10 Most Ridiculous Action Movie One-Liners

3. Max Walker - Time Cop

The Line: 'I guess I should have told him to freeze.'

Jean-Claude Van Damme or The Muscles from Brussels if you prefer can certainly do the splits like a champ. The team behind Time Cop realised this and thus the above image was gifted to us all. It certainly says something that this is the most memorable moment from a film about time traveling karate police. The premise of the universe is that time travel exists and criminals try to use it for nefarious purposes. This leads to the forming of the TEC (Time Enforcement Commission) and the recruitment of Walker (JCVD) as an agent. From here we are treated to a by the books sci-fi/action story as Walker goes back in time to stop his wife and child from perishing in an explosion. The main reason this is so exciting is that there are two Van Dammes fighting crime in tandem, which is never a bad thing. The offending quip here is one that simply makes Walker look like an idiot. He's fighting baddies in what appears to be a smoke machine factory because this was the 90s and it was super cool. After decimating his adversaries, Van Damme kicks one of them into liquid nitrogen. This is where the idiocy comes in; when he says 'I guess I should have told him to freeze' it makes no goddamn sense. It's like he's commenting on his own one-liner, to which I'll reply: yes JCVD you should have just said 'freeze' it would have been infinitely better.
