My last post of 2024 was a fun discussion of favorite movie lines.
Today, let’s flip that and share the Worst Movie Lines Evah! The problem with this flip is that if a movie is bad, bad, bad, we tend to let it slip out of our memory banks. And often it’s the dialogue that makes the movie forgettable so we may have, well, forgotten those lines.
But there’s one that sticks out to me, and it’s been mentioned before over the decades.
Jenny, in Love Story: Love means never having to say you’re sorry…
Really? Love means always having to say you’re sorry…even when you’re not! 🙂
Now it’s your turn, TKZers…and if you have trouble remembering those forgettable lines, just google “worst movie lines”. I did!
“Get up you son of a bitch! ‘Cause Mickey loves you!” (Rocky V)
Good one, Jim . . . or should I say, “Bad one, Jim”?
🙂
Never watched any of the Rocky movies–probably a brain glitch on my part. I know they were popular, but I just don’t get much of a thrill watching two sweaty folks in a ring beating each other’s faces in.
Thanks for stopping by this morning!
Thanks for the idea to look up bad movie lines. I found this one.
“Somehow, Palpatine returned.”
From Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019)
Bad line from a bad movie.
Good morning, Michelle.
We own all 6 of the first SW series, but never saw this one. Perhaps, seeing that horrible line, it’s best that we didn’t. As I recall, there were a few more bad lines in those movies also.
Have a great day!
“I don’t like sand. It’s coarse and rough and irritating, and it gets everywhere.” (Star Wars: Attack of the. Clones).
Hi Dale!
Star Wars wins another “accolade” . . . I gotta ask, what were they thinking?
Have a great weekend!
“You’re over, man.” – Benny Blanco to Carlito in ‘Carlito’s Way’.
Good morning, Bryan.
What does that even mean? Done? Dead? Getting dead? I guess I’d have to watch the movie–or not!
Thanks for dropping by this morning and adding to our Bad Lines Day…
Fun, Deb.
I can’t come up with anything worse than the line you quoted from Love Story. Undeniable proof that the story is fiction.
Have a great weekend!
Hi Kay!
Indeed…no real human would ever say that, right? Only in HollyWho.
And back atcha, my friend.
LOVE STORY is from a book with the same name. I thought both were garbage.
Hi Marilyn…I think you’ll get no argument in these halls. Although I never read the book or watched the movie, that line says it all.
Have a good day!
Love Story was a screenplay that was turned into a novel. It was all the rage when I was in high school. I did get two dates out of it.
Well, glad it was good for something, then!
🥳🥳🥳
This one is from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in 2014. I saw it with my grandson and remember sputtering soda when the one guy says, “I want you to drain every ounce of their blood, even if it kills them.”
That line stuck with me since I’m a nurse by profession and found it hilarious it was so bad.
Barbara, that’s a keeper…I mean a junker! Hilarious. I wonder who these screenwriters are, anyway. Having been 30+ years in the medical field myself in various capacities, if I’d heard that line, it would’ve been an eye roller for me, too.
Have a good one!
JENNY: Love means never having to say you’re sorry…
The line is ambiguous, a sure sign of lousy dialogue. I suspect it’s supposed to mean, “Love means never doing anything you have to be sorry for.”
To avoid diving into a data base, I’ll draw on my memory, which is just like one of those big grey animals’, and recite the line I remember from seeing “The Sundowners” (1960):
SEAN: You’re not a dingo, Dad!
What a guy!
Hi J!
I think your analysis of the Love Story line is spot on.
Dingo Dad…I like it! (Not exactly an accurate rendering, though…)
Hope you’re having a wonderful evening!
“Tomorrow is another day,” Scarlett O’Hara, GONE WITH THE WIND
Another bad line, I agree, Elaine. But it’s possibly the only line anyone remembers or quotes from the movie-go figure. 🤔
Have a great weekend, my friend!
My favorite worst/best line is: “No matter where you go, there you are,” from The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai in the 8th Dimension.
Another classic, Bill!
Thanks for adding to the fun, and have a great weekend.
“Do you know what happens to a toad when it’s struck by lightning? Same thing that happens to everything else.”
Storm
X-Men
Well, Duh!
Thanks for sharing that one-of-the-worst movie lines ever.
🙄
Have a good one!
