20 Badass Arnold Schwarzenegger Quotes

7. Predator (1987)

Arnold Schwarzenegger Hamlet
20th Century Fox

"Get to the choppa!!!"

An all-time classic line amongst Arnie fans, Dutch's cry of retreating to the aerial rotocraft quickly infiltrated popular culture, and remains as widely quoted today as it was when Predator was first released nearly 30 years ago, appearing everywhere from The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon to Family Guy.

Realising that the Predator won't kill anyone who is unarmed, Schwarzenegger's Dutch refuses to let Elpidia Carillo's Anna wield a gun in an attempt to save her from the dread-locked alien hunter. Taking a hit from the Predator's advanced weaponry in the process, Dutch writhes on the ground in agony as he relays his instructions and as we see during the closing moments of the movie, Anna did in fact get to the choppa safe and sound.

I don't do social media, so like or follow me in person but please maintain a safe distance or the authorities will be notified. Don't snap me though, I'll probably break. I was once labelled a misogynist on this very site in a twenty paragraph-long rant for daring to speak ill of the Twilight franchise. I stand by what I said, it's crap.
