That quote has a special place in my heart. I can think of so many great variations.
Does “I find your lack of faith, disturbing” count as a tough guy quote?
“Get away from her, you BITCH!”
Not a guy, per se, but Sigourney was pretty tough in that forklift suit.
Oh, yes.
A lot of people quote this as a really tough line:
But to be honest, I think the reply shows a lot of balls:
“You’re fired!” – from True Lies.
I saw a poster somewhere with Vader and the caption read:
“Bringing order to the galaxy, one force choke at a time.”
“Do or do not, there is no try.” From the toughest, green Muppet ever.
Jack Bauer has said “Let’s get something straight, kid. The only reason you’re still conscious is because I don’t want to carry you. Now get in the van.”
That’s complete badassery right there.
Or anything from boot camp in Full Metal Jacket.
Starship Troopers:
C’mon, you apes, you wanna live forever?!
My namesake, played by James Coburn in The Magnificent Seven:
Britt: “Nobody throws me my own guns and says run. Nobody.”
I contributed this to a recent famous quotes thread. You really need the entire scene for Fuck the Bonus to have its proper effect.
Pacino had a few in Scarface
“Hey, Sosa. Let’s get this straight now. I never fucked anybody over in my life didn’t have it coming to them. You got that? All I have in this world is my balls and my word and I don’t break them for no one. You understand?”
“You wanna fuck with me? Okay. You wanna play rough? Okay. Say hello to my little friend!”
An unlikely one I saw in “Men’s Health” yesterday:
Dwight Schrute: “In the wild, there is no health care. In the wild, health care is, ‘Ow, I hurt my leg. I can’t run. A lion eats me. I’m dead.’ Well, I’m not dead. I’m the lion. You’re dead.”
From Yojimbo:
Sanjuro: You’re all tough, then?
Gambler: What? Kill me if you can!
Sanjuro: It’ll hurt.
There’s one that stuck with me from an old sci-fi B-movie starring Dolph Lundgren, although I can’t remember the title. Lundgren’s partner, a tough-ass black dude, is undercover infiltrating this gang of educated, snooty white boys who wear Armani and drive sportscars.
Trying to make small talk, one of them asks the tough black dude, “What college did you attend?” in a Thurston Howell voice.
The tough black dude fires back, “I went to the University of Suck My Dick! You got anymore stupid questions, or are we gonna’ do some business?!”
“You’re such a tough guy, MacManus…” - Redfoot.
John Wayne had some good ones:
In “True Grit”
Ned Pepper: What’s your intention? Do you think one on four is a dogfall?
Rooster Cogburn: I mean to kill you in one minute, Ned. Or see you hanged in Fort Smith at Judge Parker’s convenience. Which’ll it be?
Ned Pepper: I call that bold talk for a one-eyed fat man.
Rooster Cogburn: Fill your hands, you son of a bitch.
I don’t remember which John Wayne movie this is from maybe “Flame of the Barbary Coast”, but Wayne’s playing cards and the dealer’s cheating. Wayne said to the dealer:
“I’ll take the next card off the top.”
From “Man On Fire”
I forget the exact words, but here is the most of it:
Creasey: What did you do?
Bad Guy: I did what the boss told me to do.
Creasey: What the boss told you to do? Did you say good-bye to her?
Bad Guy: No.
Creasey: (Pulls out a picture of the murdered little girl) Here’s your chance. Say good-bye.
Bad Guy: Good-bye.
Creasey: (Shoots Bad Guy dead)
Silent Bob’s only line from Dogma. Said to a wide eyed passenger after throwing one(or both?) of the fallen angels off the train- “No ticket.”
Homage to Indiana Jones, when he tosses the Nazis off the blimp (I think? Maybe a train) - still a badass line.
