2 | |
3 | * The prison riot that follows the opening scene has some decently intense gunplay. It helps that rather than have Ben be a OneManArmy, his friend Laughlin and a RedShirt prisoner named Chico also get some good action moments. |
4 | * Ben Richards give a classic hero speech to a trapped Dynamo. |
5 | -->'''Richards:''' No. I won't kill a helpless human being. Not even sadistic scum... like you. |
6 | * His response to Killian's offer of a contract as a network stalker is also pretty impressive: |
7 | -->''(Having wrenched a camera off the wall)'' You cold-blooded bastard! I'll tell you what I think of it; I'll live to see you eat that contract! But I hope you leave enough room for ''my fist'', because I'm going to '''ram it into your stomach''' '''''and break your goddamn spine!''''' ''(smashes the camera)'' |
8 | ** [[https://youtu.be/EYoBrhlTX1Q?si=90XLUhlyZNkOshqr&t=359 Cinema Sins]] actually ''took off a sin point'' for this line. |
9 | ** [[OhCrap Killian’s face]] after this line is priceless. |
10 | * Ben Richards winning the once hostile crowd over to the point of betting on him to win the contest. |
11 | -->'''Old Lady:''' "I choose... Ben Richards! That boy is a mean [[PrecisionFStrike motherfucker!]]" |
12 | * Killian's an evil bastard, but he actually has a good comeback to Arnold's [[Film/TheTerminator most famous one-liner]]: |
13 | -->'''Richards:''' I'll be back.\ |
14 | '''Killian:''' ''(smiles)'' Only in a rerun. |
15 | * Captain Freedom telling off Killian and refusing to go against Richards with an unfair advantage. |
16 | * [[LargeHam Dynamo]]'s introduction, where he sings an opera aria and uses his LightningGun to [[MundaneUtility power a neon sign]] saying, "Clap if you love DYNAMO!" The actor, Erland Van Lidth De Jeude, [[TheCastShowoff did the singing himself]]. |
17 | * "KILLIAN IS LYING TO YOU." |
18 | * "[[IronicEcho Hello, cutie pie. One of us is in big trouble]]!" |
19 | * Richards sending Killian crashing through a billboard sign and blowing him up followed by the BondOneLiner: "Well, that hit the spot." |
20 | * Amber's fight with the armed, trained stalker Dynamo, particularly when she gives him a GroinAttack. |
