Hollywood action movies give more attention to explosions, fighting and killing, often at the cost of the plot of the movie.
After all who needs an elaborate script when one sentence in enough to make up for everything else that might be lacking?
Each action movie has a bad-ass hero who shows just how cool he is by squeezing in one last remark before blasting away his opponent. We all know these punchlines, even if we don’t remember the movie they were from.
“Asta la vista, baby”, “Say hello to my little friend”, “This is Sparta” are but few of these famous, or rather legendary one-liners delivered by the protagonists before they deliver the last deadly blow.
Let’s recap 100 of the best of them right here and now.
Which one is your favorite punchline?
