if these words are spoken to you be
worried they may be the last thing you
ever hear you’re gonna be cool or you’ll
be just as dead as these welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top ten pre-kill
quips in movies you’re fired
for this list we’re looking at the most
memorable and badass one-liners remarks
jokes or wisecracks
from films uttered by characters just
before they kill someone knock-knock
number 10 yeah you too
the thing how’s it coming in there after
spending the entire film watching
everyone around him slowly be turned
into deadly monsters trying to kill him
it’s not surprising that McCready is a
little on edge when his plan to destroy
one of those creatures goes awry this is
his opportunity to release all of that
anger a perfect line that encapsulates
the frustration he must be feeling and
gives the audience a few seconds of
levity these words are the perfect
capper to everything that came before it
you two
number nine give my regards to King Tut
asshole stargate kurt russell is added
again as a special ops colonel who
begins an adventure in another world
with no great desire to survive or
return home he finds the fight for
survival inside himself Anubis the
personal guard of his enemy raw has the
unenviable task of trying to relieve
Jack O’Neill of his life and that brings
us to this line derisive and concise
this quip works on every level
especially when delivered by a true
Hollywood hero in my regards to King
Todd asshole
number eight say hello to your brother
die hard with a vengeance you are about
to have a very bad day considered by
many to be the best die hard sequel
which makes sense when you remember the
villainous family ties to the original
with a vengeance features the coolest
pre kill wisecrack of them all trying to
touch it an illusion to the death of a
legendary villain Hans Gruber who
MacLean killed all those years earlier
it works completely as a spit in the
face – the bad guy and as a pleasant
callback for the audience
despite also loving the all-time classic
line from the original Happy Trails Hans
Happy Trails Hans
it was the huge smile that this line
brings to our faces that earned its
place on our list say hello to your
brother
number seven let’s get high a Nightmare
on Elm Street three dream warriors how
do we find him Kristen as the Nightmare
on Elm Street series progressed Freddy
Krueger became a catchphrase uttering
facsimile of his earlier scary yourself
where you going though that may not have
worked for some horror purists it
certainly works for our list here today
though lines like tell them Freddy sent
you and told you comic books was bad for
you
we’re standouts Joe comic books was bad
for ya it was this line from the third
film that worked the best for us an
exceptional example of how Freddy turns
your vices against you using a line any
junkie would love to hear to kill a
former one is his victims absolute
nightmare number six I am no man the
Lord of the Rings The Return of the King
restore nice when Peter Jackson chose to
adapt j.r.r tolkien ‘he’s classic works
into a series of films he must have
realized one weakness of the series was
how few good female roles there were I
will kill you if you touch him luckily
for him he could rely heavily on aon to
fill that responsibility
in the final film she has as strong an
effect on the outcome of the battles for
middle-earth as nearly anyone oh man
uttering this classic succinct line
after she was told no man could kill the
leader of the Nazgul she puts down a
truly deadly villain as bravely and
effectively as any man could I am Nomad
number five dodge this the matrix what
are you trying to tell me that I can
dodge bullets it’s an unfortunate truth
but the two mediocre sequels to this
sci-fi classic have obscured some
people’s memories of just how awesome
the first film truly is
up until this moment we thought it
seemed impossible to take down an agent
at all
among many other things they’ve shown
themselves capable of dodging a bullet
but Trinity finds a surefire way to put
an end to that
seriously how awesome is this dodge this
number four get off my plane
Air Force one listen to me You Know Who
I am I’m the President of the United
States
Harrison Ford will always be associated
with his two standout roles as han Solo
and Indiana Jones and though they both
have some truly magnificent dialogue
they aren’t known for their pre-death
wit we can’t give in to their demands
instead it’s Ford’s turn as a president
whose family is under attack mid-flight
that finds its way here I’ll do anything
to save my family don’t ask me for
something I can’t give the type of line
that only works if you’re an actor as
cool as the Ford and happens to be
playing a kick-ass country leader
everything came together for this one
get off my plane
number three I lied
commando what is important which is
gravity
it seems outrageous that an actor with a
thick Austrian accent might just be the
best actor for conveying whatever
hilarious zinger screenwriters can come
up with yet we can’t argue against it
I’ll be back better we think the key to
Arnie’s success in this highly
competitive field is his ability to spew
ridiculousness
completely earnestly like he’s not in on
the joke and then have giant muscles
that back up his claims with deeds I
have to remind you Sully this is my weak
aha best represented in this amazing
sequence in this 80s classic Arnold made
this line that probably sounded insane
on paper completely badass remember
Sally when I promised to kill you last
that’s what made you dead I lied number
to say hello to my little friend
Scarface
I’m Tonio Montana are you what you call
yourself one of the most quoted phrases
in film history there doesn’t appear to
be any better way we can think of to
encapsulate the reckless abandon Tony
Montana’s rise to power was built on
than this I mean
the only thing in this world that gives
worth is both
boss screamed by a man who’s fueled by
cocaine and a death wish
just prior to taking down a legion of
hitmen sent to kill him Al Pacino and
his little friend have gone down in the
annals of film history and there they
will stay shut up – my dear friend
before we reveal our top pick here are
some honorable mentions I’m gonna make
this pencil disappear it’s no thanks I
already had a wife Hey Oh swallow this
defies gravity
like the way you die boy
number one hasta la vista baby
Terminator 2 Judgment Day come with me
if you want to live okay we know
technically the t1000 comes back to life
after this scene but we think it’s close
enough and the strength of the line and
how much it’s caught on in pop culture
won it the number one spot despite that
and after all Arnold does get his man
robot in the end in the history of
cinema out of touch writers have many
times thrown slang into films that was
either passe or that they just thought
sounded cool I swear I would not kill
anyone
prior to this movie we don’t remember
ever hearing these words strung together
quite like this funny inspired and
fitting hasta la vista baby do you agree
with our list yes what’s your favorite
pre-kill quip movie for more action top
