It's not technically a "movie", but the best punchline for me is from Batman, Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths: "There is a difference between you and me. We both looked into the abyss. But when it looked back at us... you blinked."
While everyone talked about Doc from Tombstone, Kurt Russell did have some of the best lines. Everything he said when facing the loudmouth in the bar could have been on this list. "are you going to do something, or just stand there and bleed?"
@@andynieuwenhuis7833 it means pull your pistol. Smoke wagon was old west slang for the 1873 Colt single action army revolver or "the gun that won the west".
Braveheart had the best lines. “And dying in your beds, many years from now...would you be willin’ to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance...just ONE chance...to come back here and tell our enemies, that they may take our lives, but they’ll never take… OUR FREEDOM!” Great stuff. "The Lord tells me I'll be ok. But He's pretty sure you're fooked. ARHAHAHA!"

Got almost all of them.
They TOTALLY missed Nicolas Cage's response to Sean Connery in The Rock. Connery: "Losers go home and whine. Winners f*ck the prom queen." -- Cage: "Carla WAS the prom queen."
Oh, I totally forgot the greatest line ever. Kurt Russell, TOMBSTONE: "You tell 'em I'm comin', and Hell's comin' with me. You hear, HELL'S COMIN' WITH ME!"
It may not be an action movie really but I used this one in some of the games I play: "You are an imperfect being, created by an imperfect being. Finding your weakness is only a matter of time."
There were a good number that shouldn't have made this list. But there is one that is notable by its exclusion; "Whot we've got heah...is failure...to communicate."
When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, looks you crooked in the eye, and asks you if you paid your dues; you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that: "Have you paid your dues, Jack? Yes, sir, the check is in the mail."
Khan was quoting Ahab when he was on the back of Moby Dick and stabbing him with a spear before he died. In Lethal Weapon 2 there is another brilliant line after the SA diplomat has been killed and Danny Glover isasked what happened to him, he replies, "He's been decaffeinated."
Not a bad one, but I always liked: Billy the Kid: Hey, Peppin. I see you got Charley Crawford down there with you. Sheriff Peppin: Yeah, that's right, Bonney. We got a whole... (Billy shoots Charley) Billy the Kid: Hey, Peppin. Charley Crawford's not with you anymore Was funny then and is still funny today...
Rouge one had his best. When he boarded the Rebel ship at the end before he killed them. The sound of his breathing is all you need to hear to know your fucked. ^^
"Your worst nightmare" ---Rambo 3 "I'm getting too old for this shit" ---Lethal Weapon "Surf's up" & "Nailed them both" ---Lethal Weapon 2 "If you're going to shoot, shoot. Don't talk." ----The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly "He had to split" ---The Running Man "Rest in pieces!" & "I now pronounce you man and knife" ---Expendables 2 "I'm Batman!" ---Batman (1989) "Don't call me Junior!" ---Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade "Keep the change, you filthy animal" ---Home Alone
Outside of this video "In 30 seconds, you'll be dead, and I'll blow this place up and be home in time for Corn Flakes" - Total Recall, is probably the most hilarious action movie quote, but possibly my favourite, because it happens towards the end and really epitomises the whole movie.
They missed two of the best: “Sit yo 5 dollar ass down fo’ I make change!” And “Whatever you’re reaching for better be a sandwich, cuz I’m gonna make you eat it!”
0:44 - Someone doesn't know their classic literature. That quote isn't just some random action movie line. That's a direct quote from Herman Melville's _Moby Dick._
Within this video, I have to give that title to 5:29 1:12 is weak and senseless but at least I can recognize it as a threat. Outside of this vid I will always remember Halle Berry's "What happens to toads that are struck by lightning"-line from the first X-Men as utterly anticlimactic
+Headbiter ~ The problem with Storm's line there is that they edited out the context. Several "You know what happens to...?" lines spoken by Toad were filmed that would have made Storm's line make much more sense, but they were entirely cut from the movie.
I just wanna know what was up with Bruce Willis and "Reindeer goat cheese pizza" in the 90's? I swear I heard him say it in like 3-4 movies (including Last Boyscout and Hudson Hawk).
dude, i grew up with his movies in the 80's and continued to enjoy much of them into the 90's when i was actually old enough to see his movies without my mom coming along. arnold's a huge portion of where i learned pop culture back then. arnold's always been known as the "action movie one liner king".
