Shane: A gun is a tool, Marion, no better or no worse than any other tool, an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.



I teach 7th grade LA and we read Shane by Jack Schaefer and view the film.
It's always one of the students favorite books.
 
The Lone Haranguer wrote
I will add this one from Die Hard

That was a slightly borrowed from The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. Eli Wallach's character says
"When you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk."

Just about the whole movie of Outlaw Josey Wales is quotable.
 
Not exactly on the same lines but in Kelly's Hero’s…

Kelly--On the subject of a Sherman tank going up against Tigers.
All you have to do is keep em busy.

Oddballs reply-- The only way I have to keep them busy is to let them shoot holes in me!

Seems even Oddball knew his limitations.

A universal truth. :cool:

Come on, folks. I've seen some of the same quotes 4 or 5 times! Read the thread!
Hey, give us a break. It's three and a half years old! :p
 
Robert Downey Jr in Tropical Thunder:
"I'm a lead farmer, mother&@#%er!
(this movie was worth it just for that scene!)

Zombie Vietnam Vet in House:
"Crap. Come back from the dead, run out of ammo..."

Sylvester Stallone in Rambo:
Rambo: "Why do you need to go upriver?"
Evangelist: "We're trying to make a difference!"
Rambo: "Are you bringing weapons?"
Evangelist: "Of course not!"
Rambo (walking away): "Then you're not going to make a difference."

Queen Latifah in Set It Off, upon being shown some revolvers for sale:
"What the %#!$ is this? We ain't trying to rob no stagecoaches!"

...and Val Kilmer wasn't in Johnny Dangerously. That line "It's an .88 Magnum--it shoots through schools!" was spoken by Joe Piscopo, I believe. Val's first movie was either Top Secret or Real Genius, not sure which.
 
Predator

The scene in the movie where they are questioning the mexican girl hostage.
The girl says, " the other day you must have wounded it, Its blood was on the leaves". Arnold, "Dutch" looks over his shoulder and utters my favorite line, "If it bleeds, we can kill it."
 
Since the thread has been brought back, some from Clint's latest:

Duke: What you lookin' at old man?
Walt Kowalski: Ever notice how you come across somebody once in a while you shouldn't have ......... with? That's me.

Father Janovich: Why didn't you call the police?
Walt Kowalski: Well you know, I prayed for them to come but nobody answered.

Walt Kowalski: I'll blow a hole in your face then go inside and sleep like a baby.
 
The Patriot- "Aim small, miss small."

Tombstone-
Doc Holiday (obviously drunk)-"I'm your Huckleberry."
Johnny Ringo-"You're so drunk, you probably see two of me."
Doc's reply-"I got two guns. One for each of you."

Tombstone or Wyatt Earp (can't remember which)-At the end of the movie, Wyatt and Josie are on the boat going to Alaska, and the kid is telling them the story of his uncle...(not a direct qoute, it's been a while since I saw it)
Wyatt-"Ya'll are going to be able to get me. But I'm going to take 10 or 12 of you with me...all you brave men that want to be first, step up to the front with these other brave men."

Untouchables-
Elliot Ness referring to Frank Nitty after throwing him off the roof of the courthouse-"He's in the car."

In the train station-
Elliot Ness asks Stone-"Do you have him?"
George Stone-"Yeah, I got him."
BG starts counting-"One...T"
BANG
George Stone-"Two."

Not exactly gun related, but still one of my very favorite movie qoutes of all time-
Elliot Ness talking to Al Capone after the trial is over-"Never stop. Never stop fighting till the fight is done."

Blazing Saddles-
Gene Wilder's character holding out his hand- "You see this?"
The sherriff-"Steady as a rock."
GW's char. raises his other hand, shaking badly-"Yeah, but I shoot with this hand."

Wyman
 
THE DARK KNIGHT

Random Bank Robber at beginning, " He's empty right? He shot 4 times right?

The Joker Nods his head in agreement

RBR Stand up and is promptly shot in the chest by the pistol gripped shotgun toted by the Bank Manager

Joker takes out bank manager as RBR gets to his feet "Where'd you learn to count, idiot"
 
Jeremiah Johnson

"I, Hatchet Jack, being of sound mind and broke legs, do hereby leaveth my bear rifle to whoever finds it, Lord hope it be a white man. It is a good rifle, and killt the bear that killt me. Anyway, I am dead. Yours truly, Hatchet Jack."
 
Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof

Kim:"Look, I don't know what futuristic utopia you live in, but the world I live in, a bitch need a gun. "

Abernathy: "There are other things you can carry other than a gun. Pepper spray."
Kim: "Uh, mf tryna rape me? I don't wanna give him skin rash! I wanna shut him down!"
Abernathy: "How about a knife at least?"
Kim: "Yeah, you know what happens to mfs carry knives? They get shot! Look, if I ever become a famous actress, I wont carry a gun. I'll hire me a do-dirt guy, and he'll carry the gun. And when s*** goes down, I'll sit back and laugh, but until that day, it's Wild West mf!
 
From Firefly:

Mal: "If anyone gets nosy, just...you know... shoot 'em. "
Zoe: "Shoot 'em?"
Mal: "Politely."


Mal: "Are you offering me a trade?"
Jayne: "A trade!? Hell, it's theft! This is the best damn gun made by man. It has extreme sentimental value. It's miles more worthy than what you got."
Mal: "What I got? She has a name."
Jayne: "So does this!" (caresses the gun lovingly) "I call it Vera."
Mal: "Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle."


Mal: "Oh! That was bracing. They don't like it when you shoot at them. I worked that out myself."


Mal: "Jayne, how many weapons you plannin' on takin'? You only got the two arms."
Jayne: "Well I just excitable as to choice, like to have my options open."
Mal: "I don't plan on any shooting taking place during this job."
Jayne: "Yeah well, what you plan and what takes place ain't ever exactly been similar."

Jayne: "I'll kill a man in a fair fight. Or if I think he's gonna start a fair fight. Or if he bothers me. Or if there's a woman. Or if I'm gettin' paid. Mostly when I'm gettin' paid."
 
Memorable quotes for the movie Payback (1999)

Porter: [voiceover] Not many people know what their life's worth is. I do. Seventy grand. That's what they took from me. And that's what I was going to get back.

Porter: We went for breakfast... in Canada. We made a deal; if she'd stop hookin', I'd stop shooting people.
[pause]
Porter: Maybe we were aiming high.

[after Porter shoots Val in the leg and puts a cigarette in his mouth]
Porter: You got a light?
Val Resnick: What?
Porter: You got a light?
Val Resnick: No.
Porter: Then what good are you?
[Porter shoots Resnick in the face]

Bronson: I'll get you your money, but you're never gonna' live to enjoy it.
Porter: You let me worry about that. Here's the deal: I want you to deliver the money yourself.
Bronson: You're one hell of an optimist. What in the world makes you think I'm gonna' deliver the money myself?
Porter: Well if you don't you'll never see little Johnny again... Didn't come homw from the fight last nigh, di he? He's a good lookin' kid, but I think you indulge him too much. I told him so.
Bronson: Bull****. You haven't got him. You wouldn't be that stupid.
Porter: My Dad never bought me a Ferrari. I had to steal my first one. Nice inscription on the keychain. A little sappy. Want me to read it?

Bronson: Where?
Porter: I'll let you know. I'll be in touch.
 
Memorable quotes for The Professionals (1966)

Bill Dolworth: Maybe there's only been one revolution since the beginning - the good guys versus the bad guys. The question is - who are the good guys?

last lines]
J.W. Grant: You bastard.
Rico: Yes, Sir. In my case an accident of birth. But you, Sir, you're a self-made man.

Bill Dolworth: Rico, buddy. I don't deserve you.
Rico: I agree. I can understand you getting in a crap game and losing $700 you didn't have, but how'd you lose your pants?
Bill Dolworth: In a ladies bedroom, trying to raise the cash. Almost had it made, too. Do you realize that people are the only animals that make love face to face?

Bill Dolworth: Men on that train are Colorados. Expert marksmen. Also expert at torture. Couple o' years ago they burned and looted a town of three thousand people. When they finished, forty were left. Fardan's wife was one o' the lucky forty. "Why're you a revolutionary?" they asked her. "To rid the world of scum like you," she said. They stripped her naked, ran 'er through the cactus 'til her flesh was - The other thirty-nine rebels watched her die, and - did nothing. Just watched.

Jesus Raza: La RevoluciÛn is like a great love affair. In the beginning, she is a goddess. A holy cause. But... every love affair has a terrible enemy: time. We see her as she is. La RevoluciÛn is not a goddess but a whore. She was never pure, never saintly, never perfect. And we run away, find another lover, another cause. Quick, sordid affairs. Lust, but no love. Passion, but no compassion. Without love, without a cause, we are... *nothing*! We stay because we believe. We leave because we are disillusioned. We come back because we are lost. We die because we are committed.
 
Memorable quotes for The Wild Bunch (1969)

Crazy Lee: Well, how'd you like to kiss my sister's black cat's ass?

Pike Bishop: We're not gonna get rid of *anybody*! We're gonna stick together, just like it *used* to be! When you side with a man, you stay *with* him! And if you can't do that, you're like some *animal*, you're *finished*! *We're* finished! *All* of us!

Pike Bishop: [Holding a lit cigar to the fuses] You know what this is?
Herrera: Cuidado.
Pike Bishop: Any trouble, no guns for the General.
Herrera: Ha, ha-ha-ha-ha. Very smart. That's very smart for you damn gringos. So nobody can rob the guns.
Pike Bishop: Nobody.
Herrera: I am not afraid. They are not afraid. You blow up the wagon, you die. Or we kill you pretty soon. But we are amigos.

Pike Bishop: You boys want to move on or stay here and give him a... decent burial?
Tector Gorch: He was a good man, and I think we oughta bury him.
Pike Bishop: He's dead. And he's got a lot of good men back there to keep him company.
Lyle Gorch: Too *damn* many!
Dutch Engstrom: [removes his hat] I think the boys are right. *I'd* like to say a few words for the dear, dead departed. And maybe a few *hymns'd* be in order. Followed by a church supper. With a *choir*!
Lyle Gorch: You crazy bastards. Both of ya.

Pike Bishop: [the Gorches are protesting the dividing up of the loot] Sharin' up will be the same as always.
Lyle Gorch: Well, me and Tector don't think that he
[points at Angel]
Lyle Gorch: oughtta get the same amount. He's just startin' out and this is mine and Tector's openin' for a new territory!
Tector Gorch: That's right, and I figure a share to that old goat
[points at Sykes]
Tector Gorch: for watchin' them horses is damn sure a share too much!
Lyle Gorch: So, we decided; it ain't fair.
Pike Bishop: If you two boys don't like equal shares, why in the hell don't you just take *all* of it?
[pauses]
Pike Bishop: Well, why don't you *answer* me, you damn yellow-livered trash?
Lyle Gorch: [realizing the rest are backing Pike] Now, Pike, you know damn well...
Pike Bishop: [angered] I don't know a damn thing, except I either *lead* this bunch, or end it *right now*!

Memorable quotes for Saving Private Ryan (1998)

Gen. George C. Marshall: I have here a very old letter, written to a Mrs. Bixby in Boston. "Dear Madam: I have been shown in the files of the War Department a statement of the Adjutant-General of Massachusetts that you are the mother of five sons who have died gloriously on the field of battle. I feel how weak and fruitless must be any words of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering to you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save. I pray that our heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom. Yours very sincerely and respectfully, Abraham Lincoln."

Private Jackson: Sir... I have an opinion on this matter.
Captain Miller: Well, by all means, share it with the squad.
Private Jackson: Well, from my way of thinking, sir, this entire mission is a serious misallocation of valuable military resources.
Captain Miller: Yeah. Go on.
Private Jackson: Well, it seems to me, sir, that God gave me a special gift, made me a fine instrument of warfare.
Captain Miller: Reiben, pay attention. Now, this is the way to gripe. Continue, Jackson.
Private Jackson: Well, what I mean by that, sir, is... if you was to put me and this here sniper rifle anywhere up to and including one mile of Adolf Hitler with a clear line of sight, sir... pack your bags, fellas, war's over. Amen.
Private Reiben: Oh, that's brilliant, bumpkin. Hey, so, Captain, what about you? I mean, you don't gripe at all?
Captain Miller: I don't gripe to *you*, Reiben. I'm a captain. There's a chain of command. Gripes go up, not down. Always up. You gripe to me, I gripe to my superior officer, so on, so on, and so on. I don't gripe to you. I don't gripe in front of you. You should know that as a Ranger.
Private Reiben: I'm sorry, sir, but uh... let's say you weren't a captain, or maybe I was a major. What would you say then?
Captain Miller: Well, in that case... I'd say, "This is an excellent mission, sir, with an extremely valuable objective, sir, worthy of my best efforts, sir. Moreover... I feel heartfelt sorrow for the mother of Private James Ryan and am willing to lay down my life and the lives of my men - especially you, Reiben - to ease her suffering."
Mellish: [chuckles] He's good.
Private Caparzo: I love him.
[they make mocking kissy-faces at each other]

Captain Miller: Well when I think of home, I... I think of something specific. I think of my, my hammock in the backyard or my wife pruning the rosebushes in a pair of my old work gloves.
Private Ryan: This, this one night, two of my brothers came and woke me up in the middle of the night. And they said they had a surprise for me. So they took me to the barn up in the loft and there was my oldest brother, Dan, with Alice, Alice Jardine. I mean, picture a girl who just took a nosedive from the ugly tree and hit every branch coming down. And... and Dan's got his shirt off and he's working on this bra and he's tryin to get it off and all of a sudden Shawn just screams out, "Danny you're a young man, don't do it!" And so Alice Jardine hears this and she screams and she jumps up and she tries to get running out of the barn but she's still got this shirt over her head. She goes running right into the wall and knocks herself out. So now Danny's just so mad at us. He, he starts coming after us, but... but at the same time Alice is over there unconscious. He's gotta wa... , wake her up. So he grabs her by a leg and he's drag, dragging her. At the same time he picks up a shovel. And he's going after Shawn, and Shawn's saying, "What are you trying to hit me for? I just did you a favor!" And so this makes Dan more angry. He tries to swing this thing, he looses the shovel, goes outta his grasp and hits a kerosene lantern; the thing explodes, the whole barn almost goes up because of this thing. That was it. That was the last, that was, Dan went off to basic the next day. That was the last night the four of us were together. That was two years ago. Tell me about your wife and those rosebushes?
Captain Miller: No, no that one I save just for me.

Private Reiben: You know what that song reminds me of? It reminds me of Mrs. Rachel Troubowitz and what she said to me the day I left for basic.
Mellish: What, don't touch me?
Private Reiben: No, Mrs. Rachel Troubowitz was our super's wife. She comes into my mom's shop to try on a few things, all right? And she's easily like a uh, a 44 double E. These things are massive. And I've got her convinced that she's like a 42D, all right. So we're in the dressing room, she's trying to squeeze into this side cut, silk ribbonned, triple panel girdle with the uh, shelf-lift brassiere and it's beautiful because she's just pouring outta this thing, you know? It's beautiful. And she sees me and she can tell I got a hard on the size of the statue of liberty, all right? And she says to me, "Richard, calm down." And she says, "Now when you're over there, if you see anything that upsets you, if you're ever scared, I want you to close your eyes and think of these. You understand?" So I said, "Yes, ma'am."

Gen. George C. Marshall: My dear Mrs Ryan: It's with the most profound sense of joy that I write to inform you your son, Private James Ryan, is well and, at this very moment, on his way home from European battlefields. Reports from the front indicate James did his duty in combat with great courage and steadfast dedication, even after he was informed of the tragic loss your family has suffered in this great campaign to rid the world of tyranny and oppresion. I take great pleasure in joining the Secretary of War, the men and women of the U.S. Army, and the citizens of a grateful nation in wishing you good health and many years of happiness with James at your side. Nothing, not even the safe return of a beloved son, can compensate you, or the thousands of other American families, who have suffered great loss in this tragic war. I might share with you some words which have sustained me through long, dark nights of peril, loss, and heartache. And I quote: "I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the alter of freedom." -Abraham Lincoln. Yours very sincerely and respectfully, George C. Marshall, General, Chief of Staff.

Captain Miller: [weakly mutters something]
Private Ryan: [leans in closer] What, sir?
Captain Miller: James, earn this... earn it.

Old James Ryan: [addressing Capt. Miller’s grave] My family is with me today. They wanted to come with me. To be honest with you, I wasn't sure how I'd feel coming back here. Every day I think about what you said to me that day on the bridge. I tried to live my life the best that I could. I hope that was enough. I hope that, at least in your eyes, I've earned what all of you have done for me.
Ryan's Wife: James?...
[looking at headstone]
Ryan's Wife: Captain John H Miller.
Old James Ryan: Tell me I have led a good life.
Ryan's Wife: What?
Old James Ryan: Tell me I'm a good man.
Ryan's Wife: You are.
[walks away]
Old James Ryan: [stands back and salutes]
