"No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country." -General George S. Patton, Jr.

while i have no doubt that patton uttered this phrase, it should be noted it is a slight rephrase of a mark twain original
 
Zoe:?"Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing?
Book: "Quite specific. (hefts a shotgun) It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps."

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

Harrow: "You have to finish it, lad. You have to finish it. For a man to lay beaten... and yet breathing? It makes him a coward."
Inara: "It's humiliation."
Mal: "Sure. It would be humiliating. Having to lie there while the better man refuses to spill your blood. Mercy is the mark of a great man. (lightly stabs Atherton with the sword) Guess I'm just a good man. (stabs him again) Well, I'm all right.

Jayne: Six men came to kill me one time. The best of 'em carried this. It's a Callahan full-bore autolock. Customized trigger, double-cartridge thorough gauge. It is my very favorite gun.?
Mal: [Chinese - "The explosive diarrhea of an elephant!"] You offering me a trade?!
Jayne: A trade?! Hell, it's theft. It's 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. I call it Vera.?
 
From: Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels ( I think. )

BG1: What's that?

BG2: It's me Breen gun.

*opens up with breen gun - full auto - shoots up everything in room.*

Its been awhile since I saw that. I rember that one the BG's gets shot with an air gun though. And another gets hacked with a machete. And then most of the other ones get killed in a gun fight with a drug dealer......you know, the usual.
 
I am not a Charlton Heston fan but I do like...
"There's no such thing as a good gun. There's no such thing as a bad gun. A gun in the hands of a bad man is a very dangerous thing. A gun in the hands of a good person is no danger to anyone except the bad guys."

Benjamin Martin: Aim small, miss small



"The Untouchables"

Eliot Ness: You got him?

Bodyguard: I'm gonna count to three... one!
Eliot Ness: Take him.
[Stone shoots him]
Stone: Two.

Jim Malone: ......here endeth the lesson.


"Serenity"
Jayne Cobb: Boy, it sure would be nice if we had some grenades, don't you think?

Jayne Cobb: I won't get et! You shoot me if they take me!
[Mal aims pistol squarely at Jayne]
Jayne Cobb: Well, don't shoot me first!

Jayne Cobb: She is startin' to damage my calm.

Jayne Cobb: Shiny. Let's be bad guys.



Just a couple of my favorites that have not been mentioned yet.
 
This one has been added, but not in its intirety:

"I aim to kill you in one minute, Ned, or see you hanged at Fort Smith. Which'll it be?"
"I'd say that's bold talk for a one-eyed fatman!"
"Fill your hands, you son of a b****!"

~~ True Grit

Also another favorite that is already in this thread, but not complete:

Lucky Day: "Not so fast, El Guapo, or I'll fill you so full of lead you can use your d*** for a pencil!"
El Guapo: "What do you mean?"
Lucky Day: "I don't know."
Jefe: "I think he means that if --"
El Guapo: "Shut up!"

And another from the same movie:

[Dusty Bottoms completes his chant and fires his gun. A shriek of pain is heard.]
Lucky Day: "You've killed the Invisible Swordsman!"
[Ned Nederlander checks the Swordsman]
Ned Nederlander: "He's dead, all right."
Dusty Bottoms: "How was I supposed to know where he was?"
Lucky Day: "You were supposed to fire up! We both fired up!... It's like living with a six year old."

~~ Three Amigos

How about one from a videogame?

Ocelot: "This is the Colt Single Action Army. Six shots -- more than enough to kill anything that moves."

~~ Metal Gear Solid (and also in MGS: The Twin Snakes)

"You might not believe it, but under fire, Animal Mother's one of the finest human beings in the world."
"All he needs is someone to throw hand grenades at him the rest of his life"

This second is from a book, so it doesn't really count.

"Gentlemen, this is an Iraqi Scud missile. It can carry a 600 lb warhead at a range of up to 900 miles, and it is accurate to somewhere within this solar system. If you get killed with one, you can console yourself with the fact that it was purely by accident."
 
Serentity(Jayne Cobb) quotes:

Shiny. Let's be bad guys.

Boy, it sure would be nice if we had some grenades, don't you think?

Ain't logical. Cuttin' on his own face, rapin' and murdering - Hell, 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 only when I'm gettin' paid. But these Reavers... last ten years they show up like the bogeyman from stories. Eating people alive? Where's that get fun?

Shepherd Book once said to me, "If you can't do something smart, do something right."
 
This is a good thread.

I can't think of any good gun quotes that have not already been listed.

Someone already did Tommy Lee Jones, "Lose that nickle plated sissy pistol and get yourself a glock!" quote, right?
 
From Armed and Dangerous starring John Candy and Eugene Levy


Truck driver - "Whao slim, I ain't never seen a handgun that big before!"

Security guard (John Candy) - "Yeah it's a 50 caliber. They used to use it to hunt Buffalo with, up close. It's only legal in two states, and this ain't one of them."

A few gems from Lord of War:

There are over 550 million firearms in worldwide circulation. That's one firearm for every twelve people on the planet. The only question is: How do we arm the other 11?

Of all the weapons in the vast soviet arsenal, nothing was more profitable than Abdomat Kalashnikova model of 1947. More commonly known as the AK-47, or Kalashnikov. It's the worlds most popular assault rifle. A weapon all fighters love. An elegantly simple 9 pound algemation of forged steel and plywood. It doesn't break, jam, or overheat. It'll shoot whether it's covered in mud or filled with sand. It's so easy, even a child can use it; and they do. The Soviets put the gun on a coin. Mozambique put it on their flag. Since the end of the Cold War, the Kalashnikov has become the Russian people's greatest export. After that comes vodka, caviar, suicidal novelists. One thing is for sure, no one was lining up to buy their cars.

-both Yuri Orlov/Nick Cage

Borneo Officer: We're with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.
Yuri Orlov: Let me guess... this isn't about the alcohol or tobacco.

"Ow! He shot me!"
"I don't ****ing believe it! Will you guys stop getting ****ing shot!"

And later:
"But we shot one of them in the neck."
"Ah, good."
"But he got away."
"What did you use? A ****ing air gun?"

(Appologies for any innacuracies - it's been a while since I last saw it).

"Lets rock!"
- Vasquez, Aliens.

And I can't believe no-one's mentioned:
"Looks like you broke into the wrong God damn rec-room, you bastard!"


Speaking of Aliens: you want to hear something really stupid? I found the novelisation of Aliens in a bookshop, and was skimming through it to see how they wrote up certain sections in the film...

And the writer had censored Hudson's "Ultimate Badass" speech!
"Look at me! I am the ultimate! State of the art! Don't worry, Ripley. Me and my crew of ultimate killing-machines are here to protect you!". ("Sonic electronic ball-breakers" also became "sonic electronic cannons").

Now who on earth is offended by the word "badass", to the extent that they would want it removed from the novel, but be unphased by the concept of alien parasites ripping someone's lungs out from the inside?


Oh, and not a film, but from Halo.
Marine Sergent: "I don't care if it's Gods own anti-son-of-a-bitch device, or a giant hula hoop - we're not going to let 'em have it. What we will let 'em have, is a belly full of lead, and a pool of their own blood to drown in. Am I right Marines?"
Marines: "Sir! Yes Sir!"
Sergent: "Mmm-hm. Damn right I am!"
 
Ocelot: Reloading like this. It's a revolution.
(Reffering to his SAA after using a makarov for some time)
Ocelot: 12 shots... this time, I got 12 shots.
(Reffering to his using 2 SAA's. Later in life he will come to use 3)

Naked Snake: You ejected the first bullet by hand, didn't you? I see what you were trying to do, but testing a technique you only heard about in the middle of battle wasn't very smart. You were asking to have your gun jam on you. Besides, I don't think you're cut out for an automatic; you tend to twist your elbow to absorb the recoil. That's more of a revolver technique.

Para-Medic: Snake, look at your body!
Naked Snake: Yep... lookin' good.
Para-Medic: Not there.
Naked Snake: Then where?
Para-Medic: You have leeches all over your body!

Colonel Volgin: [before firing the portable "Davy Crockett" nuclear warhead into Sokolov's former research lab in the jungle] Remember the Alamo

Sigint: [after talking to snake with no camo on upper body] Whatever, you do what you want.
Naked Snake: I will, just one question though.
Sigint: What's that?
Naked Snake: Is there any way to take off my pants?
Sigint: Say *what*?
Naked Snake: My pant's, can I...?
Sigint: Ah, hell, no! This FOX unit's a nutfest!
Naked Snake: He, he, he.

And the best video game qoute to ever grace the earth
Sigint: Uh, Snake... What are you doing?

Snake: I'm in a box.

Sigint: A cardboard box? Why are you...?

Snake: I dunno. I was just looking at it and I suddenly got this urge to get inside. No, not just an urge - more than that. It was my destiny to be here; in the box.

Sigint: Destiny...?

Snake: Yeah. And then when I put it on, I suddenly got this feeling of inner peace. I can't put it into words. I feel... safe. Like this is where I was meant to be. Like I'd found the key to true happiness.

Sigint: ...

Snake: Does any of that make sense?

Sigint: Not even a little.

Snake: You should come inside the box... Then you'll know what I mean.

Sigint: Man, I don't wanna know what you mean! Between you and Para-Medic, is everyone but me that is hooked up with the Major strange!?

Snake: ...

Sigint: Yeah, well, anyway, I suppose even that dumbass box might make a decent disguise if you wear it inside a building.

MGS 3has such great dialogue.
 
Hannie Caulder

Apologies if this has been covered already - haven't read every post.
Can't say this is my 'favorite' .... but worth mentioning.

In the western - "Hannie Caulder" (Raquel Welch, ;) 1971) Robert Culp's character; 'Thomas Luther Price' - a gunfighter, is teaching Hannie the finer points of becoming a gunfighter. I think many of the film's 'gun-handling' scenes, were fairly well done .... for a 'Raquel flic' anyway.

Price instructs her - "Don't get too close to a man you are going to shoot. You get close enough, you can see his eyes, watch him sweat, hear him breathe and while you're taking all that in, he will kill you .... see nothing, and see everything".

Also during her 'fast-draw' training, he tells her - "First comes 'right' .... then comes fast".

When Indiana Jones is facing a crazed Egyptian with a huge simitar and he pulls his old 1917 and Bang, BG gone.....

This is one of my favorite movie scenes of all time! Here's a little movie trivia for you all. That scene was supposed to be a long sword vs. whip fight; but Harrison Ford had a horrible case of diarreha and improvised so he could get off the set. Gotta love when some of the great moments in film are created due to the call of nature :) Cheers,

"Ah Ah, I know what you're thinking. 'Did he fire six shots or only five?' Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I've kinda lost track myself. But being this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya, punk?"

-Dirty Harry
 
From the best violent movie ever...

Michael Corleone: We can't wait...we can't wait. I don't care what Solatso says about a deal - he's gonna kill pop - that's it. It's a key for him. We gotta kill Solatso.

Pauley: Mikey's right.

Sonny: Well lemme ask you something, what about this McClusky, what do we do about this Cop?

Michael: They wanna have a meeting with me, right? It will be me, McClusky, and Solatso. Let's set the meeting. Get our informants to find out where its going to be held. Now we insist its a public place - a bar, a resturaunt, some place where there's people so I feel safe. There gonna search me when I first meet them, right? So I can't have a weapon on me then. But if Clemenza can figure a way, to have a weapon there planted for me - then I'll kill em' both.

ALL LAUGH OUT LOUD.

Sonny - (laughing) Whatta ya gonna do? Nice college boy, eh? Didn't wanna get mixed up in the family business. Eh? Now you wanna gun down a police Captain - what cause he slapped you in the face a little bit? Eh? Whatta ya think this is the Army where you shoot em' from a mile away? You gotta get up close like this - BADA BING - you blow their brains out all over your nice Ivy League suit! Come here, muah! (kisses Mike on the cheek). You're taking this very personally (smiling). Tom, this is business and this man is taking it very very personal.

Michael: Where does it say that you can't kill a cop?

Tom: Common' Mikey...

Michael: Tom, wait a minute - I'm talking about a cop that's mixed up in drugs, I'm talking about a dishonest cop, a crooked cop who got mixed up in the rackets and got what was coming to him. That's a terriffic story - now we have newspaper people on the payroll, don't we Tom? They might like a story like that.

Tom: They might. They just might.

Michael: It's not personal Sonny. Its strictly business.


Pacino is the man!
 
didn't see this one yet

Martin Riggs: I do it real good, you know.
Roger Murtaugh: Do what?
Martin Riggs: When I was 19, I did a guy in Laos with a rifle shot at a thousand yards in high wind. Maybe eight or even ten guys in the world could have made that shot. It's the only thing I was ever good at... Well, see you tomorrow.
Roger Murtaugh: Yeah. See you then.
 
From The Three Amigos: "Here, you wanna die with a man's gun, not no little sissy gun like this."

From Bad Boys pt1: "Ah Jesus, could you use a smaller gun next time? You got blood on me again."

From Goodfellas: "Dance, C'mon, dance!!" Joe Pesci shooting that the busboy's feet.
