I’m sure there has to be a thread just like this one but I wouldn’t know how to search for it. Some one utters a line so dumb, so inane that it takes you right out of the movie. What prompted this thread was Battle for L.A. The scientist explains why we are under attack from aliens. “It’s our water. The specific chemical composition of it. Ours is the only water that is in liquid form in the universe.”
So these aliens have the technical know-how to travel through the galaxy above the speed of light but they never figured out how to melt ice? Really?
Also, for very different reasons, when Prince runs to break up his parents fight shouting “Stop!” He’s wearing his on stage high heeled boots and he has to do this mincing, ridiculous run in this very serious part of the movie. Cracks me up every time.
“Since you had time to smelt it into bricks, I’ll expect the rest of the gold in seven days.”
Battlefield Earth, after the humans(1000 years in the future) find Fort Knox and bring the bricks of gold to the villain instead of actually mining gold.
But. . . we don’t know what’s at the bottom of the ocean. We know the surface of the moon much, much better than we know what the hell is in the bottom of the ocean. You could easily hide a starship in the Marianas Trench.
“But… but… these all sound like lines from some bad movie!”

*More seriously, I’d put the “box of chocolates” line high on the list because it’s so fraggin’ irritating and became such a real-world meme.
At that point he’s effectively commanding an infantry heavy company team. He’s got the infantry platoon attached for the AT gun fight. He’s got the infantry platoon that was pinned down reinforcing them. There’s still quite a bit of small arms fire around them. So he decided to throw a fire team of tankers into the fight as they clear the remaining German infantry and effectively make his tank combat ineffective
Take off your tanker boots, Wardaddy, and dismount Fury permanently. She deserves better.
Any movie that says shit like “you only use 10% of your brain” (possibly with "we unlocked the other 90%). Like Lucy, and possibly Limitless. Wedding Crashers gets a pass as it exists to show that Owen Wilson’s character is kind of a douche, and his version is funny.
It’s also just part of a pick-up line, and not scientific. It’s no different from “What’s your sign?” in regard to the scientific validity of pick-up lines.
