In exploring the Die Hard franchise’s best quotes, we delve into the enduring power of these lines, which have transcended the films to become part of the lexicon of action movie enthusiasts. We’ll revisit the gripping intensity of Bruce Willis’ portrayal of the wisecracking NYPD detective McClane and the moments when his heroic exploits are accentuated by clever quips that perfectly capture the essence of the character.

The original movie is a stone-cold classic that pits Willis’ McClane against Alan Rickman’s incredible movie villain Hans Gruber, a German criminal who takes control of Nakatomi Plaza. An action-packed thrill ride that changed the action movie genre for the better, Die Hard was a massive hit that took home around $140 million and turned Willis into a star.

As is often the case with this type of movie, a sequel was inevitable. Die Hard 2: Die Harder, came out two years later and is set in an airport and features McClane coming up against a group of mercenaries trying to free a Latin American dictator. Although not as well received as the original, it was still a box-office smash that led to a third film five years later; Die Hard With a Vengeance.

Arguably on par with the original, Die Hard With a Vengence finds McClane teaming up with shopowner Zeus Carver (Samuel L Jackson) as the two try and stop a terrorist known as Simon (Jeremy Irons) who makes the pair dash across New York solving various riddles to prevent hidden bombs from going off. One of the most successful films in the franchise making a whopping $366 million, Die Hard With a Vengence is one of the great 90s action flicks that helped Jackson gain more recognition as an actor.

12 years later Willis decided to return as McClane in Live Free or Die Hard, facing off against Timothy Olyphant’s cyber-terrorist. Willis’ final turn as McClane came in 2013s A Good Day To Die Hard, where McClane travels to Russia to bail his son (Jai Courtney) out of jail, only to find himself mixed up in a terrorist plot. The weakest film in the franchise is not great and was hated by critics, and rightly so. While talks of a sixth film have continued for years, since Willis was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia and retired from acting, any future Die Hard films have been put on the back burner.

As well as the incredible action set pieces, well-written characters, and devilish bad guys, it’s the writing that makes the Die Hard franchise so good. As we embark on this journey to celebrate the best quotes from the Die Hard franchise, it becomes evident that these lines have played a significant role in shaping the series’ identity. Whether they make us laugh, cheer, or contemplate, they have become a testament to the enduring appeal of a franchise that has solidified its place in the pantheon of action cinema.

What makes these quotes stand out? Firstly, it’s their ability to encapsulate a complex emotion or idea in just a few words. From Arnold Schwarzenegger’s iconic “I’ll be back” to “May the Force be with you,” these concise yet powerful phrases become instantly recognizable and representative of the entire film. They become part of our shared vocabulary and can be quoted and referenced in everyday conversations, long after the movie’s release.

Another factor that makes these quotes remarkable is their ability to capture a universal truth or experience. They resonate with audiences because they tap into something fundamental about the human condition. For example, who can forget the iconic line uttered by Humphrey Bogart in the classic Casablanca, “Here’s looking at you, kid?” It captures the bittersweet nostalgia of lost love and the enduring power of memories.

Moreover, memorable movie quotes often arise from exceptional performances by talented actors. When a line is delivered with perfect timing, emotion, or intensity, it elevates the impact of the words and embeds them in our collective consciousness. Think of Marlon Brando’s iconic line, “I’m gonna make him an offer he can’t refuse” from The Godfather. Brando’s delivery and the character’s underlying power make the quote chilling and unforgettable.

Lastly, the context in which a quote is spoken can also contribute to its fame. Some quotes become iconic because they mark pivotal moments in a film, adding weight and significance to the dialogue. Whether it’s Darth Vader’s “I am your father” revelation in Star Wars: A New Hope or the memorable “You can’t handle the truth!” outburst from Jack Nicholson in A Few Good Men, these quotes become memorable due to the impact they have on the narrative.

In conclusion, the most famous movie quotes have a magical quality that allows them to transcend their original context and become cultural touchstones. They encapsulate emotions, convey universal truths, and are delivered by talented actors at key moments. These quotes become ingrained in our collective memory and serve as a lasting testament to the power of cinema to inspire, entertain, and move us.

Directed by David Dobkin from a screenplay by Steve Faber and Bob Fisher, Wedding Crashers stars Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn as John Beckwith and Jeremy Grey, two 20-somethings who enjoy nothing better than crashing weddings and scoring with the bridesmaids.

Everything is going swimmingly until the duo decides to crash the wedding of US Secretary of the Treasury William Cleary’s (Christopher Walken) oldest daughter. The two set their sights on Cleary’s other two daughters, with Grey hooking up with Gloria (Isla Fisher), who quickly becomes obsessed with him, and Beckwith courting Claire (Rachel McAdams).

Breaking all the rules they set as wedding crashers, the lads go back to the Cleary’s for the weekend as Beckwith begins to fall for Claire. Hilarity ensues as Grey tries to escape the clutches of the sexually possessive Gloria while Beckwith ramps up the charm as he contends with Claire’s deuce bag boyfriend Sack Lodge (a memorable Bradley Cooper playing against type).

Despite mixed reviews, Wedding Crashers was a massive box office smash, earning $288.5 million and putting the R-rated comedy back on the map. The film was a massive boost to the careers of McAdams, Fisher, and Cooper, who were all relatively new in the industry. While some of the jokes wouldn’t fly today, overall, Wedding Crashers is a good laugh, especially when the movie heads to the house of Secretary Cleary in New Hampshire where the touch football game and little hunting trips bring the laughs. The surprise appearance of Will Ferrell as veteran wedding crasher Chazz Reinhold is one of the movie’s great cameos that’s sure to have you laughing uncontrollably.

So read on below and discover the funniest and most memorable Wedding Crashers quotes that will have you ready for wedding season.

Released in 1984, the original is about a T-800 cyborg assassin (Schwarzenegger) sent from the future to the present to kill Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton), the future mother of Resistance leader John Conner. Helping her out is Kyle Reese (Michael Biehn), a soldier sent back in time to protect Sarah.

A surprise hit, the dystopian sci-fi racked in a massive $78.3 million off a budget of just $6.4 million and turned both Cameron and Schwarzenegger into major Hollywood players. The success of The Terminator meant a sequel was inevitable, and in 1991 audiences were blown away by the release of Terminator 2: Judgement Day. Affectionately known as T2, the movie flipped the script and cast Schwarzenegger as a good Terminator, this time sent back in time to protect Sarah’s son John. The movie also introduced a new type of Terminator, the T-1000 (Robert Patrick), made from liquid metal with the ability to shapeshift into anyone it kills.

The movie was an even bigger success than the first, making between $519–520.9 million and containing some of the most advanced special effects of that time. What’s even more surprising is they still hold up today, with T2 arguably the best movie in the franchise.

Four more films followed–Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, Terminator Salvation (the only one not to feature Schwarzenegger), Terminator Genisys, and Terminator: Dark Fate–as well as a short-lived TV series, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, focusing on Sarah after the events of T2.

The Terminator franchise is known for its big action setpieces and mind-bending plot lines, but it’s also gifted us some of the greatest movie quotes of all time. From Arnie’s iconic “I’ll be back” to “We are humanity’s last hope,” we’ve collected the best one-liners, monologues, and dialogue exchanges from the five movies as proof The Terminator is a part of the modern pop culture zeitgeist.

40 Greatest Terminator Quotes From the Iconic Franchise

The Terminator (1984)

1. “The machines rose from the ashes of the nuclear fire. Their war to exterminate mankind had raged for decades, but the final battle would not be fought in the future. It would be fought here, in our present. Tonight…” – Title Card

3. “Come with me if you want to live.” – Kyle Reese

4. “You’re terminated, fucker!” – Sara Connor

6. Cleaning man: “Hey, buddy. You got a dead cat in there, or what?” The Terminator: “Fuck you, asshole!”

Punk Leader: [pulls out a knife] “Fuck you, asshole!”

9. “This is burned in by laser scan. Some of us were kept alive… to work… loading bodies. The disposal units ran night and day. We were that close to going out forever. But there was one man who taught us to fight, to storm the wire of the camps, to smash those metal motherfuckers into junk. He turned it around. He brought us back from the brink. His name is Connor. John Connor. Your son, Sarah… your unborn son.” – Kyle Reese

16. “The hardest thing is deciding what I should tell you and what not to. But I guess I’ve got a while yet before you’re old enough to even understand the tapes. They’re more for me at this point just so I can get it straight. Should I tell you about your father? Boy, that’s a tough one. Will it affect your decision to send him here, knowing that he is you father? If you don’t send Kyle, you can never be. God, a person can go crazy thinking about all this… I suppose I will tell you… I owe him that. Maybe it’ll be enough if you know that, in the few hours we had together, we loved a lifetime’s worth.” – Sarah Connor

It would never leave him, and it would never hurt him, never shout at him, or get drunk and hit him, or say it was too busy to spend time with him. It would always be there, and it would die to protect him. Of all the would-be fathers who came and went over the years, this thing, this machine, was the only one who measured up. In an insane world, it was the sanest choice.” – Sarah Connor

25. “I know now why you cry, but it’s something I can never do.” – The Terminator

26. “Fucking men like you built the hydrogen bomb. Men like you thought it up. You think you’re so creative. You don’t know what it’s like to really create something; to create a life; to feel it growing inside you. All you know how to create is death and destruction.” – Sarah Connor

27. Dr. Silberman: “You broke my arm!”

Sarah Connor: “There are 215 bones in the human body. That’s one.”

28. “No, no, no. You got to listen to the way people talk. You don’t say ‘affirmative’ or some shit like that. You say, No problemo.’ And if someone comes up to you with an attitude, you say, ‘Eat me.’ And if you want to shine them on, it’s, ‘Hasta la vista, baby.'” – John Connor

33. “My CPU is a neural-net processor; a learning computer. The more contact I have with humans, the more I learn.” – The Terminator

34. John Connor: “You just can’t go around killing people.”

The Terminator: “Why?”

John Connor: “What do you mean why? ‘Cause you can’t.”

The Terminator: “Why?”

John Connor: “Because you just can’t, okay? Trust me on this.”

35. “August 29, 1997, came and went. Nothing much happened. Michael Jackson turned 40. There was no Judgment Day. People went to work as they always do. Laughed, complained, watched TV, made love. I wanted to run to through the street yelling to grab them all and say, “Every day from this day on is a gift. Use it well”. Instead, I got drunk.” – Sara Connor

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003)

36. “The future has not been written. There is no fate but what we make for ourselves. I wish I could believe that. My name is John Connor. They tried to murder me before I was born. When I was 13, they tried again. Machines from the future. Terminators. All my life my mother told me the storm was coming – Judgment Day, the beginning of a war between man and machines. Three billion lives were vanished in an instant. And I would lead what was left of the human race to ultimate victory. It hasn’t happened, no bombs fell, computers didn’t take control. We stopped Judgment Day. I should feel safe. But I don’t. So I live off the grid, no phone, no address. No one and nothing can find me. I’ve erased all connections to the past. But as hard as I try, I can’t erase my dreams. My nightmares.” – John Connor

37. “I’m back.” – The Terminator

Terminator Salvation (2009)

45.  “This is John Connor. If you’re listening to this, you are the resistance. Listen carefully, if we attack tonight, our humanity is lost. Command wants us to fight like machines. They want us to make cold, calculated decisions. But we are not machines! And if we behave like them, then WHAT IS THE *POINT* IN WINNING? Command is going to ask you to attack Skynet. I am asking you not to. If even one bomb drops on Skynet before sunrise, our future will be lost. So please stand down. Give me time to protect the future that all of us are fighting for. This is John Connor.” – John Conner

46. “What is it that makes us human? It’s not something you can program. You can’t put it into a chip. It’s the strength of the human heart. The difference between us and machines.” – Marcus Wright

Along with being one of the greats thanks to his exceptional skills on the court, LeBron is also known for his eye-catching tattoos. Each tattoo adorning his body tells a unique story, reflecting his personal journey and the values that have shaped him into the athlete and philanthropist he is today. That’s why we’ve decided to dive into 17 LeBron James tattoos and discover what they mean to the basketball legend.

James’ tattoos serve as a visual narrative, offering a glimpse into his life and the people who have influenced him. Many of the tattoos on his body are dedicated to important people who have helped shape him during his life, including his mother, Gloria James, wife Savannah James, and three children Bronny James, Bryce James, and Zhuri James.

In addition to personal tributes, LeBron’s tattoos also reflect his passions, beliefs, and commitment to social justice and advocacy. LeBron is both a leader on the court and off it and has used his unique position in the spotlight to support those less fortunate, starting the LeBron James Family Foundation in 2004.

LeBron James’ tattoos not only make a bold statement but also provide a glimpse into his personal and professional life. From tributes to his loved ones to symbols of strength and social activism, each tattoo represents a chapter in his life story. As LeBron continues to make his mark on and off the basketball court, his tattoos serve as a constant reminder of the values and experiences that have shaped him into the legendary figure he is today.

1. “Chosen 1” Tattoo

Across the top of his back, LeBron James has “Chosen 1” inked in large letters. This tattoo references LeBron’s first cover story in the 2002 February 18 issue of the famed sports magazine Sports Illustrated. As part of the article, LeBron was hailed as “The Chosen One,” a nickname he fully embraced. So much so that he decided to get it tattooed on his back.

2. “Beast” Tattoo

On his upper left arm, LeBron James has the word “Beast” tattooed. While there isn’t much information floating around about why he has this tattoo or when he got it, considering how much of a beast he is on the court, it’s probably got to do with his prowess with the ball.

The Los Angeles Laker also has the phrase “Hold My Own” tattooed below the word “Beast.”

3. “Witness” Tattoo

You may have noticed LeBron James has tattoos all over his body, including his legs. On his right calf is the word “Witness.” Why you ask? He got the tattoo after a successful run during the NBA playoffs in 2006, the first time the Cavs had made the finals since 1998.

Never one to look a gift horse in the mouth, shoemaker Nike used the word as part of a marketing campaign that included several successful commercials that no doubt help sold a few shoes.

4. “What We Do In Life Echos In Eternity” Tattoo

While he has admitted to being a big fan of The Godfather movies, it’s safe to say LeBron James also enjoys watching Russell Crowe’s Gladiator. On his right arm he has the words “What we do in life,” and on his left arm “Echos in eternity,” which is a famous quote from the historical epic.

Crowe’s Roman general Maximus Decimus Meridius prepares his troops for battle against the Germanic tribes with a spine-tingling speech that ends with him saying the line, “Brothers, what we do in life… echoes in eternity.” This obviously had an impact on LeBron, who decided to get the phrase tattooed on his body.

5. Lion With Crown Tattoo

Much like a lion, LeBron James is an apex predator who dominates all those he comes across. To reflect this, the four-time NBA Finals MVP has the head of a lion inked on his right bicep. This was the first arm tattoo LeBron got and one that he has added to over the years, getting the word “King” tattooed above the lion and the word “James” below, with King James also being one of the basketballer’s nicknames.

6. “303” Tattoo

Getting the area code of your hometown has become a thing these days. LeBron is one of many famous people to get this type of tattoo. His reads “303,” which is the area code of his hometown of Akron, Ohio.

Located on his right forearm, James got the tattoo sometime before his fourth season in the NBA.

7. “Gloria” Tattoo

LeBron credits his mom for much of his success, so it’s no surprise he has her name inked on his body. The tattoo is located just above the lion tattoo on his right arm.

8. Bronny James Portrait Tattoo

To celebrate the first birthday of his son Bronny James, the King got a portrait of his firstborn on the inside of his left forearm.

9. Bryce Maximus Tattoo

This is the name of LeBron’s second child who the NBA superstar has tattooed on his right forearm. Unlike his older brother Bronny, who LeBron got a portrait of, only Bryce’s name appears on his father’s body. Obviously not the favorite son then…

10. Initials Tattoo

The Lakers great has his own initials tattooed on his body. The letter “L” can be found on his left tricep and the letter “J” on his right tricep. It’s always a ballsy move to get your own initials inked on your body, but if you can live up to expectations like LeBron has, then it’s such a power move.

11. “Family” and “Loyalty” Tattoos

In what must have been a painful session at the tattoo parlor, LeBron James has the word “Family” running down the right side of his torso. On the left side, he has the word “Loyalty,” with both tatts written in the same font style.

It’s assumed these tattoos represent how much LeBron’s family means to him and the loyalty they have to each other.

12. “Est 1984” Tattoo

Getting a tattoo that celebrates your birthday is something LeBron shares with many ink loves. Mac Miller and Shia LaBeouf are two other well-known celebrities who also have their date of birth or the year they were born inked on them. LeBron’s is located on his left shoulder and reads “Est 1984.”

13. Lion Tattoo

Not content with having just the head of a lion, LeBron went all out and got an entire lion tattooed across his chest. But this isn’t any ordinary lion, as it has wings. In Christianity, Saint Mark is symbolized as a winged lion, with the image also a symbol of the city of Venice.

LeBron, a known Christian, most likely got this tattoo due to his faith, although there is a small section of conspiracy theorists who believe the tattoo is the symbol for the Boule Group, a secretive society of elite black men

14. “Akron” Tattoo

As well as having the area code of his city, James has his hometown, “Akron,” tattooed on his right shoulder. It’s a bold tattoo paying homage to the town where he grew up and became a star.

15. “History” Tattoo

Although he got this tattoo in 2010, four years after his “Witness” tattoo, it is inked in the same font and makes for a companion piece. It can be found on his left calf and is another tattoo referencing his greatness in the sport of basketball.

16. Kobe Bryant Tribute Tattoo

Kobe Bryant is another legendary basketballer whose life was tragically cut short on January 26, 2020, when he, his 13-year-old daughter Gianna, six family friends, and the pilot died in a helicopter crash. Bryant’s death shocked the world and the outpouring of grief from those that played with and against him was immense.

LeBron was one of many who admired Bryant and was lucky enough to be able to call him a friend. Just days after his passing he paid tribute to the Lakers legend with a tattoo of a black mamba, also the nickname of Bryant. The tattoo also includes the number 24, Braynt’s jersey number, along with the phrase “Mamba 4 Life.”

17. Birds Tattoo

There isn’t much known about this tattoo of a couple of birds LeBron has on his right bicep. It’s not one of his most widely known pieces of ink but is still an interesting addition to his collection of tattoos. He also has a tattoo of flames running up his right arm that has never been explained.

As supernatural activity rises, the Ghostbusters soon become famous and recruit Ernie Hudson’s Winston Zeddemore to help with the growing demand. When the group is shut down by Walter Peck of the Environmental Protection Agency and put in jail, Gozer the Gozerian, the ancient and evil god of destruction, rises to power, causing chaos across the city.

Finally understanding the severity of the situation, the city releases Ghostbusters from custody and allows then to do their thing, culminating in a showdown with a gigantic Stay Puft Marshmallow Man and Gozer himself.

A stone-cold classic, Ghostbusters was released to critical acclaim in 1984. Not only were movie reviewers enamored with the movie, but so too were cinema fans, with the supernatural comedy making a whopping $282.2 million during its initial theatrical run. The special effects for the time were incredible while Ray Parker Jr.’s theme song, “Ghostbusters,” topped the charts.

Director Rob Reiner plays documentary filmmaker Martin “Marty” Di Bergi who follows the band on their 1982 American tour, detailing all the drama and funny moments This Is Spinal Tap experience, such as struggling ticket sales, in-house fighting, problems with their Stonehenge stage set-up, and the hysterical ways the band’s drummers keep dying.

Comprising of David St Hubbins (Michael McKean) and Nigel Tufnel (Christopher Guest) on vocals and guitar, bassist Derek Smalls (Harry Shearer), keyboardist Viv Savage (David Kaff), and drummer Mick Shrimpton (R.J. Parnell), This Is Spinal Tap continually find themselves wrapped up in drama, usually of their own accord, leading to plenty of laughs.

The movie’s success is thanks to the clever and witty script by Guest, McKean, Shearer, and Reiner that pokes fun at the music industry–particularly the pretentious rock bands of the 80s–and is laden with funny quotes that have become part of pop culture and everyday conversation. The cast of supporting actors is also amazing, with the likes of Ed Begley Jr., Billy Crystal, Fran Drescher, Dana Carvey, Anjelica Huston, Fred Willard, and Paul Shaffer all making their presence felt.

Deemed by Jeremy Arnold as “effectively” launching the mockumentary genre of film in his 2016 book, The Essentials: 52 Must-See Movies and Why They Matter, This Is Spinal Tap is one of the great 80s comedies with some of the best movie quotes, as you will discover below.
