The Movie Quote Game

Josh Chesarek · May 11th, 2008, 09:35 PM

Well we can Alex till tomorrow and then we will have to post a new one, I don't mind if you go.

Kelly Goden · May 11th, 2008, 10:04 PM

Yep ok.
Thanks. Will wait to see what he says.

Lorinda Norton · May 12th, 2008, 09:01 PM

From someone who checks in off and on to see if she actually knows one of these quotes (she never does, obviously) just let me say…

…Post something! I think you’ve waited long enough. :)

Josh Chesarek · May 12th, 2008, 09:06 PM

OK, an easy one.

"Great. Just what we needed. A Drewish Princess."

Lorinda Norton · May 12th, 2008, 09:08 PM

Yippee!!!

Spaceballs!

Lorinda Norton · May 12th, 2008, 10:00 PM

I’m so sure of myself (won’t I be embarrassed if I guessed wrong!) that I’m going to give a quote to keep things rolling. Comedies are my favorites to quote, but here’s one from a drama I love to watch for the scenery:

“You believe a man can change his destiny?”

“I think a man does what he can…until his destiny is revealed.”

Josh Chesarek · May 13th, 2008, 04:51 AM

That sounds really familiar but I cannot palce it. But for the record, you are correct with spaceballs ;)

Kelly Goden · May 13th, 2008, 06:36 AM

For some reason I thought of Tom Cruise
so my first guess is
the Last Samurai

(and if its not that then Minority Report because it could also work for that sort of :)

Josh Chesarek · May 13th, 2008, 06:55 AM

Crap. I think you are right on your first guess.

Lorinda Norton · May 13th, 2008, 07:31 AM

Yep, it's from The Last Samurai!

(Hey thanks, Josh, for tossing an easy one for me.) :)

Kelly Goden · May 13th, 2008, 10:45 AM

This is an easy one.
In fact its so easy that there are multiple right answers!

The context is that someone makes a promise about whether or not to kill
someone, and then goes back on the promise.
And when confronted, the person says as a jokey punchline: "I lied."

I know of three well know films that use this line, there may be others.
I am curious which one springs to mind first, I have a pretty good idea which one will, but maybe someone will think of another one(the earliest movie I can think of to use it was in the 80s).

I think the joke value of the line got old by the third time around. :)

Kelly Goden · May 13th, 2008, 02:30 PM

No!
Dont tell me this is a hard one!

Someone must be able to name a movie
with that one liner.

It was used in 3 big name movies. 80s-90s.

Josh Chesarek · May 13th, 2008, 04:14 PM

Didnt Arnie say something along those lines in Commando? or at least in what order he was going to kill people in. which ended with "I lied"

Does that count?

Jonathan Jones · May 13th, 2008, 04:27 PM

Yeah, I'm sure there are at least a few other movies that use the same line and scenario, but "Commando" is the only one that comes to mind. In the scene, Arnie's character, John Matrix, is dangling Sully (the sleazeball) over the side of a cliff and reneges on his promise to kill Sully last, then drops him.

-Jon

Kelly Goden · May 13th, 2008, 04:33 PM

Congratulations!
Yes that counts. In fact that was the one I expected to get named first!

Arnie as Matrix: You're a funny guy Sully, that's why I am going to kill you last......Remember when I said I was going to kill you last?"

Sully: That's right Matrix, you did!"

Matrix: I lied!

William Shatner actually used it a year earlier in a Star Trek movie, and in the Mask the villain used it too. But because Arnold was the only one to kill the character, I guess he owns it.

Your turn!
