all very good, but no one and I mean no one beats the almighty Bruce Campbell as Ash in Evil Dead:
after strapping a chainsaw to the stump where his hand was :'Groovy'
waving a shotgun around a crowd of medeval types: 'this is my BOOMSTICK!'
Although: 'he's not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy' from The Life of Brian comes damned close
got to be donald sutherland as a 1945 hippy in the excellent WW2 film Kelly's Heroes. In the middle of a war torn French village with shells exploding gun fire etc. the tank driver Oddball (Sutherland) is found by his commander, kelly, with his feet up by his broken tank. when asked what he is doing, he gives the immortal reply
'drinking wine eating cheese and catching some rays.'
when kellly proceeds to give him a b0ll0cking.
he replies: 'negative vibes man, don't give me those negative vibes'
pure class!
from the shining where the wife has just discovered her husband (Jack Nicholson) has been typing the same verse for weeks and weeks, slowing going mad. She's walking backwards up the stairs with a baseball bat ready to defend herself against him, he's following her up with a mad grin saying:
"Im not gonna hurt-ya Wendy!.........Nooo, Im just gonna bash ya f*****g brains in!"
A few more for you.
From Zulu, they're waiting for the attack, and can hear the Zulus approaching but can't see them. The young private is about to lose his bladder contents and asks the Colour Sergeant "Why us? Why does it have to be us?" The Sergeant replies "Cos we're 'ere lad. Nobody else. Just us"
From Ghosbusters 2. Sigourney Weaver meets up with Harold Ramis and Dan Akroyd a few years after the original, and asks how Peter Venckman is (Bill Murray). Ramis says "He was borderline for a while........then he crossed the border".
Another Groucho Marx one, from A Night at the Opera. Introducing the opera to the audience "Tonight the strains of Verdi will come back to us.........amd Mrs Claypool's cheque will come back in the morning".
I forgot abut this one. In the Magnificent Seven, Yul Brynner and Steve McQueen are driving the hearse up to boot hill. One of the locals takes a pot shot at them. The bullet misses, but clips Brynner's cigar. McQueen asks "You elected?", to which Brynner replies "Nope, but I got nominated real good".
Another Crocodile Dundee one. When he saves the girl from the croc, she hugs him, then looks back at the dead beast and asks "Is it dead". Mick replies "If he ain't I'm gonna have a hard time skinning the b....rd". For some reason, whenever the film is shown on TV Mick's comment is always dubbed over as "Yeah". Very strange when you think about everything else that gets through uncut.
One of my favourite lines was from Back to the future when Christopher LLoyd's character (the doc) - says to Michael J Fox's character (Marty) - "Alright future boy tell me who is the president of the united states in 1985?" and Marty says "Ronald Reagan" and the doc says "the actor and who's the vice president? - Jerry Lewis!"
Chocclare thinks she found the worst line but the absolute worst I have ever heard was not just a line but a spiel about a girls reason for hating christmas - it was in gremlins and to this day I have no idea if this was meant to be hysterically funny - or if it was meant to be serious and was unintentionally the funniest thing in the film - my mum and me were lying rolling on the floor laughing.
The girl says she hates christmas - and explains that when she was nine her dad disappeared on christmas eve - a few days then weeks went by and they noticed a bad smell coming from the fire and got the firebrigade or somebody in to investigate and they broke through the chimney - she then says in a hysterical crying sobbing voice that should have won her an oscar for overacting - that "we expected them to pull out a dead cat or a bird but instead they pulled out my father - he was dressed in a santa claus suit and his arms were full of presents he had been surprising us and he had climbed down the chimney and slipped and broke his neck - and that's why I hate christmas!!!" sob sob sob sob - oh no ha ha ha ha ha ha
