Abused Film Lines

**BohmaN** · 02-21-2007 11:25 AM

Ok well I thought of some film lines that I feel are used way too much in films and series. Well I don't live in an English-speaking country so I don't really know if some of these are normally used IRL too, and thus shouldn't be considered as an abuse.

If you come up with something more please post

And btw. My vote goes to "- You have to trust me."

How about:

I'll be back.

That's gonna sting.

I fart in your general direction.

We'll always have Paris.

ROSEBUD!

Frankly, my dear...

Anything from Napoleon Dynamite.

"Aaalrighty then!"

That gets a little old, especially when you realise you say it a lot.

**King and God** · 02-21-2007 07:19 PM

"You have to trust me." I say.

**CryoDragoon** · 02-21-2007 08:11 PM

"It's gonna be okey. I Promise."

i can't even begin to count, or even remember, how much i heard that...

Ooh,

action films most used phrases
undetected by enemy - "Stay here" - hero checks coast is clear
detected by enemy - "Cover me" - hero runs at enemy firing wildly
Some guy gets shot - "Man down. Get him outta there" - hero runs to fallen man

Medical dramas most used phrases
"20 CC's of ibo-dextra-thene"
"Lets go again at 400 joules"
"I'm sorry, he's gone"

Porn most used phrases
"Ya, I'm the plumber - come to fix your water main"

*edit*

And how could I forget the classics

It's quiet.......too quiet
Freeze!
Drop the gun
Let the girl go
You won't get away with this
It's gonna blow

I hear many of those commonly used in day-to-day life. So I wouldn't qualify them as Film Lines.

**Burns** · 02-21-2007 09:35 PM

What about "The truth? You can't handle the truth!"

Honestly I've never heard of any of the lines that were listed in the poll. They sound like regular things someone would say, not necessarily from a film, like Exo said.

Your Nicholson impersonation needs a bit of work there, Burns.

LOL, how bout this... *ahem*

"You can't handle the truth!!"

And that brings to mind another of my favorite abused lines:

"We don't need no steeenking badges!"

It is not going to be okay. In the real world, Bad Guys win quite often, and they rape your family.

**Joseph_Stalin** · 02-22-2007 07:38 PM

Probably "I have a bad feeling about this." (tied with "now what?") Also "I love you." and "Everythings going to be okay."

You also get abused film lines a lot more in successive film sequels. For example, the worst contenders are probably "The Mummy" and "Jurassic Park".

The winner without contest has to be:

"You....complete Me!"

BARRRRRRRRRRRFFFFFFF!!!!!!

**NeAvO** · 02-22-2007 09:31 PM

"You talking to me, there's no one else here. You must be talking to me."

Or something along those lines.

**Folqueraine** · 02-25-2007 11:01 PM

"You saved my life!" From a woman to a man, of course. Since I was five, I can't help rolling on the floor every time I hear this. But the "You HAVE to trust me." is well pointed out too.
