What are your favorite action movie one liners?

I’ll list my top three here:

“Stick around” - when Arnold Schwarzenegger impales a bad guy with a machete in “Predator.”
Let off some steam, Bennett," when Arnie impales a guy with a steam pipe and steam literally comes shooting out of it at the end of “Commando.”
And of course, “Yippee Kay Ay, Motherfucker,” from “Die Hard.”

Also have to give a shout out to the Bond series, about which you could write a whole book on one liners. My personal favorite: the scene in “Goldfinger” when Bond kills a bad guy by throwing a lamp into a bathtub and deadpans, “Shocking, positively shocking.”

“I lied.”

“I ain’t got time to bleed.”–From the other Action-Governor.

“Well do ya, punk?”
“Go ahead, make my day…”
“Say hello to my little friend!”
“I love the smell of napalm in the morning.”
“We’re gonna need a bigger boat.”

Can we bring in TV?

Spike: Say goodnight, bitch!
Buffy: Goodnight. Bitch.

“Is there time before we leave, for Lesson number 3?”

“Of course. There’s no sense going out half-cocked.”

“It can save your life, this cigarette.”

“You sound like a commercial.”

“Why do Chinese girls taste different from all other girls?”

“You think we better, huh?”

“No, just different. Like Peking Duck is different from Russian Caviar. But I love them both.”

“Darling, I give you very best duck.”

“Rule number one: never do anything yourself when someone else can do it for you.”

“And rule number two?”

“Rule number two: in Japan, men come first, women come second.”

“I just might retire to here.”

“Who’d want to put a contract on me?”

“Jealous husbands! Outraged chefs! Humiliated tailors! The list is endless!”

“You’ve got a bloody cheek!”

“Sorry. I’ll shoot the camera first next time.”

“Or yourself. You stormed into an Embassy. You violated the only absolutely inviolate rule of international relations, and why? So you could kill a nobody. We wanted to question him, not to kill him! For God’s sake! You’re supposed to display some kind of judgment.”

“I did. I thought one less bomb maker in the world would be a good thing.”

“Exactly. One bomb maker. We’re trying to figure out how an entire network of terrorist groups is financed and you give us one bomb maker. Hardly the big picture, wouldn’t you say?”

And those are just (some of) the Bond quotes.

The immortal “Rowdy” Roddy Piper, from “They Live”

“I’m here to chew bubble gum and kick ass…and I’m all. out. of bubble gum!”

Also, how can I forget the scene in Scarface where Tony Montana presses the grenade launcher up against his crotch and exclaims, “Say hello to my little friend!!”

“I’m here to kickass and chew bublegum…and I’m all outta gum.”

“See this?..this…is…my…BOOM stick!”

“Right now you ain’t leading but jack and shit, and jack just left town.”

Don’t talk to me, criminal!

I coulda been at a bbq!

Psychos don’t explode when sunlight hits them, I don’t care how crazy they are!

Arnie to the Predator. “You are one… ugly motherfucker!”

Four hundred dollar suit and you’re still a lowlife.
Yeah, but I look good!

Murdock… I’m comin’ to get you, Murdock.

You’re a disease, and I’m the cure.

“I’ll be back” from The Terminator

Arnold in Commando, after dropping some guy off a cliff. Later somebody asks what happened to that guy, so Arnold says, “I let him go.”

Same movie: after snapping the neck of some guy and killing him on an airplane, he tells the stewardess, “don’t disturb my friend. He’s dead tired.”

“Dying ain’t much of a living, boy.”–Josey Wales

The best line in the history of cinema is a throwaway from the forgettable Freejack starring Emilio Esteves and the inimitable Mick Jagger:

“You keep lookin’ at me like that, you’ll see me kill you.”

Same movie, when Rae Dawn Chong blows up the car dealership and then the bad guys with the ?grenade launcher? portable missile launcher? wicked cool boom-stick?

“I read the instructions.”

No, the greatest line in the history of cinema is clearly the last in this bit from True Grit:

[Rooster confronts the four outlaws across the field]
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. *
