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

5. Arnie Terminates His Contract - The Running Man

The Running Man sees the tables turn on Arnie, who is forced to escape from a host of ludicrously poetical opponents. This is all part of a televised gladiatorial game commissioned by a totalitarian government; who had obviously never seen Death Race 2000. The Quote: "I live to see you eat that contract, but I hope you leave enough room for my fist because I'm going to ram it into your stomach, and break your god-damn spine!" Imagine hearing that. You've just seen this slab of meat garrotte, butcher and burn his way through mooks. It wouldn't be unreasonable for Killian to arrange to have himself frozen in carbonite. This impassioned threat to antagonist Killian is quite possibly the most emotion Arnie's displayed in any film to date, which is ironically also the reason why it's on the list. I can't really blame Arnie - you don't really hire a Herculean beast of a man to thread a needle.

4. Curing Diseases With Stallone - Cobra

The story goes that Sly Stallone was originally slated to star in Beverley Hills Cop and left when he learnt that the project was going to be less serious than he had imagined. He even wrote a screenplay for it; this eventually became the basis for Cobra, a 1986 action film in which Stallone plays Officer Marion Cobretti - the type of hero who punches the "cry" into "crime". An attitude perfectly epitomised by Cobretti's response in his parley with a scumbag who is holding hostages: The Quote: "You're a disease, and I'm the cure." Only the cure is death, extreme death, apparently. The scene is just plain awesome: you've got Stallone decked out in biker leathers and not really caring that he's about to kill a man - he's just content to chew on his toothpick. What's the message here: cool guys walk away from explosions, but the even cooler guys nonchalantly take life? We to the Gods are but flies to be casually swiped away?
