In your own humble opinion, what would you say that the worst movie quote line you have ever heard?

one of mine would probably have to be in Soldier.

"so what are going to?"

"i am going to kill them all sir"

or pretty much any Arnold Scwarzneggar action flick. Especially his infamous role in Batman,

"Chill out!" ugh that was a bad one!

Worst line:

Flinstones in viva rock vegas... ALL OF THEM!!
No actually it would be right at the beginning when the universal letters pass by and the martian says "did anyone see those letters fly by?"

The letters flying by was the best part of the Flintstones!

Here are a couple of gems from X-Men (It's now been 24 hours after seeing the movie, so I hope I got the wording correct):

How are we you going to find her?
The traditional way -- Look!

Know what happens to a toad that hits by lightning? (pause) The same thing that happens to everything else!

In my opinion, the worst lines in movies are the "title lines".

Examples:
"It's an Executive Decision now."
"We've got ourselves a Broken Arrow"
"It's not mission difficult Mr. Hunt, it's Mission Impossible."
"Dad, it's The Faculty."
"It's The Perfect Storm."

Yup, nothing like reminding the audience they are watching a movie with it's title.

I agree with Brad about the title being used in a line, especially if it seems like they had to force it in there unnaturally.

I just saw X-Men again and here is another bad one-liner:

"Are you sure you saw what you saw?"

I thought it was "We just rolled up a snowball and tossed it into hell. Now we'll see what chance it has." Wow. What a line. But I think I've got one that's worse.

How's THIS for a BAD one liner?

Speaking of films where they use the title in the film over and over again... what about BATMAN... I mean we all know who he is... do they have to keep announcing hes here... I mean is there someone ELSE running around in rubber suits that have more muscle than the actor inside it?

Mary Elizabeth Matrontonio:"Billy!! Billy!! You're heading right for the middle of the monster!"
Boy did that one make me laugh.
"do you know what happens to a toad..."
second worst. Even though I really enjoyed that film tremendously. Maybe Halle begged for a one liner?

How about these?

"You're the rocketman." -- The Rock.

"You don't put on a condom unless you're willing to f**k!" -- Crimson Tide.

"Put the bunny down." -- Con Air.

It's easy to pick bad one liners from any Jerry Bruckheimer movie (except Beverly Hills Cop).
