8* ''Film/TwentyOneJumpStreet'': "You peaked in high school, motherfucker."
9* ''Film/ThreeHundred''
10** [[PunctuatedForEmphasis THIS! IS! SPARTA!]]
11** 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.
12*** 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."
13*** The Spartans didn't get their asses kicked at Thermopylae. True they lost, but they did NOT get their asses kicked.[[note]]A Greek force which had at the very most 8000 men, holding off a Persian force which the most conservative modern estimates put at 70,000, for ''three days''? No, the Spartans didn't get their asses kicked.[[/note]]
14* ''Film/AirForceOne'': "Get off my plane!"
15* Ripley's "Get away from her, you bitch!" in ''Film/{{Aliens}}''.
16** As well as "Let's rock!", followed by a long burst of [[{{BFG}} Smart Gun]] fire.
17* ''Film/AnchormanTheLegendOfRonBurgundy'' has the great quote by Veronica Corningstone (Creator/ChristinaApplegate): "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?"
18** Screwing?
19** Public news really deserves some credit for their sheer bad-assness.
20-->"Public news is taking time off for its pledge drive to kick some ass. No commercials! NO MERCY!"
21-->"Looks like we got a bilingual blood-fest."
22* In ''Film/TheAvengers2012'', 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:
23--> '''Captain America:''' Dr. Banner? Now might be a really good time for you to get angry.
24--> '''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.''
25* ''Film/AvengersEndgame'' has one a long time coming. [[spoiler:As Thanos approaches the Nano Gauntlet, every ally that could come is teleported on the scene. With all the forces of Thanos and the Avengers standing off, Captain America begins the fight with:]]
26--> [[spoiler:"AVENGERS! ...Assemble."]]
27** Also in ''Endgame'' there is this exchange between [[spoiler: the recently-resurrected Scarlet Witch and Thanos, before she proceeds to single-handedly kick his ass so hard he hard to order his ship to bombard the entire area from orbit to get away from her]]:
28-->[[spoiler: '''Scarlet Witch''': You took ''everything'' from me.]]
29-->[[spoiler: '''Thanos''': I don't even know who you are.]]
30-->[[spoiler: '''Scarlet Witch''': ''You will.'']]
31** And lest we forget, the ShutUpHannibal that ends everything.
32-->[[spoiler: '''Thanos''' (''having just recovered the Nano Gauntlet''): I am inevitable. (''snaps fingers, nothing happens, looks at gauntlet to find that there's no Infinity Stones in it'')]]
33-->[[spoiler: '''Tony Stark''' (''holding up his hand as the six Infinity Stones appear in his Iron Man suit''): And I...am...''Iron Man''. (''snap'')]]
34* ''Film/BadTaste'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGCzBwid1Ko "Suck my spinning steel, shithead!"]]
35* ''Film/{{Batman|1989}}'' (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.]]]]
36** 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]].
37** 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).
38*** It goes one level deeper; Jack Napier sounds suspiciously like "jackanapes," an archaic English word meaning "an impertinent or mischievous person."
39* ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice''
40--> '''Comicbook/{{Batman}}''': You're not brave. [[FantasticRacism Men are brave]].
41--> '''Comicbook/WonderWoman''': I've killed things from other worlds before.
42* ''Film/BattleLosAngeles'': From Staff Sergeant Nantz, right before the final shootout over the drone control center:
43-->"Marines, we make our stand here. Let those bastards know who they're fucking with."
44* From ''WesternAnimation/{{Beowulf|2007}}'':
45-->"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]]''!"
46** "I'm 'ere to kill your monstah."
47* 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).
48* 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?!]]"
49** And later on, [[spoiler: before Blade finishes off Frost,]] "Some muthafuckas always trying to ice skate uphill."
50*** How can you forget the very last line of the movie spoken in Russian? "Catch you at a bad time, tovarisch?"
51* ''Film/ABronxTale'': "Now youse can't leave."
52* In ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier'', a bunch of mooks have Cap [[ElevatorActionSequence surrounded in an elevator]], none of them knowing that he's figured out that they're about to attack him.
53--> '''Captain America:''' Before we get started, does anyone want to get out?
54* ''Film/ChildsPlay'': "This is the end friend."
55* ''Film/TheChroniclesOfRiddick''.
56-->'''Riddick:''' Remember that favorite game of yours?\
57'''Kyra:''' "Who's the better killer?"\
58'''Riddick:''' Let's play.
59**
60-->'''Riddick:''' I can kill you with my teacup.
61* ''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!"
62* ''Film/{{Commando}}'':
63-->'''[[ScaryBlackMan Mac]]:''' Scared motherfucker? Well, you should be. 'Cause this Green Beret is gonna kick your big ass!\
64'''[[Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger Matrix]]:''' I eat Green Berets for breakfast, and right now I'm very hungry!\
65'''Cindy:''' ''(hiding under a table)'' I can't believe this macho bullshit...
66** and:
67-->'''[[Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger Matrix]]:''' Remember when I said I would kill you last? ... I lied.
68* ''Film/{{Congo}}'': Ross gets a pretty cool one when she gets the laser operational at the climax:
69-->'''Ross''': We're getting the hell outta here.
70-->'''Munro''': What about them ([[KillerGorilla the gorillas]])?
71-->'''Ross''': Put 'em on the endangered species list! (''fires laser, cuts the group surrounding Amy and Peter'' '''''literally''''' ''in half'')
72* ''Film/TheDarkKnight'':
73-->'''ComicBook/TheJoker:''' ''(to Rachel)'' A little fight in you, I ''like'' that.\
74'''Batman:''' Then you're gonna love me.\
75''(...)''\
76'''The Joker:''' You know how I got these scars?\
77'''Batman:''' No, but I know how you got ''these''.
78** And from [[Film/BatmanBegins the previous movie]]:
79-->'''Gigantic Con''': You are in hell, little man! And I am the devil!\
80'''Bruce Wayne''': You're not the devil. You're ''practice''.
81** [[Film/TheDarkKnightRises The latest installment carries on the tradition]], only with Batman on the receiving end:
82-->'''CIA Agent''': Well congratulations! You got yourself caught? What's the next step in your master plan.
83-->'''Bane''': Crashing this plane...'''''WITH NO SURVIVORS!''''' (*beatdown ensues)
84** Later
85-->'''Batman''': You're just made a serious mistake.
86-->'''Bane''': Not as serious as yours, I fear...
87-->'''Batman''': Bane.
88-->'''Bane''': Let us not stand on ceremony...Mr Wayne.
89* ''Film/DemolitionMan'': "You're gonna regret this for the rest of your life -- both seconds of it."
90* ''Film/DieHard'': "Yippie-kai-yay, motherfucker."
91* ''Film/DirtyHarry'': " 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya, punk?"
92* ''Film/DollFactory'': Darius Grumley delivers this line before unloading his gun on some dolls.
93-->'''Darius Grumley:''' Trick or treat, motherfuckers!
94* And Creator/ClintEastwood again, ''Film/SuddenImpact'' (the fourth in the series) this time: "Go ahead, make my day."
95** And then there's this gem:
96-->'''Harry Callahan:''' We're not gonna let you walk outta here.\
97'''Crook:''' Who's "we", suckah!?!\
98'''Harry Callahan:''' ''(reaching for his gun)'' Smith, Wesson and me!
99** Also in ''Film/TheDeadPool'':
100--->'''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)''
101** Creator/TerryPratchett parodies that first one in ''Literature/NightWatchDiscworld''. 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.
102* ''Film/EnterTheDragon'':
103** "You have offended my family, and you have offended the Shaolin Temple."
104** "Boards don't hit back."
105* ''Film/{{Equilibrium}}'': Made even better for the fact that [=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]].
106--> '''John Preston:''' No. Not without incident.
107* In ''Film/ErnestScaredStupid'', after having Rimshot reverse their truck towards Trantor, Ernest delivers this line.
108-->'''Ernest:''' How 'bout a bumper sandwhich, boogerlips!?
109* ''Franchise/EvilDead'':
110** ''Film/EvilDead2''. "Groovy."
111-->'''Deadite:''' I'll swallow your soul!\
112'''Ash:''' Swallow {{this|IsMyBoomstick}}.
113** ''Film/ArmyOfDarkness''.
114-->'''Ash:''' Ma'am, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to ask you to leave the store.
115-->'''Ash:''' Come get some.
116-->'''Ash:''' All right, you primitive screwheads, listen up! See this? ThisIsMyBoomstick!
117-->'''Ash:''' Honey, you got reeaalll ugly.
118-->'''Ash''': Yo, she-bitch. [''[[DramaticGunCock chick-chick]]''] Let's go.
119* ''The Expendables''
120** ''Film/TheExpendables'':
121--> Gunnar: What do you wear, size three? Bring it, ''WesternAnimation/HappyFeet''!
122** Also in ''Film/TheExpendables2'':
123--> Barney: I'm not gonna hurt you. I'm gonna take your life.
124* Inverted in ''Film/FaceOff'': Archer has been through so much shit and is so exasperated that he can't muster a cool one liner. "PLEASE DIE!"
125* ''Film/TheFastAndTheFurious'':
126** ''Film/TwoFastTwoFurious'' has Roman's line during his BigDamnHeroes moment:
127-->''It's Barstow, baby! It's about to get ugly!''
128** ''Film/{{Furious7}}'':
129*** "You thought this was gonna be a street fight? You're damn right it is."
130*** Also:
131--->'''[[Wrestling/TheRock Luke:]]''' Gotta go to work.
132* ''Film/FatalDeviation'': "Fuck you and your gun, ya prick!"
133* Creator/ChowYunFat delivers a hilarious one-liner before offing the gay BigBad in ''FullContact'': "Masturbate in Hell!"
134* ''Film/{{Ghostbusters 1984}}'': "Let's show this prehistoric bitch how we do things downtown!"
135* From ''{{Film/Gladiator}}'', Maximus eloquently speaks to his troops:
136--> '''Maximus:''' At my signal, unleash hell.
137* In ''Film/GoldenEye'', the master of the [[BondOneLiner post-asskicking one-liner]], Film/JamesBond, is introduced giving one of those. Once a guard in the toilet puts down his paper and sees Bond is there hanging upside down, 007 says "Pardon me, forgot to knock." and punches him unconscious.
138* ''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."
139** "''Get off my lawn''".
140* ''Film/{{Grindhouse}}''. "They just fucked with the wrong Mexican!"
141-->'''{{Mook|s}}:''' Have mercy, father.\
142'''[[ChurchMilitant Padre Cheech Marin]]:''' God has mercy. I don't.
143* ''[[Film/HarryPotter Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix]]'':
144-->'''Sirius:''' Get away from my godson. ''(SMACK)''
145-->'''Dumbledore''': It was foolish of you to come here tonight, Tom. The Aurors are on their way.
146-->'''Voldemort''': By which point I shall be gone, and you...shall be dead.
147-->*cue the most epic duel in the film franchise at that point*
148-->'''Harry''': "Sorry Professor, I must not tell lies." Cue Umbridge's ass kicking.
149* ''Film/HappyGilmore'':
150** Bob Barker before retaliating against Happy.
151-->'''Barker:''' I don't want a piece of you. I want the whole THING!
152** Later from Happy, himself, after seeing Chubbs singing "We've Only Just Begun" in his happy place.
153-->'''Happy:''' It ain't over yet, [=McGavin=]. The way I see it, [[HeroicSecondWind we've only just begun.]]
154* ''Film/Hellboy2004'': "YouKilledMyFather. Your ass is mine!"
155* ''Franchise/{{Highlander}}'': "[[{{Tagline}} There can be only one!]]"
156* ''Film/TheHobbitTheBattleOfTheFiveArmies'' gives us two back-to-back when the rest of the White Council shows up to help Galadriel rescue Gandalf from the Ring Wraiths at Dol Guldur.
157-->'''Saruman''': Are you in need of assistance, my lady?
158-->'''Elrond''': You should have stayed dead.
159* ''Film/HotFuzz'':
160-->'''Nicholas Angel:''' ''(riding into town carrying an obscene amount of weaponry)'' Morning.
161* ''Film/TheIncredibleHulk2008'': '''HULK SMASH!'''
162* ''Franchise/IndianaJones'':
163** Just before the final battle in ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheTempleOfDoom'', Indy tells the main villain this:
164--->''Mola Ram! Prepare to meet Kali...in Hell!''
165** ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheKingdomOfTheCrystalSkull'': Indy prefaces one fight with one of President Eisenhower's campaign slogans: "I like Ike."
166* This exchange from ''Film/IronEagle'':
167-->'''Col. Nakesh''': You may deal directly with me now, Col. Akir Nakesh!
168-->'''Doug Masters''': And you can deal with me, Doug Masters!
169* In ''Film/IronMan3'', Tony Stark summons an army of Iron Man armors to rescue the President and Pepper Potts from Killian.
170--> '''Tony''': [[AnAssKickingChristmas It's Christmas.]] Take 'em to church!
171* ''Film/{{It 2017}}'' has this line, courtesy of Richie, right before he smashes a bat into [[EldritchAbomination Pennywise's]] face, starting the final fight:
172-->"Welcome to the Loser's Club, asshole!"
173* ''Film/{{Jaws}}''
174--> "''Smile, you son of a -''" *BOOM*
175* ''Film/JennifersBody'' gives a couple good ones to Creator/AmandaSeyfried's character Anita "Needy" Lesnicki:
176** When confronting [[Creator/MeganFox Jennifer]] toward the end: "St. Jude, patron saint of hopeless causes, please give me the power to ''crush this bitch!''"
177** At the end Needy hunts down Low Shoulder, [[RockMeAsmodeus the band that sacrificed Jennifer to Satan]] and inadvertently made her into a MonsterFromBeyondTheVeil. While hitching a ride to the hotel where Low Shoulder is staying on tour, she explains to the driver that she's following a rock band, then mentions: "Tonight's going to be their last show."
178* ''Film/JudgeDredd''. During Dredd and Rico's FinalBattle. Slightly subverted in that Rico ends up doing most of the ass kicking at first.
179--> '''Rico''': I'm the only one who never lied to you.
180--> '''Dredd''': I'll be the judge of that.
181* Threatened in ''Film/{{Juice}}'': "''Sit yo' five-dollar ass down before I make change!''"
182* ''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!"
183* ''Film/KillBill'':
184** "You and I have unfinished business."
185** "Bitch, you don't have a future."
186* In ''Film/KingArthur2004'', 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."
187* ''Film/KingsmanTheSecretService'':
188** "Manners" (click) "Maketh" (click) "Man" (click). Both [[MentorArchetype Hart]] and [[spoiler:[[TheHero Eggsy]]]] say this before delivering a beatdown on Eggsy's stepfather's gang.
189** At the start of the film, Lancelot gets an incredibly cordial one after knocking on the door of the chalet a bunch of goons are holed up in:
190-->"I suppose asking to borrow a cup of sugar is a step too far."
191* ''Film/KingsmanTheGoldenCircle'': ''Elton John'' of all people gets one:
192-->'''Mook:''' Elton, just calm down-\
193'''Elton:''' [[SirSwearsALot Fuck off, or I'll fuck you up!]]
194* ''Film/KongSkullIsland'': When the group are about to face off against a small Skullcrawler in the boneyard, [[Characters/MonsterVerseUSGovernmentAndMilitary Marlow]] draws Gunpei's ''[[TragicKeepsake shin-guntō]]'' and whispers in his fallen [[FireForgedFriends fire-forged friend]]'s native tongue, "''Death before dishonor''". A few seconds later, the Crawler charges, and Marlow manages to both survive and wound it in the leg.
195* ''Film/LastActionHero'' (Before kicking a police officer in the groin):
196-->'''Jack Slater:''' You want to be a farmer? Here's a couple of achers!
197* ''Film/TheLastBoyScout'': Creator/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!'"
198** "Touch me again, and I'll kill you."
199* ''Film/{{Leprechaun}}'': [[PrecisionFStrike Fuck you]], Lucky Charms.
200* In ''Film/LicenceToKill'', James Bond gets one of these after his license to kill is revoked, and right before he leaves the scene ''with'' his weapon.
201-->'''James Bond''': I guess it's a farewell to arms.
202* ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'':
203** "Do you not know death when you see it, old man? This is ''my'' hour!"
204** "There's plenty for the both of us! May the ''best dwarf win!''
205** "Let them come! There is one dwarf in Moria who ''still draws breath!"''
206** The rooster crow would've been great, if they'd left it in the movie. Ah well.
207** Not quite a one-liner, but "YouShallNotPass!" and the little pile of taunts that preceded it.
208--->'''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!
209** "[[NoManOfWomanBorn I am no man.]]" (face stab)
210** "If you want him, come and claim him!" by Arwen. Incidentally, it could be another translation of the Spartan "Molon Labe"
211** FORTH EORLINGAS!
212* When the FinalBattle in ''Film/MadMaxFuryRoad'' kicks off with Slit pursuing the War Rig in the Interceptor:
213-->'''Keeper of the Seeds''': Here we go, girls!
214-->'''Max''': (starts shooting at the Interceptor) That's mine!
215* ''Film/TheMatrix'': "[[VerbThis Dodge This]]."
216** 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".
217** In a variation of the trope, the Pre-Asskicking One Liner in the opening scene of the movie is delivered by a character who is not even in the same building:
218-->'''Police Lieutenant''': ''"I think we can handle one little girl."''
219-->'''Agent Smith''': ''"No, Lieutenant. Your men are already dead."''
220** 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.
221* ''Film/MightyMorphinPowerRangersTheMovie'':
222--> '''Tommy:''' ''[Grabbing a shovel pole and confronting the Ooze Men]'' Welcome to ''my'' nightmare.
223* ''Film/MysteryMen''
224** 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.")
225** His teammate, Mr. Furious, has a plethora of really bad one-liners... Also, the first fight starts with one from each hero present.
226* In ''Film/TheNeverendingStory,'' Atreyu challenging G'mork: "If we're about to die anyway, I'd rather die ''fighting!'' Come for me, G'mork! ''I am Atreyu!"'' Could also double as a PreMortemOneLiner, since he kills G'mork within seconds of saying it.
227* ''Film/NewJackCity'': "Idolater! Your soul is required in Hell!"
228* ''Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet'': "Freddy's gonna get you."
229** Also, as delivered by the FinalGirl in ''Film/FreddyVsJason'': [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome Welcome to my world,]] [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch bitch!]]
230* ''Film/{{Oblivion 2013}}'': [[spoiler: '''Jack:''' [[PrecisionFStrike Fuck you]], Sally. *[[HeroicSacrifice detonates]] [[NukeEm fuel cells]]*]]
231* ''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:
232--> '''Stranger:''' ''"Where is Frank?"''
233--> '''Gunman #1:''' ''"Frank send us."''
234--> '''Stranger:''' ''"You bring a horse for me?"''
235--> '''Gunman #1:''' ''"Looks like we're shy one horse..."''
236--> '''Stranger:''' ''"You brought two too many..."''
237--> *beat*
238--> [[BlastOut *bang* *bang* *bang*]] ... [[DoubleKnockout *bang*]]
239* ''Film/TheOutsiders'': "Don't you know a rumble ain't a rumble without me?"
240* In ''Film/OzTheGreatAndPowerful'', right before forcing Oz into an InvoluntaryDance, the Wicked Witch of the West curtsies and asks, "May I have this dance?"
241* ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean:''
242** ''[[Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanTheCurseOfTheBlackPearl The Curse of the Black Pearl]]'': Jack tells Barbossa, "Me, I'm dishonest. And a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest - honestly. It's the ''honest'' ones you want to watch out for. 'Cause you can never tell when they're about to do something... incredibly... stupid."
243** ''[[Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanAtWorldsEnd At World's End]]'': "Then what shall we die for?"
244** ''[[Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanOnStrangerTides On Stranger Tides]]'': Jack: "Oh I understand everything. Except that wig." Spectacular escape ensues.
245* ''{{Film/Pixels}}'': In the final battle scene, as Sam Brenner gets to the top, where Donkey Kong is waiting for him with an evil grin and barrel in his hand, Sam looks dead at DK and says "I've been waiting to do this since 1982.", followed by throwing his hammer at DK and defeating him, finally winning the battle and giving Sam the proper Donkey Kong win he deserved.
246* ''Film/ThePrincessBride'': {{JustForFun/Hello}}. MyNameIsInigoMontoya. YouKilledMyFather. PrepareToDie."
247** ToThePain!
248* 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.
249* ''Film/RampagePresidentDown'', Bill as he prepares to use a machine gun upon a whole squadron of SWAT men hunting him down as retribution for assassinating the US president.
250-->'''Bill Williamson:''' "Okay you fucks, welcome to Camp Bill!"
251* From the final fight with Wesker in ''Film/ResidentEvilAfterlife'':
252-->'''Alice:''' I told you I'd be bringing a few friends.
253-->'''Wesker:''' *Smirking* ...You should have brought more.
254* Possibly the shortest example of this trope ever in ''Film/RiseOfThePlanetOfTheApes'':
255-->[[spoiler:'''Caesar''': '''''[[BigNo NOOO]][[WhamLine OOOO!]]''''']]
256* ''Film/RoboCop1987''
257-->"Dead or alive, you're coming with me."
258-->"Your move, creep."
259* Rocky and Mason exchange one before the final round in ''Film/RockyBalboa'':
260-->'''Mason''': You're one crazy old man.
261-->'''Rocky''': You'll get there.
262* In ''Film/{{Sahara 2005}}'', Al Giordino says "Hi, how ya doin'?" several times right before knocking a Mook senseless.
263* ''Film/TheSantaClause'': "We're your worst nightmare -- elves with an attitude."
264* Film/{{Scarface 1983}}'s "SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND!"
265* ''Film/TheScorpionKing'': Who dies first?
266* ''Film/ScottPilgrimVsTheWorld'' gives us this beauty:
267-->'''Scott:''' I dislike you.
268-->'''Todd:''' Tell it to the cleaning lady on Monday.
269-->'''Scott:''' What?
270-->'''Todd:''' Because I'm going to pound into dust.
271-->'''Scott:''' Huh?
272-->'''Todd:''' And the cleaning lady...dusts. She dusts.
273-->'''Scott:''' I'm sorry...what about Monday?
274-->'''Todd:''' Well, today's Friday, and she has weekends off, so... Monday. Right?
275-->'''Envy:''' Look, basically, this is a fight you can't win, so you might as well back off.
276** On the more eloquent side:
277-->'''Scott:''' Mr. Lee! You're wanted back on stage!
278** And after Scott takes a level in understanding.
279-->'''Gideon:''' You wanna fight me...for her?\
280'''Scott:''' No. I want to fight you for me. (Scott gained the Power of Self-Respect!)
281* In ''Film/{{Serenity}}'', Capt. Reynolds gets one
282--> '''The Operative:''' Do you know what your sin is Mal?
283--> '''Capt. Malcolm Reynolds:''' Ah hell, I'm a fan of all seven. But right now, I'm gonna have to go with '''wrath'''.
284** So does River, who addresses her brother with this one before unleashing a beatdown on the Reavers:
285--> You take care of me, Simon. You've always taken care of me. ''My turn ''.
286* ''Film/ShootEmUp'', whenever [[TheGunslinger Smith's]] BerserkButton gets pressed: "You know what I hate?"
287* ''Film/SilentNightDeadlyNightPart2'': "[[Memes/LiveActionFilms Garbage Day!]]"
288* ''Film/{{Skyfall}}'': "Welcome to Scotland!"
289* ''Film/SkyHigh2005'': [[BewareTheNiceOnes "Big mistake!"]]
290* In ''Film/{{Soldier}}'', one super soldier is getting ready to battle a squad of improved versions.
291--> "There are seventeen of them. What do you plan to do?"
292--> "I'm going to kill them all."
293* Aunt May, of all people, gets one of these in ''Film/SpiderMan2.'' Doctor Octopus takes her hostage, wraps her in his mechanical arms, and climbs the side of a building. He then prepares to impale Spider-Man in a sneak attack. Aunt May's [[NeverMessWithGranny not having any of it]]:
294--> '''Aunt May''': ''Shame'' on you.
295--> ''(Smacks Doctor Octopus with her umbrella, saving Spider-Man)''
296* ''Film/StarTrek2009'': TheDragon has Kirk by the throat, holding him over a ledge and gloating about how weak humans are. Kirk makes some vague choking noises, prompting the villain to observe that Kirk "can't even speak!" Kirk's response? A suddenly lucid "[[PreMortemOneLiner I've got your gun]]!" at which point he promptly gives TheDragon back his ammo. Right in the chest.
297* ''Film/StarTrekFirstContact'': Worf -- "Assimilate this"
298** Alternatively, Data's "Resistance. Is. Futile."
299* ''Film/StarTrekVITheUndiscoveredCountry'': [[TranquilFury "Target that explosion and fire."]]
300** ''Film/StarTrekIntoDarkness'': "Attention: John Harrison. This is Captain Hikaru Sulu of the USS ''Enterprise''. A shuttle of highly trained officers is on its way to your location. 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. Refusal to do so will result in your obliteration. If you test me, you will fail." Sulu, no matter what ship or universe he's in, is a badass.
301** ''Film/StarTrekBeyond'': "Let's make some noise."
302* ''Franchise/StarWars'' -- ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'': Obi-Wan drops from the rafters into General Grievous' midst. Grievous and his guards turn to look at him.
303-->'''Obi-Wan Kenobi:''' Hello there.
304** Shortly afterwards in that same scene, Grievous boasts about how he was trained by Count Dooku in the Jedi Arts.
305-->''' Obi-Wan:''' Good, because I trained the Jedi who killed Count Dooku.
306** Creator/SamuelLJackson had one, too. It didn't ''work'', but you can't deny it was badass:
307--->'''Mace Windu:''' In the name of the Galactic Senate of the Republic... ''(fires up lightsaber)'' you are under arrest, Chancellor Palpatine.
308** Palpatine counters with his own before ''effortlessly slaughtering 3 Jedi masters''.
309--->'''Chancellor Palpatine:''' "It's treason, then."
310** As does Yoda, upon barging into the Emperor Palpatine's office, and pursuing the latter as he retreats to the Senate Chamber.
311--->'''Yoda:''' If so powerful you are, why leave?
312* ''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."
313* Guile -- played [[SoBadItsGood memorably]] by Creator/JeanClaudeVanDamme -- attempts several of these in ''Film/StreetFighter''. Attempts.
314-->'''Guile:''' I'm the Repo Man... and you're out of business.
315-->'''Guile:''' This is the collection agency, Bison! Your ass is six month overdue... and it's mine!
316* ''Film/SupermanII''
317** When Superman shows up to fight the Kryptonian criminals, he says "General, would you care to step outside?" This also doubles as MeaningfulEcho, given that a depowered Clark said almost the same thing to the trucker in the diner before getting beaten up.
318** Just before Lois Lane punches a de-powered Ursa and knocks her into a crevasse, she says:
319-->'''Lois:''' "You know something? You're a real pain in the neck!"
320* Casey Jones in ''Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1990'': "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."
321* "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.
322* ''Film/TransformersRevengeOfTheFallen'' gives us this exchange as a prelude to (one of) Optimus' [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome MoA]]:
323-->'''Megatron:''' Is the future of our race not worth a single human life?\
324'''Optimus:''' You'll never stop at one... ''I'll take you ALL on!''
325** Also:
326-->'''Optimus:''' You picked the wrong planet! [[OffWithHisHead GIVE ME YOUR FACE!]]
327** And then, he actually took his face.
328** Another from the very beginning, when Optimus single-handedly takes down a decepticon around four times his size that's rampaging through a highway:
329-->'''Optimus:''' Pull over!
330** From [[Film/Transformers2007 the first movie]], we have 3 from Megatron.
331--> '''Megatron''': No, it's ''just'' '''''me''''' Prime!
332--> '''Megatron''': Join them in ''extinction''!
333--> '''Megatron''': Oh, so unwise...''*smashes the ground beneath Sam, sending him falling to his (almost) death*''
334** Optimus in ''[[Film/TransformersDarkOfTheMoon Dark of the Moon]]'':
335--> '''Megatron''': ...Besides, who would you be without me, Prime?
336--> '''Optimus''': [[spoiler:Time to find out.]]
337* ''Film/TropicThunder'':
338** "Here's my motherfuckin' farm"
339** Followed up by, "I'm a ''lead'' farmer motherfucker!"
340* ''Film/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!"
341* 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.
342* ''Film/{{Unknown 2011}}'': "I didn't forget everything. I remember how to kill you, asshole."
343* ''Film/VForVendetta'': "The only thing you and I have in common is that we are both about to die".
344** 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.
345-->'''V:''' My turn.
346** Really, V delivers quite a few of these.
347-->'''V:''' [Just before killing several fingermen] Penny for the Guy?
348** And this one.
349-->'''Prothero:''' [[TheReveal You... it is you!]]
350-->'''V:''' The ghost of Christmas Past. [[spoiler: Cue offscreen murder of Prothero.]]
351** And ''this'' one.
352-->'''Lillimond:''' Oh please, have mercy!
353-->'''V:''' Oh, not tonight, Bishop... not tonight!
354* ''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."
355* ''Film/{{Watchmen}}'':
356-->'''Rorshach:''' Men get arrested. Dogs get put down.\
357''(cue a prolonged scene of Rorshach hacking a man's skull in half)''
358* ''Film/TheWaterboy'': "Stop making fun of me!"
359* Even Franchise/JamesBond can get in on it when he's not straight-up killing {{Mooks}}, such as at the start of ''Film/TheWorldIsNotEnough'' when Bond enters a shady [[SwissBankAccount Swiss banker]]'s office by himself:
360--->'''Lachaise:''' (''Standing behind a seated Bond with two bodyguards flanking him while Bond's gun had been searched and places out of reach on a desk'') Looking at the current situation, strictly as a banker I would have to say that the numbers on not on your side.
361---> '''Bond:''' Well, perhaps you failed to take into account my, uh...hidden assets. (''clicks hidden button in his glasses which remotely triggers his gun and stuns the others, allowing him the opportunity to get the jump and subdue them'')
362* In ''Film/XMen1'', Sabretooth ambushes Storm and has her by the neck. He says he wants to hear her try to scream... She responds with a lightning bolt.
363* ''Film/X2XMenUnited'':
364--> '''Pyro:''' "You know all those dangerous mutants you hear about in the news? I'm the worst one."
365* In ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', Charles Xavier and En Sabah Nur exchange these (and ass-kickings) in a BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind:
366--> '''Charles:''' Welcome to ''my'' world! You're in ''my'' house now! ''[Starts to deal a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown]''\
367'''En Sabah Nur:''' ''[Catches his fist]'' You'll need a bigger house. ''[Multiplies in size and starts throwing Charles around]''
368* ''Film/ZackSnydersJusticeLeague'': Wonder Woman and Aquaman are trapped underneath a pile of rubble, Cyborg is stuck trying to connect to the Unity to prevent it from destroying Earth, and Steppenwolf is approaching him, prepared to chop him with his axe, proclaiming "For Darkseid", before swinging his axe. [[BigDamnHeroes Cue Superman entering the fray and casually blocking the blow with his shoulder in the blink of an eye.]]
369-->'''Superman''': [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Not. Impressed.]]
370-->(Superman proceeds to freeze Steppenwolf's axe with his ice breath, [[OhCrap to the latter's shock]], shatters it with a shrug, and punches him across a bridge)
371
