10 Best Movie Insults Of All Time

4. True Romance

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3yon2GyoiM&t=6m33s Quentin Tarantino has received a lot of flak over the years for the perceived racism in a lot of his scripts, with many suggesting that this transpires through to the man himself. While that's really questionable at best, his script for Tony Scott's sublime crime thriller True Romance does drop its share of "n-bombs" in this stunning scene, which sees Clifford Worley (Dennis Hopper) refusing to give up his son's location, and realising his time is over, baits gangster Vincenzo Coccotti (Christopher Walken) into executing him quickly rather than administering a protracted barrage of torture. Worley goes into a lengthy explanation of how Coccotti's entire blood-line is descended from blacks. He ends with this cracking one-liner, one of the best pieces of dialogue that Tarantino has ever written. "And you...you're part...eggplant." It's the insult that pushes Coccotti over the edge, initially causing him to laugh, before promptly shooting Worley in the head.
