OK......

Anyone got any favourite wince inducing lines from films?

Stuff that probably made sense when the script writer wrote it in a booze fuelled frenzy at 3am on the first day of principal photography?

Here are my favourites off the top of my head :

'We will be at my father's house by nightfall' - Kevin Costner as Robin Hood, about to embark on his Dover to Nottingham in 1 day on foot trip in 'Prince of Theives'.

"Do you know what happens to toads when they're STRUCK BY LIGHTNING...? Same thing that happens to everything else..."- X Men (I think)

"Yonder is the castle of my father" - Tony Curtis in a Brooklyn accent in 'The Black Shield of Falworth'.

And the possibly apocryphal.....

"Men, tomorrow begins the hundred years war!"

"let's get out of here" - most overused phrase in film history.

"Do not mock the gods" -Troy



"I cannot be killed by no man"-Witch King

"I am no man" Eowyrn -LOTR

Oh and just about every line from james bond

Another example of the above:

Any 2nd World War film that contains a German soldier called Hans on sentry duty, talking to his mate about how after ze war he's going to open a nice little garage in Munich ........ you know that any second now he's going to be viciously cut down by Clint Eastwood or Charles Bronson!!

The most cringeworthy and embarrasing bit of acting has to be the bit in Star Wars Episode II Attack of the clones When - the now, older and more amorous Anakin is sat with Princess Amidala by the fire telling her how much he loves her!!!!!

EEEEEUUUUGGGGGGHHH !! :gag: And he's gonna be Darth Vader!!?? the all time coolest villain ever! Get real.:suspect:
