* "You ain't gettin' near ''my'' daughter! '''Buckle up'''!"
* Cyrus is about to burn Cindino, covered in gasoline, alive. Cindino has just tried to betray him.
-->'''Francisco Cindino''': Cy...
-->'''Cyrus Grissom''': ...onara! (flicks lit cigar)
** [[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118880/quotes Et cetera, et cetera.]]
* Poe takes a bullet to the arm, just keeps marching forward without breaking stride. He doesn't give a fuck.
* When Poe comes across [[SerialRapist Johnny-23]] trying to rape the only female officer of Con Air, he is ''not'' merciful with him. [[PunctuatedPounding "Don't... treat... women... like...that!"]]
* Garland Greene's entrance. Almost every convict was scared as fuck of the little man. Diamond Dog looked like he was about to shit his pants when Cyrus ordered him to release Greene.
** And of course, being the only convict from the plane to escape the police. And gets to play at the casino too. He feels lucky.
* "I'm going to save the ''[[PrecisionFStrike fucking]]'' day."
* "I'm gonna show you God does exist!"
* Arguably one of the most triumphant examples of EvenEvilHasStandards: [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil "If your dick jumps out of your pants, you jump off this plane."]] And you know he means it.
** Really, the entire exchange is worth quoting:
--> '''Cyrus:''' Can you fly, Johnny?
--> '''Johnny 23:''' No?
--> '''Cyrus:''' You keep that in mind when you look at her (Guard Bishop, the Policewoman) because if your dick jumps out of your pants, ''[[ImpliedDeathThreat you jump off this plane.]]''
* Cyrus's absurdly over-the-top and immensely satisfying death by a rock crusher to the face. "[[FridgeLogic Why is there a quarry and rock crusher sitting right there on the Vegas strip?]]", the viewer might ask, to which the movie replies "[[RuleOfCool Because shut up, that's why.]]"
