15 Cheesy Movie Quotes (That Were Awesome At The Time)

7. There Can Only Be One...Master Race - Highlander

The Highlander film series chronicled the story of a race of immortals who fought through the ages to obtain a prize which diminished in value with every sequel. Even if you've never seen any of the films you are probably aware of their arch phrase: "There can only be one," if only because people often spout it after accomplishing an over-exaggerated minor feat. The Quote: "Whatever you say, Jack! You're the master race." The sheer concept alone was enough. An immortal warrior from Celtic Scotland gunning his way through Nazi Germany? It didn't even matter that the movie as a whole (and subsequent franchise) was a bit naff: someone somewhere was seeing the doodles in the back of his maths book unfold on screen. The scene is cheesy as hell though, QED the: "It's a kind of magic," exchange. Regardless it's all worth it for the ultimate Bond one-liner; even if he should definitely have gone with "Uzi nein millimetre."

6. Chuck Norris Lets Sleeping Dogs Die - Invasion U.S.A

Before ascending to the status of an internet myth akin to Slender Man, Chuck Norris spent his days roundhouse kicking freedom into terrorists. In Invasion U.S.A, the States have been invaded by Communists and only a Canadian Tuxedo-clad Chuck can save it. Rumour has it that the concept came about when Norris felt that Red Dawn (released a year earlier) wasn't conveying the optimal levels of freedom. The Quote: "Nikko was easy. Now it's your turn. One night you'll close your eyes, and when they open I'll be there. It'll be time to die." In one form or another, Invasion U.S.A contains just about every action film cliché - stopping short of Norris actually killing a terrorist by throwing a freedom-loving bald eagle at him. What's great about this is quote, is that it initially sounds as though Hunter is planning to kill villain Rostov in his sleep, like a bearded sandman of sorts. Just the idea of subtlety existing in a Chuck Norris film was strangely appealing. But no: they end their feud by engaging a rocket launcher duel. That's the greatest escalation since Montresor immured Fortunato in a wall.
