welcome
to Jurassic Park the visuals looked
amazing the cast looked first-rate but
the real reason we got psyched for these
flicks one simple little phrase welcome
to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
greatest movie trailer quotes surely
we’re home
for this list we’re looking at the lines
that helps their respective trailers
sell the film even more than the casting
special effects and general fun shown on
screen who are hard to look at like a
testicle with teeth look like Freddy
Krueger face the topographical map of
Utah even if you weren’t excited for the
movie itself you couldn’t get these
quotes out of your head what’s the most
resilient parasite an idea number 10 I
dare you Star Trek I dare you to do
better after almost a decade of despair
the revival of Star Trek seemed like a
far-off dream I couldn’t believe it when
the bartender told me who you are but
there was still a long legacy behind the
franchise and it was time for new blood
entered the 2009 reboot filmed by JJ
Abrams enlist in Starfleet the trailer
was full of dazzling nostalgia touting a
return to classic Trek and making fans
young and old want to flock to cinemas
but it’s Captain Pike’s words too young
Kirk that play on two distinct levels
your father was kept in a starship for
12
he saved 800 lives
including yours
and beer you to do better the phrase was
a subtle challenge issued not just to
Kirk but to the filmmakers of the reboot
as well moviegoers trekkers and
newcomers alike
we’re also curious to see if they could
really pull it off
buck a lot number nine dream bigger
inception there’s one thing you should
know about me I specialize in a very
specific type of security this film’s
mysterious premise was a definite
selling point as each trailer was
released since we were left with more
questions than answers
Hera’s folding in on itself a climactic
battle down a snowy mountain a matrix
tile showdown in a revolving hallway no
one knew what to make of it all but then
came Tom Hardy’s Eames the forger
mustn’t be afraid to dream a little
bigger darling summed it all up
perfectly for us with one cool line and
a grenade launcher
this made Hardy’s character an instant
favorite well before the arrival of the
movie was the most resilient parasite an
idea it’s hard to top leo dicaprio and
his resilient parasite line but Hardy’s
line was the biggest selling point in
this trailer so when we wake up that we
realize something
number eight release the Kraken Clash of
the Titans
Liam Neeson you could say just about
anything and make it sound epic
especially while blinding us in a
sparkling suit of armor in this remake
of the 1980 one classic Neeson takes on
the greatest honor of all he plays the
king of the gods Zeus the trailer
already boasted some thrilling visuals
and even some cues to the original film
getting action fans and nostalgia nerds
height however it was Neeson’s command
to reveal the dreaded creature that
signaled one last little surprise for
both the enemy and the audience please
the Kraken the Kraken looked badass in
its reveal and we were ready for the
Titans to throw down remember who you
said I serve myself number seven to be a
gangster
Goodfellas far back as I can remember I
always wanted to be a gangster
what did you want to be when you grew up
an astronaut a politician
Goodfellas showed us what it was like to
live the dream as part of the gangster
life and man did it look glorious being
a gangster was better than being
president of the United States narrated
by ray Liotta’s Henry Hill this trailer
showed us all the glitz and glam that
came with putting on a fancy suit
stuffed with wads of cash and rolling
with a crowd that adheres to a specific
code of honor
Henry’s love for the profession only
grows as the trailer goes on even the
threat of violence and burying dead
bodies can’t ruin the dream we can’t
just dump a monastry owner and no place
to sleep a little fun and by the time
the trailer ends we all want in on this
party a new generation carries on an old
tradition
number six what a lovely day Mad Max
fury road oh what a day what a lovely
day
the previews for fury road gave us all
the promise of madness with explosions
vehicular mayhem and some of the best
practical effects in the last decade
it was all the magic George Miller
brought to the action world in the 80s
cranked up for a new generation and
though spending life in a
post-apocalyptic wasteland may cloud
your perceptions of what counts as good
and bad days war boy Nux can see the
silver lining and describes one of the
best action trailers out there it’s not
madness or chaos it’s the best day ever
number five come with me if you want to
live Terminator 2 Judgment Day come with
me if you want to live okay
imagine you’re Sarah Connor you’ve
barely survived an encounter with a
machine of death disguised as a human
and now that same machine is back to
protect you
get down sure the trailer spoils the
reveal that Arnold’s a good guy this
time around but this iconic line changed
Sarah Connors life forever
so we could hear it over and over again
the phrase pretty much sums up our knee
and his starring roles in action flicks
as a whole he’s really the only one who
can guarantee your safety so it’s
probably best to just trust him whether
he’s metal or otherwise trust me
number five now you have my attention
Django Unchained gentlemen you have my
curiosity now you have my attention
Quentin Tarantino is a master of
dialogue and exposition so when it comes
to picking which quote from one of his
film trailers kicks the most ass it’s a
tough call Django Unchained premise of a
freed slave travelling the frontier to
rescue his wife killing slave owners and
racists along the way definitely had us
entreat pick on my wife I sold it but I
don’t know who to and seeing all of the
action in the trailer complemented by
sharp dialogue and some upbeat funk
just as hooked on Leonardo DiCaprio’s
villain Calvin J candy after this
trailer we were ready for some good old
westerns shoot-’em-up fun as only
Tarantino can deliver I like the way you
die boy number three a bigger boat jaws
there is a creature alive today who has
survived millions of years of evolution
one of the greatest strengths of Jaws as
a film is its ability to build up
tension with minimal glimpses of the
great white shark while this might not
work in every movie this technique
definitely works in Jaws and it
certainly works here in the trailer from
all the dread and panic
new this sucker was big and this iconic
line from Roy Scheider’s chief Brody
only solidified the very real threat of
the shark known as Jaws you’re gonna
need a bigger boat going on to see what
kind of disaster befalls this boat in
the trailer maybe Brody and the boy
should have gone back to port and picked
up a battleship or something none of
men’s fantasies of evil and compared
with the reality of Jaws number two a
very particular set of skills take it I
don’t know who you are I don’t know what
you want Liam Neeson ascended to a new
level of badass with this action film
franchise and it all started in the
first trailer with this iconic phone
call what I do have are a very
particular set of skills skills I’ve
acquired over a very long career the
dark atmosphere the piano playing and
the intercuts of action gather intensity
as ex CIA agent Brian Mills details his
resume of skills and what will happen to
the men who took his daughter if they
don’t comply with his demands this is
not just a threat being handed out
it’s a promise and when the villain
utters his response to that little
speech we realized that this is one
promise he’s gonna keep good luck before
we unveil our number-one pick here are
some honorable mentions when Gotham is
ashes you have my permission to die i’ma
do plane to do disguised as another dude
she’ll save us no whisper no but he’s my
friend so was i oh and Verity and beyond
Toy Story look
number one this is sparta 300 this is
madness it’s become a universal war cry
300 was a testosterone Laden action
flick filled with blood violence and
muscly men making promises to dine in
Hell tonight we died it only made sense
that the strongest of them all Gerard
Butler would lead the legendary Spartans
into battle as King Leonidas it also
means that he gets to shout some of the
grandest lines in the movie selling 300
even more than the impressive visuals
already had yes the king’s declaration
to the Persian messenger is a
declaration to the world you don’t come
into his home and make idle threats that
just doesn’t fly here in Sparta does
anyone else really pumped now
do you agree with our list which trailer
line got you the most pumped for a flick
oh I’m touching myself tonight
