Movie Quote?

OK, this has been bugging me for some reason. There is a commercial running quite frequently on TV lately for some Nissan Truck...They show the truck driving around, and play various quotes in the background.

There are a lot of R. Lee Ermey quotes from Full Metal Jacket, Sam Kennison, etc...There is one quote that sounds real familiar, but I just can't place where it's from - or even whose voice it is.

I believe it's the last quote in the commercial - "Just one more thing. Don't ever make me mad."


Anybody seen this commercial? Can anybody help me out with this quote? It really drives me nuts every time I see it.

Sounds like George Kennedy as Dragline in Cool Hand Luke.

And I got a theory about that commercial. I believe the R. Lee Ermey sound bites don't actually come from Full Metal Jacket. They sound re-recorded, like an older Ermey. They're just weaker, less shouted, and the cadence is slower than anything in the movie. I bet it's because of rights issues.

That's exactly what I thought. Also, lots less profanity.

I liked Ermey in "On Deadly Ground" with Master Steven Seagal and the throat singers with naked people dancing in the background.
