Top 10 Movie Threats


heywhat again say what again I dare you
I double dare your mother say what one
more goddamn times do I make myself
clear
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
movie threats make a move and the bunny
gets for this list we’re looking at
specific movie threats that either
implied something dangerous was going to
happen or were direct and overtly clear
if you hang on
I will kill these are the big screen
scenes that made characters squirm and
shut their traps number 10 I’m gonna cut
your throat there will be blood I turn
it over to us we’ll make you rich
don’t be telling no prospectors how to
run their families when a clean-cut
businessman attempts to buy out
fledgling oil tycoon Daniel Plainview
and there will be blood he goes a little
too far by playing dr. Phil and offering
family advice you just tell me how to
run my family after a long awkward pause
and piercing stare mr. Plainview
promises that there will in fact be
blood and it won’t be pretty one night
I’m gonna come to you inside of your
house wherever you’re sleeping and I’m
gonna cut your throat this threat was
like saying your ass is grass
and on the lawnmower and yes I will
actually kill you
kind of like Daniel day-lewis is threat
in gangs of New York
I’m gonna teach you to speak English
with this knife number 9
ominous plans Cape Fear
open to some sort of discussion on
compensation perhaps it was the tattoos
or maybe it was his rapists past but max
Cady simply conveys a troubling demeanor
in Martin Scorsese’s remake of a 1962
classic what shall be my compensation
sir for being held down sodomized by
four white guys oh four black guys after
taking up permanent residency in the
clink due to his lawyers inadequacy De
Niro’s character teaches himself not
only to read but also the law let’s just
break that down incidentally he also
tracks down his former lawyer and
terrorizes his entire family with
passive-aggressive behavior and a few
direct zingers ah canal thank you and I
can out philosophize Sam Bowden attempts
to resolve the issue by hiring a private
investigator but Max Cady has something
entirely different in mind no he doesn’t
want to start a Hawaiian shirt company
he wants to get down and dirty and not
on the dance floor it’s not necessary to
lay a foul tongue on me my friend I
could get upset things could get out of
hand and then it’s self-defense I could
do something that you would not like
right here number eight human popsicle
the Warriors when a monster gang war
breaks out in New York City and your
opponent is wearing makeup and a
baseball uniform there is a select group
of threats that are always perfect for
the occasion did we lose these ha look
case in point when one of the baseball
Furies confronts the Warriors crew an
angry Ajax delivers an appropriate
zinger complete with popsicle reference
I’ll shove that bat up your ass and turn
you into a popsicle it’s unclear if the
baseball fury was stunned by Ajax’s deep
cleavage or if he was legitimately
scared about a Louisville Slugger
penetrating his backside all in all the
intensity of the insult was bold and
impressive and we could see it all over
the insult receivers face hey number 7
one time warning Scarface why don’t I go
back and dr. fine and work it out here’s
a shocker international drug lords don’t
like to give second chances to people
who screw them over it was an informer
for the police and they will always
speak in calm and collected voices to
express their displeasure thank you with
me we can work this thing out we do
business together a long time
Oh and they usually murder someone in
front of you to drive home their points
when people to val and the Ramos
brothers Melo Gino away for life such
was the case in Brian De Palma’s
Scarface as Alejandro Sosa reminds the
ambitious Tony Montana how things work
especially in his own backyard I only
tell you one time don’t mean Tony
don’t you ever fight over me the
delivery of this threat was poignant and
well articulated since he could have
just launched Tony from a helicopter
number six
head collector Kill Bill Vol 1 the man
who seems bound and determined to break
the mood is boss Tanaka if you want to
become the ultimate queen of the Tokyo
underground then you have to make a few
things clear that’s how the Nagas know
leo for example when a frustrated
council member named Tanaka publicly
insults his new boss it takes about
three seconds for his head to roll and a
bloody rain to shower over the
frightened guests to make herself even
more clear Oh Ren uses her translator
and delivers a brief yet potent threat
about how future business will be
conducted the price you pay for bringing
up either my Chinese or American
heritage as a negative is I collect your
fuckin head
krazee-eyez blood-stained face head in
hand three cues – shut up and obey
orders now if any of you sons of bitches
got anything else to say now good time
number five I will gouge your eyeballs
out and Full Metal Jacket
I am gunnery sergeant Hartman your
senior drill instructor from now on you
will speak only when spoken to
as a real-life sergeant during the
Vietnam War you’ve got a war face ah
that’s a war face our lee Ermey required
little guidance for his performance in
Stanley Kubrick’s wartime classic sir no
sir
Holly
private sir five foot nine so I foot
nine I didn’t know they stacked shit
that high once a new set of recruits
arrives at Parris Island
gunnery sergeant Hartman unleashes a
verbal assault and lays down the law of
the land I bet you’re the kind of guy
that would person in the ass and not
even have the goddamn common courtesy to
give him a reach-around one particular
soldier finds the rants quite hilarious
which leads to one of the most inventive
and powerful threats of all time
no Hartman won’t just gouge out the eyes
of private Leonard Lawrence he’s also
gonna take advantage of his skull
private Pyle I’m gonna give you three
seconds exactly three seconds to wipe
that stupid looking grin off your face
or I will gouge out your eyeballs and
skull-fuck you
number four brain basher The Shining all
death and no threat makes Jack a dull
poet of Redrum I don’t think that’s true
in Stanley Kubrick’s classic film Jack
Nicholson’s character goes mental and
completely loses his mind Wendy I’m home
as Jack Torrance and wife Wendy has sent
a staircase at the Overlook Hotel the
deranged writer drops a serious truth
bomb on the frightened woman who offers
up the worst baseball swing ever seen on
screen he didn’t let me finish my sins I
said I’m not gonna hurt you I’m just
gonna bash your brains on a bashing
write-in regardless Wendy still manages
to connect a line drive smash right up
against crazy Jack’s mug
look who’s talking now number three
family loyalty The Godfather
Fredo I’m your own business I leave
tomorrow and I get rid of it
spoken calmly and quietly this movie
threat rang loud and clear
hey come on RAM after Michael Corleone
and company roll into Vegas it’s
discovered that brother Fredo has been
horsing around at mo Green’s hotel what
happened to mo green he said he had some
business he said give him a call when
the party’s done but rather than
defending the family name
Fredo gets punked not once but twice and
the younger Corleone puts the matter to
rest Fredo
you’re my older brother and I love you
but don’t ever take sides with anyone
against the family again ever when a mob
boss ends a sentence with ever then he
usually means business Al Pacino
produced a similar threat in Brian De
Palma’s Carlito’s Way that was almost as
memorable
but equally menacing now if I ever I
mean if I ever see you here again
you got just like that number two I will
find you and I will kill you
taken pills Romans this snarling threat
was delivered like a boss albeit a
rather concerned one I don’t know who
you are I don’t know what you want
when Kim mills and her you two loving
friends arrived in Paris for a European
adventure they get snatched up but only
after a well-timed phone call to Daddy
if you’re looking for ransom I can tell
you I don’t have money but what I do
have are a very particular set of skills
before taking his threat overseas Brian
Mills a retired CIA operative reminds
his nemesis how things will go down
skills I’ve acquired over a very long
career skills that make me a nightmare
for people like you
if you let my daughter go now that’ll be
the end of it he doesn’t trash the room
nor does he scream like a madman he just
offers up a few facts and it is amazing
I will not look for you I will not
pursue you but if you don’t I will look
for you I will find you and I will kill
you before we unveil our top pick here
are a few honorable mentions how about
this shut your mouth I’ll kick your
teeth down your throat and I’ll shut it
for you if you deliberately sabotage my
band I will you like a pig what if my
problem wasn’t that I don’t understand
people but that I don’t like them what
if I was obliged to hurt you for
something like this I’m giving you a
choice either put on these glasses our
start is not trash can a pig
you’ve had your shit pushed in the shit
pushed in simple question number one do
you feel lucky Dirty Harry know what you
think did he fire six shots or only five
well I’ll tell you the truth in all this
excitement I kind of lost track myself
please Harry don’t hurt him
while tracking down a psycho serial
killer on the mean streets of San
Francisco homicide inspector Harry
Callahan forts a robbery by taking out
two of three gunmen and then delivers
the ultimate movie threat upon finding
the third you’ve got to ask yourself one
question do I feel lucky
well do you think you might call Dirty
Harry a policeman poet of the streets as
he precedes his threat with a fantastic
soliloquy of truth or dare
you know what happens next Clint
Eastwood slays the scene with cool
tenacity that’s Jenelle
