Movies' Characters That Always Deliver The Best One-Liners

The Running Man

In the movie The Running Man (1987) Arnold Schwarzenegger's character, Ben Richards, showcases why he is hailed as the king of one liners. One memorable instance is when Ben triumphs over a Stalker named Subzero and wittily declares to the audience  Here's your Subzero...Plainzero.

A Nightmare, on Elm Street

Choosing one Nightmare on Elm Street film for its cheesy one-liners is tough since Freddy Krueger (played by Robert Englund) delivers numerous witty lines throughout the entire series. In A Nightmare, on Elm Street 3 (1987) Freddy continues his tradition of haunting teenagers while injecting dialogues that may. May not directly relate to the scene.

Heist

In "Heist" (2001) Joe Moore decides to retire from a life of crime. Gets dragged back in for one heist leading to predictable disastrous consequences.Featuring Gene Hackman and Danny DeVito in the roles of Joe Moore and Mickey Bergman, Heist embodies all the elements of a story of criminal redemption. Despite its nature the movie managed to garner reviews from both viewers and critics.

In a moment as Mickey approaches his moments he turns to Joe and asks if he would like to hear his last words. However, Joe makes a powerful statement, with a shotgun blast and the words I just did.

Rush Hour

Rush Hour is a timeless buddy cop film series filled with memorable (and a few cringe worthy) one liners. The character Carter (portrayed by Tucker) steals the spotlight in Rush Hour when he confronts the antagonist, Sang, who is attempting to escape with stacks of money. After a standoff Carter manages to outgun his opponent, casually places a napkin over the body and humorously remarks, Clean yourself up... You're dead.

Dredd

In a scene that showcases the Judges mental state, a notorious drug dealer is finally apprehended by the futuristic arm of justice and confronted with an enumeration of their numerous crimes. When asked if they have any defense for their actions Dredd calmly responds with the phrase "Noted" before throwing them out of a skyscraper window.

Hudson Hawk

In the early '90s when Bruce Willis was renowned for his roles rather than his action prowess he portrayed the eccentric thief named Eddie Hawk who couldn't seem to catch a lucky break.

The movie didn't do well at all. Ended up being a complete disaster financially.

Fortunately Eddie Hawk is skilled not in stealing artworks but also in taking out his enemies. When he was attacked he cleverly tripped his assassin onto his swords making sure to mention that "He won't be making it to that hat convention in July. He kept this information to himself. Didn't share it with anyone.
