20 Best Bad-Ass Film Quotes Of 2012

Ted Narrator (Patrick Stewart) €“ Ted Some will say that Ted himself should have been on this list €“ and his profane lines were indeed some of the most quotable of the year, but his comedy worked more in the situation and the stand-out comic line went to unseen narrator (and American Dad voice actor) Patrick Stewart who delivered his lines with his usual engaging power. And when he digressed to give his thoughts on a particular US military vehicle, the effect was brilliant and hugely funny in a film full of laughs. 6. €œIt is not the violence that sets men apart. It is the distance that he is prepared to go. Jack, look at me. We are survivors. We control the fear. But without the fear, we are all as good as dead.€ - Forrest Bondurant (Tom Hardy) €“ Lawless He didn't say much, with his Dark Knight Rises frame shrouded in a maternal feeling €“ and it transpired, wholly appropriate €“ cardigan but the hulking figure of Forrest Bondurant was one of the greatest character creations of the year in the vastly underrated Lawless, and his few chosen words usually came with a heaped portion of cool.
