Am I imagining the "one nation under Zod" line?
Hydrogen bomb ftw.

i always kinda liked the Liberace quote, and Zod's 'why do you say this to me...when you know i will only kill you for it?!'

best sequel ever, although we all know that i'm certain.

Luthor and Otis in prison FTW

Dr. Superman, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 04:22 (seventeen years ago)

I wish the whole movie was about Luthor and Otis

'why do you say this to me...when you know i will only kill you for it?!'

erm yes, why did you leave this one out it's like *the* most quoted line from the movie?

"You could use a nip and tuck yourself there, sister."

Pancakes Hackman, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 10:40 (seventeen years ago)

"You know something? You're a real pain in the neck!!"

Mr. Snrub, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 11:01 (seventeen years ago)

"Jor-El? Our jailor?"
"No, Jor-El the baseball player."

Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 12:47 (seventeen years ago)

"Show me the money!"

s1ocki, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 13:05 (seventeen years ago)

"What do I get for my triple threat? `Bow, yield, kneel'? That kinda stuff closes out of town."

Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 13:14 (seventeen years ago)

"No, Jor-El the baseball player."

YES

Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 14:42 (seventeen years ago)

I totally forgot about this one:

Perry White: Yeah, but that's just petty stuff. These guys claim that if the French government doesn't meet their demands, they've got a hydrogen bomb ready to level Paris.
Clark Kent: Well, geez Mr. White. That's t... terrible!
Perry White: That's why they call them "terrorists," Kent.

btw the reissue released two years ago was shit. Richard Lester's TV cut (with footage that the reissue omitted!) is still the best.

Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 14:49 (seventeen years ago)

"What do you want? I see the greed written on your face."
"Just a small token, your fullest one. A mere bauble to jog the memory..."
"What more?"
"Cuba."

Kevin Spacey: no Gene Hackman

Dr. Superman, Thursday, 24 July 2008 04:16 (seventeen years ago)

"I see you are practiced in worshiping things that fly. We fly."

"Who is this imbecile?"

"Oh God."
"Zod!"

"It is extremely likely you are merely a fool. Like father, like son."
"Somehow, I just can't hear you, Zod."
"THEN DIE, AS YOU DESERVE TO!!!"

Mr. Snrub, Thursday, 24 July 2008 04:44 (seventeen years ago)

This movie has some of the best lines ever.

Mr. Snrub, Thursday, 24 July 2008 04:45 (seventeen years ago)

"Luthor, you poisonous snake!!"

Mr. Snrub, Thursday, 24 July 2008 04:50 (seventeen years ago)

"THEN DIE, AS YOU DESERVE TO!!!"

YES. This should have been in the poll.

NoTimeBeforeTime, Thursday, 24 July 2008 08:20 (seventeen years ago)

Interesting that Judo finished second, although I suspect that's because I left many fan favorites off (not intentionally, there's a lot of quotes!)

Bo Jackson Overdrive, Thursday, 24 July 2008 23:02 (seventeen years ago)

The second Zod! makes that quote.

Alex in SF, Thursday, 24 July 2008 23:03 (seventeen years ago)

yea. just so Superman is clear who he should kneel before!

Bo Jackson Overdrive, Thursday, 24 July 2008 23:06 (seventeen years ago)

Re the second line: is this the scene where the Metropolis citizens pick up sticks and stones to beat up the Terrible Trio?

Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Thursday, 24 July 2008 23:10 (seventeen years ago)

yea....right before the one kid says to the other "lets get out of here" or something...

Bo Jackson Overdrive, Friday, 25 July 2008 03:00 (seventeen years ago)

seventeen years pass...

"What bravery. Be nice to them, my dear. Blow them a kiss."
