“Is it raining? I didn’t notice.”
Ruins a great movie.
I hope you’re not including Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure in that.
He gets off some great lines there.
The only bit in Kill Bill Vol 1 that made me go ‘Oh come on!’ was Vernita Greene’s ‘If I could go back in a machine I would’. I mean, WTF! I xan get ‘If I could change the past, I would’ but a machine!? Why is that an option?
Arnold is a source of many great lines:
“If it bleeds, we can kill it”
Predator
“it might be a tumor…”
“Its NOT a tuma!!!”
Kindergarten Cop.
Also let us not forget about point break:
Every single line uttered by Keanu is utter crap! Its awful!
Rg! That sounds so familiar yet I can’t place it! Where’s it from?
In Silverado, there’s a scene where Kevin Kline shoots a man off a horse. He’s being questioned for proof that the horse was stolen from him and he tells them to take a look at the underside of the saddle and they’ll find his name scratched into it. They ask him what his name is and Brian Dennehy pops up and we are treated to the following dialogue:
Sheriff: “And what would your name be?”
BD: “Paden. P-A-D-E-N.”
KK: “Hello, Cobb.”
BD: “Hello, Paden.”
Sheriff: “You know this man, Cobb?”
:smack:
WTF? He just spelled the guy’s name and they greeted each other as old friends, and you wonder if they know each other? I always thought this was such a stupid dialogue, and any time I watch the movie, I can’t help but yell, “NO, it was just a lucky guess, you idiot!!”
I never could stand to see the entire movie, but I’d nominate the entire script of Battlefield Earth for this thread. This quote isn’t nearly the worst, but it certainly says something about the folks who thought this movie was a good idea …
“Stupid humans.”
Sadly, that line isn’t where it stops. Every piece of dialogue during the fighting scenes was terribly written. Silence would have been much better.
“How could the same shit happen to the same guy twice?”
Die Hard II sucked balls. As I sat in the theater trying to justify the cost of the ticket, this particular line just mocked me. Luckily they saved the franchise with “Die Hard With a Vengance”. The trick was to make it a John McClane movie instead of a Die Hard movie. I remember reading an interview with the guy who came up with the concept. He was talking about how he kept hearing script ideas that were along the lines of “I have an idea for a movie. It’ll be like Die Hard, but on a train! How about Die Hard, but on a boat? Or like Die Hard, but on a plane!”. The guy said he was just waiting for the day someone would make the pitch “It’ll be like Die Hard, but in a buiding!” Heh. To bad they had to fuck up part two so bad . . .

I think you are perhaps missing my objection to that particular line. (I’m English, BTW)
In that pathetic waste of time and money, there’s about a three-minute stretch during the attack on Pearl Harbor where the only words spoken are “Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!”
“Oh Postman, you pass out hope like it’s candy in your pocket”

No, no, I got what you were saying. And it is ridiculous for someone to announce that WWII just started, I couldn’t agree more. I was just saying that every line that follows that one is stupid as well.
I guessed that you were English by the way you spelled “Harbour.” You people are always spelling words wrong like that. 
I know (hope) they’re intentionally lame, but James Bond: On Her Majesty’s Secret Service has two of the corniest lines ever penned:
James Bond is skiing down a slope, pursued by host of bad guys. He manages to leap over something churning up the snow (violent snow plow?) whereas one of his entourage runs into it, causing gore to spray in the air.
Bond: “He had a lot of guts.”
Cue groaning.
Later on in the same movie, Bond is in the middle of a car chase and accidentally runs into a stock car rally (as we all do from time to time). Then he puts on his characteristic punch line voice, and delivers this line that sounds like it’s intended to be really witty. Only it’s not, it’s the uninspired “Looks like we hit rush hour.”
Nonetheless, both still crack me up.
I couldn’t stop laughing at the sheer badness of “Doogie Howser’s” impassioned speech at the end of “Starship Troopers.”
Something like, “This…this is the moment we’ll always remember…the moment when it turned…”
I haven’t read the book, so if this is in it, maybe it’s better on paper.
although i loved el mariachi and desperado… in once upon a time in mexico…

LOL that was SOO lame!

New candidate: Jim Caviezel singing “Take Me Out To The Ball Game” in Frequency. The song’s trite enough, but his singing is so bad that those who have seen the movie probably went to see The Passion of the Christ just so they could cheer on the Sanhedrin.
Uh…are you rolling your eyes at me for some reason?
