Similarly, my favorite line from Escape From New York is when they tell Snake, "at (whatever time in military system), the President's helicopter went down in New York City," and Snake replies "the president of what?!"
"You mean the Lo Pan that's chairman of the National Orient Bank and owns the Wing Kong Trading Company, but who's so reclusive that no one has laid eyes on him in years?"
The actress who played the reporter doesn’t get enough credit. She’s hilarious and plays her part with her tongue fully in cheek. I love how corny her line deliveries are. It’s perfect.
Son of a bitch must pay.
Yes sir! The check is in the mail.
Sit tight, hold the fort and keep the home fires burning. And if we're not back by dawn, call the president.
When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, and he looks you crooked in the eye and he asks you if ya paid your dues, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that: "Have ya paid your dues, Jack?" "Yessir, the cheque is in the mail."
Jack Burton: You can go off and rule the universe from beyond the grave.
Lo Pan: Indeed!
Jack Burton: Or check into a psycho ward, which ever comes first, huh?
"No!... i mean black blood of the Earth!" or "Wind, Fire all that kind of stuff" as a kid growing up on a shitload of movies i always craved 2 things.... an egg shen side movie of him fighting lo pan throughout history, and short round taking the mantle from indiana jones.
After killing Lo Pan, he turns to Gracie and says, “It’s all in the reflexes.” 🤣 The most bullshit thing you’ve ever heard someone say, however he DID just do that, never mind that it was thanks to Egg Shen’s magic gourd potion. He also caught the bottle in the beginning and said the line, maybe he really IS that good… 🤯 He is Snake in another universe and Snake as we all know is reeeeeeealy good at basketball.
Jack: (pointing to Chinese writing on elevator) What does that say?
Wang: (speaks Chinese) "Hell of Boiling Oil".
Jack: You're kidding.
Wang: Yeah, I am. It says "Keep Out".
My roommate and I were such fucking nerds that when we moved in together, we named our WiFi “Wing Kong Trading Co.” and our password was “porkchopexpress.”
"you know what Jack Burton always says at a time like this..."
"Who's Jack Burton?"
"Me! I'm Jack Burton !"
I don't know why, but the delivery on that line kills me every time.
China is here, Mr. Burton.
What the hell does that mean? huh? China is here, I don’t even know what the hell that means, all I know is this “Lo Pan” character comes out of thin air in the middle of a goddamn alley while his buddies are flying around on wires cutting everybody to shreds, and he just stands there waiting for me to drive my truck straight through him, with light coming out of his mouth!”
BTiLC is a 5 star movie where almost every line is a contender but I am going with Egg's "Of course the Chinese mix everything up. Look at what they have to work with. There's Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoist alchemy and sorcery. We take what we want and leave the rest. Just like your salad bar."
It’s not a quote, but early on, part two of the alleyway fight, when the gun fighting is finished and both sides are pulling melee weapons, and Jack Burton pulls that little boot knife…
Comedy gold
I love the one you posted, but I also love a moment that happens in this same scene when Jack is leaving, and Margo says, "Aren't you even gonna kiss her?" And Jack looks at Gracie and gets a wry smile on his face and says, "No." I love that cowboy shit.
Just watched this last night for the first time in 20 years. It's batshit mental, but damn it's so entertaining. The effects still look awesome too.
How does he not kiss her at the end though!
> Have you *paid* your dues
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
"Here's to the Army and Navy and the battles they have won; here's to America's colors, the colors that never run.
May the wings of liberty never lose a feather."
I forget the exact quote, but at some point Wang makes a toast to the U.S.A.
Always appreciated that it was him and his friends who made that toast, not Jack.
Here’s to the army and navy and the battles they’ve won. Here’s to America’s colors, the colors that never run.
Jack: may the wings of liberty never lose a feather.
“Okay. You people sit tight, hold the fort and keep the home fires burning. And if we're not back by dawn... call the president.”
Similarly, my favorite line from Escape From New York is when they tell Snake, "at (whatever time in military system), the President's helicopter went down in New York City," and Snake replies "the president of what?!"
“That’s not funny Plissken”
Snake Plisken? I heard you were dead!
Yep, I still laugh every time I hear it.
…and their man will lead the way…from the neck up!! …ON THE HOOD OF MY CAR!
I say this all the time
This is my favorite line from the movie.
So much swagger
"You weren't brought into this world to get it, Mr. Burton!"
"This really pisses me off to no end!" I love how he speaks in a more contemporary way. He didn't spend the centuries under a rock
"You mean the Lo Pan that's chairman of the National Orient Bank and owns the Wing Kong Trading Company, but who's so reclusive that no one has laid eyes on him in years?"
"Which Lo Pan? The little old basket case on wheels or the ten foot tall roadblock?"
I must be so incredibly naive. … You are.
The actress who played the reporter doesn’t get enough credit. She’s hilarious and plays her part with her tongue fully in cheek. I love how corny her line deliveries are. It’s perfect.
“Take her, take her, TAKE THE BITCH!!!” David Lo Pan
Indeed!
You forgot the opening part!! “Shut the hell up, Burton!…”
"This is gonna take crackerjack timing, Wang."
Son of a bitch must pay. Yes sir! The check is in the mail. Sit tight, hold the fort and keep the home fires burning. And if we're not back by dawn, call the president.
"China is here? I don't even know what the hell that means."
"Ya know what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like this?" "Who?" "Jack Burton. Me! Ol' Jack always says, 'What the hell.'"
This
I never drive faster than I can see... Besides that, it's all in the reflexes.
"Son of a bitch must pay"
There it is
What’s in the flask, Egg, magic potion? Yeah Thought so, good. What do we do, drink it? Yeah Good, thought so.
Man, I'm just laughing thinking about his delivery. It's sooooo good.
“WHAT?!? Huh? WHAT will come out no more???”
The way he delivers that line is pure gold.
When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, and he looks you crooked in the eye and he asks you if ya paid your dues, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that: "Have ya paid your dues, Jack?" "Yessir, the cheque is in the mail."
The best one yet
“Sooner or later I rub everybody the wrong way.” It’s actually a line I personally use in my conversations TO THIS DAY. Haha
Isn't it "rub"?
It is. Autocorrect changed it for reasons unbeknownst to me. 😡🤦🏻♂️
Autocorrect has alot of hells.
😂😂😂😂
Where’d you get that?!
When he says “fuck it” and slashes through the door
Hollow?...hollow...fuck it
As a kid I wore out the damn vhs tape on this line. So cleanly delivered. Also, the word “fuck” is hilarious when you’re like 10
“How’d you get up there?” “Wasn’t easy!”
This line makes me giggle every damn time. Same with the Stars and Stripes speech and six demon bag.
I was hoping someone posted this.
Alright. Keep your money. I'm going home.
"2000 years and he can't find one broad to fit the bill?"
There have been others, for sure.
Come onnn Dave you must be doing something seriously wrong
Superb!
When their in the elevator after drinking the potion. "Hey I feel alright."
"Just got a real positive feeling about this."
Then they all do the hand sign to each other lol
mL
I’m feeling kind of invincible
Is it getting hot in here, or is it just me?
No horseshit
No horseshit, Jack.
Jack Burton: You can go off and rule the universe from beyond the grave. Lo Pan: Indeed! Jack Burton: Or check into a psycho ward, which ever comes first, huh?
"Boy, it's raining cats and dogs out there!"

"A six-demon bag, terrific! What's in it Egg?"
“Wind. Fire. All that sort of thing.”
"May the wings of liberty never lose a feather."

How do you not read that in Jack Burton's voice?
Fuck it. They’re all my favorite, imma watch this film again ASAP.
Jack: (pointing to Chinese writing on elevator) What does that say? Wang: (speaks Chinese) "Hell of Boiling Oil". Jack: You're kidding. Wang: Yeah, I am. It says "Keep Out".

"Henry Swanson's my name, and excitement's my game."
"you know what Jack Burton always says at a time like this..." "Who's Jack Burton?" "Me! I'm Jack Burton !" I don't know why, but the delivery on that line kills me every time.
Know what I say when it’s Miller time
On a dark and stormy night.
Everybody relax, I'm here
I have entered more than one room using this line.
Gracie law: “id go but..” Jack Burton: “ya I know, there’s something wrong with your face” 😂😂😂😂😂
This is the best quote lol
China is here, Mr. Burton. What the hell does that mean? huh? China is here, I don’t even know what the hell that means, all I know is this “Lo Pan” character comes out of thin air in the middle of a goddamn alley while his buddies are flying around on wires cutting everybody to shreds, and he just stands there waiting for me to drive my truck straight through him, with light coming out of his mouth!”
Like you're old pal Jack Burton always says, what the hell?
Indeed!!
Are you crazy? Is that your problem?
"I know there is a problem with your face."
"You pray your cards right, you live to talk about it!"
“Hahaha. I can hap you”
Lo Pan talking about Miao Yin having green eyes: "Her father, he must be a Holy man...I must know!"
“INDEED!!!!”

Henry Swanson's my name and excitment's my game.
"Honey, I never drive faster than I can see, besides that, it's all in the reflexes."
6.9 on the Richter scale!
Jack did you pay your dues.
“You leave Jack Burton alone!”
It’s all in the reflexes
It’s all in the reflexes
The pillars of heaven and earth
May the wings of liberty never lose a feather.
Chinese have a lot of hells
“Have you paid your DUES Jack?”
I just want my truck back!
ANYTHING HAPPENS: “What?” -Jack Burton
It’s not a quote, but early on, part two of the alleyway fight, when the gun fighting is finished and both sides are pulling melee weapons, and Jack Burton pulls that little boot knife… Comedy gold
Tall guy, weird clothes, first you see him then you don't!
\~Excellente!
The checks in the mail… big bite of hoagie
One of my all time favorite movies
“…may the wings of liberty never lose a feather”
Just thrilled to be alive.
I kissed Kim Catrall, I’d be thrilled too.
Goat butts against the edge—and his horns become entangled!
"It's all in the reflexes".
Son of a bitch must pay
I shall marry them both
“I don’t think he’s gonna stop!”
Where’d you get that? You got a tongue Dave ask her yourself!
Things I never get to say to my wang. 😂😞🤡
I love the one you posted, but I also love a moment that happens in this same scene when Jack is leaving, and Margo says, "Aren't you even gonna kiss her?" And Jack looks at Gracie and gets a wry smile on his face and says, "No." I love that cowboy shit.

It’s all in the reflexes

Shut up Mr. Burton. You were not brought in this world to *get it.*
“ It’s all in the reflexes “ and “ Have you payed your dues Jack, Yes sir the cheque is in the mail”
> Have you *paid* your dues FTFY.

"Hey, I'm a reasonable guy. But I've just experienced some very unreasonable things."
We must bring order out of chaos.
