Doing my usual blogsurfing today, I came across this post listing the Top 10 Action Hero one liners. Now, I disagree to an extent and I haven’t even heard some of the one liners mentioned which is most likely related to the fact that I hadn’t heard of some films. One thing that surprised me though was the absence of ‘Hasta La Vista, Baby’ which I thought was one of the best lines ever.
It is funny though how phrases and quotes are used in every day life. I keep annoying my housemate by saying random things like ‘FTW [For the win]‘ or Meanwhile, back at the ranch….. And it is true, there are plenty of things I say a lot, sometimes even without thinking. I mean after all, everything’s ‘for the win’, is it not?
Some quotes and one liners are so well known that almost everyone will know them, such as: ‘I’ve got a bad feeling about this’ [Star Wars] and ‘Live long and prosper’ [Star trek] to name just two.
And that’s the same in Germany and many other places. Isn’t it strange that we allow film quotes to take up such a part of our life? Or is this just the geek in me coming through?

WHAT??? No Hasta la Vista on the Top 10 Action Hero one liners? Thats like saying USA = United Sister’s of Ashish! LOL. [Bad joke]
Still, its Elementary my dear Cat. :P
Hasta La Vista Kitty Cat!
I was really shocked that Hasta La Vista wasn’t listed….
“Yipee-ki-yay MuthaFucka” – Die Hard (1988)
Obvious winner by a long shot!
I actually can’t remember that quote. Must watch the Die Hard films again.
That’s because it was made more famous by the Playstation game. I think every time you selected a level it said it… can’t remember… I have ever owned a Playstation.
I didn’t think there was a PlayStation game?
hey. we hav same theme.. :)
Yes, yes we do. Best theme there is at the moment. :)
I still love PressRow over this one! :D
I absolutely hate the font on pressrow. Otherwise I like it. :P
@Tob3z: I never played the Games, the reason I remember it is because Die Hard is class he’s a fucking Hero for us All! Lol
I absolutely hate the font on pressrow. Otherwise I like it.
WHAT!!! Thats exactly whats keeping me on it! I like the good sized font as well as the neatness. But of course everyone has different tastes! :)
Die Hard are quality films. Well, the first and second one are with the second one being my favourite.
Well, Ashish, my taste just happens to be better…. ;)
[Joking!]
