It's one of my all time faves. The one-liners alone make the film.

My brothers and I still, 20 years later, whip out "It's okay, I took something"... or "Relax! I'm here."... or "This really pisses me off!" (delivered in the basket-case-on-wheels Lo Pan... not the 10 ft tall roadblock)

I recall reading someplace that all of the characters would be willing to do a sequel, but I think that's what's so endearing about the film, is it never had a sequel. It just left you wanting more. That's part of my problem with films today... so many more films would probably reach cult classic status if they didn't beat the premise to death with sequel after sequel.

The 2 disk collector edition is displayed prominently on my shelf. If there's ever a Blu-ray or HD-DVD version, I'll be first in line.

Another movie that has the same "hang time" with me and my brothers is "The Burbs": "About a 9 on the tension scale there, Rube."

Dropped this in my Netflix list after reading this thread. Should have it sometime today or tomorrow....

One of my methods to become debt-free. Thanks, Dave Ramsey!

Yes, me and my friends say "Now this really pisses me off to no end!" all the time.

Lines I STILL quote after all these years:

"This really pisses me off to no end!"

"If I'm not back in 10 mins., call the President." (paraphrased)

"Everybody relax, I'm here."

"I feel good. Not scared at all."

"Is it me, or is it getting hot in here."

"Gimme your best shot. I can take it."

"Have ya paid your dues, Jack? Yessir, the check is in the mail."

"Sonovubitch must pay!"

"The Chinese have a lot of hells."

"6.9 on the Richter scale."

"It's all in the reflexes."

Jason Seaver

I wish I could find a way to use "we may be trapped" in regular conversation.

hahah the sequence of him sliding open the wooden door and seeing all the bad guys and turning around saying 'we may be trapped' is friggin hillarious.

Kurt Russell OWNED in this role.

Bring on the sequel!

Lo, there do I see my mother, and my sisters, and my brothers, Lo, there do I see the line of my people, back to the beginning, Lo, they do call to me, they bid me take my place among them, In the halls of Valhalla,where the brave may live...
