Most ominous-sounding threats made by people in movies

Clint Eastwood always has a bunch of good ones:

Heartbreak Ridge
“Well, well, well, well. I’m here to tell you that life as you knew it has ended. You all may as well go into town tonight. You may as well laugh and make fools out of yourselves. Rub your pathetic little peckers against your honies or stick it in a knothole in the fence but whatever it is, get rid of it. Because at 0600 tomorrow your ass is mine. Now it’s my will against yours and you will lose. So don’t forget, 0600. That’s six o’clock in the morning for those of you who don’t habla.”
Unforgiven
"I’ve killed women and children. I’ve killed everything that walks or crawls at one time or another. And I’m here to kill you, Little Bill, for what you done to Ned. "

"Any man don’t wanna get killed better clear on out the back. "

Weird. I could have sworn it was Jack Nicholson in A Few Good Men.

Or was that “Tear out your eyes and *%&$ your skull?”

23

I’m pretty sure the quote originated in Full Metal Jacket.

24

Paybacks a bitch, ain’t it?

My Favorite: Beverly Hills Cop, the scene where Eddie Murphy and his friend have been caught in the warehouse with the villian’s drugs:

Axel Foley: If you hurt her, I’m gonna kill you.
Victor Maitland: That would be a neat trick.

I like implied threats. I read Get Shorty a long time ago and I remember Chili Palmer saying he never makes direct threats. He lets his victims fill in the gaps with their imagination, making his job of getting info/money from them all the easier.

“Only one human captain has ever survived battle with a Minbari fleet. He is behind me. You are in front of me. If you value your lives, be somewhere else.” : Abassador Delenn, Babylon 5

“Please accept my assurances that no personal animosity of any kind is intended towards any of you. Nonetheless it appears, unfortunately that I must now go forth and destroy your respective worlds. Perhaps you would like to draw straws, to determine where I might best start.” : Tuf Voyaging

The Dark Half

Since my movie quote memory storage is low, all I could come up with was

“My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die!”
—Princess Bride

So I checked a few sites and found these gems:

“The fact that you’ve got ‘Replica’ written down the side of your gun and the fact that I’ve got ‘Desert Eagle point five O’ written on the side of mine should precipitate your balls into shrinking, along with your presence. Now… Fuck off!” (Snatch)

“Wendy…darling… light of my life…you didn’t let me finish. I said, I’m not gonna hurt you… I just wanna bash your brains in!”
(The Shining)

“And just about the time I’m comin’ out of jail, hopefully, you’ll be coming out of your coma. And guess what? I’ll split your fuckin’ head open again. ‘Cause I’m fuckin’ stupid. I don’t give a fuck about jail. That’s my business. That’s what I do.”
Casino
“I will PT you until your assholes are sucking buttermilk!” - Gunnery Sergeant Hartman (R. Lee Ermey), Full Metal Jacket

You and that other dummy better start getting more personally involved in your work, or I’m gonna stab you through the heart with a fuckin’ pencil. Do you understand me?" —Midnight Run

And this one from science fiction, from Roger Zelazny, I think — arough quote from memory:

May the beasts who dwell in the bottom of the sea, whose bellies are circles of light, recall with great pleasure the flavor of your marrow.

Oops; I forgot it was supposed to be movie quotes. I read a lot more than I watch. Well, TV is close I suppose…

Riddick

Slam Guard: You’ll kill us… with a soup cup?
Richard B. Riddick: Tea, actually.
Slam Guard: What’s that?
Richard B. Riddick: I’ll kill you with my teacup.

Anton Chigurh: What’s the most you ever lost on a coin toss?

Gas Station Proprietor: Sir?

Anton Chigurh: The most. You ever lost. On a coin toss.

Gas Station Proprietor: I don’t know. I couldn’t say.

[Chigurh flips a quarter from the change on the counter and covers it with his hand]

Anton Chigurh: Call it.

Gas Station Proprietor: Call it?

Anton Chigurh: Yes.

Gas Station Proprietor: For what?

Anton Chigurh: Just call it.

Gas Station Proprietor: Well, we need to know what we’re calling it for here.

Anton Chigurh: You need to call it. I can’t call it for you. It wouldn’t be fair.

Gas Station Proprietor: I didn’t put nothin’ up.

Anton Chigurh: Yes, you did. You’ve been putting it up your whole life you just didn’t know it. You know what date is on this coin?

Gas Station Proprietor: No.

Anton Chigurh: 1958. It’s been traveling twenty-two years to get here. And now it’s here. And it’s either heads or tails. And you have to say. Call it.

Gas Station Proprietor: Look, I need to know what I stand to win.

Anton Chigurh: Everything.

Gas Station Proprietor: How’s that?

Anton Chigurh: You stand to win everything. Call it.

Gas Station Proprietor: Alright. Heads then.

[Chigurh removes his hand, revealing the coin is indeed heads]

Anton Chigurh: Well done.

[the gas station proprietor nervously takes the quarter with the small pile of change he’s apparently won while Chigurh starts out]

Anton Chigurh: Don’t put it in your pocket, sir. Don’t put it in your pocket. It’s your lucky quarter.

Gas Station Proprietor: Where do you want me to put it?

Anton Chigurh: Anywhere not in your pocket. Where it’ll get mixed in with the others and become just a coin. Which it is.

[Chigurh leaves and the gas station proprietor stares at him as he walks out]

Speaking of Shakespeare, Henry V is gold:

The Duke of Exeter explaining to the King of France what will happen if he doesn’t surrender the crown:

Bloody constraint; for if you hide the crown
Even in your hearts, there will he rake for it:
Therefore in fierce tempest is he coming,
In thunder and in earthquake, like a Jove,
That, if requiring fail, he will compel;
And bids you, in the bowels of the Lord,
Deliver up the crown, and to take mercy
On the poor souls for whom this hungry war
Opens his vasty jaws; and on your head
Turning the widows’ tears, the orphans’ cries
The dead men’s blood, the pining maidens groans,
For husbands, fathers and betrothed lovers,
That shall be swallow’d in this controversy.
This is his claim, his threatening and my message;

Henry, demanding the surrender of Harflour:

Therefore, you men of Harfleur,
Take pity of your town and of your people,
Whiles yet my soldiers are in my command;
Whiles yet the cool and temperate wind of grace
O’erblows the filthy and contagious clouds
Of heady murder, spoil and villany.
If not, why, in a moment look to see
The blind and bloody soldier with foul hand
Defile the locks of your shrill-shrieking daughters;
Your fathers taken by the silver beards,
And their most reverend heads dash’d to the walls,
Your naked infants spitted upon pikes,
Whiles the mad mothers with their howls confused
Do break the clouds, as did the wives of Jewry
At Herod’s bloody-hunting slaughtermen.
What say you? will you yield, and this avoid,
Or, guilty in defence, be thus destroy’d?

But my favorite, largely thanks to Kenneth Branagh’s delivery, is:

We are glad the Dauphin is so pleasant with us;
His present and your pains we thank you for:
When we have march’d our rackets to these balls,
We will, in France, by God’s grace, play a set
Shall strike his father’s crown into the hazard.

The way he snaps off the T in “set” gives me shivers every time.

“You will see me one more time if you do good. You will see me two more times if you do bad. Good night.” -The Cowboy from Mulholland Dr.

That entire movie gives me the willies.

33

Who are you? What’s you’re name? Do you have a wife? A girlfriend? Because if you do, I’m gonna find her. I’m gonna hurt her. I’m gonna make her bleed, and cry, and call out your name. And then I’m gonna find you,and kill you right in front of her.

Phillip Seymour Hoffman from MI:III

The OP asked for “ominous” quotes. Most of those mentioned so far are scary perhaps, but not ominous.

For ominous, nothing can beat “I’ll be back.”

35

There’s a movie starring Dennis Quaid that’s a poor imitation of Seven called Horsemen, but there’s one chilling line. One of the victims is lying in a masochism/torture device while her daughter is telling her exactly why she’s killing and torturing her. When she’s finished, the daughter says matter-of-factly, “You’re going to drown now.”

36

“And your little dog, too!”

“All right, Clanton… you called down the thunder, well now you’ve got it! You see that?
It says United States Marshal! Take a good look at him, Ike… ‘cause that’s how you’re gonna end up! The Cowboys are finished, you understand? I see a red sash, I kill the man wearin’ it! So run, you cur… RUN! Tell all the other curs the law’s comin’! You tell 'em I’M coming… and hell’s coming with me, you hear?.. Hell’s coming with me!”
-Tombstone

"If you hold back anything, I’ll kill ya. If you bend the truth or I think you’re bending the truth, I’ll kill ya. If you forget anything, I’ll kill ya. In fact, you’re gonna have to work very hard to stay alive, Nick. Now, do you understand everything I’ve said? 'Cause if you don’t, I’ll kill ya. "

Rory Breaker in Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels.

From the Simpsons of all things:

“If you don’t do what I say I’m going to do something. And I don’t know what that thing is, 'cause nobody doesn’t do what I say.”

As long as it’s the quote from the original Terminator. After all, there can only be one. :wink:
