John McClane



[John is fighting Karl]
John McClane: You should have heard your brother squeal when I broke his f***ing neck.

Argyle: So, why didn't you come with her man? What's up?
John McClane: 'Cause I'm a New York cop. I got a six-month backlog on New York scumbags I'm still trying to

put behind bars. I can't just pick up and go that easy.

Hans Gruber: You an American?
John McClane: Only if New Jersey counts.

[on the radio]
Hans Gruber: Mr. Mystery Guest? Are you still there?
John McClane: Yeah, I'm still here. Unless you wanna open the front door for me.
Hans Gruber: Uh, no I'm afraid not. But you have me at a loss. You know my name but who are you? Just another American who saw too many movies as a child? Another orphan of a bankrupt culture who thinks he's John Wayne? Rambo? Marshal Dillon?
John McClane: Was always kinda partial to Roy Rogers actually. I really dig those sequined shirts.
Hans Gruber: Do you really think you have a chance against us, Mr. Cowboy?
John McClane: Yippee-ki-yay, motherf***er.


vs

John J. Rambo



Rambo: I could have killed 'em all, I could kill you. In town you're the law, out here it's me. Don't push it. Don't push it or I'll give you a war you won't believe. Let it go. Let it go.

Trautman: The war, the whole conflict may have been wrong but damn it don't hate your country for it.
Rambo: Hate? I'd die for it.
Trautman: Then what is it you want?
Rambo: I want, what they want, and every other guy who came over here and spilled his guts and gave everything he had, wants! For our country to love us as much as we love it! That's what I want!
Trautman: How will you live, John?
Rambo: Day by day.

Can John McClane defeat John J. Rambo?? Voting goes until Sunday night.

Rambo.

But it's the closest one for me so far.

Still, Rambo served his country, so he gets my vote

First Blood

Trautman: Look John, we can't have you running around out there killing friendly civilians.
Rambo: There are no friendly civilians!

Rambo: All I wanted was something to eat. But the man kept pushing Sir.
Trautman: Well you did some pushing on your own John.
Rambo: They drew first blood, not me.
Trautman: Look Johnny, let me come in and get you the hell out of there!
Rambo: They drew first blood...

Teasle: He was just another drifter who broke the law!
Trautman: Vagrancy wasn't it? That's gonna look real good on his grave stone in Arlington: Here lies John Rambo, winner of the Congressional Medal of Honor, survivor of countless incursions behind enemy lines. Killed for vagrancy in Jerkwater, USA.

Rambo: Back there I could fly a gunship, I could drive a tank, I was in charge of million dollar equipment, back here I can't even hold a job washin' cars.

Rambo: For me civilian life is nothing! In the field we had a code of honor, you watch my back, I watch yours. Back here there's nothing.

Trautman: You don't seem to want to accept the fact that you're dealing with an expert in guerilla warfare. With a man who's the best, with guns, with knives, with his bare hands. A man who's been trained to ignore pain, to ignore weather, to live off the land. To eat things that would make a billy goat puke. In Vietnam his job was to dispose of enemy personnel. To kill, period! Win by attrition. Well, Rambo was the best!

Trautman: It's over Johnny. It's over!

Rambo: Nothing is over!!! Nothing!!! You just don't turn it off! It wasn't my war! You asked me, I didn't ask you! And I did what I had to do to win! But somebody wouldn't let us win! And I come back to the world and I see all those maggots at the airport, protesting me, spitting. Calling me baby killer and all kinds of crap! Who are they to protest me?! Who are they?! Unless they've been me and been there and know what the hell they're yelling about

Rambo: I could have killed 'em all, I could kill you. In town you're the law, out here it's me. Don't push it. Don't push it or I'll give you a war you won't believe. Let it go. Let it go

Hans Gruber: Who are you then?
John McClane: Just a fly in the ointment, Hans. The monkey in the wrench. The pain in the ass.


Hans Gruber: Do you really think you have a chance against us, Mr. Cowboy?
John McClane: Yippee-ki-yay, motherf*cker.

John McClane: You should have heard your brother squeal when I broke his f*cking neck.

John McClane: [Fighting Karl] You motherf*cker, im gonne kill you! I'm gonna f*ckin' cook you, and i'm gonna f*cking eat you!

Rambo: First Blood Part II

John Rambo: Sir, do we get to win this time?

Co Bao: Why did they pick you? Because you like to fight?
Rambo: I'm expendable.
Co Bao: Expendable, what mean expendable?
Rambo: It's like someone invites you to a party and you don't show up. It doesn't really matter.

Murdock: Rambo, I swear to God, I didn't know it was supposed to happen like this. It was just supposed to be another assignment!
Rambo: Mission... accomplished. You know there's more men out there and you know where they are. Find'em. Or I'll find you.

That use of a single asterisk really protects the kids, Rob!

Die Hard 2

Holly McClane: They told me there were terrorists at the airport.
John McClane: Yeah, I heard that too.

John McClane: [during the fight with Col.Stuart] Motherf*ckin' motherf*cker!

Carmine Lorenzo: You'd be a surprised what I make in a month.
John McClane: If it was more than a dollar ninety-eight I'd be surprised.

John McClane: Hey, Carmine, let me ask you something. What sets off the metal detectors first? The lead in your ass or the sh*t in your brains?

Holly McClane: Honey, this is the '90s. Y'know, microchips, microwaves, air phones.
John McClane: As far as I'm concerned, progress peaked with frozen pizza.

All the cool lines in Die Hard have curses

I agree, man. I love that film!

Speaking as a veteran, I think cops serve their country as much as military. Thier lives are on the line too.

But I'm still going Rambo.

"What do you want?!"

"I want...what they want...I want my country to love me...as much as I...love it."

Rambo. No doubt in my mind at all.

McClane never seemed like a cop to me though, more like a bystander who gets involved, even though he is a cop. It just never felt that way to me,.

OK, but I still feel like a person like McClane is serving his country by acting heroically to save American lives.

American lives >>>>>> other nationalities' lives

Tough choice. I'll have to think about this.

Sure.

Yeah, I don't disagree with you.

John McClane never blew up a town just because he was pissed at the sheriff.

John McClane would have knocked fat-ass Brian Dennehy out cold, and been on his way.

That is why he should lose

Do you not understand the topic at all?

It's obvious that Rambo is, ummmm, the toughest tough guy ever and, errr, he can ... defeat? ... hmmm, yeah, defeat anyone, especially this other John fellow, who is weak and a nobody, and that is why I am, you know, voting with my heart and mind and casting my ballot for the Rambo one who is on the ballot, and voting Rambo.

I agree Mr. president

Rambo sucks the ass of the gods.
