Commonly Quoted Movies

[ThorntonOL]

I've been looking through back posts and topics and haven't seen one that mentioned this sort of topic. (So far)
I've heard Star Wars, Monty Python and Major Payne quoted alot and heard some good imitations.
Any others that are commonly quoted or imitated?

[JohnKachenmeister]

Stripes.  That's a fact, Jack!

Col. Nathan Jessup, A Few Good Men:
Son, we live in a world that has walls. And those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives...You don't want the truth. Because deep down, in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall. You need me on that wall.

We use words like honor, code, loyalty...we use these words as the backbone to a life spent defending something. You use 'em as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then questions the manner in which I provide it! I'd rather you just said thank you and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a [darn] what you think you're entitled to!


Mel Gibson as Lt. Col. Hal Moore, We Were Soldiers
Look around you. In the 7th cavalry, we've got a captain from the Ukraine; another from Puerto Rico. We've got Japanese, Chinese, Blacks, Hispanics, Cherokee Indians. Jews and Gentiles. All Americans. Now here in the states, some of you in this unit may have experienced discrimination because of race or creed. But for you and me now, all that is gone. We're moving into the valley of the shadow of death, where you will watch the back of the man next to you, as he will watch yours. And you won't care what color he is, or by what name he calls God. They say we're leaving home. We're going to what home was always supposed to be. Now let us understand the situation. We are going into battle against a tough and determined enemy.

Dr. Peter Venkman, Ghostbusters
Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!

Captain Queeg, The Caine Mutiny
Ahh, but the strawberries that's... that's where I had them. They laughed at me and made jokes but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt and with... geometric logic... that a duplicate key to the wardroom icebox DID exist, and I'd have produced that key if they hadn't of pulled the Caine out of action. I, I, I know now they were only trying to protect some fellow officers...
(Heh, after several rounds of cadets sneaking food back to the compartments this Spring, I got to feeling a little like Queeg and his strawberries, myself.)

Top Gun:

I Feel the need, the need for speed!!

The Last Castle:

What should stop me from putting you in the hole, for say oh' six months?

Nothing, if that's how you want to win.....

Ronin:

You trying to save your skin?

Yeah, it covers my body.

John Winger: "We're all very different people. We're not Watusi, we're not Spartans, we're Americans. With a capital "A", huh? And you know what that means? Do you? That means that our forefathers were kicked out of every decent country in the world. We are the wretched refuse. We're the underdog. We're mutts."

Some classics from Dr. Strangelove: Or How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb:

From Maj T.J. 'King' Kong (Slim Pickens):

"Well, I've been to one world fair, a picnic, and a rodeo, and that's the stupidest thing I ever heard come over a set of earphones. You sure you got today's codes?"

"Well, boys, I reckon this is it - nu-cu-lear combat, toe to toe with the Rooskies"

"Survival kit contents check. In them you'll find: one forty-five caliber automatic; two boxes of ammunition; four days' concentrated emergency rations; one drug issue containing antibiotics, morphine, vitamin pills, pep pills, sleeping pills, tranquilizer pills; one miniature combination Russian phrase book and Bible; one hundred dollars in rubles; one hundred dollars in gold; nine packs of chewing gum; one issue of prophylactics; three lipsticks; three pair of nylon stockings. Shoot, a fella' could have a pretty good weekend in Dallas Vegas with all that stuff!"

"Well, boys, we got three engines out, we got more holes in us than a horse trader's mule, the radio is gone and we're leaking fuel and if we was flying any lower why we'd need sleigh bells on this thing... but we got one little budge on them Rooskies. At this height why they might harpoon us but they dang sure ain't gonna spot us on no radar screen!"

"Stay on the bomb run, boys! I'm gonna get them doors open if it harelips ever'body on Bear Creek! "

From Brig Gen Jack D. Ripper (Sterling Hayden):

"I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids."

"Mandrake, have you ever seen a Commie drink a glass of water? [Mandrake: Well, no, I can't say I have.] On no account will a Commie ever drink water. And not without good reason."

Gp Capt Lionel Mandrake, DFC, RAF (Peter Sellers) and Col 'Bat' Guano (Keenan Wynn):

Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: "Colonel! Colonel, I must know what you think has been going on here!"
Colonel "Bat" Guano: "You wanna know what I think?"
Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: "Yes!"
Colonel "Bat" Guano: "I think you're some kind of deviated prevert. I think General Ripper found out about your preversion, and that you were organizing some kind of mutiny of preverts. Now MOVE!"

You can pull an endless stream of quotes outta this film...

Gary Busey as General Joe Wheeler inRough Riders

"Them damyankee Spanish Mausers are hard to find, but we are finding them, we are killing them and we are advancing!"

"I shoulda killed that SOB long ago to keep him from breeding."

"Don't stand here on ceremony son, go on and kick 'em in the teeth!"

Full Metal Jacket, the most-quoted movie in the CAP cadet program going back to the late 80's. I know because I was there!

So, I can see that this thread has turned into a random quote thread as opposed to quotes found in your average CAP Talk posts.

Fair warning.

Yeah, I don't think he meant just on CAPTalk, but in general.


As for me, I've been asking for a "liter-a-cola" quite a bit at sonic lately.

I think so... These kinds of topics aren't much more than post count padding anyway.

How about the whole line from chucknorrisfacts.com?

"When the Boogeyman goes to sleep every night, he checks his closet for Chuck Norris."

"There is no theory of evolution. Just a list of creatures Chuck Norris has allowed to live."

OH yeah.......

[Major Carrales]

To follow MIKE's advice...

It would seem that most CAPTALKERS are fans of the following film series...

1) Star Wars (mostly the Classic Trilogy)- Especially in the uniform threads and during the last major "issue" we had.

2) Star Trek- Lots of TOS, especially Star Trek II:TWOK.  Still some TNG points make it.

3) 80s movies- Stripes, War Games et al.

4) Monty Python- Both original watchers and more youthful watchers

5) Forrest Gump- "That's my boat"

That's a good top five.

[Johnny Yuma]

It wouls seem that most CAPTALKERS are fans of the following film series...


4) Monty Python- Both original watchers and more youthful watchers

You haven't lived until you've seen an entire flight at an encampment chanting and the self flagelation (whacking themselves in the head with an encampment manual) while marching to chow just like the monks in The Holy Grail

Then there was the taunting other flights using the French soldier's insults.

"Your mother was a hamster..."

I don't think it is so much that we are "Fans" of any particular movie or group of movies, but certain movies create shared cultural experiences.  In CAP, the cross-generational shared cultural experience of movies like "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" are particularly valuable.  They serve as a bond between folks in the same way that the salute and some of our military traditions do.

Some other quotes:

- You ain't seen nothin' yet!

- Here's lookin' at you, Kid!

- Play it again, Sam.  (Although this line is NOT in the movie.  He is speaking to Sam, but does not use his name.)

- Round up the usual suspects.

-  Nobody ever won a war by dying for his country.  You win a war by making the other poor, dumb SOB die for HIS country.

- Gentlemen, you cannot fight in here... this is the War Room!

- Do you want us to call in the police artist?

- Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life.

I'll bet even the cadets have heard these lines at one time or another, although they probably can't name what movies they are from.  (Or... didn't know they were from movies at all!)

"Just like fryin' chickens in the barnyard!"

I really need to give that movie another viewing soon.

From the BEST Movie of ALL TIME.......SpongeBob!

SpongeBob SquarePants: Take it easy, friend, I'm the manager of this establishment. Everything's gonna be just fine.
Phil: I'm really scared here, man.
SpongeBob SquarePants: You got a name?
Phil: Phil
SpongeBob SquarePants: You got a family Phil?
Phil: [can't speak, too scared]
SpongeBob SquarePants: [snapping his fingers] Come on Phil, stay with me, lets hear about that family!
Phil: I got a wife, and two beautiful children
SpongeBob SquarePants: Thats what it's all about. I want you to do me a favour Phil.
Phil: What?
SpongeBob SquarePants: Say cheese.
[Slowly places the cheese in the Krabby Patty while a sound like a heartrate monitor starts speeding up in the backround]
SpongeBob SquarePants: [after coming out of the Krusty Krab restaurant with the now smiling Phil holding a Krabby Patty with cheese] Order Up!

Dirty Harry

Harry Callahan: I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

Magnum Force

Harry Callahan: "A man's got to know his limitations."

Lieutenant Briggs: Suppose they panic and start shooting?
Harry Callahan: Nothing wrong with shooting as long as the right people get shot!

Harry Callahan: I didn't start shooting at anyone that didn't start shooting at me first.

Sudden Impact

Harry Callahan: Go ahead, make my day.

One of my favorite lines comes from The Princess Bride:

"You keep using that word.  I do not think it means what you think it means."

That ought to be applicable to more than a few folks in CAP.

[ThorntonOL]

I know some of these have been quoted at CAP by someone, Now are all of these been quoted at a CAP event or meeting night, or has this degraded into just movie quotes?

Frankly My Dear, I don't give a d***

[ThorntonOL]

Where is this Doctor quote from, has it been quoted at CAP more than four or five times?

Please limit it to quotes that have become almost a tradtion in your squadron, group, wing, or encampment/bivouac.

[mikeylikey]

Please limit it to quotes that have become almost a tradition in your squadron, group, wing, or encampment/bivouac.

Perhaps you need a Netflix or Blockbuster account.  Go out and see some movies and start your own traditions.

Anyway......most of the time it is Cadets repeating stupid one liners from movies.  Last year I was like "where the hell did you hear that from"?  And they were like "oh it's from Superbad". 

So here is one from "Superbad".......... "I am McLovin"

[lordmonar]

A sparrow you say?  What kind of Sparrow?

Swallow.

What do you mean?  African or European?

WIWAC:

"It's 106 miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses."

Usually quoted when starting another 3:00am ELT mission.


The following were often used during SAREXes:

"We're on a mission from God"

"It's got a cop motor: a 440 cubic inch plant. It's got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas. What do you say, is this the new Bluesmobile, or what?"

[Psicorp]

One of my favorite lines comes from The Princess Bride:
"You keep using that word.  I do not think it means what you think it means."
That ought to be applicable to more than a few folks in CAP.

And

"Let me explain.  No there is too much. Let me sum up."

"I mean, if we only had a wheelbarrow, that would be something."
"Where did we put that wheelbarror the albino had?"
"Why didn't you list that among out assets in the first place?"

"What about the R.O.U.S's?"
"Rodents of unusual size?  I don't think they exist."

"Surrender!"
"You wish to surrender to me? Very well, I accept."

[Psicorp]

From encampment last year:

"NOBODY expects the CLS Inspection!
Our chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise....
Our two weapons are fear and surprise... and ruthless efficiency....
Our three weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency...
and an almost fanatical devotion to the Regulations....
Our four... no...Amongst our weapons... Amongst our weaponry...
are such elements as fear, surprise...I'll come in again."
