So you've just had your ass handed to you; fair enough, you probably deserved it. But for your assailant to be cool-headed enough to make a witty remark before, during, or after the ass-kicking/killing seems like an unnecessary blow to your self-esteem. Moderators can add somebody if they really see fit. I know you do that anyway. Brobees are gay. But I think I've got it down to the cream of the crop. So - Who is the Master of Action One-Liners?
Arnold Schwarzenegger
http://growabrain.typepad.com/growabrain/sch2.jpg
Examples:
"Stick around!" - Predator
"Let off some steam!" - Commando
"Hasta La Vista, Baby" - Terminator 2
Sylvester Stallone
http://artfiles.art.com/images/-/Sylvester-Stallone---Rambo-Photograph-C10102449.jpeg
Examples:
"You're gonna regret this the rest of your life - both seconds of it" - Demolition Man
"My contribution to birth control" - Tango & Cash
"Death. Court's adjourned." - Judge Dredd
Bruce Willis
http://artfiles.art.com/images/-/Bruce-Willis-Photograph-C11796808.jpeg
Examples:
"Yipee Kiya, Motherfucker" - Die Hard
"Looks like you won't be attending that hat convetion in July" - Hudson Hawk
"Who's the best cop now?" - Stiking distance
Steven Seagal
http://www.thebestmartialartsmovies.com/images/Steven%20Seagal.jpg
Examples:
"This is for my wife. Fuck you and die" - Hard to Kill
"One thought he was invincible, the other thought he could fly. They were both wrong" - Marked for Death
"You think this is being shot? This ain't being shot." - Under Siege 2

I've adapted that phrase into my everyday speech pattern so much so that the Bennet part has become useless to me.
Forget the movie, it's all about the lines.

Bruce Willis. You can have your cheesy Arnold quotes. I'll take the more bad ass ones. And Die Hard alone should win this for Bruce. And that was 20 years ago.
John McClane (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000246/): Nine million terrorists in the world and I gotta kill one with feet smaller than my sister.
Supervisor (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0416429/): Attention, whoever you are. This channel is reserved for emergency calls only...
John McClane (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000246/): No fucking shit, lady. Do I sound like I'm ordering a pizza?
Hans Gruber (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000614/): I thought I told all of you, I want radio silence until further...
John McClane (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000246/): Ooooh, I'm very sorry Hans. I didn't get that message. Maybe you should've put it on the bulletin board. I figured since I've waxed Tony and Marco and his friend here, I figured you and Karl and Franco might be a little lonely, so I decided to give you a call.
Hans Gruber (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000614/): Eh, that's... very kind of you, considering you are a mysterious party crasher. You are most troublesome, for a security guard.
John McClane (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000246/): Bzzzt. Sorry Hans, wrong guess. Would you like to go for Double Jeopardy where the scores can really change?
[Indicating cigarettes in dead man's pocket]
John McClane (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000246/): Whoa, these are very bad for you.
Hans Gruber (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000614/): Who are you then?
John McClane (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000246/): Just a fly in the ointment, Hans. The monkey in the wrench. The pain in the ass.
John McClane (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000246/): [huddled in an air vent, John pulls out his lighter, flicks it on, and recalls his wife's invitation] "Come out to the coast, we'll get together, have a few laughs...”
Hans Gruber (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000614/): This time John Wayne does not walk off into the sunset with Grace Kelly.
John McClane (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000246/): That was Gary Cooper, asshole.
Hans Gruber (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000614/): Attention Mr. Cowboy, or should I call you... Mr. McClane? Mr. Officer John McClane of the New York Police Department?
John McClane (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000246/): Sister Teresa called me Mr McClane in the Third Grade. My friends call me John... and you're neither, shithead.
Dwayne T. Robinson (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0322339/): I got a hundred people down here, and they're all covered in glass.
John McClane (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000246/): Glass? Who gives a shit about glass? Who the fuck is this?
Dwayne T. Robinson (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0322339/): This is Deputy Chief Dwayne T. Robinson, and I am in charge here.
John McClane (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000246/): Oh you're in charge? Well, I got news for you *Dwayne*, from up here it doesn't look like you're in charge of jack shit.
Dwayne T. Robinson (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0322339/): You listen to me, you little asshole...
John McClane (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000246/): Asshole? I'm not the one who just got butt-fucked on national TV, *Dwayne*. Now you listen to me jerk-off, if you're not a part of the solution, you're a part of the problem. Quit being a part of the fucking problem and put the other guy back on!
John McClane (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000246/): Drop it, dickhead. It's the police.
Tony (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0936591/): You're not going to hurt me.
John McClane (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000246/): Oh, yeah? Why not?
Tony (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0936591/): Because you're a policeman. There are rules for policemen.
John McClane (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000246/): Yeah. That's what my captain keeps telling me.

True Story: The beginning of Commando is my favorite part of the movie.
I like how they decided to get all that bonding-with-his-daughter-crap out of the way during the opening credits. It's so unlike the rest of the movie it's just hilarious. Random shots of Arnold doing shit with his daughter. Feeding a deer, throwing her around a lake while laughing maniacally.
