Movie Quiz 4

October 23, 2006 - -

It's been a while, so I figured that it was time for another movie quote quiz. This one's mostly really short quotes, and I think there are some tough ones in here. Once again, they're sorted from easiest to hardest. Post your guesses in the comments.

  1. "This is no mere ranger."
  2. "I'm not bad. I'm just drawn that way."
  3. "They're coming to get you, Barbara"
  4. "I'm real sorry your mom blew up, Ricky."
  5. "Ba Ram Ewe"
  6. "I wish the goblins would come and take you away. Right now."
  7. "Rue the day? Who talks like that?"
  8. "When do I get to see the goddamn sailboat?!?"
  9. "He used to just put a belt, a stick, and a wrench on the kitchen table and say, 'Choose'."
  10. "You have a little caffiene in the morning; I have a little morphine. So what?"

Wow. Really surprised that nobody got #1.

#2 was easy I guess, as was #4 for people who grew up in the eighties.
KJ got #5 also.
Good calls, PMD, on 6,7,8

I guess that leaves #1, #3, #9, and #10.

Good call, bro.
Only #3 and #10 left. I'll give answers tomorrow if nobody has it by then.

I missed Lord of the Rings and Labyrinth? I'm turning in my geek license.

Okay, here are the answers...

1. "This is no mere ranger."
I'm ashamed of all you self-professed geeks who missed this quote from Fellowship of the Ring.
2. "I'm not bad. I'm just drawn that way."
Jessica Rabbit's famous quote from Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
3. "They're coming to get you, Barbara"
I can't believe that nobody got this one. I just blogged about it last month. This is the iconic quote from George Romero's original 1968 Night of the Living Dead. The original zombie movie. The newer movie Sean of the Dead even used this line for a joke when Sean and his friend told Sean's mom, "We're coming to get you Barbara!"
4. "I'm real sorry your mom blew up, Ricky."
Great line from Better off Dead
5. "Ba Ram Ewe"
Personally, I can't stand Babe, the movie about the talking pig, but this one popped into my head for some reason.
6. "I wish the goblins would come and take you away. Right now."
From Labyrinth, which I probably watched about a billion times when I was young. I even played the game, although I never completed it.
7. "Rue the day? Who talks like that?"
Great line from Real Genius
8. "When do I get to see the goddamn sailboat?!?"
Love this one. I've actually been wanting to get the tee shirt. It's a quote from a disgruntled Ethan Suplee in Mallrats after he's spent an entire day at the mall trying to see the 3D image of a sailboat in one of those Magic Eye pictures, and still can't see it. I never could either.
9. "He used to just put a belt, a stick, and a wrench on the kitchen table and say, 'Choose'."
This one's from Goodwill Hunting. I thought it was obscure enough to make the top of the list.
10. "You have a little caffiene in the morning; I have a little morphine. So what?"
This is a line from Pitch Black, from that slimeball bounty hunter that captured Riddick.

Last night, I saw the clip for the #3 quote in a documentary on the History Channel. I didn't post anything since I know my original answer is still right though.
