Everybody get it on that Arnold Schwarzenegger isthe kind of action starwho says something nerveless , funny , or just straight up mind - boggling either just before he kills a bad guy or just after he kills a bad guy . In the not - so - elusive art of the one - line drive , Schwarzenegger is Picasso . So much so that his lines are normally even more satisfying than the actual kill .
It can be tough to key the good of the better from a butt - kick career spanning well-nigh fifty years . But do n’t concern , we ’re here to help you . Here are our picks for Arnold Schwarzenegger ’s ten best one - line drive .
“See you at the party, Richter.”
An infamousArnieline fromTotal Recallfor no other literal reason than the fact that it ’s just such a bizarre thing to say after rip both of a humans ’s arms off . Obviously , it ’s referencing an earlier dialogue exchange but it ’s still an entertaining head - scratcher .
Usually , you ’d require something along the lines of thanking the spoilt cat for the hand(s ) or maybe even a joke about having the right to gestate arms . He could ’ve even high up - fived one of the hands . Anything , really , except “ See you at the party , Richter . ” It ’s sheer in how different it is and the confidence with which Schwarzenegger says it is emblematical of his world - pound authority . Schwarzenegger could say anything after killing a guy and make it sound coolheaded .
“Hey, Killian! Here is Subzero! Now… Plain Zero!”
What do you do when a maniacal prizefighter dressed as an Methedrine ice hockey player is trying to kill you ? This is the kind of interrogative sentence your average Schwarzenegger character would have to face on an one-year basis back in the80s . Of course , the resolution is that you strangle him with razor wire . But what do you say to the engrossed studio audience after you ’ve done it ? That one ’s not so easy .
The opponent ’s name was Subzero , so there ’s a lot of way for ice wordplay there . But this was a decennary before Schwarzenegger ’s role as Mr. Freeze inBatman & Robin , so he has nowhere near the peak of his game in that area . Under the circumstances , we think he did a pretty good occupation .
“Freeze in hell, Batman!”
Really , this one ’s instance of most to all of Schwarzenegger ’s lines fromBatman & Robin . Fans of the famously camp movie almost always list Schwarzenegger ’s performance and talks as one of their favorite thing about it , if not their most favorite . If you may think of a pun involving any word pertain to downhearted temperatures , so did the writers of that movie .
Other honorable reference admit : “ allow ’s kick some ice ” , “ Everybody , Chill ! ” and of form the groovy rhetorical question “ What killed the dinosaur ! ? THE ICE AGE ! ” However , after careful condition , we have to rate “ Freeze in hell , Batman ! ” as our top choice . It really epitomize how minuscule Schwarzenegger cared about looking cockamamie in that movie and it ’s frankly admirable .
“You’re fired.”
This one hail from the time when both Schwarzenegger and Hollywoodaction moviesin general had become whole self - aware . It ’s one of those lines that does n’t even really make horse sense , deal that the villain who he says it to never work for Schwarzenegger ’s character . NBC’sThe Apprenticewouldn’t go on the melody for another decennium and it would be another thirteen years after that before Schwarzeneggerwould host it .
Nonetheless , it ’s a jolly flawless one - liner to deliver to a bad hombre with a smirk on your human face in good order before you go off the projectile he ’s attached to . There ’s an elegance in simplicity sometimes .
“No sequel for you.”
speak of ego - cognisant Hollywood action movies from the early 1990s starring Arnold Schwarzenegger , Last natural process Herowas the mostmetaof them all . Via some actual Houdini magic , Schwarzenegger ’s all - action mechanism cop literally escapes from the movie blind to wreak havoc on Manhattan withCharles Dance ’s staggeringly underrated scoundrel .
Dance ’s baddie has a singular quirk in his character ’s false center , which keep modify throughout the movie into more and more nefarious designs . His party piece is one that doubles up as a tiny grenade and it leads to the one - ocean liner as Schwarzenegger prepares to quite literally blow it out of his head . As it would sprain out , none of them got a sequel but the line and the movie be on in the centre of fans .
“You are terminated.”
Fans hold back nearly twenty years to hear him say it in - fiber on the big screenland and Schwarzenegger is not one to disappoint . The line is really the crescendo of the whole movie and it ’s a suitable import , not just for buff but for any consultation member regardless of their noesis of the franchise .
It come up as the net moment of the main battle between the hunter and its targets . Having been good bested by yet an evennewer modelthan Schwarzenegger ’s illustrious T-800 , Arnie catches up to his opposition at the metaphoric goal line and the two become trapped beneath a closing blast door . Schwarzenegger delivers the line just after shove a nuclear power cell at once into the opponent Terminator ’s mouth . All in all , it make for one satisfy boom .
“You’re luggage.”
Well , what else are you supposed to say after pip an gator in the head ? See you later , alligator ? Too on the olfactory organ . After a while , crocodile ? Not emphatic enough and biologically incorrect . If it was from a Terminator movie , he could have said something like “ I ’m the alligator Terminator ” but that was n’t the case . The argument arise from Schwarzenegger ’s lesser - know , but stillcult - favourite , 1996 movieEraser .
All thing consider , this is the only real option and Schwarzenegger does n’t overthink it . The shorter 1 lean to have the most punch and anything more than two words would seem like a waste of breath considering that the opposer is already dead and never spoke English in the first position .
“Let off some steam, Bennett.”
If you ’re gon na say something after you hold a metal pipe into someone ’s venter , causing a steady jet of steam to billow out through it from the boiler behind them , then this really would be the obvious choice .
A lot of hoi polloi get tongue tied in important second . Everyone cognize that feeling of intellection of the perfect affair to say in the second about three hours after the present moment end . Not John Matrix . The original machismo commando , from the movieCommando , always has the best phrase lock and lade . He ’s so respectable at it that you distrust he might think them up in his spare sentence and just maintain them ready should the opportunity for aviolentdeath arise .
“Hey, Claudius. You killed my father. Big Mistake.”
What would peak action movie Arnold Schwarzenegger have been like in the rubric persona ofWilliam Shakespeare ’s Hamlet ? Well , thanks to a brief daydream sequence inLast Action Hero , you do n’t have to drop your life wondering .
Chomping on a trademark cigar while laying waste to the state of Denmark with an uzi submachine heavy weapon , Schwarzenegger ’s Hamlet ai n’t quite what you were instruct in school but that ’s for the best . It ’s pretty undeniable that , if this had been an satisfactory rootage ( or if Hamlet had just throw some more multitude through window ) , a lot more kids would have pay a raft more attending in English course .
“Stick around.”
There is just so much to love about John McTiernan ’s 1987sci - fiaction moviePredator . Even thediscarded ideasfor that motion picture have become industry legend . The concept , the tone of voice , the pacing , the special effect and the music were all running at point efficiency and so was its star , Arnold Schwarzenegger .
Unlike all of the other entries on this list , the phone line is n’t built up to in any kind of way . It ’s not the final payment for a cheering conclusion to some long - tend feud . It takes property in the midriff of an explosive battle after Schwarzenegger ’s part dispose a giant knife into an enemy , lodging them to the wooden beam behind them . It almost has the force of being completely improvize .
