I don’t remember the movie – might have been a Burt Reynolds vehicle. In the midst of a sprawling bar fight, he holds out his hands, palms up, wiggles his fingers and says “Gimme somebody!” ---

From all the quotes so far, it appear that Aliens is winning. I forgot how many badass quotes came from that most excellent movie. ---

In the midst of a sprawling bar fight, he holds out his hands, palms up, wiggles his fingers and says “Gimme somebody!” I’m 90% sure that was Burt in either Cannonball Run, or Hooper, fun movies, but not really action. ---

Some good ones from _Reservoir Dogs_ “You shoot me in a dream, you better wake up and apologize.” “Are you gonna bark all day, little doggy, or are you gonna bite?” “I don’t wanna kill anybody. But if I gotta get out that door, and you’re standing in my way, one way or the other, you’re gettin’ outta my way.” “If you shoot this man, you die next. Repeat. If you shoot this man, you die next.” ---

Army of Darkness: “Good… bad… I’m the guy with the gun.” “Groovy.” “Gimme some sugar, baby.” “Come get some.” Demonic old woman: "Who the hell are you? Ash: "Name’s Ash. [levers rifle] Housewares. " And from Big Trouble in Little China: When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, and he looks you crooked in the eye and he asks you if ya paid your dues, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol’ Jack Burton always says at a time like that: “Have ya paid your dues, Jack?” “Yessir, the check is in the mail.” ---

“You Americans, you’re all the same. Always overdressing for the wrong occasions.” “What a fitting end to your life’s pursuits. You’re about to become a permanent addition to this archaeological find. Who knows? In a thousand years, even you may be worth something.” “Ha ha ha ha! Son of a bitch.” “We have top men working on it now.” “Who?” “Top. Men.” “I should say you look rather lost, but then I can’t imagine where in the world the three of you would look at home.” “Dr. Jones, wasn’t it the Sultan of Madagascar who threatened to cut off your head if you ever returned to his country?” “No, it wasn’t my head.” “Then your hands, perhaps?” “No, it wasn’t my hands. It was my… my misunderstanding.” “You call _this_ archaeology?” “I’m sorry about your head though. But I thought that you were one of them.” “Dad, they come in through the doors.” “Ha, good point.” “You lost today, kid. But that doesn’t mean you have to like it.” ---

> [@MTCicero](#): > > “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?” That was pretty good, but I preferred this exchange when Le Chiffre ties Bond naked to a chair with the bottom cut out of it and proceeds to beat him with a knotted rope: "I’ve got a little itch, down there. Would you mind? " Le Chiffre swings the rope under and up against his genitals and Bond starts laughing maniacally. "Now the whole world’s gonna know that you died scratching my balls! " ---
