I wish we could get a Hannibal version of this.

I really like that they had to space out the lines from Commando so they weren't just 5 minutes back-to-back.

Also, I was sick all day and I rewatched the Running Man for the first time in ages (meaning it's been at least six months), and I really love how totally hammy Arnold's delivery is on all the one liners. "Here is Subzero, now plain zero." It's like they went out of their way to make the delivery even campier than usual.

"Tonight, Richter, there will be a party! And I will go there! And I hope you got your invitation, Richter, so you too can go to the party! And I will already be there! And there, Richter, at the party, I will see YOU!"

So much Arnold! So much Bond! Surprisingly little Eastwood.

There was plenty of Eastwood in the "Before the Kill" clipshow. I guess he's not a fan of chatting with corpses.

Chairs, yes, but not corpses.

Whoa! Was there like a really hard R director's cut of Good Will Hunting that I missed somehow?

That's from "Good Will Hunting 2"

It's weird, but having watched both videos, it strikes me that the lines before the kill seem less clunky and more real than the ones after. And they screwed up the one from Goldfinger. It's supposed to be "Shocking. Positively shocking." You can't leave off the second part.

Yeah - I remember walking out of the theater after seeing Spectre, and thinking that this was the first Bond film I had seen w/o the end of kill one-liners. They were sorely missed.

Well, considering they went with one of the most inspired pieces of casting with Richard Dawson, no surprise!

I watched this video in breathless anticipation of the "SEE YOU AT THE PARTY, RICHTER" line, mentally preparing the stern letter to the editor I'd write if said line did not appear.

The clip from Angels With Dirty Faces, "Keep the change you filthy animal!" wasn't pulled directly from the film, but from the lengthy quote it gets in Home Alone. I mean, as long as you're doing that you might as well show the second time it's played, with Macaulay Culkin mouthing the line. I had no idea his name was Macaulay Carson Culkin.

Was there some rule on the Bond films that the scriptwriter wasn't allowed to spend more than five minutes on the post-kill quip? There was just way too much Bond in this selection, surely there must have been some more Van Damme, Lundgren, etc from the Golden Age?

Has anyone done the science as to how hard you would have to throw a large bore pipe to get it to go right through someone?

Having just watched it yesterday, I can confirm that he delivers a fantastic performance. It's a really good movie.

Also, I just noticed the tags - nicely done, foop.

I feel like Die Hard's welcome to the party, pal deserved to be in there even if it was being delivered to Al rather than the corpse that John threw on his car. Particularly since we'd just seen the corpse being made.

I am flat-out astonished at how many of those movies I have seen. I think there's less than 10 I haven't watched. I guess it helps that it seems like 80 of them were Bond films.

Yeah, McClane is 100% welcoming Powell to the party, not the German he threw onto the car.

I did not mean to imply it was ambiguous, only that I thought it should have gone in anyway. After all, about a quarter of the quips included were someone speaking the lines to someone else ("I let him go") rather than the now-dead person. But perhaps they're saving it for the next collection, after the fall. It could go next to "I sure hope that wasn't a hostage."

Man, I was unreasonably pleased to see "Shoot Em' Up" on that list.

It never would have occurred to me to have the characters in a love scene and an action/gunfight sequence SIMULTANEOUSLY in the movie.

Yet they went there.

Damn fun movie.

Too bad Flannery O'Connor's A Good Man Is Hard to Find never got made into a movie, because I doubt very many directors would have been able to resist the Misfit's line after he kills the grandmother:

She would of been a good woman, if it had been somebody there to shoot her every minute of her life.

IMO, the greatest moment in "Running Man" isn't pre-kill or post-kill, it's when Arnold is about to be sent out to the killing field and hoe does his signature line "I'll be back", to which Richard Dawson replies (after a moment of hesitation) "Only in a rerun."

Ohhh, boy, I'd forgotten this bit! I think we all need to get together at my house and watch this again. Preceded by a few classic Family Feud episodes to warm us up, of course.

Oddly enough, the "special edition" of Army of Darkness inexplicably replaces "Good, bad, I'm the guy with the gun." with "I'm not that good."

Does anyone know which TV show/Movie Bruce Willis does the "He's not going to the hat convention this year" comes from?

Nevermind, it was "Hudson Hawk." Huh, didn't remember that scene.
