Nastiest threats in a movie.

post #1 of 47

Thread Starter 
I was watching Kill Bill Vol 1 last night and i felt that the threats made by the Bride to Sophie Fatale were a little - erm - weak. Ok she had cut off her arm which was fairly brutal but i felt it really lacked menace.

"Im gonna start cutting things off and you will miss them".

The only two movies i can think of where threats actually made my blood run cold were ;

1) The Long Kiss Goodnight where the villian threatens Geena Davis's cute little daughter "I'm gonna blind the little bitch and shoot out her knees"

2)Way of the Gun when Del Toro and Phillippe are interrogating one of the bodyguards. "I'm gonna rip out your fingernails one by one, and every so often im gonna pour gasoline in your eyes so you dont pass out".

Can anyone come up with any more?

The best, from DeNiro to Grodin in Mignight Run:

"Because you're a fucking criminal and you deserve to go where you're going and I'm gonna take you there, and if I hear any more shit outta you I'm gonna fucking bust your head and I'll put you back in that fucking hole and I'm gonna stick your head in the fucking toilet bowl, and I'm gonna make it stay there."

Other greats from Midnight Run:

DeNiro to Grodin: "If you don't shut up, pretty soon you're gonna suffer from fistophobia."

Dennis Farina: "You and that other dummy better start getting more personally involved in your work, or I'm gonna stab you through the heart with a fuckin' pencil. Do you understand me?"

"Don't say a word to me, Sidney, don't say a fucking word to me. I'll get up and I'll bury this telephone in your head."

Damn, that is one fine movie.

Wesley: "To the pain" means the first thing you lose will be your feet below the ankles. Then your hands at the wrists, next your nose.

Humperdink: And then my tongue, I suppose. I killed you too quickly the last time, a mistake I don't mean to duplicate tonight.

Wesley: I wasn't finished! The next thing you lose will be your left eye, followed by your right.

Humperdink: And then my ears, I understand! Let's get on with it!

Wesley: WRONG! Your ears you keep and I'll tell you why. So that every shriek of every child at seeing your hideousness will be yours to cherish. Every babe that weeps at your approach, every woman who cries out "dear God, what is that thing?" will echo in your perfect ears. That is what "the pain" means. It means I leave you in anguish. Wallowing in freakish misery forever.
Not the kind of thing you hear everyday.

I have an even better one from Casino and surprise, it's Joe Pesci.

Quote:
You know . . . I think that you've gotten the wrong impression about me. I think in all fairness, I should explain to you what it is that I do. For instance, tomorrow morning I'll get up nice and early, take a walk down over to the bank and walk in and see you, and, uh . . . if you don't have my money for me, I'll crack your fuckin' head wide open in front of everybody in the the bank. And just about the time that I'm comin' out of jail - hopefully - you'll be comin' out of your coma. And guess what? I'll split your fuckin' head open again. Because I'm fuckin' stupid. I don't give a fuck about jail. That's my business. That's what I do. And we know what you do, don't we, Charlie? You fuck people out of money and get away with it.

"We'll do what you say and go to the bank. If anything goes wrong, you're gonna turn around and I'll be gone. And if that happens, from this day on, every time your kid leaves this house, to go to school, go play, see a friend, or buy a f*cking comic book, you're gonna have to ask yourself, 'Is today, Jimmy Shaker day?'"



"I hate this place. This zoo. This prison. This reality, whatever you want to call it. I can't stand it any longer. It's the smell! If there is such a thing. I feel saturated by it. I can taste your stink and every time I do, I fear that I've somehow been infected by it. Repulsive, isn't it?
I must get out of here, I must get free. In this mind is the key. My key. Once Zion is destroyed, there is no need for me to be here. Do you understand? I need the codes. I have to get inside Zion. And you have to tell me how. You're going to tell me...or you're going to die."

"And Frank! The coffee! It stinks! It tastes like arsenic. These lights give me a headache, if they don’t give you a headache, you must be dead. So let's arrange the funeral. Why, I ask myself, why have I put up with you, I can't imagine. But I know. It's fear, yellow freaking fear, I’ve been too chickenshit afraid to live my life so I sold it to you for three hundred freaking dollars a week! You're lucky I don't KILL you! You're lucky I don't RIP your freaking throat out! But I'm NOT going to! And maybe you're not so lucky at that. Because I'm going to leave you here, Mr. Wahoo Waturi. And what could be worse than that? "


And Gruber got it first, but I wanted to add:
"I don't give a shit whether you did it or not and neither will anyone else but I will put such a strangle hold on your gun money that you'll be out in the street throwing ROCKS! I will f*cking destroy you! I will make it my mission in life."

Some classics for sure.

I just thought of another one, i forget the exact wording, but it was from Ripleys game and the raging psychotic that is Mr J Malkovich.

"If you tell me what i want to know you leave here with your life and a quarter of a million dollars. If you dont i will take you out back and run my tractor over your fucking head"

Its all in the delivery. Why are sociopaths so cool?

In THE LAUGHING POLICEMAN Lou Gossett Jr. is standing over the classic 70's pimp he's just knocked to the ground and says " whatever you're reach'n for better be a sandwich cuz you're gonna have to eat it."

This isn't really a threat but I've always appreciated the scene in Dogs of War where Christopher Walken puts a jagged piece of glass in a guy's mouth and starts punching him in the face. Ouch!

P.S. Dogs of War is guaranteed to be the only movie that featues Christopher Walken holding a grenade launcher on the cover. Hey, that's what got me to rent it!

Yeah, I temped almost an entire movie using that score CD.

A lot of really great characters and dialogue in the film. I was most interested to listen to the commentary and hear how much they actually cut from the film, especially longer speeches, which I know McQuarrie is in love with.

Since I'm here, I'll add another threat to the list.

Dave Kujan: You get no immunity from me, you piece of shit. Every criminal I have put in prison, every cop that owes me a favor, every creep and scumbag that walks the streets for a living will know the name of Verbal Kint. Now you talk to me, or that precious immunity they seem so fit to grant you won't be worth the paper the contract put out on your life is printed on.

Wasn't that "Joe Dirt" where Walken played the janitor at the elementary school? I sorta remember him talking to himself in a mirror at one point.

ah, but in the Japanese version she then cuts off Sofie's other arm. which kinda makes the threat a bit better.

I still think Marcellus talking about what he's gonna do to Zed is one of the most disturbing threats ever:

What now? Let me tell you what now. I'ma call a coupla hard, pipe-hittin' ******s, who'll go to work on the homes here with a pair of pliers and a blow torch. You hear me talkin', hillbilly boy? I ain't through with you by a damn sight. I'ma get medieval on your ass.

I like the scene in Heist where Gene Hackman, viciously wielding a lead pipe, says 'You want to play the dozens? Huh? Here we go. There was an error at the hospital, you died at birth, your turn.'

And then there's Lucifer in The Prophecy: 'I can lay you out and fill your mouth with your mother's feces. Or, we can talk.'

DeNiro in Cape Fear: 'It's not necessary to lay a foul tongue on me my friend. I could get upset. Things could get out of hand. Then in self defense, I could do something to you that you would not like, right here.'

Eddie Dane, Miller's Crossing: 'I am gonna send you to a deep, dark place and I am gonna have fun doing it.'

Wyatt Earp, Tombstone: 'You die first, get it? Your friends might get me in a rush, but not before I make your head into a canoe, you understand me?'

All you motherfuckers are gonna pay. You are the ones who are the ball-lickers. We're gonna fuck your mothers while you watch and cry like little bitches. Once we get to Hollywood and find those Miramax fucks who are making that movie, we're gonna make 'em eat our shit, then shit out our shit, then eat their shit which is made up of our shit that we made 'em eat. Then you're all you motherfucks are next. Love, Jay and Silent Bob.

Funny, and yet surprisingly quite a vicous threat.

Say what you will, but I always thought that an utterly brilliant threat was utilized in the Jean Claude Van Damme "Die Hard in a Sports Arena" retread Sudden Death.

Powers Boothe - always an awesome villain - takes a knee, looks into the eyes of Van Damme's like...SEVEN-year-old daughter, and tells her he's going to FILL HER MOUTH WITH SPIDERS.

SPIDERS.
