"I...have come here...to chew bubble gum...and kick ass...and I'm allllllllll out of bubble gum."
Say this in your most overdramatic, badass, testosterone-bleeding voice, and you will understand the true meaning of what an epic line is.
Leonidas, Maximus, William Wallace, Achilles, Beowulf...none of these guys'll ever have anything on Nada.

You may close the thread now.

I'm surprised "I love the smell of napalm..." has been mentioned yet.

From the same film, the army sergeant who inspects the hospital and starts screaming his head off,
"Disgraceful! DISGRACEFUL!!"

I so wanted that movie to be good. That five second shot of MegaCity 1 was one of the best things ever. Just like they ensconced the best (one minute's worth) cyberspace scene in one of the most pathetic sci fi adaptations ever-Johnny Mnemonic.
My epic line comes from a TV show and I get more out of it than "FREEDOM!!!!" because it came first and is more social than territorial:
"I am not a number. I am a FREE MAN!!!" -Number 6 from The Prisoner
-It took me a bit (millions of years) for The Prisoner VS Braveheart irony to sink in. Wow.
-Oh. Image:
