There are usual suspects that can be rounded up, quite reliably, whenever it comes time to rank the best quotes in movie history. Hell, one of those all-time great quotes is \u201cRound up the usual suspects,\u201d from Casablanca<\/a>, which actually has so many great quotes in it that there are a fair few even more iconic ones. Then there are movies like Pulp Fiction<\/a>, Taxi Driver<\/a>, The Empire Strikes Back<\/a>, and so on\u2026 most masterful movies seem to have at least one absolutely perfect \u2013 and beyond iconic \u2013 quote in them.<\/p>\n

On the other side of things, there are the unusual suspects. Or they’re usual suspects that can be rounded up if you’re specifically looking for all-time bad movie quotes. That\u2019s what the following quotes are, to put it bluntly. Some of these are also from the worst movies of all time, while others are just very bad lines of dialogue that might appear in overall not-terrible films. There\u2019s a limit of one line of dialogue per movie, too, even if some of these movies have more than a few contenders for inclusion in a ranking of the worst movie quotes of all time.<\/p>\n

“They’re eating her… and then they’re going to eat me… OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!”<\/p>\n

‘Troll 2’ (1990)<\/p>\n

Troll 2<\/a> has well and truly earned its reputation for being one of the worst movies of all time<\/a>, but at least it\u2019s the fun sort of bad movie; the rare one that everyone should watch, so long as you’re mostly aware of what you’re in for (nothing good, in other words). It\u2019s a horror movie about a family going on vacation near a town that\u2019s filled with goblins, and they have to fight to survive and stuff.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s packed with lines like \u201cGrampa Seth has been gone for more than six months now. You were at the funeral, and I know it was very difficult for you. It was also very difficult for your father, and for Holly, and for me, his daughter.\u201d That one\u2019s kind of underrated, as is, \u201cYou can’t piss on hospitality! I WON’T ALLOW IT!\u201d But the best line of the movie is, of course, the one that\u2019s the most famous, which starts with \u201cThey’re eating her,\u201d and ends with \u201cGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!\u201d Wonderful stuff.<\/p>\n

“What killed the dinosaurs? The Ice Age!”<\/p>\n

‘Batman & Robin’ (1997)<\/p>\n

\"Batman
\n Image via\u00a0Warner Bros.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s easy to pick on Batman & Robin<\/a>, because it is undeniably one of the more infamous superhero movies ever made<\/a>. Some of the camp does feel intentional, and yeah, if they weren\u2019t going for such a goofy tone (like, if they wanted to make The Dark Knight<\/a>, but ended up with this), then Batman & Robin would deserve all the scorn. But it\u2019s not very good camp, so it still deserves some scorn.<\/p>\n

With this one, it\u2019s hard to know whether to laugh or plant your face in your hands for a good many moments throughout. Arnold Schwarzenegger seems to be having fun as Mr. Freeze, for what that might be worth, so his delivery of \u201cWhat killed the dinosaurs? The Ice Age!\u201d isn’t necessarily the problem. The problem is simply that the line is \u201cWhat killed the dinosaurs? The Ice Age!\u201d Mr. Freeze really doesn\u2019t let anything get in the way of a good (or bad) ice-related pun.<\/p>\n

“So, I figured it out. Why hot dogs come in packages of ten and hot dog buns come in packages of eight. See, the thing is, life doesn’t always work out according to plan. So be happy with what you’ve got, because you can always get a hot dog.”<\/p>\n

‘Bulletproof Monk’ (2003)<\/p>\n

\"Bulletproof
\n Image via\u00a0MGM Distribution Co.<\/p>\n

The first movie quote that mentions hot dogs that\u2019s worth bringing up here is found right at the end of Bulletproof Monk. So, apologies for the Bulletproof Monk spoilers (a sentence that has probably never been written before). Sean William Scott plays a man named Kar, and he has a despairing outlook on life earlier in the film, which he lays out by discussing the \u201creason hot dogs come in packages of ten but hot dog buns come in packages of just eight,\u201d and how it\u2019s a metaphor for life being unfulfilling and disappointing.<\/p>\n

Even if tongue-in-cheek, it\u2019s too ridiculous, but it feels like it\u2019s spoken and executed kind of sincerely, which is wild.<\/p>\n

Then, at the end of the movie, he\u2019s changed his way of thinking, which does admittedly happen in quite a few good martial arts movies<\/a>, but this one is a bad martial arts movie<\/a>, so the line\u2019s ridiculous. \u201cLife doesn’t always work out according to plan. So be happy with what you’ve got, because you can always get a hot dog,\u201d he decides. Even if tongue-in-cheek, it\u2019s too ridiculous, but it feels like it\u2019s spoken and executed kind of sincerely, which is wild. It feels like it earns the right to be the top result if you search \u201cworst line in movie history\u201d on YouTube.<\/p>\n

“Yes. So, you will be this armless, legless, faceless thing, won’t you, going down the street like a turd in the wind.”<\/p>\n

‘Venom’ (2018)<\/p>\n

\"Venom

Going back to the superhero well, Venom<\/a> is not as bad a movie as Batman & Robin, but it does potentially have a worse line. Both movies are tongue-in-cheek, and maybe Venom is also going for something of a camp thing, but the \u201cturd in the wind\u201d is still just a little too stupid, even if the titular character is capable of saying ridiculous things while trying to be menacing.<\/p>\n

Also, Venom: Let There Be Carnage<\/a> was superior camp to Venom (2018)<\/a>, and maybe there were some crummy lines in that one, too, but nothing as bad as this one from the first movie. At least it\u2019s not Venom: The Last Dance<\/a>, which must be explicitly singled out as pretty awful overall whenever there is even the slightest opportunity to do so.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve heard of Tough Guys Don’t Dance before, it\u2019s probably because of that clip where Ryan O’Neal\u2019s character goes<\/a>: \u201cOh man! Oh God, oh man! Oh God, oh man! Oh God, oh man! Oh God, oh man, oh God!\u201d If you\u2019ve never seen that clip, though, you might think there\u2019s been some kind of mistake made while typing out the quote in question. \u201cCould a writer really write that?\u201d you might be asking. \u201cWould an actor actually say it?\u201d you might also ask.<\/p>\n

Yes, the line\u2019s there, and that\u2019s the full line. Also, O\u2019Neal delivers it in a way that makes it even sillier, and then you\u2019ve also got the spinning camera and bombastic music working as seasoning on top of the deliciously goofy meal that is that initial line delivered in the way it\u2019s delivered. It\u2019s a fever dream-like moment from a real fever dream of a crime\/thriller movie<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“KILLING ME WON’T BRING BACK YOUR GODDAMN HONEY!”<\/p>\n

‘The Wicker Man’ (2006)<\/p>\n

\"The
\n Image via\u00a0Warner Bros. Pictures<\/p>\n

The Wicker Man<\/a> isn’t even the worst movie Nicolas Cage has starred in<\/a>, but it\u2019s up there. Or down there, depending on your point of view. It\u2019s honestly a tedious watch, even if you like Cage at his hammiest and tend to enjoy bad movies. There are moments of absolute hilarity, and a decent number of funny lines that have understandably become memes, but whenever one of those moments isn’t happening, it\u2019s sort of just boring.<\/p>\n

To focus on the good times, you do have much of the ending, the most famous line of which is \u201cOH, NO, NOT THE BEES! NOT THE BEES! AAAAAHHHHH! OH, THEY’RE IN MY EYES! MY EYES!\u201d Though that moment isn’t even in the theatrical cut, which can be disappointing, if you do choose to watch The Wicker Man and happen upon this inferior version. At least you get \u201cKILLING ME WON’T BRING BACK YOUR GODDAMN HONEY!\u201d, both lines deserving of being written with caps-lock. And also, both are funnier without context, so you won\u2019t get any of that here.<\/p>\n

“Pain don’t hurt.”<\/p>\n

‘Roadhouse’ (1989)<\/p>\n

\"Road
\n Image via\u00a0United Artists<\/p>\n

If you use some kind of spell or grammar check, it\u2019s going to hate you for trying to quote this particular line from Road House<\/a>. Patrick Swayze\u2019s character, James Dalton, is in hospital, and is asked whether he enjoys pain, to which he replies: \u201cPain don\u2019t hurt.\u201d It\u2019s probably meant to sound cool, and even if the doctor questions it immediately, it doesn\u2019t get quite the calling out it deserves.<\/p>\n

Pain always hurts, and that\u2019s what makes it pain. And Dalton might be cool and unstoppable, but he also said a very silly thing, and the line sticks out in a movie that\u2019s full of rather dopey lines<\/a>, many of them likely leading to a great quote in itself from Roger Ebert\u2019s review of the film<\/a>: \u201cRoad House is the kind of movie that leaves reality so far behind that you have to accept it on its own terms.\u201d He was right on the money with that particular review.<\/p>\n

\n Image via\u00a0TPW Films<\/p>\n

This ranking could\u2019ve been nothing but quotes from The Room<\/a>, and it still would’ve been more than appropriate. Tommy Wiseau\u2019s legendary film has spoonful upon spoonful of memorable dialogue, to the extent that there might be more quotable lines than non-quotable ones. And that could make singling out Lisa\u2019s \u201cI’m going to do what I want to do, and that’s it. What do you think I should do?\u201d a bit of a head-scratching pick.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s no \u201cHi doggy,\u201d nor \u201cI did not hit her,\u201d nor \u201cYou’re tearing me apart, Lisa,\u201d which have brevity on their side. But Lisa, one of the worst-written characters in cinema history, declaring her willingness to do what she wants right before contradicting herself a second later is the kind of thing you’d think would be impossible to write<\/a>, have kept in the script, and then see it end up in the final movie. Honorable mention to this exchange, which is similarly funny for how contradictory it is:<\/p>\n

Lisa: \u201cDid you get your promotion?\u201d<\/p>\n

Johnny: \u201cNah\u201d [pause].<\/p>\n

Lisa: \u201cYou didn’t get it, did you?\u201d<\/p>\n

Even better, or maybe worse, they do a similar thing when talking about pizza. What a film<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Somehow, Palpatine returned.”<\/p>\n

‘Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker’ (2019)<\/p>\n

There are honorable mentions to give out to some other lines in the Star Wars<\/a> series, sure, and those prequels do have more than a few (see the \u201cI don\u2019t like sand\u201d dialogue in Attack of the Clones<\/a>, for example). But the worst line in any Star Wars movie comes from The Rise of Skywalker<\/a>, and it\u2019s about Palpatine returning. Somehow.<\/p>\n

That was the big question The Rise of Skywalker had to answer, since bringing back the overarching villain from both the prequel trilogy and the original trilogy felt like a surprising move so late in the sequel trilogy\u2019s run<\/a>, with there not being any suggestion that it was possible in either Episode VII or VIII<\/a>. He just comes back, somehow, and this line feels like the writers throwing up their hands and admitting they don\u2019t know how, all while keeping the rest of the movie running at such a high speed in the hope that you’ll not notice \u2013 or be able to dwell on \u2013 such screenwriting insanity.<\/p>\n

“We’re packing hot dogs for the road. You know hot dogs get a bad rap? They got a cool shape, they got protein. You like hot dogs right? By the way, I think I know what’s causing this.”<\/p>\n

Return of the hot dog. Here\u2019s a rambling line about the food in The Happening<\/a>. Now, like a lot of the other films here, The Happening has a fair few all-time baffling lines of dialogue, since it feels like the worst Stephen King movie adaptation of the worst Stephen King-like book<\/a> that Stephen King didn\u2019t actually write. The concept boils down to \u201ca natural disaster is making people take their own lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

And it\u2019s done in a way that feels more unintentionally funny than knowingly comedic<\/a>, since there are definitely other movies written by M. Night Shyamalan that have incredibly awkward dialogue. It\u2019s just that the dialogue here is extra awkward, with people getting paid to write \u2013 and say \u2013 \u201cThey got a cool shape, they got protein.\u201d The rambling monologue about hot dogs being capped off with \u201cBy the way, I think I know what’s causing this,\u201d referring to the aforementioned natural disaster, makes it all the more (wonderfully?) terrible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There are usual suspects that can be rounded up, quite reliably, whenever it comes time to rank the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":493381,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[146,85,46,397],"class_list":["post-493380","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-movies"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/493380","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=493380"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/493380\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/493381"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=493380"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=493380"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=493380"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
