“Why have you disturbed our sleep; awakened us from our ancient slumber?” – Possessed Cheryl before she goes into full levitation, stabby mode in Evil Dead (1981). Given how hilarious Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness are (not to mention the recent Ash Vs. Evil Dead TV series which all […]

“One little murder and I’m Jack the Ripper.” – Larry (played by Billy Crystal) on the unfairness of it all in Throw Momma From The Train (1987). We love this movie. It’s a classic black comedy that has some masterful performances from co-stars Billy Crystal and Danny DeVito although the […]
“Cool? Babe, it’s a perfect 98.6. It’s like floating in your mother’s womb!” – Jacuzzi talk in the baffling but brilliant Terrorvision (1986). This b-movie alien horror/comedy is as ’80s as the genre gets. Equal parts From Beyond, Lost Boys ands Critters, Terrorvision is a true gem.
“John, I’m not going to shoot you between the eyes. I’m going to shoot you between the balls.” – Commando (1985) What’s more terrifying than being hunted down by South American terrorists? Getting your cock shot clean off by their leader when he looks like FREDDIE MERCURY ON GROWTH HORMONES! […]
“WHAT?! Ain’t no fuckin’ Thelma here, man!” – Arsenio Hall having a bad day in Amazon Women on the Moon (the rest of which is rubbish).
One of the very best martial arts films from the ’80s was Best of the Best (1989). It starred Eric Roberts (who puts in a powerhouse performance) and the Rhee brothers (Phillip and Simon, a pair of stunning martial artists). The film is full of great scenes and some fun […]
“Now, if I was you all, I’d quit askin’ questions and haul ass… ’cause my buddies… dey not nice like me. ” – Don’t mess with cajuns in Southern Comfort (1981). Brion James is such a bad motherfucker. Especially when he’s playing a one-armed Cajun trapper (whatever that is, he’s […]
“Son of a bitch must pay.” – The law according to Jack Burton (played by Kurt Russell) in Big Trouble in Little China (1986). Big Trouble in Little China has so many great lines, it’s hard to pick just one. It is, after all, the best movie ever made. Possibly. […]
“An accident? An accident? Do you realize it’s snowing in my room goddammit!” – Chet’s not happy in Weird Science (1985)
Trading Places was on TV the other day and had to be watched. It is, after all, one of the top five comedy movies of all time. It’s a great movie with a ton of quotable lines (I still say ‘Merry New Year!’ each year) but this one-worder, delivered by […]
“Anyone who runs, is a VC. Anyone who stands still, is a well-disciplined VC!” The somewhat unhinged door gunner of a helicopter in Full Metal Jacket (1987) clarifies how he picks his targets… Also led to us exclaiming “get some!” a few times as we took down enemies playing this level in […]
