“Nuke it from…” oh forgetit
Gogo Yubari in Kill Bill : You call that begging? You can beg better than that."
The Bride in Kill Bill : Bitch, you can stop right there.
“Hey, Vasquez, have you every been mistaken for a man?”
“No. Have you?”
God, I love Vasquez.
Hasta la Vista
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!”
“. . . That is the true meaning of Christmas!”
From all the quotes so far, it appear that Aliens is winning. I forgot how many badass quotes came from that most excellent movie.
“What’s with you and those fuckin’ boots?”
“The almighty says he can get me out of this mess…but he’s pretty sure you’re fucked!”
I always thought they missed right there. They should have had The Bride stare down Gogo and say, ‘Yeah? Make me.’ That would have been badass!
I’m 90% sure that was Burt in either Cannonball Run, or Hooper, fun movies, but not really action.
Jack Burton: “If we’re not back by dawn… call the president.”
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.”
Actually, I forgot my favorite action movie one liner that I use ALL the time.
“You ever kill anyone?”
“I hurt somebody’s feelings once.”
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.”
Anime counts, right?
“You fool! You’re already dead, you just don’t know it yet.”
Fist Of The North Star
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! "
‘Broke into the wrong goddamn rec room, didn’t you, you bastard.’
‘what kind of fuse is that?’
‘Cannon fuse.’
‘Well, what the hell do you use it for.’
‘My cannon.’
I don’t see them screwing each other other over for a goddamned percentage.
