Worst 1-2 Liners in a movie

jcdenton, are you refering to his "I may be a bastard, but I'm not a ******* bastard. Go home Kate" speech? I don't remember thinking it was bad.
 
"to hear the lamentation of the women."

I love that line. I say it to my wife when I get into bed everynight. The first time I said it, she replied, what, where did you get that line? From Conan the Barbarian. WHAT?!?!?!?!?
 
From Reign of Fire:

Denton Van Zan 'Dragon Slayer': Envy the country that has heroes, huh? I say pity the country that needs them.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Creedy: Only one thing worse than a dragon... Americans.



Matt's character: We can do this easy or we can do this real easy.
 
That last post reminded me of another example: Dean Keeton in the Usual Suspects.
Really, just about any time he has a 1-2 liner or is delivering any type of comeback to another character, it’s pretty much the most cliché crap you could possibly imagine.

Examples:

"Let go of the ******* case (x20)!!!"

"There... is... no... *******... coke!!!"

And, greatest of all... in response to "**** you, Keeton"...

"No, **** you."

Considering how great just about all other aspects of the movie were, I’m actually partially inclined to think this was intentional, and that it was basically intended as a clue to the fact that he was not truly KS and was actually kind of a joke who didn’t really come close to living up to his reputation as some kind of criminal mastermind.

If so, that would be a pretty brilliant move on the part of the filmmakers. If not, it was just ****** dialogue.
 
"Remember, when it pours, its rains."
- Gone in 60 Seconds. You get it? Nic Cage character's last name is Raines. Thats clever.
 
Wesley Snipes, Passanger 57

"always bet on black"

Hilarious!
 
Stallone in Cobra.
Everyone remembers "You're the disease, and I'm the cure."

There are others:
Night Stalker: The court is civilized, isn't it pig?
Cobretti: But I'm not. This is where the law stops and I start - sucker!

Cobretti: Hey dirtbag, you're a lousy shot. I don't like lousy shots. You wasted a kid... for nothing. Now I think it's time to waste you!
 
Have to second some of the lines in The Usual Suspects. Awesome movie and I've seen it many times, but some of the dialog makes me cringe.
"Old McDonald had a farm ee i ee i o. And on that farm he shot some guys."
 
The edited version of one of the Police Academy movies:

"Freeze eggroll, or I'll blow your freakin' knees off"
 
"you had me at hello"

this gets double **** upon because it inspired a Kenny Chesney song>

'Nuff said!
 
"Looks like you can kiss your trade franchise goodbye." -Star Wars Episode I

or there's also:

Character A: "Blah blah blah we blah blah blah us blah blah blah"
Character B: "[We/us]? There is no [we/us]!"

from way too many movies.
 
Any James Bond pun, but the worst is, "I always wanted to do Christmas in Turkey." Seriously they named a Bond girl Christmas just for that one lameass line? Rest of the movie's even worse.

Most of these aren't really "one-liners," just lines.

And I agree on the Christmas Jones lines from Bond. I also cringed when she introduces herself as "Dr. Christmas Jones" and told him to save the jokes because she's heard them all. He replies: "I don't know any doctor jokes."
