Most memorable dying words in a movie

“I’m sick of doing Cheers.”

Oh, wait, that was just the death of Shelley Long’s career.

Captain Rhodes, to the zombies carrying away his body from the waist down in Day of the Dead.

Sort of a last line, since it was technically heard after the character was killed:

“I finally found out what JAFO meant. ‘Just Another Fucking Observer,’ huh?”


“Der krieg ist vorbei! Der krieg ist vorbei!”


Not the exact quote but it’s still a good speach before dying…

“Can’t you for a second imagine none of this had happened? That my drugs had gone through. What would have been the harm? A few people get high who are getting high anyway. Your partner is still alive. We don’t have to eat breakfast with each other ever again. Don’t you see this means nothing? That your whole life is pointless? You only got to me because your were tipped off by the competition, who’s trying to break into Tijuana. You’re helping them. You work for a drug dealer too. . . This food tastes like shit.”

EZ

Hey BrainGlutton, are you (post 36) and I (post 5) both thinking of Burt Lancaster as Maj. Asa Barker in Go Tell the Spartans?

Haven’t seen this one for a while, but IIRC the character’s dying words, or close to 'em, are …

“Pike! Pike!”

ColonelDax:

Ernest Borgnine (Dutch Engstrom) in The Wild Bunch.

ElectricZ:

Daniel Stern as Lymangood in Blue Thunder.

I have always loved you. I would rather be a ghost, drifting by your side as a condemned soul… than enter heaven without you. Because of your love I will never be a lonely spirit.

Li Mu Bai, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

And mine, because I’m devious…

“Wait! Wait!”

Yoda it is?

KHAAAAAAAAN!!! KHAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

“You gotta admit…I’m a scary judge of talent!”

Unforgiven - The big cowboy with the tiny little pecker…shot three times while he was takin’ a shit.

“Michael…!”

Walter Burke in The Recruit.

I got nothing.

Or was it the bad guy from 8mm? Now I’m all confused…

Mr. Memory from The 39 Steps.

Excellent Hitchcock.

Easy:
“…came…from…behind…”


“Why don’t you go fuck yourself, Tommy.”

More difficult:
“Do it.”


“We all gotta die. It’s just a matter of when.”


“Prove it.”

Khan was quoting Captain Ahab in Moby Dick. Presumably the Gregory Peck version.

“Oooh! Owww! EEEEE! ARRGgh! OOOwwww! OOoo! Uuhhhh… OOOOOO! Oooh! Owww! EEEEE! ARRGgh! OOOwwww! OOoo! Uuhhhh… OOOOOO! Oooh! Owww! EEEEE! ARRGgh! OOOwwww! OOoo! Uuhhhh… OOOOOO!”

The late, lamented Spider.

Since nobody got mine, I’ll recycle it:

“C’mon Donnie, help me fillet this fat fuck.”

Spider (Michael Imperioli) to Joe Pesci in Goodfellas.

'I’m telling you, you’re just going to have to kill me."

Spider Goodfellas

“Help me… get me out of here Let me out of here get… let me… glaoomph!”

PeeWee Herman in the original Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Someone (Bruno Kirby?) in Donnie Brasco.
