Worst/ Stupidest Single Line in a Film

[Big Pudge]

what is the stupidest or corniest or just all out bad line that u have heard in any movie??

for me it is a movie i havnt seen yet, (because it comes out this friday) its from EMPIRE (w/ John Lequizamo who i really enjoy) and it is when the dude says "Go Back To Your Ghetto"!!! i can only hope the rest of the writing in this flick aint as lame and corny as that!!

Godzilla '98- "Can I make you a cup of tea?"

I don't know whether to laugh or to vomit.

[BadCoverVersion]

"I hate to disappoint you but my rubber lips are immune to your charms..." - Robin (Batman & Robin)

Sweet Jesus...That was a cracker!

"I'll tell you in another life, when we are both cats!" - Sofia (Vanilla Sky)

Pretentious shite...Whoever came up with that one needs a good kicking!

[Jason Voorhees]

Sorry, but "I don't like sand; it's coarse and rough," from AOTC is my choice.

[Ender]

Hmmm, now here's a topic that requires some serious thought...

Those of you who have seen FAUST (I pray for you all daily, BTW) no doubt remember that hideous scene on the subway (which fit right in with all of the other hideous scenes showcased in that movie), which was capped off by quite possibly the worst delivery of the worst written line of all time: "SHIT! ...we've lost the girl!"

[daredevil0214]

"who are you?"
"you know who i am"
"i do?"
"im your friendly neighborhood spider-man"

i want to vomit right now, just thinking about it.

BARF.

"I think World War 2 just started".

Pearl Harbour.

9th of December 1941.

2 years after WW2 started when Hitler invaded Poland on the 19th of September 1939.

$300000 - Randall Wallaces fee for writing the "script"

[Grebdron]

Okay, granted it's not really one-line, but my first choice comes from the god-awful Broken Arrow, directed by the god-awful John Woo, and delivered by two of the most god-awful "thespians" of our time: the god-awful John Travolta, and the god-awful Christian Slater.

Riley Hale: You're out of your mind.
Vic Deakins: Yeah. Ain't it cool?
Riley Hale: I'm serious, Deak, your mind has taken a walk off the map.
Vic Deakins: Maybe. But I'm still gonna kick your ass.


God, they're awful.

Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones:

I don't like sand, it's rough and coarse, not like you; you're soft.

Or something like that. It was just retarded.

[QUENTIN]

I'm sure I've heard worse, but the recent one that immedeately springs to mind is from X-Men and goes as follows:

STORM:
Do you know what happens to a frog when it gets struck by lightning? The same thing that happens to everything else.

God, it made me drop the film a half point to an even 5, it is such a stupid and awful line delivered simply terribly...Sticks out like a sore thumb...

I agree with Quentin. That was pathetic.

[Tom Samborski]

A lot of them come from Halle Berry in Die Another Day:


"At least we'll die rich"
"That's quite a mouthful"
"Looks like we're going down together"
"When will you take it out ?"

[A.J. Hakari]

The most hideously-delivered line I've ever heard in a film comes from Larry Clark's TEENAGE CAVEMAN. After one character witnesses another acting a little nuts and, I think, starting to transform into an ugly mutant, she spouts out a line that still haunts my soul: "You're a looner!"

I just about jumped out my bedroom window at that point.

[bob]

Yeah, Halle Berry in DAD is the single worst written character of all time in a legitimate film.

The number of groaners she had to deliver is really astounding, especially when you consider that Brosnan had his best lines of any of the films.

[areyoubeingserved]

There was an official list of the worst dialogue and the follwing were in the top ten.

"Suck My Dick" Demi Moore in GI JANE
"I'm King of the World" TITANIC
"I'm not just a walking penis... I'm a flying penis" Charlie Sheen in TERMINAL VELOCITY
"If that was a confession my ass is a banjo" Sean Connery in one of his hideous 80's films that wasn't The Untouchables.
"I heard you always wanted to be a farmer... heres a couple of achers" Arnold Schwazzengerrrrrr in PREDATOR
"It ain't over til the fat lady sings... AND I'M THE FAT LADY" Brain Somebody in Bastards something.

But I think the claims above for Berry as the worst written dialogue character are out of line, when we have Arnold Schwazzenger's brilliant lines in Batman and Robin.

"You're not sending me to the cooler"
"Everybody Chill!"
"The Iceman cometh"

and the favourite piece to Poison Ivy
"We'll be Adam and Eve... il."

Hideous fucking puns, and only another testement to my proposal of feeding Akiva Goldsman to a pack of wolves.

That line MAKES the Film...It's one of my favourite lines ever. Please don't diss that classic quote, it truly saddens me ;)

PS: I really DO love that line...I'm being sincere here!

aw......:p

[freakandgeek]

OK, imo this is the stupidest line ever...i laughed so hard when i heard it....i don't think i was supposed to....

in HALLOWEEN RESURRECTION when sean patrick thomas is flinging or whatever the knives at michael myers when he is in the kitchen, and sean says "You want some of this?! Huh?! You like sushi muthafucka'?!" but it was soooo funny i laughed so long. SO STUPID...

[uncle_el]

sean connery in 'finding forrester' when he blurts out "you're the man now dog!" his delivery of this line is hilarious.

bigpudge- great thread! something about that line in the trailer/commercial just strikes me as odd- it just sounds weird/bad

[Zing!]

"...chicks love the car..." Chris O'Donnell as Robin in "Batman & Robin."

"But I was going into Toshi Station to pick up some power converters!" Mark Hamill as Luke
Skywalker in 'Star Wars.'

"Yippeee!" Jake Lloyd twice as Anakin Skywalker in "The Phantom Menace."

"I miss you mom. Soooo MUCH!" Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker in "Attack of the
Clones." This may be the worst delivered line in the entire series. I about set myself on fire
right in the theater after hearing this crap.

Anything Nicolas Cage has said in a movie (other than 'Raising Arizona'). The fact that this
clown won an Oscar gives me faith that any one of the Schmoes here has a legit shot too.

Good call, Zing. He is right up there on the worst actors list with Costner, Travolta, Slater, Fraser et al.

Now is the part where you admit that you never saw Leaving Las Vegas, and that your statement was solely based off of his acting in other movies you HAVE seen...

Am I right? Tell me I'm right. I know I'm right. :D

[Zing!]

You are wrong.

Nicolas Cage is a hack.

Have a nice day.

:rolleyes:

Damn! ;)

Well, I thought he was good in it (as did a lot of people, seeing as that would then explain why he won). Well, I can't wait to see Adaptation next weekend.

Oh, and I WILL have a nice day. Thank you.


EDIT:

One more thing... Have you met the guy? Is he really a hack? What IS a hack anyway? Are you Sean Penn? Because he talks shit about Nic Cage too.

SECOND EDIT:

"Rubber baby buggy bumpers. I bet you didn't expect me to say that..." - Arnold, Last Action Hero

THIRD EDIT:

I do agree, however, that Nic Cage was horrible in 8mm.

[flowrchild]

I think Pearl Harbor has some of the worst dialogue I have ever heard. I couldn't tell if I should be laughing or vomiting or cringing.

**Note: dialogue excerpts are based on memory alone and are certainly not verbatim**


Crappy Dialogue #1:

Rafe: Ouch, I'm hurt
Evelyn: Is it your nose?
Rafe: No, I think it's my heart.


Crappy Dialogue #2:

Evelyn: I will never look at another sunset without thinking of you, again.


Crappy Dialogue #3:

Alec Baldwin: If it were me up there, I would crash my plane into as many of japanese bastards as I could.

Can you say....terrible script?

Ok, ok...I'll agree, that there really is no better line for that scene. :D (although I still don't like it.)

If it makes you feel any better, I'll add some others...perhaps not to go *along* with my previous...but to replace as the worst lines I have ever come across.

From the dread "Bounce"

"Someone to say goodnight to. A last call of the day. I don't have a last call of the day."

...ugh...also

"This isn't a democracy...this is a *cheer*ocracy"...remind me why I watched Bring it On :(

I liked him in The Rock and Con Air. He played the role given to him the way it should have been played. And, in Face/Off, he was at least WAY BETTER than John Travolta was...

Yes, he was pretty bad in Snake Eyes, though he did do well with that opening phone conversation that lasted 7 minutes or whatever.

I have not seen the other movies you mentioned.

And he was good in Leaving Las Vegas, Family Man, Raising Arizona, Bringing Out the Dead, Kiss of Death, It Could Happen to You, Honeymoon in Vegas, Red Rock West, and Guarding Tess, of the movies I've seen. He also looks to be damn good in Adaptation.

How is he a hack? If anything, he's a bad actor. But I wouldn't say so, it's just that some of his roles have sucked.

Just an opinion. I really haven't liked him in anything but Raising Arizona. He's very wooden, and you can almost see him trying to think of his lines. IMHO.

Saying he was better than John Travolta is like saying Meister Brau beer is better than Milwaukee's Best. When they're both piss poor, it doesn't matter which one is slightly better.

[the movie guy]

And now for another horrible line (mainly in the delivery):

Switch's delivery of the line, "Our way, or the highway", to Neo in The Matrix.

[Gandalf the Grey]

How about these gems:

Halle Berry in "Die Another Day"
-Hurry James. If this laser hits me, I'll be half the girl I used to be.

Brendan Fraser in "The Mummy Returns"
-Oh I hate mummies!

Keanu Reeves in "EVERYTHING"
-WHOA!!!!!

I'll try and think of some more at a later date, but these ones really stick out in my head.

I felt nobody did better in Face/Off than Travolta. He just makes a great bad guy, I don't know what it is. Just my opinion, though :cool:

Oh, and I though Cage did a great job in The Rock, but, you guessed it: that's my opinion.

Yeah, I don't hate Travolta or anything, I just think he plays bad guys way too over-the-top. Heck, my mom thinks he's great though...

You should have been at the screening I attended when she uttered that line. You'd think some people wet themselves laughing.

[ColinM]

This isn't the worst ever, but in Princess Mononoke, there was a part where the heros are trying to recieve a monster's head and return it to him before he killed everybody (or something like that). So the main character gets it and says "Great forest spirit...WE GIVE YOU BACK YOUR HEAD!" It was unintentionally hilarious.

Another one is in the musical Camelot, in which King Arthur says things are peaceful and this is the time to pick flowers. Sir Lancelot replies "Knights...picking...flowers???" but because of his accent it came out "NNAAIIEES...PIHIIN...FOURS???" It was even funnier.

Good. She delivered it like it was part of Lady Macbeth's soliloquy. It's fun to watch Cammy try to act.

Hah. I was going to say this too!

However, I have to say when you see the film, that line is actually OK because she says "Yo mamma, and she says she's real disappointed in you." -- it's the ad that makes it sound too corny. But yeah, I was cringing throughout Bond and Jinx's first conversation together...

One other quote, Jake Lloyd from Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace (as it was on UK tv last night) -- well, virtually any of the monolgue that Lucas makes his pilots do to their R2s... but this one sticks out and makes me want to punch lil Jake:

(in the cockpit of a Naboo Starfighter)
"I'll try spinning - that's a good trick!"

[Alf-Life]

Oh, and I'd also like to add something that I LOL about every time I think about it, despite it not being in a movie per se.

If anyone has the Episode I DVD - watch the 'making of' documentary, there's a really really funny bit where Lucas shows Spielberg his shitty Droid and Spielberg breaks it's arm and tries to put it back into the socket the wrong way round.
In this scene, they keep alternating with "It's gonna be great." about 50 times to reassure themselves. Pity it wasn't, eh? :D

------

Lucas: "It's gonna be great."
Spielberg: "It's gonna be great."
Lucas: "It's gonna be gre-"
Spielberg: "It's gonna be great."
Lucas: "It's gonna -"
Spielberg: "It's gonna b -"
Lucas: "It's gonna be great."
Spielberg: "It's gonna be great."

And it wasn't.
