Silent Night, Deadly Night 2
Troll 2
28 DAYS LATER… worst opening to a decent movie ever.
“THESE MONKEYS ARE INFECTED!”
“INFECTED WITH WHAT?”
“…RAGE.”
fucking terrible idea.
The Perfect Storm: Billy: “This is where we separate the men from the boys.” Yeah, like we really needed to hear that line AGAIN, and it’s not just limited to film either!
Also, I’ve never liked “There’s more to _____ than meets the eye”, Jackson could have left that line out of Fellowship, even tho its a direct quote from the book. Hearing it later in Transformers, despite it being the toys’ catchphrase, made me wince.
Armageddon is dripping with inane dialog: the entire animal cracker love scene & “Oh man, what’re you doin’ with a gun in space?” (well, DUH!! It’s a military operation…) & the absolute WORST moment in the film “Ok men, this is what we trained for now just SUCK IT UP!!” when they slingshot around the moon.
Braveheart (the most overpraised film of the 90s): “Some men are bigger n’ others!” Yup, we really needed another dick joke, didn’t we?
Jerry Maguire: “You complete me.” (Jerry Maguire)
X-men: “You know what happens when a toad gets struck by lightning? The same thing that happens to everything else.” (Storm)
Top Gun: “You can be my wingman any time.” (Ice Man to Mavrick)
Oh, and I love that someone mentioned “This is where the fish live.” from Touch of Satan. Awesome!
From WATCHMEN:
Woman to sudden appariton of blue glowing naked muscleman hovering in cafeteria:
“Is that you, John?”
Well, as long as we’re on the topic if Flop Gun, how ’bout: “I feel the need, the need for speed!” (I could never watch that film w/out turning it off in disgust aft about 10 mins, surprised I lasted THAT long!!)
I actually thought the opening line of 28 Days Later above was a good one, adds to the ominous tone of the film…
Titanic’s also loaded w/inane, cliched dialog like: “Rose, this is where we first met!!” or "sooner or later that fire that I love about you, Rose… that fire’s gonna burn out… " After seeing Avatar recently, admittedly a VERY entertaining & visually stunning film, I wish that Cameron would get off his high horse & hire a writer like Kasdan, Koepp, or Zaillian to punch up his scripts or write better dialog.
“Leave your stupid comments in your pocket!”
From the greatest movie ever made, The Room.
“Those were terrrrible murders!”
- Coroner in My Bloody Valentine (original)
hard boiled (i love this film, but…)
Tequila: Don’t you have any dreams?
Andy: Yeah. I want to move down to Antarctica.
Tequila: Freezing there. You enjoy the cold?
Andy: It’s got a lot going for it. It’s always light. I’d like that after all this darkness.
Woo has a lot of classic lines in his films, here’s one of the many from Hard Target:
“I’ll fuck you, then I’ll eat you!!”
T-men:
“Ever spent six days in a Turkish bath searching for a man?”
—PolarisDiB
Oh oh oh oh!
Southland Tales:
“The war was running out of alternatives… alternative FUEL, that is.” (That was the first groan inducer in what then became two and a half hours of pure pain)
Rules of Attraction:
“I only slept with her to get close to you!”
—PolarisDiB
Star Wars Episode III
Anakin: Don’t make me kill you!
Yes, it’s a classic, but….I kind of think it’s stupid when Ingrid Bergman tells Humphrey Bogart that he’ll have to do the thinking for BOTH of them (her nerves being too frayed as the Nazis march into Paris)
Transformers:
Sam Witwicky: How did you know about his glasses?
Optimus Prime: eBay.
“You had me at hello.”
“You want severance? I give you severance.”
“Oh man, god” etc
“Not the bees! Oh no my eyes! AHHHHHHH!:
This covers lots, though there are a couple of good ones included.
The most overused line:
“We gotta get out of here!”
The guy at the beginning says: i wouldn’t want to cut one of my fingers
“Hi Doggie” from The Room
“Future events such as these will effect you…in the future.”
And, from Wanted: “Am I just another guy who got mind-fucked into killing his own father?”
Duncan, what is that first quote from again? Sounds REALLY familiar…
Savvy
“We gotta get outta here!”
Only slightly behind that is “We gotta situation here…”
The other line I wanted to vomit over after Op Prime said “ebay” was when he said “My bad…” I HATE HATE HATE that euphemism to begin with but this time they really went overboard in their panderance. GLUH!!!
The first quote is from the hilariously bad opening monologue of Plan 9 From Outer Space. Using Plan 9 for any Worst list is a bit easy, but then again, that line…
“Groovy” is one of the coolest words spoken in history of cinema.
Hail to the king.
Micky_ward: SHAME ON THEE!! It’s “Hail to the king, BABY!” %-)
Gotta love The Killer Condom.
Luigi Mackeroni: Every morning when I wake up, it all seems like a bad nightmare. But then I reach for my groin and face the absurd facts once more.
Luigi Mackeroni: What can a man do in New York if he’s lonely and hasn’t a dick?
liv tyler in ‘that thing you do’ – “i’ve wasted so many kisses on you”
star wars episode II: after anakin kills everyone in the village he says something to the effect of “i killed them all. they’re all dead.”
also, in just about every thriller (and every thriller trailer) there is the cringe worthy line “they set me up!” usually a male yelling to someone who doesnt believe them.
