Worst Movie Dialogue Ever?
'X-Men' and 'Sin City' nominated for worst lines in film history
EW.com recently ranked the "15 Nominees For Worst Movie Dialogue Ever," and a trio of films near and dear to science-fiction and comics fans made the list.
Among the 15 lines of dialogue, the much-maligned piece of dialogue offered up by Storm (Halle Berry) in "X-Men" to Toad (Ray Park):
'You know what happens when a toad gets struck by lightning? The same thing that happens to everything else.''
Also on the list are two lines of dialogue that were meant to be romantic, but ended up just sounding silly: One of the many ill-scripted romantic moments between Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) and Amidala (Natalie Portman) during "Star Wars - Episode III: Revenge of the Sith", and a moment shared between two violence-prone lovers in the big-screen adaptation of Frank Miller's Sin City.
Personally, I'm shocked by the absence of MY choice for worst line of dialogue in film history.
Does anyone remember the brilliant observation made by vampire-killer Blade (Wesley Snipes) upon vanquishing the villain of the first film? In case you subconsciously willed yourself to forget it, here it is:
"Some motherf*ckers is always trying to iceskate uphill."
Beat THAT, EW.com.

The absolute worst line of movie dialogue that I've ever heard was uttered by poor Brandon Lee in one of his first movies, a buddy cop movie where he plays second fiddle to Dolph Lungren. Showdown in Little Tokyo I believe.
Dolph is in a hot tub with the resiquite hot chick, Brandon comes busting in with the news that they have to hurry off after the bad guy, whereupon Dolph stands up and Brandon stares and says a line horrible on many, many levels -
"That is the largest penis I have ever seen on a man."

I suspect he was contrasting with another animal and not referring to the other gender.

I don't know Patrick, so I'm guessing, but I think he also meant that people would think Brandon is gay.

I happen to *like* Storm's line.
Kurt Russell to Sylvester Stallone (after they have both drawn guns, in "Tango & Cash"):
Russell: Hopw cpome yours is bigger?
Stallone: Genetics.

"You complete me." As spoken by Tom Cruise (#4)
No, Tom, what would complete you is a lobotomy.

Okay, the only one of all these movies I've seen was Love Story and yes, it was sappy.

And just think - the guy is inspired by a combination of Al Gore and Tommy Lee Jones...

LOL Guess what? I got a reply notification email!
