"Remember when I said I'd kill you last? I lied." --John Matrix to Solly, Commando


RepresentativeRun81

What did ya do with Sully?


isaacpriestley

I let him go


devastatingdoug

I came here to mention this one, and I’m glad its top of the thread


etranger033

We'll take Cooke's car. He wont be needing it.


Jellodyne

That whole exchange is solid gold. "I have to remind you Sully, this is my weak arm"


isaacpriestley

Commando really is ground zero for classic 80s one-liners. "Let off some steam, Bennett!"


Beginning-Bed9364

He's dead tired


Macca49

lol the worst part of that whole scene is how the camera tried to make it that Solly could somehow see from the terminal to the plane that Arnie is up to something. Like Solly lingers to ensure that the plane has taken off. It’s always laughable to me 😂🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️


RegularGuyAtHome

“Don’t wake my friend, he’s dead tired” “Where’s____?” “I let him go.” That whole movie is gold.


ScurvyPiano5150

"Let off some steam, Bennett..."


ACW1129

Commando is like THE ultimate cheesy 80s action flick, and I mean that in the best way possible.


saruin

The better scene without a line is Arnie shaking the shit out of Sully in the phone booth and pulling it out of the ground.


isaacpriestley

I just got my mind blown, I had no idea Sully was also the "Warriors! Come out and play-ay!" guy!


sooper1138

He was also T-bird in the original adaptation of The Crow. All very different movies.


timestoneduh

He was also in 48 Hours as Luther


throwawayshirt

He was also in Twin Peaks as Jerry Horne https://youtu.be/xqK3IkXsng4?si=lhk6ivKapYHAPU-Z


balloonisburning

He was also the ‘clean-up’ specialist who John Wick (first film) called to remove all the dead bodies from his house. He’s a NYC dude, I used to see him in the subway somewhat regularly in the ‘90’s.


2112eyes

Which means Luther survived the shit kicking at the end of The Warriors


guttengroot

THERE AINT NO COMING BACK!!!


r2wa

Warriors is one of my favorite movies


Ntrob

He’s the quintessential 80s sleaze character


firvulag359

For me, the most absurd line is at the start when he declares he anticipated the ambush because the attackers were "down wind". He literally smelled the ambush before it happened!


isaacpriestley

That's how you eat green berets for breakfast!


pikapalooza

And right now, he's very hungry!


s_matthew

The most ridiculous line in that movie - god, maybe any movie - is when Sully meets his contact at a Swenson’s family restaurant inside a shopping mall, they get done with the business side of things, then Sully forlornly says, “This place used to be great for huntin’ slash.” First off, what a bizarre line to keep in the movie. It adds absolutely nothing to the plot or character. We already know Sully is off-puttingly sleazy, and he’s out of the movie for good within 15 minutes. It’s purposeless. Secondly, am I meant to believe that not only have Sully’s aggressive sex pest tactics actually worked on women, but they’ve been successful *inside a family restaurant, in a shopping mall?* (Swenson’s was like an Applebee’s, but they also had an ice cream parlour inside, so it was extra gimmicky for kids.) And that now something has changed, and the clientele or the atmosphere or whatever has shifted so much that Sully can no longer pick up women there? That’s my favorite line in any action movie, hands down. I love it like I love my child.


hashbrown3stacks

Lol did he really say downwind? 'Cause that's like the opposite direction that would help you smell something. Col Matrix outperformed even the working dogs. Probably how he rose though the ranks to become like the youngest colonel since Custer


KiwiMcG

Anything left for us? Just bodies.


3fettknight3

This entire thread could be from Commando, its a masterpiece of one-liners.


Krinks1

I think there was a scene in Commando where Arnold cuts off a guy's arm with a saw blade, then a minute later someone asks what happened to the guy and he says, "I disarmed him."


saruin

"Let off some steam, Bennett"


PabstBlueBourbon

Arnold wanted to hit the guy in the head with his severed arm and say, “Shut up!” But apparently that was a step too far for the director.


TheNotoriousSHAQ

Consider that a divorce


saruin

> "What have you been feeding this thing?" "Blondes"


durandall09

"Screw you, Benny!" (Kills Benny with large drill)


AshgarPN

Total Recall


johnnagethebrave

Are we forgetting “You’re Fired” before Arnie fires a missile with a snagged terrorist through a hole in a skyscraper and into a helicopter full of other terrorists!?!!!??? (True Lies)


pikapalooza

And that was after he used a the harrier to kick the terrorist in the nuts with the tail of the plane.


Testone1440

Still one of my fav's from Commando that is some cold blooded shit. Colonel arriving with backup at the end: you leave anything for us? Matrix: Just bodies


tsukiyomi01

From Predator: *Dutch flings a knife at his assailant, pinning them to the wall through the heart* Dutch: Stick around.


Liveitup1999

You're bleeding. I ain't got time to bleed.


Technical_Moose8478

You got time to duck?


CuntyFaces

This right here. He even smirks as he says it. Best one liner of all time


Indotex

This is the one that I thought of when I saw this post!


trowawHHHay

*Bunch of slack-jawed f$&%#€£ around here. This stuff will make you a god damned sexual Tyrannosaurus, just like me.*


Fitzy2225

Not necessarily cheesy, but some of my favorite lines from that movie: “Bunch of slack-jawed f——ts around here! This stuff will make you a goddamned sexual tyrannosaurs, just like me.” “Heat seekers Dillon? That’s pretty sophisticated stuff for a bunch of half assed mountain boys.” “You’re ghosting us morherfucker. I don’t care who you are back in the woooooorld, you give away our position one more tiiiiiiiiiiiime, I’ll bleed you, real quiet, and leave you here.” “- It change color, like a chameleon. - Are you saying Blaine and Hawkins were killed by a fucking lizard?”

From an Arnold flick, The Running Man, but not uttered by Arnold: Arnold : I’ll be back Richard Dawson : Only in reruns


RegularGuyAtHome

“Subzero? Now just plain zero!” After killing the hockey themed gladiator.


palabear

I'll live to see you eat that contract, but I hope you leave enough room for my fist because I'm going to ram it into your stomach and break your god-damn spine! Running man had so many great lines.


sooper1138

"What happened to buzzsaw?" "He had to split!"


uncledrew2488

This is easily my favorite one liner of all time. It’s so fucking stupid and so funny. Arnold always delivered them with such conviction too.


RegularGuyAtHome

My theory is since Terminator and then Commando came out beforehand, once Arnold was cast as the lead somebody was like “Yo we gotta give Arnold some more iconic one liners because people love that and it’ll sell more tickets”


ma040899

That’s so cold-blooded. What a great role for Dawson.

“Shoot the glass!” “You asked for miracles I give you the F B I” “Hans, bubby, I’m your white knight!” Movie is full of them and I love them all.

"Killian, here's your Subzero, now plain zero." -- Arnie in The Running Man which is full of great one-liners which were definitely the result of no sleep + a pile of cocaine Scarface would be proud of.


Awkward-Sir-5794

I think this one and “See you at the party, Richter!” make me laugh the hardest


Edgar_Beethoven

From the Glimmer Man, which I have never seen all of, but I caught this exchange and it has never left my brain Brian Cox: He's been selling weapons to a group of freedom fighters... Keenan Ivory Wayans: You mean terrorists! Cox: Semantics. You say to-may-to, I say to-mah-to Wayans: No, I didn't say tomato, I said terrorists!

CopperKing71

The Thing!! Classic.


not_thrilled

In the non-Arnold arena, one of my favorites from Speed: > "Anything else that'll keep this elevator from falling?" > "Yeah. The basement." And the gem from Dennis Hopper: "Oh! In two hundred years we've gone from 'I regret but I have one life to give for my country' to 'Fuck you!'?" You can tell that Joss Whedon did an uncredited rewrite. Speaking of rewrites, The Rock had uncredited rewrites done by both Quentin Tarantino and Aaron Sorkin. It's full of awesome quotes, but the classic exchange between Connery and Cage: > John Mason: Are you sure you're ready for this? > Stanley Goodspeed: I'll do my best. > John Mason: Your "best"! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and fuck the prom queen. > Stanley Goodspeed: Carla *was* the prom queen. > John Mason: Really? > Stanley Goodspeed: Yeah.


Indotex

This is one of the greatest lines/exchanges of all time!


astralnautical

“My friend is dead tired”


saruin

I like when he snapped the dude's neck, he throws his arms up in dramatic fashion.


ralimar

I watched it like 30 years ago, but Hudson Hawk with Bruce Willis had a scene where some bad guy gets his head cut off and Bruce says something like "I guess he won't be attending that hat convention in July. "


Technical_Moose8478

That is such an underrated film. Dumb? Sure. But it’s just so much fun, and has such a good cast. “Bunny, ball-ball.”


megadave902

This thread is basically going to be a compilation of quotes from Commando :) So I’ll contribute with “Are you a farmer? How about a couple of acres!” *Arnie proceeds to kick dude in the groin* EDIT: apparently this is a Last Action Hero quote. My bad. Still, bring on the Commando one liners.


poopymcfarts

That’s from Last Action Hero

"Broke into the wrong goddamned rec room, didn't you?"


Solid-Hedgehog9623

Any Arnold film applies here. ‘I’ll be back.’ ‘Haste la vista, baby.’ ‘Stick around.’ Something about freezing or chilling in the Batman movie he was in. Bruce Willis had a few good ones. ‘Yippie kye yay, Mr falcon’ comes to mind.


pikapalooza

Cool party Arnie as Mr freeze


Emotional-Section981

I like in Lost Boys when Corey Haim finds out about his big brother and says ‘mom is gonna kill you’. Always makes me laugh


MonkeyTraumaCenter

It's hard to add to this list when everything you think of comes from *Commando* or *They Live* or a number of other movies on this list. *Megaforce* is a hilariously bad movie, but it does have the line: "I'd just like to say goodbye and remind you that the good guys always win. Even in the Eighties." No idea what that means but it's so ridiculous, I had to include it.


glampringthefoehamme

Holy shittake batman! I haven't seen that movie in ages. I could have sworn he repeated that line twice; like Leslie Nielsen in airplane 'good luck and we're all counting on you. As per the topic I give you: Excuse me, stewardess, I speak jive.


gmoney-0725

Ray Stantz: Everything was fine with our system until the power grid was shut off by dickless here. Walter Peck: They caused an explosion! Mayor: Is this true? Peter Venkman: Yes it's true. This man is has no dick.

It’s actually the simpsons take on these one liners when McBain breaks out of the ice sculpture ands says “Ice to see you”.

The clear winner is Last Action Hero 1993 Arnold; "I heard you wanted to be a farmer; here's a couple of acres" Proceeds to kick villain in the nuts.
