Ah-nald Shwarzenegger has said, “I’ll be back” (Terminator series), in at least one comedy movie he did.
To which Ryan O’Neal then says “That’s the dumbest thing I ever heard!” Not a callback to any previous character of his, but it makes me giggle.
Mel Brooks has gone to the “It’s good to be the King” well a couple of times.
Tim Allen
As Buzz Lightyear in Toy Story spoken to Woody
and
as Robotic Santa in The Santa Clause 2 spoken to Santa Clause:
“You are a sad, strange little man.”
Excellent example!
And in The Santa Clause, he does his apelike “Hoo hoo hoo” that he did on his TV show.
I watched *Stardust *last night, and at one point the character played by Ricky Gervais asks, “Is he having a laugh?” That’s the “catchphrase” used by Gervais’s character on the HBO show *Extras *.
Good example. I think it was Last Action Hero
Johnny Depp in Once Upon a Time in Mexico says “Savvy?” in an obvious Sparrow-nod.
Get your hands off me, you damn dirty {ape|human}
In the move Stakeout, Emilio Estevez quizzes Richard Dryfus’ character: ''What movie was this from?"…‘This was not a boating accident’…", as he was doing movie quote trivia to kill time while on the stakeout.
Didn’t he say “I’ll be back” in virtually every movie he made for quite a while after Terminator, which is the joke in Last Action Hero
“You didn’t know I’d say that, did you?”
“You always say that.”
Related, when William Shatner first appeared on Third Rock, playing the human form of the team’s oft-mentioned leader, The Big Giant Head, he describes having been a passenger on a human aircraft and having seen a creature on the wing. Lithgow immediately says “The same thing happened to me!” This is in reference to Shatner having starred in the original Twilight Zone episode “Terror at 20,000 Feet” and Lithgow in the remade version for 1983’s Twilight Zone: The Movie.
I probably am wrong but I seem to remember that line resurfacing in Malibu’s Most Wanted or something like it and O’Neal reacting.
I remember seeing that episode and laughing out loud at that. Then I had to explain it to everyone else in the room since they all got whoooshed by it.
How about one actor insulting another? I think Stallone once said “Rambo was a wimp.” It was either Stallone talking in a Stallone movie, or Van Damme in a Van Damme movie. Maybe some SD movie wiz can help me recall!
Two guys, right, they walked into… maybe it was three guys. Anyway, they walked into this bar. Or a club. Okay. And then the bartender said something. And it was really funny! Ah, it made me laugh! Or was it a priest and a scotsman?
Doesn’t Gene Wilder also often say “Scratch that. Reverse it.” in his films?
Tango & Cash (1989). The actual line goes, “Rambo is a pussy!”
I cannot believe someone beat me to this, it’s what I came in here to post!
Grrrr…
