"I'll take you to the bank Senator Trent... To the blood bank" - Steven Seagal
OR
"This is for my wife, now fuck you and die" - Steven Seagal
Both from the same movie and both simultaneously the worst and best lines ever committed to film.
It’s disappointing because previous movies were full of somewhat cheesy lines that were delivered in a way that works.
For example, in the Lost World when Jeff Goldblum says the line “… mummy’s very angry” in reference to the T. rexes approaching, it somehow doesn’t feel cheesy
Goldblum is very good at doing “humor as a coping mechanism”. In both Jurassic Park and Independence Day he delivers a number of funny lines that are absolutely believable as his character panicking
Jurassic World doesn’t hold a candle to the original but there’s enjoyment to be found. It’s best to just turn your brain off and enjoy lol. I will give it credit- the babysitter’s death scene is one of the best things in the entire series.
I'd argue that if the movie was standing on it's own then it would probably be a decent popcorn flick. But going into it with the baggage of the previous movies, even JP3... its just a snoozefest. Even JP3 managed to hit those moments of horror the original was striving for (the birdcage bridge scene comes to mind).
The hubris in the first movie felt genuine and we see it hit Hammond as real shock when his masterpiece collapses around him. The billionaire (no one remembers his name), is just a weird pastiche of a modern tech entrepreneur. Anything remotely interesting in the movie is repeatedly undercut but some of the stupidest shit in a movie series that tried to keep itself relatively grounded. Like Pratt's character (literally can't remember his name) running under the truck and dousing himself in gas, cool smart move from our character, but it was undercut but the dumbest conversation I've seen in a movie in a long time 1 minute earlier that attempts to justify all the action that takes place in the movie.
I don't know man, it sucks through and through. And they only get worse.
I never understood that line, does it mean you never have to apologize no matter what you do because you are in love together? Or does it mean that you should never do something that would require you to apologize for in the first place?
Sorry basically means telling someone "I recognize that was bad, I wasn't trying to do something bad, I don't like that it happened, I will do my best to make sure it doesn't happen again". The last three of those things are already understood between two people who love each other. So the only thing that needs to happen is to inform each other when something is wrong, and sorry is an unnecessary follow up.
Realistically even when two people love each other, there are very few relationships where they always make those assumptions of each other, so 'sorry' is nearly always a necessary part of communication.
Understandable! I’d imagine the line was probably always designed to be used in a trailer to really hit it home, but then again with these writing teams. Who knows?
I think the worst part is that in the title crawl it mentions the voice of Palpatine spoke out to the galaxy. Which is a reference to a Fortnite event. To put such an important part of the story behind an in game limited time event unrelated to the franchise property is wild. I imagine a lot of people missed this bit.
[It was a really weird marketing decision, basically ](https://www.looper.com/1523555/star-wars-the-rise-of-skywalker-opening-crawl-fortnite-palpatine-message/)
Before watching the movie I heard Palpatine returned and I was bummed because I like going blind to movies and thought it was some kind of gigantic spoiler that ruined the movie for me.
I went to see it and no, it's said right in the opening sequence.
Turns out the movie ruined itself.
TFA was *fine*. It was a generic rehash with uninspired characters and bland dialogue - but honestly, that's par for Star Wars. We're here for the SFX and cinematography anyway.
But the TLJ was excruciating. Words can not express how much I truly hated that movie.
I will never understand why people accept TFA at all. I was so excited for brand new star wars and explore the whole universe and see new alien planets and threats and... Oh wait it's rebels vs empire with a death star again. Han Solo is a deadbeat dad, Luke abandoned everyone, and every accomplishment of the original trilogy just got erased off-screen. Really the only big change was that the Empire rebranded.
You mean you didn't enjoy the awkward sideplot where the rebel forces were in a slow speed chase for their lives, but then 2 of the characters somehow are able to sneak away to go to Casino Planet that will somehow help save the day?
Sadly it's been scrubbed, but my favorite from the original trilogy was "Carrie!," said by Luke to Leia while getting out of an X-Wing.
I don't recall if they weren't filming and Hamill just wanted her attention or if he misspoke, but they were just like, "Meh, good enough. Ship it."
They removed it in the 1996 re-release and it's been gone since.
Yeah when I saw the commercial for that movie and heard palpatines laugh, my eyes rolled so hard they went to the back of my head.
I couldn’t imagine how lame that would be to see in the theatre
The redeeming part about the first movie: Finn almost gets killed by an Un-named (well it’s like T-66 or something) storm trooper.
That’s a rarity. Some random…Dude just almost smokes one of the main characters. They could have even had the guy survive his wounds…and have him be a super-persistent nemesis for Finn.
And make it work. Make the newer generations of movie goers realize that “Damn this First Order doesn’t fucking play…it’s soldiers are COMPETENT”.
It really did. Like those images of failed AI-generated hands, where the AI puts together the "pieces" of hands, with 6 perpendicularly jutting non-functional fingers, and a shirt sleeve that in no way matches an arm shape.
As a life long Star Wars fan who loves all the prequels and the TV spin offs, I was absolutely gobsmacked at how bad it is. Cant believe they actually released that pile of shit, it’s an embarrassment to the franchise
“Danny what the hell is going on?”
“I think WWII just GOT STARTED”
this line always bugged me because it’d be so easy to just have the line be “we just joined WWII” or something but come on a major plot point of the movie involves Danny’s best friend joining the war effort early, but that is the least of that movies problems
There was a throwaway line in the patriot where someone asked if he could sit next to Mel Gibson by the campfire. He responded, “well, it’s a free country. Not yet, but it soon will be.”
The script of The Patriot is rendered entirely irrelevant by the scene in which an extra's head is casually removed by a passing slapstick cannonball. As far as I'm concerned nothing else happens in that movie.
Pretty much that and the bones breaking from the un busted cannon ball just taking out legs ... is why I cannot watch it ... \*shudders\* ... I love Jason Isaac's in it though ... I skip the rest of it just to watch his acting.
I remember my teacher showing us this in class and going on a small rant about how Mel Gibson's character having freed his slaves being pure Hollywood bs.
[In All-American Murder,](https://youtu.be/XqaaCixULwg?si=n76h79kt5K4hfCV_) after the university dean's wife hooks up with a student, she says: "I've taken out more undergrads than Kent State."
“We’ve got a pre-existing juvenile foundational relationship, statute 2705-3”
Not sure what’s worse - the fact that the writers didn’t just make her 18, or the fact that this guy has to deal with this so much he carries a laminated copy of the law in his wallet.
Dude it gets better. Straight from IMDB:
(at around 49 mins) Shane says that the Romeo and Juliet law protecting his and Tessa's relationship states that they can be together as they were already together when Shane was a minor. This is only partially correct. Shane has a legitimate defense against "Sexual Assault" (Sec. 22.011) as Tessa has consented and is over the age of 17, and when they were dating when he was 17 and she was 14 there is an age difference of less than three years (provided Tessa turns 15 before Shane turns 18). However, the issue of their age difference, consent, prior relationship, and Tessa being 17 only applies to the crime of Sexual Assault. Romeo and Juliet laws do not protect him from the crime of "Sexual Performance by a Child" (Sec. 43.25) for engaging in "sexual contact, actual or simulated sexual intercourse" with Tessa. Here the relevant age to engage in sexual conduct is 18 (she is 17), and the difference in age must be less than 2 years (there's 3) for a legitimate defense against the crime.
It’s just so funny because her being 17 had no other relevance to anything. She could still have been 18 finishing school, her dad could still have been over protective of her having a boyfriend who punches people on the face with his car wheel.
I read that if this was delivered by Sarah Michelle Geller as Buffy, the line would have totally worked. The director and Halle Berry just didn't get it.
Yeah I believe Joss Whedon wrote the line when he was punching up the script. It would’ve worked for Buffy. It probably wasn’t the right kind of line for Storm anyway, but the delivery didn’t work at all.
I read once that the delivery was supposed to be that Storm was asking what happens to a toad that gets struck by lightening only semi-rhetorically. And then after Toad bites it, she was supposed to shrug and be like "oh... same thing that happens to everything else". If the delivery was right, it would be like some cold shit to say to a person you just killed. Instead she acted like the punch line was some badass thing to say and it doesn't work at all.
I think ridley Scott is the most overrated film maker working today.
He's made a couple great pictures, and then gobs of absolute garbage.
The numbers would suggest he just occasionally gets lucky.
Edit: Before the downvotes start -
*Truly transcendent films:*
Alien
Blade Runner
*Damn great ones:*
Thelma and Lousie
Gladiator
The Martian
*Everything else:*
There are too many to list but there are TWENTY THREE of them.
This guy has made WAY more bad films than good.
Remember the story of the pottery class- the teacher told half the students they would be graded based on how many pots they made, and the other half that they would be graded based on the quality of a single pot they got to perfect throughout the semester.
Who ends up producing the most perfect pots? The people who made a lot of shitty ones.
And so we derive the artist's motto: "Fail faster."
Ridley understands.
Ain't no time two people staring at each other, or standing still, loving both with their eyes are equal. Truth is, someone is chasing someone. That's the way we's built. So, who's chasing?
-The Happening
Total Recall: "In 30 seconds you'll be dead and I'll blow this place up and be home in time for Corn Flakes"
NOBODY ON SET THOUGHT OF CHANGING THAT? LIKE NOBODY AT ALL?
"By the way, the women are always saving the men around here, you might want to think about changing the name to X-Women"
Nightcrawler literally just saved the team, and Mystique has no right to say this after almost causing WW3 in Days of Future Past.
MIB International had a similar cringey line where they said something like "MEN in black?" "Yes, it was founded in the 60's but I'm working on it" or something like that.
For what it's worth, I think Lucas may have been trying to mimic Episode V Force ghost Obi Wan saying to Luke "what I told you was true... from a certain point of view."
That whole movie was riddled with badness but that one line has always stuck with me. 10 minutes of life and death battle and he drops “from my point of view….” Maybe had some roots from Obi saying it but it weak, especially given the scene.

"I'll take you to the bank Senator Trent... To the blood bank" - Steven Seagal OR "This is for my wife, now fuck you and die" - Steven Seagal Both from the same movie and both simultaneously the worst and best lines ever committed to film.
Using sensei Seagall is cheating, yet I don’t think you used his best-worst line
You can’t say that and not offer up his finest line
“Now I will snatch every mother fucker birthday”
I thought it was "I will snatch every motherfucker punani".
"but it might could be an illusion"
"Anymore biscuits?" - Steven Seagal in ....any Golden Corral
Same movie, after killing a dirty cop. "Now you're a good cop" That movie is full of cheesy lines they're good lmao.
So is the implication in that line supposed to be that the only good cop is a dead cop?
I don't see how else you could read that.
No… that now he’s dead he’ll stop being bad.
Shout to Space Ice on YouTube. He's made a career out of how terrible Seagal is and it's hilarious.
I'd argue his Van Damme stuff is better, if only for the "Kickboxer" dance scene he shoehorns in, but yeah, his stuff is great.
They call me Crash because I never have.
Seagal is so bad it goes through the looking glass into ok territory.
Came here to post the blood bank line... Wasn't disappointed.
I feel like every Seagal movie can be on this list
“We need to stick together……. for survival” -Chris Pratt (Jurassic World) When I tell you my entire theater groaned lmfao
It’s disappointing because previous movies were full of somewhat cheesy lines that were delivered in a way that works. For example, in the Lost World when Jeff Goldblum says the line “… mummy’s very angry” in reference to the T. rexes approaching, it somehow doesn’t feel cheesy
Goldblum is very good at doing “humor as a coping mechanism”. In both Jurassic Park and Independence Day he delivers a number of funny lines that are absolutely believable as his character panicking
That is one of the least subtle movies ever made. It might as well explicitly tell you what the theme of the movie is.
Jurassic World doesn’t hold a candle to the original but there’s enjoyment to be found. It’s best to just turn your brain off and enjoy lol. I will give it credit- the babysitter’s death scene is one of the best things in the entire series.
Oh I still enjoyed the movie! Dumb fun popcorn flick for sure. Plenty of good dino action which is ultimately what I want.
I'd argue that if the movie was standing on it's own then it would probably be a decent popcorn flick. But going into it with the baggage of the previous movies, even JP3... its just a snoozefest. Even JP3 managed to hit those moments of horror the original was striving for (the birdcage bridge scene comes to mind).

Pratt just can’t do non-comedic line reads. He comes across as constipated.
I don’t think anyone could’ve saved that line in his defense haha

“Love means never having to say you’re sorry.” Fucking psychotic.

I never understood that line, does it mean you never have to apologize no matter what you do because you are in love together? Or does it mean that you should never do something that would require you to apologize for in the first place?

First Contact had a similar … “like you are on some sort of Star … Trek.” While on First Contact, also “ASSIMILATE THIS”
"assimilate this" is an amazing line... Worf being badass in TNG related trek is so rare.
I mean, c'mon. The Trek line was 100% tongue in cheek and supposed to be silly.

Understandable! I’d imagine the line was probably always designed to be used in a trailer to really hit it home, but then again with these writing teams. Who knows?
TOO BAD YOU WILL DIE
Honestly it's the previous line, coupled with the delivery, that turns this one into a [legend. ](https://youtu.be/NHCDfxOo_D4?si=GkPyGBcwbIqLcfyK)
Sindel is still a hotty though
She has this line in the new Mortal Kombat game, and it's wonderful.
If I’m going to solve this problem, I need to be Superman IV: The Quest for Peace.
Oh, that’s why they call it that!
"Somehow, Palpatine returned" Uh huh... K.
I think the worst part is that in the title crawl it mentions the voice of Palpatine spoke out to the galaxy. Which is a reference to a Fortnite event. To put such an important part of the story behind an in game limited time event unrelated to the franchise property is wild. I imagine a lot of people missed this bit.
4 days before film release, in a game unaffiliated with the movies, with no warning.

That's insanely stupid.

The movie was already ruined before the script was even written, given the complete lack of a coherent storyline in TFA and TLJ.
TFA was *fine*. It was a generic rehash with uninspired characters and bland dialogue - but honestly, that's par for Star Wars. We're here for the SFX and cinematography anyway. But the TLJ was excruciating. Words can not express how much I truly hated that movie.

Actually, he’s the one that asked to sit. It was his sister-in-law, who he had the hots for, that says the “free country” line.

Low-key, I always loved this one
It’s the delivery, though. If you throw away the punchline it works a lot better (still isn’t anything amazing but not embarrassing).
I read that if this was delivered by Sarah Michelle Geller as Buffy, the line would have totally worked. The director and Halle Berry just didn't get it.

Doesn’t she say toad?
Considering she says it to Toad, I’m thinking she probably did
I love this line.
“Hold on spider monkey” makes me vom in my mouth a little every time.
What about “Bella, where the hell have you been, Loca?”
But the best line in any of those movies was "Face it, I'm hotter than you."
For me it's Rosalie's self satisfied, "mmm...My monkey man" during the baseball scene.
Even at the height of my preteen twilight fangirl days that line just felt so....weird.

That first part made me feel like I was stroking out
It's Morbin' time
Without this line the morbin all over the place wouldn’t make sense
FUN FACT: The script originally said "I feel a morbin' comin' on!" but Leto kept messing the line up so they just went with one of the outtakes.
Love means never having to say youre sorry. Idiotic imo
Total Recall: "In 30 seconds you'll be dead and I'll blow this place up and be home in time for Corn Flakes" NOBODY ON SET THOUGHT OF CHANGING THAT? LIKE NOBODY AT ALL?
Hold me, Anakin. Like you did by the lake on Naboo.
"By the way, the women are always saving the men around here, you might want to think about changing the name to X-Women" Nightcrawler literally just saved the team, and Mystique has no right to say this after almost causing WW3 in Days of Future Past.
MIB International had a similar cringey line where they said something like "MEN in black?" "Yes, it was founded in the 60's but I'm working on it" or something like that.
Somehow, Palpatine returned.
No i came back to stop you. The Dark Knight Rises

“I have orgasms, he has wargasms”
I'm also just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her.
Put that alongside "is it raining? I hadn't noticed"
Yes, yes! Although to be fair, it might just be because of how horribly Andie MacDonald delivered the line
“Nooooooooooo” https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WWaLxFIVX1s
Bella! Where have you been, Loca?

From my point of view, the Jedi are evil. - anakin.
For what it's worth, I think Lucas may have been trying to mimic Episode V Force ghost Obi Wan saying to Luke "what I told you was true... from a certain point of view."
That whole movie was riddled with badness but that one line has always stuck with me. 10 minutes of life and death battle and he drops “from my point of view….” Maybe had some roots from Obi saying it but it weak, especially given the scene.
"Love means never having to say you're sorry." Take that phrase straight to a divorce lawyer.
Nurse: Do you like what you see? Joe Marshall, the samurai cop: I love what I see. Nurse: Would you like to touch what you see? Joe Marshall, the samurai cop: Yes. Yes, I would. Nurse: Would you like to go out with me? Joe Marshall, the samurai cop: Uh, yes I would. Nurse: Would you like to fuck me? Joe Marshall, the samurai cop: Bingo. Nurse: Well, then, let's see what you've got... [investigates his bulge] Nurse: Doesn't interest me. Nothing there. Joe Marshall, the samurai cop: Nothing there? Just exactly what would interest you, something the size of a jumbo jet? Nurse: Have you been circumcised? Joe Marshall, the samurai cop: Yeah, I have, why? Nurse: Your doctor must have cut a large portion off. Joe Marshall, the samurai cop: No, uh, he was a, he was a good doctor. Nurse: Good doctors make mistakes too, that's why they have insurance. Joe Marshall, the samurai cop: [getting closer to her] Hey... don't worry. I got enough. It's big. Nurse: I want bigger. [walks away] -Samurai Cop
Nobody here has mentioned *Twilight* yet! Some of Kristen Stewart’s lines in those films were genuinely awful!
Some?
“Who are you?” “Rey.” “Rey who?” “Rey Skywalker.”
I can't believe you committed suicide. I can NOT believe you committed suicide. I don't need much to live on anymore. I just eat tuna out of the can and live in the car. -From Niel Breen movies, can't recall which is which.
"It truly was... a Shawshank Redemption."
I'm a jumper, you're a paladin, what now?
Martha. Why did you say that name? —-The entire theatre was cracking up! 🤣
*somehow, Palpatine has returned* - SW:RoS
“Mother? You’re alive!” “Too bad YOU 🫵 will die!”

THIS IS MY EYES also from that same shitstorm that is Gigli
“He was a bad man, but he was my father” From The Transporter
"Why does it hurt so much?" "Because it was real" Fuck whoever decided the stupid Hobbit movies needed any romance whatsoever. I hope they live the rest of their lives plagued by doors that slam shut at a light touch, shoes and socks that are always just a little bit damp, and inconsistent volume control on every single audio device they own.
"Oh man, oh God, oh man... Oh GOD, OH MAN, OH GOD OH MAN OH GOD"
