History BadassCreed / Film

* ''Film/BillAndTed'': The excellent duo created a utopia future with a simple creed:

* The Witwicky Family motto in the first ''Film/{{Transformers}}'' film.

* ''Film/GhostRider:''

* In ''WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph'', the pledge of Bad Guys Anonymous:

** And the chorus and tag of the song from the 2007 film:

* ''Film/TheAddamsFamily'' pseudo-Latin motto "[[PretentiousLatinMotto Sic gorgiamus allos subjectatos nunc]]" supposedly translates into [[ImAHumanitarian "We gladly feast on those who would subdue us"]]. Doubles as BrickJoke when in the second movie two school camp counselors try to subdue Wednesday and Pugsley and are last seen being cooked by Wednesday's accomplices.

Through power, I gain victory.\\

The Force shall free me.

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

--> "I am the master of Liu Sang School of martial arts. Now, I make a sincere wish. Hope all the Gods and Evils listen to me. From now on, I will rule over the whole world of martial arts. And I will devote myself to my beloved country. Until our country conquer China. If anyone wants to stop me, I will terminate it with no mercy. I will keep my promise."

* Leon Montana from ''Film/TheProfessional'' succinctly sums up his CodeOfHonor and modus operandi:

-->''Call when you've need of me.\\

-->''Inside the Table's circle,\\

-->''A Knight is sworn to Valour.\\

-->''The Right can never die\\

--> There was an idea: to bring together a group of remarkable people. To see if they could become something more. To see if they could work together when we needed them, to fight the battles that we never could.

-->''Maidens of St Trinian's, gird your armour on.\\

-->''We are the best\\

-->[[TheStoic There is no emotion, there is peace.]]
-->There is no ignorance, there is knowledge.
-->There is no passion, there is serenity.
-->There is no chaos, there is harmony.
-->There is no death, there is the Force.

-->Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
-->Through passion, I gain strength.
-->Through strength, I gain power.
-->Through power, I gain victory.
-->Through victory, my chains are broken.
-->The Force shall free me.

-->Jedi are the guardians of peace in the galaxy.
-->Jedi use their powers to defend and to protect.
-->Jedi respect all life, in any form.
-->Jedi serve others rather than ruling over them, for the good of the galaxy.
-->Jedi seek to improve themselves through knowledge and training.

-->The crystal is the heart of the blade.
-->The heart is the crystal of the Jedi.
-->The Jedi is the crystal of the Force.
-->The Force is the blade of the heart.
-->All are intertwined.
-->The crystal, the blade, the Jedi.
-->We are one.

-->We, the Rebel Alliance, do therefore in the name--and by the authority--of the free beings of the Galaxy, solemnly publish and declare our intentions:
--->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.
-->To these ends, we pledge our property, our honor, and our lives.

--> '''[[spoiler: Rocco]]:''' ''Men do not cry. Men do not pout. Men check you on the fucking jaw, AND SAY...''
--> '''[[spoiler: Det. Greenly]]:''' Thanks for coming out! *whack!*

* In ''HolyWeapon'', [[BigBad Super Sword]] cites one at the beginning of the climax:

--> "No sacrifice, no victory".

--> "There are things that go bump in the night. We're the ones who bump back."

** There’s also Nick Fury’s description of the team, appearing first in ''Film/AvengersAssemble'' and later, in a slightly modified and shortened form, in the trailer for ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'':

* ''Film/ShortCircuit'' has a more humorous one:

* ''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. His character's race in the show apparently took vengeance seriously. The film's ersatz Federation's motto is "Never give up! Never surrender!", which is also intentionally cheesy.

* In ''Disney/WreckItRalph'', the pledge of Bad Guys Anonymous:

* In ''{{Disney/Mulan}}'', the chorus of "I'll Make A Man Out Of You" is a creed.

** There’s also Nick Fury’s description of the team, appearing first in ''Film/Avengers'' and later, in a slightly modified and shortened form, in the trailer for ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'':

** There’s also Nick Fury’s description of the team, appearing first in ''Film/Avengers2012'' and later, in a slightly modified and shortened form, in the trailer for ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'':

The Witwicky Family motto in the first ''Film/{{Transformers}}'' film.

* "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."

* ''Film/PacificRim'': "At the edge of our hope, at the end of our time, we have chosen not only to believe in ourselves, but in each other. Today there is not a man nor woman in here that shall stand alone. Not today. Today we face the monsters that are at our door and bring the fight to them! Today, we are cancelling the apocalypse!"

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