Worst Movie Lines Ever

Sassee · May 13, 2008

You know 'em... they make you roll your eyes, or throw popcorn at the screen, or even - gasp! - turn the movie off or walk out of the theatre.

So, what's the worst movie line you've *ever* heard?

This one ranks pretty close to the top for me. It's from Once Upon A Time In Mexico. Recognize it?

"Are you a Mexican, or a Mexi-can't?"

Come on, srsly. I love Johnny Depp, but... gah! Horrible one-liner.

So what's your least favorite line?

"The fourth dimension is collapsing opon you! YOU DUMB BITCH!" <punch>

Seriously, Dwain...what...what the hell does that mean!?!

Flash, I love you, but we only have twenty four hours to save the Earth!

"I'll be back" *Arnold accent*.

I wouldn't hate it so much if my boyfriend didn't insist on saying it *every time* he gets off the couch.

"Now to make my escape."

- spoken by General Grievous in Star Wars III as he entered the escape pod

"If I know Van Helsing... and I do..."

ETA

Holla out to my video game peeps: "You, Jill, the master of unlocking..."

Sarpedon · May 13, 2008

"Sunlight is composed of many atoms."

Plan 9 From outer space. Spoken by a character named 'Eros' for some reason.

DWSTXS · May 13, 2008

Life is like a box of chocolates..."
I hate that line and that movie.

Not to mention the fact that for a couple years after that, complete and perfect morons would walk around saying it every chance they got, as if they'd come up with it on their own and just uttered it for the 1st time. Dumbasses.

"You had me at hello."

They lost me long before that.

Bubastes · May 13, 2008

The biggest clunker of all time for me:

"Hold me like you did by the lake on Naboo, so long ago when there was nothing but our love."

Cringe! Tin ear for dialogue, I tell ya.

I just had a mini-rant about that line in another thread.

Also, Vader's big "NOOOOOO!" scream at the end of Revenge of the Sith. Not only was it corny, but it's so easy to do better.

All you have to do is place Anakin on the table and have him being told that Padme is dead before the helmet goes on. He then screams (in a regular voice as opposed to the robotic voice that's impossible to take seriously during a dramatic scream) as the helmet descends over his head. The last of his humanity cries out in anguish as he becomes more machine now than man...twisted and evil. COME ON! I realized that IN THE THEATER as I'm watching the movie. Come on George! Seriously!

Also, the closing line in The Mothman Prophecies always bugged the hell out of me. I won't say it here as it's a spoiler, but it's such overkill. We all got what was going on, we didn't need the extra forced line to drive it home. Bosh moi!

Star Wars III. I think you'd need to go through about 50 quotes from the Star Wars prequels to get to the next worst line in movie history.

"I think our lives are about to be destroyed anyway. I truly... deeply... love you and before we die I want you to know."
-- Star Wars II: ACKBAD.

We could dedicate an entire thread to horrible lines from those prequels. Just...ugh.

A line that makes me cringe every time I hear it is from X-Men, at the end right before Storm blasts Toad. She says, "Do you know what happens to a toad when it's struck by lightning? ((Cool line, if she'd blasted him right then, but she goes on)) The same thing that happens to everything else."

Urk.

And I know Dungeons & Dragons isn't a cinematic achievement by any stretch, but I found it entertaining. Except for a few clunker lines, led valiantly by Ridley's "Nooooooo!" of anguish (SPOILER) when Snails is killed. Makes me want to kill the director for letting him overact like that, when his emotion was sorely needed by Thora Birch in her one-note performance.

I have seen a security hologram... of him... killing Younglings.

He said... you turned to the Dark Side. That you... killed Younglings!

Darth Sidious: Lord Vader... can you hear me?
Darth Vader: Yes, Master.
Darth Vader:Where is Padme? Is she safe? Is she all right?
Darth Sidious: It seems in your anger, you killed her.
Darth Vader: I...? I couldn't have! She was alive; I felt it!
Darth Vader: Nooooooooooooooooooo!

Padme: Hold me, like you did by the lake on Naboo; so long ago when there was nothing but our love.

Anakin Skywalker: You are so... beautiful.
Padmé: It's only because I'm so in love.
Anakin Skywalker: No, it's because I'm so in love with you.
Padmé: So love has blinded you?
Anakin Skywalker: Well, that's not exactly what I meant.
Padmé: But it's probably true.

Couldn't resist. But the best worst line of all time remains--

Leprechaun: You only got away because me powers are weak! I NEED ME GOLD!

"You are....*pause* TERMINATED!"

--Terminator 3 Rise of the Machines

You know what bothered me most about T3... it never seemed to choose whether it wanted to be an homage to the previous films or not indulge in such things. So instead it gave you parts like you quoted above, that just end up being bad dialogue and/or incomplete references to previous moments.

I remember watching that scene thinking, "It would be cheesy but ultimately gratifying--at least for a fanboy like me--if Arnold says 'You're terminated fucker!' and then lets the giant metal door come down to crush them both similar to the finale of the 1st movie."

I mean, why present that setup and have that moment sitting right there if you're not going to go all the way? T3 was full of such moments. It's already going to look corny, so you might as well just go there...

I was going to say it would be weird to hear a Terminator say "fucker", but I guess he DID say "Fuck you, asshole" to that guy in the motel in the first one. lol

They'd have to set up for that one, though. He'd have to learn that word from someone. But it would be funny as hell to see him say something like that.

Ha. Yeah, it would be corny as all hell, but if you're going to be corny anyway, you might as well give the die-hard fans something to geek out over...

Only 20 responses? There's gotta be more bad one-liners out there...

Siddow · May 14, 2008

"She rescues him right back."

From the end of Pretty Woman. Makes me want to be Jason Alexander, punching her in the face.

donroc · May 14, 2008

In too too many films after one of the characters is wounded, battered, bloodied: "Are you okay?"

Vandal · May 14, 2008

From The Three Amigos:

Dusty Bottoms: What is it doing here?
Ned Niederlander: I think it's a mail plane.
Dusty Bottoms: How can you tell?
Ned Niederlander: Didn't you notice its little balls?
