Was watching a random Sean Connery Bond while channel surfing and the ever-ridiculous line of dialog ( "You're The Man Now Dog" ) from Finding Forrester popped in my head. Uttered by anyone else it might have worked, but with his thick accent it just stuck out as a terrbile line, IMO.

So, what other craptacular dialog has been uttered by an actor that stands out? Doesn't have to be bad dialog from a bad movie, just something that stands out as badly written, badly delivered, etc.

I know she ain’t known for Shakespeare, but Halle Berry’s Toad struck by lightning line has to be the worst of hers.

I don't know who the actor is but I can't imagine he ever said a line that was more cringe than this.

This moment will live in infamy:

And the backgrounder:



All movies with Channing Tatum as the lead.

It's a crime that line was never uttered in any of the movies. Even the terrible Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City would have been marginally elevated by an exact recreation of that scene.

Michael Caine from The Swarm: We've been fighting a losing battle against the insects for 15 years, but I never thought I'd see the final face-off in my lifetime. And I never dreamed, that it would turn out to be the bees. They've always been our friend.

I don't like sand...

"I thought Christmas only comes once a year" - Pierce Brosnan, The World is Not Enough

The dialogue may be (intentionally) bad, but Michael Jai White makes it work.

“You’re the disease and I’m the cure.”…Sly (Cobra)

That's a great line. GTFO.

I wish Singer had caught that during filming. She wasn't supposed to vamp it up, it was supposed to be a casually tossed off riposte.

Donald Sutherland deserved better than this.

Love the movie, but yeah, that line and the way he read it sounds like it came from a different movie, lol.

Was he not on set that day? How could he NOT catch it??

FUN FACT: That line is the ONLY thing that survived Joss Whedon's X-Men script. Go figure.

Wrong. Whedon had two lines survive. The toad/lightning line, and this one.



Sadly, no matter how Whedon and his fans tried to spin it, the toad/lightning line is simply a clunker.

"You're a dick" isn't exactly Shakespeare either. Early 21st Century Whedonites were so adorable in their mindless adoration

It's not meant to be Shakespeare, it's meant to be Whedon.
It sucks that he turned out to be an abuser, but his writing was enjoyed by a lot of people and characters like Buffy are still heroines to a lot of women.

I watched Eli Roth's KNOCK KNOCK last night, and while it's not meant to be Shakespeare Keanu Reeves has some strange dialogue toward the end when he's freaking out with the headphones on and buried in the ground. His character's supposed to be in hysterics at his impending doom, of course, but some of Roth's lines (accompanied by Reeve's uncharacteristically manic faces) give off that "oh no not the bees!!!" vibe of Nic Cage in WICKER MAN. Not as bad, overall, but eyebrow-raising.
