| 1 | * ''BondOneLiner/JamesBond'' has its own page. |
| 2 | ---- |
| 3 | * Almost every Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger movie has him doing a one-liner of this kind. It's probably easier to list the ones where he ''doesn't'' do this: ''Film/ConanTheBarbarian1982'' (which he takes kinda seriously), ''Film/TheTerminator'' (because he barely has any lines), and ''Film/{{Junior}}'' (which revels in him PlayingAgainstType). But here goes anyway: |
| 4 | ** From ''Film/TotalRecall1990'': |
| 5 | *** Quaid dispatches Richter with a LiteralDisarming and throws him an IronicEcho as he falls off the elevator: |
| 6 | ---->'''Quaid:''' See you at the party, Richter! |
| 7 | *** Quaid confronts his wife, who tries to distract him while she tries to kill him: |
| 8 | ---->'''Lori:''' Sweetheart, [[YouWouldntShootMe be reasonable]]. After all, we're married. ''[reaches for gun, but Quaid [[BoomHeadshot shoots her first in the head]]]''\ |
| 9 | '''Quaid:''' Consider that a divorce. |
| 10 | ** From ''Film/Commando1985'': |
| 11 | *** Matrix impales Bennett with a pipe against a boiler, which starts leaking steam through the pipe: |
| 12 | ---->'''Matrix:''' Let off some steam, Bennett. |
| 13 | *** Matrix drops Sully off a cliff and then is asked what he did to him: |
| 14 | ---->'''Matrix:''' I let him go. |
| 15 | *** Matrix kills the guy next to him on a plane and [[OfCorpseHesAlive dresses him as if he's asleep]], going out of his way to tell the flight attendant: |
| 16 | ---->'''Matrix:''' Thank you. And do me a favor: Don't disturb my friend. He's dead tired. |
| 17 | *** General Kirby arrives at the base, but [[TheCavalryArrivesLate Matrix has already dealt with everybody]]: |
| 18 | ---->'''Kirby:''' Leave anything for us?\ |
| 19 | '''Matrix:''' Just bodies. |
| 20 | ** From ''Film/{{Eraser}}'': |
| 21 | *** Kruger shoots [[NeverSmileAtACrocodile an escaped alligator]] who attacks him: |
| 22 | ---->'''Kruger:''' You're luggage. |
| 23 | *** At the end, Kruger [[spoiler:parks the {{Corrupt Corporate Executive}}s' limo]] on a set of train tracks, and a train blasts right through it: |
| 24 | ---->'''Kruger:''' They caught a train. |
| 25 | ** In ''Film/{{Predator}}'', Dutch impales a man by [[ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks throwing a machete at him]]: |
| 26 | --->'''Dutch:''' Stick around! |
| 27 | ** In ''Film/TrueLies'', Harry dispatches a {{mook|s}} by smashing his head into a urinal and giving him a swirly: |
| 28 | --->'''Harry:''' Here, cool off. |
| 29 | ** ''Film/TheRunningMan'' seems to be designed for this: |
| 30 | *** Richards cuts [[spoiler:Buzzsaw]] in half: |
| 31 | ---->'''Amber:''' What happened to [[spoiler:Buzzsaw]]?\ |
| 32 | '''Richards:''' Uh. He had to split. |
| 33 | *** Richards dispatches [[spoiler:Fireball]] by throwing a road flare at him: |
| 34 | ---->'''Richards:''' What a hothead. |
| 35 | *** Richards strangles Sub-Zero: |
| 36 | ---->'''Richards:''' He was a pain in the neck. |
| 37 | *** Richards later announces Sub-Zero's fate to the audience: |
| 38 | ---->'''Richards:''' Here's Sub-Zero, now ''plain'' zero! |
| 39 | *** Richards signs a contract on a man's back, only to stab him instead: |
| 40 | ---->'''Richards:''' Don't forget to send me a copy. |
| 41 | *** Richards sends Killian crashing into a soda billboard: |
| 42 | ---->'''Richards:''' Well, that hit the spot. |
| 43 | ** ''Film/LastActionHero'', being a parody of your typical action movie with Arnold playing himself (or rather an action hero [[MindScrew played by him]]), naturally turns the Bond One-Liner into an art form: |
| 44 | *** Slater shoots a bad guy who was chasing him in an ice cream truck: |
| 45 | ---->'''Slater:''' Iced that guy... to cone a phrase. |
| 46 | *** Benedict gets in on the action when he enters the real world and realizes how easy it is to kill people there: |
| 47 | ---->'''Benedict:''' Hello! I just shot somebody and I did it on purpose! |
| 48 | ** In ''Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay'': |
| 49 | *** Arnold has to fudge it a bit because the T-800 had [[ThouShaltNotKill sworn not to kill]], so he gives the one-liner after KneeCapping a guard: |
| 50 | ---->'''T-800:''' He'll live. |
| 51 | *** When the T-800 finally dispatches the T-1000, John Connor tries to confirm the termination via this exchange: |
| 52 | ---->'''John Connor:''' Is it dead?\ |
| 53 | '''T-800:''' Terminated. |
| 54 | ** In ''Film/The6thDay'', Adam knocks out Drucker and his clone so that they land on top of each other: |
| 55 | --->'''Adam:''' When I said you should screw yourself, I didn't mean for you to take it [[ScrewYourself literally]]. |
| 56 | ** In ''Film/TheLastStand'', Owens introduces himself: |
| 57 | --->'''{{Mook|s}}:''' Who the hell are you?\ |
| 58 | '''Owens:''' ''[[[BoomHeadshot shoots the mook by the head]]]'' I'm the sheriff. |
| 59 | ** He even does it in ''Film/JingleAllTheWay'', although he's not nearly as badass and uses it on a reindeer he just punched out: |
| 60 | --->'''Howard:''' You started it. |
| 61 | ** Sometimes Arnold will hand off the honor to one of his co-stars, typically in his comedies: |
| 62 | *** In ''Film/KindergartenCop'', it's Kimble's partner O'Hara who gets the honor when she extracts revenge on Crisp's mother, who tried to [[CarFu run her over with her car]]: |
| 63 | ---->'''O'Hara:''' You're not so tough without your car, are you? |
| 64 | *** In ''Film/Twins1988'', it's Creator/DannyDeVito's character Vincent who gets the line, after the villain winds up buried under a [[OverlyLongGag continuous pile of chains]]: |
| 65 | ---->'''Vincent:''' Now there's a guy with a lot on his mind. |
| 66 | ** Arnold even did it in RealLife -- when he was running for governor of California in 2003, someone [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zw97LIBGbR4 threw an egg at him]]. He nonchalantly takes his jacket off and responds: |
| 67 | --->'''Arnold:''' Well, this guy owes me bacon now. |
| 68 | |
| 69 | * ''Film/TheAddamsFamily'': An ambiguous one at the movie's climax. [[spoiler:As the villains Craven and Tully are thrown out of the Addams Family's manor by a hurricane, they lands in the graveyard, straight into a pair of coffins ready for them, which close up and drop down their tombs. Then the camera moves up to reveal Pugsley and Wednesday holding shovels, ready to complete the burial.]] |
| 70 | -->'''Pugsley:''' Are they dead?\ |
| 71 | '''Wednesday:''' Does it matter? |
| 72 | * In ''Film/AmericanGangster'', after Frank basically executes a rival who had demanded 20% of his business, he takes his money and puts a few bills in a jar next to the dead body. |
| 73 | -->'''Frank:''' There you go. Twenty percent. |
| 74 | * ''Film/ArmyOfFrankensteins'': During the fight between Alan and [[HistoricalDomainCharacter John Wilkes Booth]]: |
| 75 | -->'''Alan:''' You're an actor, right?\ |
| 76 | '''Booth:''' Yes.\ |
| 77 | '''Alan:''' Then break a leg! ''[kicks Booth in the knee]'' |
| 78 | * ''Film/AustinPowers'', being a ''James Bond'' parody, naturally has Austin throwing off one-liners. But Austin not only uses lame puns, he uses [[HurricaneOfPuns one after the other in quick succession]], until he's told to stop and admits he sometimes goes a little too far. |
| 79 | -->''[after a henchman has had his head eaten by ill-tempered sea bass]''\ |
| 80 | '''Austin:''' Not a good time to lose one's head!\ |
| 81 | '''Vanessa:''' Indeed!\ |
| 82 | '''Austin:''' That's not the way to get ahead in life.\ |
| 83 | '''Vanessa:''' No.\ |
| 84 | '''Austin:''' It's a shame he wasn't more headstrong!\ |
| 85 | '''Vanessa:''' ''[nods, losing patience]''\ |
| 86 | '''Austin:''' He'll never be the head of a major corporation.\ |
| 87 | '''Vanessa:''' OK, that'll do. |
| 88 | * ''Film/BloodPi'': A villainous example, when [[AxCrazy Amber]] kills [[spoiler:the guy who raped Agnis]], she delivers this line. |
| 89 | -->'''Amber:''' Call ya later, babe. |
| 90 | * ''Film/CappsCrossing'': David gives one after [[spoiler:driving his knife into Kyle's [[EyeScream eye]]]]. |
| 91 | -->'''David:''' [[spoiler:Damn, dude. You got something in your eye. (removes knife) Thanks. Can you see now?]] |
| 92 | * ''Film/TheFugitive'': Richard Kimble encounters Frederick Sykes, the one-armed man that actually murdered Kimble's wife, aboard an elevated train in Chicago. Sykes says "This is my stop" just before a transit cop tries to intervene. Sykes shoots the cop and Kimble attacks. After Kimble subdues Sykes, and after checking the vitals of the cop, he takes the cop's handcuffs and cuffs Sykes' remaining hand to a pole, saying to Sykes "Missed your stop!" before fleeing. |
| 93 | * ''Film/TheFunhouseMassacre'': After getting into a fight with [[DepravedDentist Bradford "Dr. Suave" Young]] and defeating him, Laurie gives us this line. |
| 94 | -->'''Laurie:''' I always hated going to the dentist. |
| 95 | * ''Film/GalaxyQuest'': After teleporting a rock monster to the ship that starts tearing through Sarris's {{Mooks}}, Fred Kwan and Guy are watching contentedly from a safe place. |
| 96 | -->'''Fred Kwan:''' It's the simple things in life you treasure. |
| 97 | * ''Film/Ghostbusters1984'' has a non-lethal variant (kinda, he was dead to begin with) when the eponymous Ghostbusters capture the ghost and announce their prowess to the public: |
| 98 | -->'''Venkman:''' We came, we saw, we kicked its ''ass''! |
| 99 | * ''Film/HotFuzz'', being a spoof of the [[BuddyCopShow buddy cop movie]], would lampshade movie-cops' tendency to do this: |
| 100 | ** Nicholas dispatches of Lurch in a supermarket freezer, and Danny laments a lost opportunity: |
| 101 | --->'''Danny:''' How's Lurch?\ |
| 102 | '''Nicholas:''' He's in the freezer.\ |
| 103 | '''Danny:''' Did you say, "Cool off!"?\ |
| 104 | '''Nicholas:''' Er, no, I didn't say anything, actually.\ |
| 105 | '''Danny:''' [[ConversationalTroping Shame.]]\ |
| 106 | '''Nicholas:''' There was a bit earlier on that you missed when I distracted him with the cuddly monkey. And then I said, "Playtime's over!", then I hit him with the peace lily.\ |
| 107 | '''Danny:''' You're off the fucking chain! ''[cocks shotgun]'' |
| 108 | ** At the end, when the heroes watch the villain [[VillainExitStageLeft escape in his car]] but [[spoiler:crash into a tree less than 100 yards away]] thanks to [[spoiler:judicious use of swan]], they let another opportunity pass: |
| 109 | --->'''Nicholas:''' I feel like I should say something smart.\ |
| 110 | '''Danny:''' You don't have to say anything at all. |
| 111 | ** As a meta-example, Creator/SimonPegg admits in the DVDCommentary that his ''Series/{{Spaced}}'' co-star Creator/JessicaStevenson pointed out an even cooler one-liner that he could have used in the scene where Nicholas dispatches Lurch: "Rest in peas." |
| 112 | * ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade'': |
| 113 | ** Indy's dad Henry Sr. (appropriately played by Creator/SeanConnery, the original Franchise/JamesBond) takes down a Nazi fighter plane by startling a bunch of birds [[ParasolOfPain with his umbrella]]: |
| 114 | --->'''Henry:''' I suddenly remembered my UsefulNotes/{{Charlemagne}}: "Let my armies be the rocks and the trees, and the birds in the sky." |
| 115 | ** When Henry squirts a Nazi with ink from his pen, causing him to fall and knock himself out, Marcus Brody delivers one on his behalf. |
| 116 | --->'''Marcus:''' Henry! The pen is mightier than the sword! |
| 117 | ** Indy and his dad are trying to escape by zeppelin when a Nazi officer starts questioning the passengers. Indy, disguised as a steward asking for tickets, [[DestinationDefenestration tosses him out the window]], then suddenly has to explain himself to the shocked passengers: |
| 118 | --->'''Indy:''' No ticket. ''[passengers frantically start waving their tickets at Indy]'' |
| 119 | ** [[spoiler:Donovan]] drinks from the fake Grail and [[RapidAging instantly ages into a skeletal corpse]]: |

| 121 | * ''Film/InLikeFlint'': Flint knocks a {{mook|s}} onto a ConveyorBeltODoom that sends the unlucky bastard into a white-hot document disintegrator, and his boss, after watching him go up in flames, quips to the men beside him, "Let's pay our respects." |
| 122 | * ''Film/JonahHex2010'': |
| 123 | ** Anyone unwise enough to taunt Jonah by asking how he got his FacialHorror gets a bullet, followed by the appropriate BondOneLiner (i.e. "Same way you got yours.") but halfway through the movie Jonah admits he's run out of wiseass responses. |
| 124 | ** A thug in a bar tries [[TooDumbToLive taunting Jonah]] about his notorious FacialHorror. |
| 125 | -->'''Thug:''' Hey Jonah, what happened to your face--''([[KilledMidSentence Jonah blows his head off]])''\ |
| 126 | '''Jonah:''' Cut mine shaving, what you do to yours? |
| 127 | *** Averted later in the movie when Jonah kills another man for doing this, only to admit he's run out of wiseass comebacks. |
| 128 | * Three in one fight in ''Film/TheLeagueOfExtraordinaryGentlemen'' by none other than the [[Creator/SeanConnery original]]. |
| 129 | -->'''Allan Quatermain:''' ''[shoots a mook in the face after the mook murders his impersonator]'' Wrong Quatermain!\ |
| 130 | '''Allan Quatermain:''' ''[smashes a mook in the face with a whiskey bottle, then glances at the label]'' Wicked waste.\ |
| 131 | '''Allan Quatermain:''' ''[impales a mook on a mounted rhino horn, then a [[UsefulNotes/TheBritishEmpire Union Jack flag]] hanging over it falls down and drapes over him]'' "ule, Britannia. |
| 132 | * From the ''Film/LethalWeapon'' series: |
| 133 | ** Played with in ''Film/LethalWeapon2'', when Murtaugh is attacked in his home by an assassin and dispatches him with a nail gun -- but he doesn't say anything. Then ''another'' assassin shows up, Murtaugh dispatches him similarly, and then he quips: |
| 134 | --->'''Murtaugh:''' Nailed 'em both. |
| 135 | ** At the end of ''Lethal Weapon 2'', when the BigBad is shooting at him: |
| 136 | --->'''Arjan Rudd:''' ''[wielding his credentials]'' [[DiplomaticImpunity Diplomatic immunity]]!\ |

| 145 | * ''Film/MenInBlack'': |
| 146 | ** Searching for the Arquilians, a disguised Edgar the Bug pretends to be new waitstaff at a Russian diner and takes two orders of pirogis from the counter. When the chef asks where the normal server Ivan is, Edgar replies that he "gave him a break". The chef seems to buy it and Edgar leaves with the plates, with the camera pulling back to reveal that poor Ivan got folded up in half and his body stuffed into the shelves underneath the counter. |
| 147 | ** Near the end of the movie, after [[spoiler:Edgar makes one last desperation attack to kill Agents Jay and Kay after his plan for intergalactic war is thwarted while the latter two are recovering, Edgar gets blown up from behind the two agents.

| 159 | -->'''Shaggy:''' This is, like, the greatest day of our lives, Scoob! Finally, a monster we can sink our teeth into! |
| 160 | * ''Film/ShootEmUp'', which revolves almost entirely around gun battles, has its fair share of Bond One-Liners; in fact, one can say that two-thirds of Smith's lines are of this variety, as he mutters about things he doesn't like. |
| 161 | ** Smith impales a {{mook|s}} through the mouth [[EdibleBludgeon with a carrot]] and offers the following advice: |
| 162 | --->'''Smith:''' Eat your vegetables. |

| 170 | --->'''Jack:''' He lost his head. |
| 171 | * In ''Film/SpeedRacer'', when Pops takes down a ninja: |
| 172 | -->'''Trixie:''' Oh my God, was that a ninja?\ |

| 174 | * Creator/StevenSeagal, in true ActionHero fashion. |

| 188 | --->'''Brother Gilbert:''' Turn the other cheek, brother. |
| 189 | * Of the ''Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'', Michelangelo is most likely to use this, to the [[LamePunReaction occasional dismay of his teammates]]. |
| 190 | ** In ''WesternAnimation/{{TMNT}}'', when a character takes a fall: |
| 191 | --->'''April:''' Winters?\ |
| 192 | '''Michelangelo:''' Looks more like fall. Get it?\ |
| 193 | '''Leonardo:''' Mikey, remember our talk? |
| 194 | ** In the first live-action ''Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1990'', Michelangelo and Donatello crush a Foot Ninja between their shells, and Michelangelo tries to come up with a good one-liner: |
| 195 | --->'''Michelangelo:''' Donnie, looks like this one's suffering from ''shell shock''.\ |
| 196 | '''Donatello:''' Too derivative.\ |
| 197 | '''Michelangelo:''' Boy, I guess we can really ''shell it out''.\ |
| 198 | '''Donatello:''' Too cliché.\ |
| 199 | '''Michelangelo:''' Well, it was a ''shell'' of a good hit!\ |
| 200 | '''Donatello:''' ...I like it! |
| 201 | * In ''Film/HudsonHawk'': |

When the Orcs are complaining about not having eaten meat in days, one of them tries to grab Merry and Pippin (who, per Saruman's orders, are not to be harmed). Ugluk decapitates the disobedient Orc, then grins. |
| 209 | -->'''Ugluk:''' Looks like [[MonstrousCannibalism meat's back on the menu, boys!]] ''[all the Orcs cheer and then begin tearing the corpse to shreds]'' |
| 210 | * ''Film/{{Dogma}}'' naturally parodied the phenomenon. |
| 211 | ** Bartleby and Loki are intimidating a group of {{Corrupt Corporate Executive}}s, and one of them reaches for the phone to call security. Loki impales the phone with a switchblade: |
| 212 | --->'''Loki:''' ''[heavily]'' All lines... are currently down.\ |

| 214 | '''Loki:''' Oh, come on! That was great! |
