Best Use of Profanity in a Movie Line

SSJPhenom

The Phenom of WZ
I just read a list of some of the best movie quotes of all time and, IMO, the list left off a lot of classic lines. I thought that it might've been because some of the ones I was thinking of have curse words in them. So I got to thinking (never a good idea); what would be people's opinions of the best use of profanity in a Movie line or quote? It can be any type of profanity.

This should be fun.

My pick is, IMO, not just a great use of profanity in a Movie but one of the most iconic and badass lines of any film to date. It is:

"Some motha fuckas are always trying to ice skate up hill." - Blade.

This line capped off what was a great action sequence and it showed how much of a badass Blade was. Snipe's delivery didn't hurt either. I've debated with my friends many times over about it's meaning. IMO, it meant that Frost was trying to do something he knew he couldn't. I've never tried to ice skate up hill, but it sounds damn near impossible. This is one of my favorite lines of any movie.

What's yours?
 
Harry, receiving upsetting news over the telephone, begins smashing the phone repeatedly. His wife enters.

"Harry.... Harry!"
"What?"
"It's an inanimate fucking object."
"YOU'RE AN INANIMATE FUCKING OBJECT!"


-In Bruges

Dark Helmet: Careful you idiot!! I said across her nose, not up it!!
Laser Gunner: Sorry sir!! I'm doing my best!!
Dark Helmet: Who made that man a gunner??
Major @$$hole: I did sir. He's my cousin.
Dark Helmet: Who is he??
Colonel Sandurz: He's an @$$hole sir.
Dark Helmet: I know that!! What's his name??
Colonel Sandurz: That is his name sir. @$$hole, Major @$$hole!!
Dark Helmet: And his cousin??
Colonel Sandurz: He's an @$$hole too sir. Gunner's mate First Class Philip @$$hole!!
Dark Helmet: How many @$$holes do we have on this ship, anyway??
[Entire bridge crew stands up and raises a hand]
Entire Bridge Crew: Yo!!
Dark Helmet: I knew it. I'm surrounded by @$$holes!!
[Dark Helmet pulls his face shield down]
Dark Helmet: Keep firing, @$$holes!!
 
I can definitely relate to this exchange from Planes Trains and Automobiles:

Car Rental Agent: How may I help you?

Steve Martin: You can start by wiping that fucking dumbass smile off your rosy fucking cheeks. Then you can get me a fucking automobile. A fucking Datsun, a fucking Toyota, a fucking Mustang, a fucking Buick, four fucking wheels and a seat!

Car Rental Agent: I really don't care for the way you're speaking to me.

Steve Martin: And I really don't care for the way your company left me in the middle of fucking nowhere with fucking keys to a fucking car that isn't fucking there. And I really didn't care to fucking walk down a fucking highway and across a fucking runway to get back here to have you smile at my fucking face. I want a fucking car...right...fucking...now.
 
Idk how I forgot about this one, but allow me to set the scene for everyone:

A teenage girl is watching a talk show on an older TV that's mounted on a wall. It's not too high up on the wall, it's just a little taller than the girl. She's rather close to the TV and she appears to be entertained. She's wanted to be an actress on TV for some time now. All of a sudden an arm flies out from each side of the TV and they pick the girl up as a head sprouts out from the top of the TV. The head says to the girl, "This is it Jennifer, your big break in TV. Welcome to primetime, bitch", as her head is smashed through the TV screen. - Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors

This was the line that made Freddy Krueger one of the most popular slashers of all time. I love this line.
 
"My $2000 ceramic Vektor my mother got me as a special gift. You threw in the lake next to the car. What happens when they drag the lake? You think they'll find my pistol. Jesus. Look up "idiot" in the dictionary. You know what you'll find?"
"A picture of me?"
"No! The definition of the word idiot, which you fucking are!"

-Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
 
Then there's the greatest movie speech of all the times:

Brett: [to Jules] Look, I'm sorry, I-I didn't get your name. I got yours, uh, Vincent, right? But-But I-I never got your...

Jules: My name is Pitt, and your ass ain't talking your way outta this shit.

Brett: [rising] No, no, no. I just want you to know how –
[Jules motions him to sit down] I just want you to know how sorry we are that-that things got so fucked up with us and-and Mr. Wallace. I-I-It...we-we got into this thing with the best intentions. Really. I never...

[Jules shoots Roger, Brett recoils in horror]

Jules: Oh, I'm sorry. Did I break your concentration? I didn't mean to do that. Please, continue. You were sayin' something about "best intentions"? [silence] What's the matter? Oh, y-you were finished? Oh, well, allow me to retort. What does Marsellus Wallace look like?

Brett: ..What?

Jules: [throws the small table in the room] What country are you from!?

Brett: Wha-what?

Jules: "What" ain't no country I ever heard of! They speak English in "What"!?

Brett: What?

Jules: English, motherfucker! Do you speak it!?

Brett: Yes!!

Jules: Then you know what I'm saying!

Brett: Yes..!

Jules: Describe what Marsellus Wallace looks like!!

Brett: Wha-what I—?

Jules: [points gun directly in Brett's face] Say "what" again! SAY "what" again! I dare you! I double-dare you, motherfucker! Say "what" one more goddamn time!

Brett: H-H-He's black...

Jules: Go on!

Brett: ...He's bald...!

Jules: Does he look like a bitch?

Brett: What? [Jules shoots Brett in the shoulder] AGHH!! Anh..!!

Jules: DOES—HE—LOOK... LIKE—A BITCH!!?

Brett: NOHH!!

Jules: Then why'd you try to fuck 'im like a bitch, Brett?

Brett: I didn't...!

Jules: Yes, you did! YES, you DID, Brett! You tried to fuck him.

Brett: No... no....

Jules But Marsellus Wallace don't like to be fucked by anybody except Mrs. Wallace. You read the Bible, Brett?

Brett: [gasping for breath] Yes...!

Jules: Well, there's this passage I've got memorized, it sorta fits the occasion. Ezekiel 25:17? "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who in the name of charity and good will shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. [begins pacing about the room] And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord... [pulls out his gun and aims at Brett] ...when I lay my vengeance upon thee."
[Brett shrieks in horror as Jules and Vincent shoot him repeatedly]
-Pulp Fiction

Greatest scene ever!!!
 
Sticking with Tarantino and Samuel L. Jackson.

"AK-47. The very best there is. When you absolutely-positutely got to kill every motherfucker in the room. Accept no substitute."

From Jackie Brown.
 
Mine's in Wimbledon when he walks out Peter Colt walks out and says "Fuck a duck."

It's just brilliantly British. He's not favourite, he shouldn't even be in the final and he's somehow ended up with Kirsten Dunst and now he's shocked by the response the fans are giving him. Simple, brilliant.
 
Pineapple Express has some pretty good ones.

My favorite is when Danny McBride attacks Seth Rogen and James Franco chokes on his bong hit and shouts "Holy Cock!!"

Also when Ken Jeong throws the bomb and exclaims "You killed-a my brother. Suck-a my balls! Two Times!"

And course Danny McBride with "You just got killed by a Daewoo Lanos, muthafucka!"
 
It's probably one of the many, many instances in The Big Lebowski. It's unclear if it's still the second sweariest movie of all time, or if that title was every anything more than a myth, and it's difficult to remember what the first sweariest was. Full Metal Jacket, or maybe South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut?

The fucking short version of The Big Lebowski is always worth a watch, provided you've seen the original version first:

Alternatively, Malcom Tucker's "You are a boring eff-star-star-cunt" is a personal favourite:

That video about summarises Anglo-American relations for me.
 
This is my favourite movie monologue. I know every word off by heart. Denzel's intensity, passion and delivery in this speech is just legendary. There are other great one liners/speeches containing profanity from Denzel in Training Day.

Here's a great sales pitch on "pussy" from Cheech Marin in From Dusk Till Dawn.

[youtube]Wup1cEdgOWs[/youtube]

This is the funniest opening scene in a movie I've ever watched. What's even more amazing is that R. Lee Ermey ad-libbed this scene.

[youtube]3j3_iPskjxk[/youtube]

This scene is one of the many examples of Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor's genius. Pryor's delivery of the "F" word is so hilarious.

[youtube]p3SpyVcsxAI[/youtube]

You could really pick any Samuel L Jackson scene where he's using profanity. This is one of them.

"He didn't say Jesus, he said "Hey Zeus!". My name is Zeus."

"Zeus?"

"Yeah, Zeus. As in father of Apollo, Mount Olympus, don't fuck with me or I'll shove a lightning bolt up your ass...Zeus! You got a problem with that?!?!"

[youtube]BquyQj8TX_w[/youtube]

White Men Can't Jump is full of hilarious profanity, trash talking and jokes.

[youtube]t7DgbPjFOfY[/youtube]

This speech about people being "dicks", "*****es" and "assholes" is gross and funny.

I'm thinking Goodfellas. Pretty sure it still has the record for the use of "fuck" in various forms.

Anyway, I'm going with one of my all time favorite movies growing up. I still have this entire scene memorized.

Speaking of scenes that are completely memorized, I'm pretty sure that I have most Monty Python movies entirely memorized word for word.

This scene especially:

I know this isn't technically from a movie but it's funny as hell.

For those that don't watch it, you're missing out but I'll explain.

Freeza punches through one of his minions stomach and before that minion dies; he looks back at Freeza and says: "Lord Freeza..........The fuck!?"

It's hilarious.
 
One of my favorites comes from Reservoir Dogs after Mr. Orange kills Mr. Blonde, and Nice Guy Eddie kills Marvin (the cop). Nice Guy wasn't buying Orange's story about Blonde's plans to run off with all the diamonds after he murdered Mr. White, Mr. Pink, and Eddie himself. The bulging eyes and that look of rage on Chris Penn's face is something to remember, because Nice Guy knew Mr. Orange was full of shit:

Nice Guy Eddie: The man you just killed was just released from prison. He got caught at a company warehouse full of hot items. He could've fuckin' walked. All he had to do was say my dad's name, but he didn't; he kept his fucking mouth shut. And did his fuckin' time, and he did it like a man. He did four years for us. So, Mr. Orange, you're tellin' me this very good friend of mine, who did four years for my father, who in four years never made a deal, no matter what they dangled in front of him, you're telling me that now, that now this man is free, and we're making good on our commitment to him, he's just gonna decide, out of the fucking blue, to rip us off? Why don't you tell me what really happened?
 
The best ones for me are...

Ryan Reynolds giving probably the best movie line in history... Parker Posey's face kind gives this away as an adlib...

[YOUTUBE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dy7kb5ABsyk[/YOUTUBE]

The In Bruges one is definitely up there...

X-Men First Class was spectacular for this use of profanity... it was unexpected but perfect to finally see the Logan we all wanted to see, even for a second.

[YOUTUBE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFGmC8m0kIo[/YOUTUBE]

Still the most freaky line... took me a while to realise it was the guy she killed talking... who actually died right after filming in real life...

As an old movie fan, there's only one option for me.

[youtube]PAqxWa9Rbe0[/youtube]

It's so perfect as Rhett Butler has absolutely had it with Scarlett O'Hara and all of her ridiculous drama. She might love him now but he's WAY past caring about anything she says to him. How cool is it to have her whine again about what's going to happen to her and then have him respond that way before walking into the fog? It's an amazing quote, visual and ending to a movie.
 
I dunno...for me, I'd probably have to go with some of Marsellus Wallace's dialogue in Pulp Fiction.

One of them that stands out for me is when he's instructing Butch, Bruce Willis' character, on taking a dive in a fight he has coming up in which he says:

"The night of the fight, you may feel a slight sting. That's pride fuckin' with you. Fuck pride. Pride only hurts, it never helps. You see, this profession is filled to the brim with unrealistic motherfuckers. Motherfuckers who thought their ass would age like wine. If you mean it turns to vinegar, it does. If you mean it gets better with age, it don't."

Another memorable quote for me is when Butch double crosses him and doesn't throw the fight and Marsellus is reeling from being screwed over:

" I'm prepared to scour the the Earth for that motherfucker. If Butch goes to Indochina, I want a ***** hidin' in a bowl of rice ready to pop a cap in his ass."

Of course, my all time favorite is when he's ultimately rescued in the middle of getting raped in the basement of the pawn shop he & Butch ultimately fight into and after he's already shot one of them with a shotgun:

Butch: "You okay?"
Marsellus: "Naw man....I'm pretty fuckin' far from okay."
Butch: "What now?"
Marsellus: What now? Let me tell you what now. I'ma call a coupla hard, pipe-hittin' *****s who'll go to work on the homes here with a pair of pliers and a blow torch. You hear me talkin', hillbilly boy?!?!?!? I ain't through with you by a damn sight, I'ma get medieval on your ass!!!"
 
Idk how I forgot about this little gem of a movie. It has a treasure chest full of great profanity ridden quotes. For example:

All right, pussy, pussy, pussy! Come on in pussy lovers! Here at the Titty Twister we're slashing pussy in half! Give us an offer on our vast selection of pussy, this is a pussy blow out! All right, we got white pussy, black pussy, Spanish pussy, yellow pussy, we got hot pussy, cold pussy, we got wet pussy, we got [sniffs] smelly pussy, we got hairy pussy, bloody pussy, we got snappin' pussy, we got silk pussy, velvet pussy, Naugahyde pussy, we even got horse pussy, dog pussy, chicken pussy! Come on, you want pussy, come on in, pussy lovers! If we don't got it, you don't want it! Come on in, pussy lovers!

Attention pussy shoppers! Take advantage of our penny pussy sale! If you buy one piece of pussy at the regular price, you get another piece of pussy of equal or lesser value for only a penny! Try and beat pussy for a penny! If you can find cheaper pussy anywhere else, fuck it!

Then there's:

Did they look like psychos? Is that what they looked like? They were vampires. Psychos do not explode when sunlight hits them, I don't give a fuck how crazy they are!

And:

They were Vampires and I don't want to hear anything about "I don't believe in vampires" because *I* don't fucking believe in vampires, but I believe in my own two eyes, and what *I* saw is fucking vampires!


-From Dusk Till Dawn
 
If you've heard of Way of the Gun, you probably know the line I'm going to mention. There are few lesser known films that are so strongly associated with a single profanity strewn threat than this:



"Shut that cunt's mouth or I'll come over there and fuckstart her head"

Sociopathy, misogyny, violence and tension, all in 4 seconds from Phillipe's character's mouth. If only the rest of the film had been as succinct.

As a bonus, here's the scene it came from for sake of context:

 
Here's another classic from an otherwise unknown movie. At least in the white community...

Keep your money. You just get that sucker to the designated place at the designated time, and I will gladly designate his ass… for dismemberment!

-The Last Dragon
