If you do not surrender to them immediately, I will unleash the entire payload of advanced long-range torpedoes currently locked on to your location. You have two minutes to confirm your compliance.

* ''Film/OnceUponATimeInTheWest'' begins with three gunmen waiting for a train for over 10 minutes with basically no dialog or any action. When the train finally arrives, their encounter with the mysterious stranger still takes four more minutes, with one of the most badass dialogs ever performed:
--> '''Stranger:''' ''"Where is Frank?"''
--> '''Gunman #1:''' ''"Frank send us."''
--> '''Stranger:''' ''"You bring a horse for me?"''
--> '''Gunman #1:''' ''"Looks like we're shy one horse..."''

--> *beat*
--> [[BlastOut *bang* *bang* *bang*]] ... [[DoubleKnockout *bang*]]
* "I have come here to ChewBubblegum and kick ass, and I'm all out of bubblegum!" This famous example was used in ''Film/TheyLive'', but parodying the line has itself become a trope.
* ''Film/ShootEmUp'', whenever [[TheGunslinger Smith's]] BerserkButton gets pressed: "You know what I hate?"
* In ''Film/KingArthur'', right before the Battle of Badon Hill, Arthur speaks to the Saxon leader Cedric, telling him to "Know this face, Saxon, as it will be the last thing you see before you leave this earth." With a somewhat grudging respect, Cedric mutters as he walks off, "Finally, a man worth killing."
* The first ''Film/{{Blade}}'', when [[spoiler:Whistler blows into the room where Blade is being held captive,]] "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viNfg6b9wvA Catch you fuckers at a bad time?!]]"
** And later on, [[spoiler: before Blade finishes off Frost,]] "Some muthafuckas always trying to ice skate uphill."
*** How can you forget the very last line of the movie spoken in Russian? "Catch you at a bad time, tovarisch?"
* ''TrueGrit'', just before [[spoiler:Rooster guns down Ned Pepper and his cohorts in a four-on-one horseback gunfight]]. "Fill your hand, you son of a bitch!"
* ''Film/StarTrekFirstContact'': Worf - "Assimilate this"
** Alternatively, Data's "Resistance. Is. Futile."
* Frequently subverted in ''Film/BigTroubleInLittleChina''. Most of Jack Burton's attempts to offer a PreAssKickingOneLiner seem to precede him either getting his own ass whipped, or putting himself out of action by doing something stupid. Ironically, his successes tend to be preceded by not-very-clever lines, such as saying, "What the hell!" right before he finally nails Lo-Pan (though even that attack initially misfires).
* ''Film/LastActionHero'' (Before kicking a police officer in the groin):
-->'''Jack Slater:''' You want to be a farmer? Here's a couple of achers!
* ''Film/MysteryMen''
** The Blue Raja (a second-string superhero with a cutlery-based gimmick) is frequently shown practicing these sorts of thing. ("But I'll forkgive you if you forkgot.")
** His teammate, Mr. Furious, has a plethora of really bad one-liners... Also, the first fight starts with one from each hero present.
* ''Film/TheSantaClause'': "We're your worst nightmare -- elves with an attitude."
* ''Film/ThePrincessBride'': {{JustForFun/Hello}}. MyNameIsInigoMontoya. YouKilledMyFather. PrepareToDie."
** ToThePain!
* From ''Film/{{Beowulf}}'':
-->"I am ripper! Tearer! Slasher! Gouger! I am the teeth in the darkness! The talons in the night! Mine is strength! And lust! And power! ''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis I! AM! BEOWULF]]''!"
** "I'm 'ere to kill your monstah."
* ''Film/ThreeHundred''
** [[PunctuatedForEmphasis THIS! IS! SPARTA!]]
** And some other pretty awesome quotes: "Give them nothing! But take from them, everything!", "This is where we hold them! This is where we fight! This is where they die! Remember this day, men, for it will be yours for all time.", "Spartans! Ready your breakfast and eat hearty, FOR TONIGHT, WE DINE IN HELL!!!", "No retreat, no surrender. That is Spartan law. And by Spartan law, we will stand and fight...and die. [[PoliticallyCorrectHistory A new age has begun: an age of freedom]]! And all will know that 300 Spartans gave their last breath to defend it!", "Spartans! Prepare for glory! ", "Persians! Come and get them!" (in response to an appeal to lay down their weapons),"We're in for one wild night.", "Spartans! Push!" Needless to say, ''Film/ThreeHundred'' was full of ridiculously awesome lines. If you saw only HoYay on the last two, my work here is done.
*** TruthInTelevision, some of those -- although English doesn't really have an exact analog to how "Molon labe" should be translated. Roughly speaking, what is being rendered as "Come and get them!" is more of a "You can have them if you can get to them." The modern English equivalent would be something along the lines of "You can have my weapon when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers." The line isn't really a PreAssKickingOneLiner, it's a [[FacingTheBulletsOneLiner Pre Getting My Ass Kicked One Liner]], as was the other famous line from Plutarch: "Their" (meaning the Persians) "arrows will darken the sun!" "Then we shall fight in the shade."
***** The Spartans didn't get their asses kicked at Thermopylae. True they lost, but they did NOT get their asses kicked.
* ''Film/StrawDogs''. "OKAY! You've had your fun! And if you don't clear out now... there'll be real trouble. I mean it." Another example is "This is where I live. This is me. I will not allow violence against this house."
* ''Franchise/EvilDead 2''. "Groovy."
-->'''Deadite:''' I'll swallow your soul!\\
'''Ash:''' Swallow {{this|IsMyBoomstick}}.
** ''[[Franchise/EvilDead Army of Darkness]]''.
-->'''Ash:''' Ma'am, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to ask you to leave the store.
-->'''Ash:''' Come get some.
-->'''Ash:''' All right, you primitive screwheads, listen up! See this? ThisIsMyBoomstick!
-->'''Ash:''' Honey, you got reeaalll ugly.
-->'''Ash''': Yo, she-bitch. [''[[DramaticGunCock chick-chick]]''] Let's go.
* ''Film/{{Grindhouse}}''. "They just fucked with the wrong Mexican!"
-->'''{{Mook|s}}:''' Have mercy, father.\\
'''[[ChurchMilitant Padre Cheech Marin]]:''' God has mercy. I don't.
* Casey Jones in the first ''Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'' movie: "Now that, was a crime, you purse-grabbing pukes. And this is the penalty." and "The class is [[{{Subject101}} Pain 101]]. Your instructor is Casey Jones."
* ''Franchise/{{Highlander}}'': "[[{{Tagline}} There can be only one!]]"
* Film/{{Hellboy}} in the first film: "YouKilledMyFather. Your ass is mine!"
* ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheKingdomOfTheCrystalSkull'': [[spoiler:"I like Ike."]]
** An [[DontExplainTheJoke explanation]] for those who don't remember the 1950s: Indy's line was one of President Eisenhower's campaign slogans.
* ''Film/TheLastBoyScout'': BruceWillis tells Damon Wayans, "This is the 90s, you can't just smack a guy in the face. You have to say something clever first. Like if you hit him with a surfboard, you say, 'Surf's up, pal!'"
** "Touch me again, and I'll kill you."
* ''Film/DirtyHarry'': " 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya, punk?"
* And Creator/ClintEastwood again, ''Film/SuddenImpact'' (the fourth in the series) this time: "Go ahead, make my day."
** And then there's this gem:
-->'''Harry Callahan:''' We're not gonna let you walk outta here.\\
'''Crook:''' Who's "we", suckah!?!\\
'''Harry Callahan:''' ''(reaching for his gun)'' Smith, Wesson and me!
** Also in ''Film/TheDeadPool'':
--->'''Harry Callahan:''' Hey! You forgot your fortune cookie! ''(crumbles cookie, takes slip of paper)'' It says, "You're shit outta luck, punk'". ''(commence ass-kicking, .44 Magnum-style)''
** Creator/TerryPratchett parodies that first one in ''Discworld/NightWatch''. After going back in time, Vimes attempts to pull a "Me, Mr. Burleigh and Mr. Stronginthearm," version with a crossbow, only to discover, to his great disappointment, that he's still got decades to wait before the first Burleigh & Stronginthearm crossbows will be invented. And it was SUCH a good line, too.
* ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'': "Do you not know death when you see it, old man? This is ''my'' hour!"
** "There's plenty for the both of us! May the ''best dwarf win!''
** "Let them come! There is one dwarf in Moria who ''still draws breath!"''
** The rooster crow would've been great, if they'd left it in the movie. Ah well.
** Not quite a one-liner, but "YouShallNotPass!" and the little pile of taunts that preceded it.
--->'''Gandalf:'' You cannot pass! I am a servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the Flame of Anor! The Dark Fire will NOT avail you, Flame of Udûn! Go back to the shadow!
** "[[NoManOfWomanBorn I am no man.]]" (face stab)
** "If you want him, come and claim him!" by Arwen. Incidentally, it could be another translation of the Spartan "Molon Labe"
** FORTH EORLINGAS!

* ''Film/SilentNightDeadlyNightPart2'': "[[Memes/{{Film}} Garbage Day!]]"
* ''Film/{{Batman}}'' (1989 version). Batman to Joker: "Ever dance with the devil in the pale moon light"? [[spoiler: [[IronicEcho He stole it from Joker, who used it when he killed Bruce Wayne's parents.]]]]
** The Joker says it earlier to Bruce Wayne [[spoiler: who is puzzled by the line. Only quite some time later does he make the connection with his memory of the murder of his parents]].
** Horribly disfigured Jack Napier before shooting Boss Grissom: "Just call me... Joker!" (Bonus funny: We suddenly realize that Jack is the name of a playing-card too).
* ''Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet'': "Freddy's gonna get you."
** Also, as delivered by the FinalGirl in ''Film/FreddyVsJason: [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome Welcome to my world,]] [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch bitch!]]
* ''Film/AClockworkOrange'': "Ho ho ho! Well if it isn't fat, stinking, billygoat Billyboy in poison! How art thou, thou globby bottle of cheap, stinking chip oil? Come and get one in the yarbles -- if ya have any yarbles, ya eunuch jelly, thou!"
* Guile -- played [[SoBadItsGood memorably]] by Creator/JeanClaudeVanDamme -- attempts several of these in ''Film/StreetFighter''. Attempts.
-->'''Guile:''' I'm the Repo Man... and you're out of business.
-->'''Guile:''' This is the collection agency, Bison! Your ass is six month overdue... and it's mine!
* Film/{{Scarface 1983}}'s "SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND!"
* ''Film/{{Commando}}'':
-->'''[[ScaryBlackMan Mac]]:''' Scared motherfucker? Well, you should be. 'Cause this Green Beret is gonna kick your big ass!\\
'''[[Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger Matrix]]:''' I eat Green Berets for breakfast, and right now I'm very hungry!\\
'''Cindy:''' ''(hiding under a table)'' I can't believe this macho bullshit...
** and:
-->'''[[Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger Matrix]]:''' Remember when I said I would kill you last? ... I lied.
* ''Film/TheMatrix'': "[[VerbThis Dodge This]]."
** The German dub arguably manages to make it even more badass by matching the Agent's line "Only human" by Trinity's "Only an Agent".
** Also in ''Revolutions'', where the Merovingian is attempting to get the main characters to give him something he wants in order for him to get Neo out of the Matrix. Trinity, with at least two dozen mooks pointing guns at the heads of her, Morpheus, and Seraph, simply says "I don't have time for this shit." and then begins beating the crap out of several of the bodyguards, catching a pistol and holding it against the Merovingian's head.
* Ripley's "Get away from her, you bitch!" in ''Film/{{Aliens}}''.
** As well as "Let's rock!", followed by a long burst of [[{{BFG}} Smart Gun]] fire.
* ''Film/TheDarkKnight'':
-->'''SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker:''' ''(to Rachel)'' A little fight in you, I ''like'' that.\\
'''Batman:''' Then you're gonna love me.\\
''(...)''\\
'''The Joker:''' You know how I got these scars?\\
'''Batman:''' No, but I know how you got ''these''.
** And from [[Film/BatmanBegins the previous movie]]:
-->'''Gigantic Con''': You are in hell, little man! And I am the devil!\\
'''Bruce Wayne''': You're not the devil. You're ''practice''.
** [[Film/TheDarkKnightRises The latest installment carries on the tradition]], only with Batman on the receiving end:
-->'''CIA Agent''': Well congratulations! You got yourself caught? What's the next step in your master plan.
-->'''Bane''': Crashing this plane...'''''WITH NO SURVIVORS!''''' (*beatdown ensues)
** Later
-->'''Batman''': You're just made a serious mistake.
-->'''Bane''': Not as serious as yours, I fear...
-->'''Batman''': Bane.
-->'''Bane''': Let us not stand on ceremony...Mr Wayne.
* ''Film/TheChroniclesOfRiddick''.
-->'''Riddick:''' Remember that favorite game of yours?\\
'''Kyra:''' "Who's the better killer?"\\
'''Riddick:''' Let's play.
**
-->'''Riddick:''' I can kill you with my teacup.
* ''Film/HotFuzz'':
-->'''Nicholas Angel:''' ''(riding into town carrying an obscene amount of weaponry)'' Morning.
* One of the protagonists in ''Film/RaceForTheYankeeZephyr'' (1981) has a habit of describing the eating habits of the crocodile in disgusting detail to everyone he meets. When he and his friend are stopped at a roadblock of armed mooks, they begin to recite this description in unison -- then as the mooks are looking at each other in bemusement launch a GroinAttack.
* ''Film/GranTorino'': Creator/ClintEastwood's character has a ton of amazing {{one liner}}s, but some of the best Pre-Asskicking One-Liners are, "Ever notice how you come across somebody once in a while you shouldn't have fucked with? That's me." and "Yea? I blow a hole in your face and then I go in the house... and I sleep like a baby. You can count on that. We used to stack fucks like you five feet high in Korea... use you for sandbags."
** "''Get off my lawn''".
* ''Film/AirForceOne'': "Get off my plane!"
* ''Film/TransformersRevengeOfTheFallen'' gives us this exchange as a prelude to (one of) Optimus' [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome CMoA]]:
-->'''Megatron:''' Is the future of our race not worth a single human life?\\
'''Optimus:''' You'll never stop at one... ''I'll take you ALL on!''
** Also:
-->'''Optimus:'''You picked the wrong planet! [[OffWithHisHead GIVE ME YOUR FACE!]]
** And then, he actually took his face.
** Another from the very beginning, when Optimus single-handedly takes down a decepticon around four times his size that's rampaging through a highway:
-->'''Optimus:''' Pull over!
** From [[Film/{{Transformers}} the first movie]], we have 3 from Megatron.
--> '''Megatron''': No, it's ''just'' '''''me''''' Prime!
--> '''Megatron''': Then you can join them! Right into extinction!
--> '''Megatron''': Oh? So unwise...''*smashes the ground beneath Sam, sending him falling to his (almost) death*''
** Optimus in ''[[Film/TransformersDarkOfTheMoon Dark of the Moon]]'':
--> '''Megatron''': ...Besides, who would be without me, Prime?
--> '''Optimus''': [[spoiler:Time to find out.]]
* ''Film/DieHard'': "Yippie-kai-yay, motherfucker."
* [[Film/{{Serenity}} "My]] [[Film/VForVendetta tu]][[Comicbook/IronMan rn."]]
* [[Film/TropicThunder "Here's my motherfuckin' farm"]]
** Followed up by, "I'm a ''lead'' farmer motherfucker!"
* ''Film/AnchormanTheLegendOfRonBurgundy'' has the great quote by Veronica Corningstone (Christina Applegate): "Because I am good at three things: Fighting, screwing, and reading the news. I've already done one of those today, so what's the other one gonna be? Huh?"
** Screwing?
** Public news really deserves some credit for their sheer bad-assness.
-->"Public news is taking time off for its pledge drive to kick some ass. No commercials! NO MERCY!"
-->"Looks like we got a bilingual blood-fest."
* ''Film/{{Watchmen}}'':
-->'''Rorshach:''' Men get arrested. Dogs get put down.\\
''(cue a prolonged scene of Rorshach hacking a man's skull in half)''
* ''[[Film/HarryPotter Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix]]'':
-->'''Sirius:''' Get away from my godson. ''(SMACK)''

-->'''Dumbledore''': It was foolish of you to come here tonight, Tom. The Aurors are on their way.
-->'''Voldemort''': By which point I shall be gone, and you...shall be dead.
-->*cue the most epic duel in the film franchise at that point*

-->'''Harry''': "Sorry Professor, I must not tell lies." Cue Umbridge's ass kicking.
* ''Franchise/StarWars'' - ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'': Obi-Wan drops from the rafters into General Grievous' midst. Grievous and his guards turn to look at him.
-->'''[[TheObiWan Obi-Wan Kenobi:]]''' Hello there.
** Shortly afterwards in that same scene, Grievous boasts about how he was trained by Count Dooku in the Jedi Arts.
-->''' Obi-Wan:''' Good, because I trained the Jedi who killed Count Dooku.
** Creator/SamuelLJackson had one, too. It didn't ''work'', but you can't deny it was badass:
--->'''Mace Windu:''' In the name of the Galactic Senate of the Republic... ''(fires up lightsaber)'' you are under arrest, Chancellor Palpatine.
* ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean:''
** ''At World's End'': "Then what shall we die for?"
** ''On Stranger Tides'': Jack: "Oh I understand everything. Except that wig." Spectacular escape ensues.
* ''Film/{{Equilibrium}}'': Made even better for the fact that ''{{Character/DuPont}}'' was attempting to [[BreakThemByTalking break Preston's resolve by getting him to surrender]] as well as tell [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech him how much he played right into his hands]]. However, Preston is not that easy in giving up without a fight, especially since he's [[UnstoppableRage suffered enough and very willing to exact revenge]] and [[ShutUpHannibal instantly shows him the end of a barrel of a gun]]. ''{{DuPont}}'' stupidly underestimates Preston's abilities, [[TranquilFury the latter determined to destroy the corrupt, murderous system]].
--> '''John Preston:''' No. Not without incident.
* Subverted in ''Film/{{United 93}}'' as the passengers psych up for the [[StormingTheCastle rush on the cockpit]]. Todd Beamer's famous, "Let's roll!" is treated as a barely noticeable throw-away.

* ''Film/RoboCop1987''
-->"Dead or alive, you're coming with me."
-->"Your move, creep."
* ''Film/KickAss'': It should be no surprise this has many, but probably the most famous is Hit-Girl's. Wherein she starts by inverting the normal order of things by killing the boss first, then addresses the mooks: "Okay you [[CountryMatters cunts]]...let's see what you can do now." *counts foes and watches to see which one makes a move first* "Eenie...meenie...minie..." *a mook goes for a weapon* "MOE!"
* ''Film/{{Jaws}}''
--> "''Smile, you son of a -''" *BOOM*
* Played and lampshaded in ''Film/PulpFiction'', by Jules Winfield who recited Ezekiel 25:17 (although an extended version) and admits he liked to do it before killing someone.
* In ''Film/{{Soldier}}'', one super soldier is getting ready to battle a squad of improved versions.
--> "There are seventeen of them. What do you plan to do?"
--> "I'm going to kill them all."
* [[TheScorpionKing Who dies first?]]
* '''[[Film/TheIncredibleHulk HULK SMASH!]]'''
* [[Film/FatalDeviation "Fuck you and your gun, ya prick!"]]
* From the final fight with Wesker in ''Film/ResidentEvilAfterlife'':

* In ''{{Sahara}}'', Al Giordino says "Hi, how ya doin'?" several times right before knocking a Mook senseless.
* ''Film/ScottPilgrimVsTheWorld'' gives us this beauty:
-->'''Scott:''' I dislike you.
-->'''Todd:''' Tell it to the cleaning lady on Monday.
-->'''Scott:''' What?
-->'''Todd:''' Because... because you'll be dust on Monday.
-->'''Scott:''' Huh?
-->'''Todd:''' Because I'll be pulverizing you sometime over the weekend.
-->'''Scott:''' I'm sorry... what?
-->'''Todd:''' And the cleaning lady... cleans up... dust. She dusts. And she has weekends off, so... Monday. Right?
-->'''Envy:''' What in the hell are you talking about, Todd?
** On the more eloquent side:
-->'''Scott:''' Mr. Lee! You're wanted back on stage!
* ''Film/JudgeDredd''. During Dredd and Rico's FinalBattle. Slightly subverted in that Rico ends up doing most of the ass kicking at first.
--> '''Rico''': I'm the only one who never lied to you.
--> '''Dredd''': I'll be the judge of that.
* Threatened in ''{{Juice}}'': "''Sit yo' five-dollar ass down before I make change!''"
* [[PrecisionFStrike Fuck you]], [[Film/{{Leprechaun}} Lucky Charms]].
* ''Film/StarTrekVITheUndiscoveredCountry'': [[TranquilFury "Target that explosion and fire."]]
* [[Film/ChildsPlay "This is the end friend."]]
* In ''Film/{{Serenity}}'', Capt. Reynolds gets one
--> '''The Operative:''' Do you know what your sin is Mal?
--> '''Capt. Malcolm Reynolds:''' Ah hell, I'm a fan of all seven. But right now, I'm gonna have to go with '''wrath'''.
* In ''Film/TheAvengers'', the Hulk - seemingly a script-writer favorite for awesome one-liners - gets one during the climax when the large alien whale-ship-thing is bearing down on the group
--> '''Captain America:''' Dr. Banner? Now might be a really good time for you to get angry
--> '''Bruce Banner:''' *looking at Cap* That's my secret, Cap. [[TranquilFury I'm always angry.]] *turns and effortlessly morphs into the Hulk in about five seconds, crushing the ship with one punch*
* In ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier'', a bunch of mooks have Cap [[ElevatorActionSequence surrounded in an elevator]].
--> '''Captain America:''' Before we get started, does anyone want to get out?
* ''Film/VForVendetta'': "The only thing you and I have in common is that we are both about to die".
** Just after getting shot for more than ten seconds by an entire squad of fingermen wielding guns, V delivers a short one before slaughtering them all. Plus points for it being only moments after the quote above in a sort of one - liner combo.
-->'''V:''' My turn.
** Really, V delivers quite a few of these.
-->'''V:''' [Just before killing several fingermen] Penny for the Guy?
** And this one.
-->'''Prothero:''' [[TheReveal You... it is you!]]
-->'''V:''' The ghost of Christmas Past. [[spoiler: Cue offscreen murder of Prothero.]]
** And ''this'' one.
-->'''Lillimond:''' Oh please, have mercy!
-->'''V:''' Oh, not tonight, Bishop... not tonight!
* Creator/ChowYunFat delivers a hilarious one-liner before offing the gay BigBad in ''FullContact'': "Masturbate in Hell!"

* [[Film/TheWaterboy "Stop making fun of me!"]]
* ''Film/BattleLosAngeles'': From Staff Sergeant Nantz, right before the final shootout over the drone control center:

--> '''Pyro:'''"You know all those dangerous mutants you hear about in the news? I'm the worst one."

* From ''{{Film/Gladiator}}'', Maximus eloquently speaks to his troops:
--> '''Maximus:''' At my signal, unleash hell.
* ''Film/{{Oblivion2013}}'': [[spoiler: '''Jack:''' [[PrecisionFStrike Fuck you]], Sally. *[[HeroicSacrifice detonates]] [[NukeEm fuel cells]]*]]
* ''Film/TheWarriors'': Ajax isn't exactly the GeniusBruiser of the gang, but he does get the best P.A.K.O.L.: "I'm gonna shove that bat up your ass and turn you into a popsicle."
* [[DemolitionMan "You're gonna regret this for the rest of your life -- both seconds of it."]]
* ''Film/MightyMorphinPowerRangersTheMovie'':
--> '''Tommy:''' ''[Grabbing a shovel pole and confronting the Ooze Men]'' Welcome to ''my'' nightmare.
