Liam Neeson in Taken:
“I don’t know who you are. I don’t know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don’t have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career, skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that’ll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But, if you don’t, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.”
“Out here, due process is a bullet.”
“People lose teeth talking like that. If you want to hang around, you’ll be polite.”
“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 kinda lost track myself. But being that this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you’ve gotta ask yourself one question: ‘Do I feel lucky?’ Well? Do ya, punk?”
“It’s not necessary to lay a foul tongue on me, my friend. I could get upset. Things could get out of hand. Then in self-defense, I could do something to you that you would not like, right here.
“I never went in for embroidery, just results.”
“You make sounds like you’re a mean little ass-kicker, only I ain’t convinced. You keep talking, and I’m gonna take your head off.”
“If it bleeds, we can kill it.”
“If I want your opinion, I’ll beat it out of you.”
“Solving problems isn’t our line. We deal in lead, friend.”
“A good martial artist does not become tense, but ready. Not thinking, yet not dreaming. Ready for whatever may come. When the opponent expands, I contract. And when he contracts, I expand. And when there is an opportunity, ‘I’ do not hit: ‘It’ hits all by itself.”
“Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker.”
“I’m your worst nightmare.”
“I used to believe in many things, all of it! Now, I believe only in dynamite.”
“I always leave one bullet, either for myself or for my enemy.”
“Ace used to say: ‘You don’t take any chances you don’t have to. Don’t trust nobody you don’t have to trust, and don’t do no favors you don’t have to do.’ Ace lived long enough to know he was right. He lived thirty seconds after I shot ‘im.”
Sean Connery in Doctor No
“That’s a Smith and Wesson, and you’ve had your six.”
“My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North and general of the Felix Legions, and loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next.”
“You’ll slap me? You slap me in a dream, you better wake up and apologize.”
Rico says he never gets an opportunity to use great lines like these, alas...
