1. "Do You Know What Happens To A Toad..." - X-Men
Bryan Singer's merry band of mutants make their second appearance on this list, with one of the most infamous groaners in film history. As you're probably aware, the original line ("do you know what happens to a toad when it's struck by lightening? It croaks" ) was actually written by Joss Whedon, and as silly as it is, at least it's supposed to be. For whatever bizarre reason the line was changed from "it croaks" to, "the same thing that happens to everything else". Huh? Halle Berry didn't exactly electrify (again, pun intended) the screen in this movie, but it's hard to imagine any actor getting away with that one. If Singer had taken a slightly more playful approach there's a chance it could have worked, but played straight as an arrow by an actress who'd been struggling even with relatively decent dialogue for the entire movie? Nope. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GK185LHmV3g Which other terrible lines from awesome films deserve to be on this list? Share your thoughts below in the comments thread.
