilarious! (Definitely B grade or worse! 😃 ) There are a couple slow parts in the movie, but other than that, it’s just all funny, the clothes, the dialogue, the music. I can’t remember the exact quote, and Grampa explaining the “lizard tail jerky” as a viable food source is not on the quotes page. ☹ Something about pulling off the tail, _“and he don’t give a hoot, he just grows another!”_ [Quotes page] ([TerrorVision (1986) - Quotes - IMDb](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092074/quotes?ref_=tt_ql_3)) When O.D. finds out there is a space alien he references E.T. > [@](#): > > O.D.: Remember that movie? You know, the one about the little space guy? Made you cry like a butthole… I don’t know how old your kids are, so ought to warn you there might be an F-bomb or two. There is a lot of talk about sex, and the swinger parents have nude…um, “art” on the walls. 😕 I don’t know anyone IRL that has seen it, that is, before I had them watch it. :eek: 😃 ---

From [Mission to Moscow (1943)](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0036166/trivia?tab=qt&ref_=tt_trv_qu): [QUOTE=Ambassador Joseph E. Davies] Mr. Stalin, I believe history will record you as a great builder for the benefit of mankind. [/QUOTE] The film was American WW2 propaganda aimed at justifying the US’s alliance with the USSR but seemed to have been taken over by actual Stalinists. My brother and I watched it on the late movie sometime in the early '80s and that line knocked us both out of our chairs. ---

This one is painful, and I hate to admit I watched the whole movie. **Megaforce** — an elite American soldier team that rides sparkly motorcycles and look like the Bee Gees. The cowboy member of the team, named (ta-daah) Dallas, speaking in the most cartoonish Texan voice possible, says of the professor: “He’s so smart, he’s got more degrees than a thermometer!” ---

All I remember is that there was a movie on cable a lot in the 80s, or maybe early 90s. The guy who had played Cliff Claven on Cheers was some kind of repairman. “Looks like you’ve got yourself a portal to another dimension. I’ve seen this kind of thing before.” [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/hilarious-one-liners-from-b-movies-or-worse/689566.md?page=2)
