History BadassCreed / Film

** [[spoiler: When Ralph attempts a HeroicSacrifice, he utters this pledge, thinking it'll be his [[FamousLastWords last words]].]]

* [[Film/The Princess Bride ''Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You murdered my father. Prepare to die.'']]

** The members of the [[LaResistance Rebel Alliance]] get to crib from the Continental Congress (which in turn borrowed from the French Revolution) for the Declaration of Rebellion:

* From ''KingdomofHeaven'', as Balian is being knighted:

* ''{{Dragonheart}}'' has something known as the Old Code. It was apparently the creed that King Arthur's knights lived by:

-->'''Johnny Blaze:''' [''to Mephistopheles after he attempts to take the power of the Ghost Rider from him''] No. I'm gonna own this curse... and I'm gonna use it against you. Whenever innocent blood is spilt, it'll be my father's blood... and you'll find me there. A spirit of vengeance... fighting fire with fire.

* Film/GhostRider:

Ghost rider:(johnny blaze to Mephistopheles after he attempts to take the power of the ghost rider from him) No. I'm gonna own this curse... and I'm gonna use it against you. Whenever innocent blood is spilt, it'll be my father's blood... and you'll find me there. A spirit of vengeance... fighting fire with fire.

* In his last film role in ''TheShootist'' John Wayne's character is a gunfighter with this creed. "I won't be wronged, I won't be insulted and I won't be laid a hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same of them!"

-->Where the brave

---->To fight and oppose you and your forces, by any and all means at our disposal;
---->To refuse any Imperial law contrary to the rights of free beings;
---->To bring about your destruction and the destruction of the Galactic Empire;
---->To make forever free all beings in the galaxy.

* [[Film/GalaxyQuest "By Grabthar's hammer, by the suns of Warvan, you shall be avenged!"]] Though typically played for comedy (rightfully, as the catchphrase of a [[ShowWithinAShow cheesy TV show]]), it's used very well during a certain dramatic point in the movie. The film's ersatz Federation's motto is "Never give up! Never surrender," which is also intentionally cheesy.

--> '''Daskal''': Out of commission, become a pillbox. Out of ammo, become a bunker. Out of time, become heroes.
* [[MontyPythonandtheHolyGrail ''O Lord, bless this Thy hand grenade that with it Thou mayest blow Thine enemies to tiny bits, in Thy mercy.'']]
* From ''Tall Tales'': "Protect the land, defend the defenseless, and never spit in front of women or children." *spits*

* ''{{Dragonheart}}'' also has an oath of service:

* ''PulpFiction'': "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyrannies of evil men..." However, Jules chose it just because it sounds cool, and he's still trying to figure out whether he's the man described in it.

* From ''Battle: Los Angeles'', the 2/5 Marines quote a WWI captain. "Retreat? Hell!"

* From ''Battle: Los Angeles'', the 2/5 Marines quote a WWI captain. "Retreat? Hell!"
* {{Gladiator}}: "My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next."

* ShortCircuit has a more humorous one:

We are the MenInBlack.

* [[Gladiator]]: "My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next."

* ''"At other schools, they send young girls unprepared into a cold merciless world. But here at StTrinians, it is the merciless world which must be prepared."

* [[ZombieLand "Nut up or shut up."]]

* From the ''{{Robocop}}'' series, a set of [[PrimeDirective Prime Directives]] that for all intents and purposes acts like a Badass Creed:

** "Whosoever sheds man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed. For in the image of God made he man."\\
