“A gun that's unloaded and cocked ain't good for nothing.”

I thought the next line by the guy with the grenade launcher was just as good:
"You got time to duck?"
(Bloop, boom)
Blain (Jesse Ventura) and Hawkins (Shane Black) in Predator.

"Don't you know the rule about filling the car with GAS when you borrow it without asking permission?" "No Grandpa." "Well, now you do!"
" We trashed the one who looks like Twisted Sister!"
"Totally annihilated his night stalking ****"
Funny movie 👍
Filmed in my home town! Remember the rock concert on the beach stage? I've performed on that very stage (school band) a couple of times. It was torn down after the '89 earthquake.
The Lost Boys of course. 👍

Well, OK, it's stuck with me. . . Does anyone else remember:
"WHO ARE THESE MISERABLE PERSONS?"
Spoken by the Great Goblin in the 1978 Rankin-Bass animated version of The Hobbit. He said it in the book too, but the animated character delivered it with wonderful gravitas.
I frequently speak this line while creeping along on a crowded freeway.
We could have a massive thread of just Tombstone lines. Don't know there is a more quotable movie except MAYBE The Godfather.
"Are you gonna do something, or just stand there and bleed?"
I'm rather partial to: "I'm afraid the strain was more than he could bear"
And also, when you consider the context of the conversation leading up to it: "JESUS Johnny!" When even Curly Bill Brocious thinks you've crossed a line of propriety. . .
Jack Burton: "I'm supposed to buy this $***? 2000 years, he can't find one broad to
fit the bill? Come on, Dave, you must be doing something seriously
wrong!"
Gracie:
"I'd go with you but..."
Jack Burton: "I know, there's a problem with your face."
Jack Burton: "Just remember what ol' Jack Burton
does when the earth quakes, and the poison arrows fall from the sky, and
the pillars of Heaven shake. Yeah, Jack Burton just looks that big ol'
storm right square in the eye and he says, 'Give me your best shot, pal.
I can take it.'"
"It's all in the reflexes"
Big Trouble in Little China
This movie is a series of quotable lines and it's about as un-PC as they come. Really funny movie. 👍

Half the fun is seeing who else recognizes it and knows the movie without being told...
Its a question of weight ratios

Col. John Henry Thomas : [after seeing Cpl. Little George for the first time] You sure you wanna go through with this?
Bobby Joe : Biggest Reb I ever saw...
Col. John Henry Thomas : That's the biggest *anything* I ever saw.
[takes Bobby Joe's hat]
Col. John Henry Thomas : Here... I'll write your folks.
Bobby Joe : Huh? Oh... yeah.
I think it's also from Big Trouble in Little China.
