From The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly:
“Oh, I almost forgot, he paid me a thousand. I think his idea was that I kill you. But you know, the pity is when I’m paid, I always follow my job through. You know that.”
As you came We’ll show you what we do.
Which,saying,me and my ex colleagues adopted when working.
Matrix: Reloaded
Neo: If I were you, I would hope that we don’t meet again.
The Architect: We won’t.
Ghostbusters
Dr. Egon Spengler: I’m worried, Ray. All my readings point to something big on the horizon.
Winston Zeddemore: What do you mean, big?
Dr. Egon Spengler: Well, let’s say this Twinkie represents the normal amount of psychokinetic energy in the New York area. Based on this morning’s reading, it would be a Twinkie thirty-five feet long, weighing approximately six hundred pounds.
Winston Zeddemore: That’s a big Twinkie.
Not really a threat, but still ominous-sounding.
From “They Live” (1988)
Nada (Roddy Piper): I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass… and I’m all out of bubblegum.
From “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” (1975):
French Soldier (John Cleese): I don’t want to talk to you no more, you empty headed animal food trough wiper. I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.
Sir Galahad (Michael Palin): Is there someone else up there we can talk to?
French Soldier: No, now go away or I shall taunt you a second time.
I’m surprised this hasn’t been posted yet. A personal favorite:
*What now? Let me tell you what now. I’m gonna call a couple of hard-pipe-hittin’ niggas to go to work on the homes here with a pair of pliers and a blowtorch. You hear me, talking hillbilly boy? I ain’t through with you! Not by damn sight! I’m gonna get medieval on your ass!
~Marsellus Wallace, Pulp Fiction*
From Taken:
“I don’t know who you are. I don’t know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don’t have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that’ll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don’t, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.”

“Who is the woman?”—Kurgan, Highlander
That would be “I’m gonna rip the eyeballs out of your head and piss in your dead skull!”
Wow, Miller, I came in here to do Henry V of all things, and someone beats me to it!
So I’ll add the little one from near the beginning of Tombstone. Ed gets indignant about Doc Holliday’s winning streak.
“Why Ed, does this mean we’re not friends anymore? You know Ed, if I thought you weren’t my friend…” (Holiday barely reveals his pistol) “I just don’t think I could bear it!”
“I promise you a day of reckoning that you won’t live long enough to never forget.” - Joe Sarno (James Caan), The Way of the Gun
Not a movie, but too awesome to omit: From the webcomic Penny Arcade:
Many more at the TVTropes page To the Pain.
And copied by Swede in the Clint Eastwood vehicle Heartbreak Ridge (AFAIK, the only Grenada War movie ever made).
PROSSER: Mr. Dent, have you any idea how much damage that bulldozer would suffer if I just let it roll straight over you?
ARTHUR: How much?
PROSSER: None at all.
From a most probably never-translated French film :
As the heroes are suspended in a crow cage (dunno the English word for that - it’s essentially what it says on the tin : a suspended cage where people are left hanging for the crows to eat them alive), their evil captor says this :
- I regret I won’t be here to witness your slow agony, but you know how it is when one has my responsibilities. It’s a shame, really, because as soon as the Sun comes up, the crows start feasting on the eyes first. They seem to be fond of them. It makes a strange sound, a beautiful sound…
hero, interrupting : Yeah, yeah, all right, we’ll see. - No. That’s the point. You won’t. But you’ll hear. Good night.
I’m sure it was in Trading Places also - it was said by that goon who did the Dukes’ dirty work. I guess it’s just a popular threat.
That’d be a gibbet.
Tarantino lifted the “pair of pliers and a blowtorch” phrase from Charlie Varrick.
