The most cringe-worthy one-liners in action films

If you love a little action and entertainment in your life, then you will love these action-packed yet cringe-worthy quotes curated by the Phraset review team. Prepare to groan!

Air Force One

“Get off my plane!”

Can we really believe Harrison Ford as the President of the United States duking it out with Russian hijacker, played by Gary Oldman, who has somehow snuck onto Air Force One. Strange. Very strange.

Batman and Robin

“Alright everybody. Chill!”

Arnold Schwarzenegger made a career out of delivering cheesy one-liners, and this one, plus a ton of other random quips, just don’t make any sense.

Independence Day

“Welcome to Earth!”

This is one of the most disastrous one-liners Will Smith is forced to utter in this trashy movie, but it’s also one of the more memorable ones because he says it after punching an alien in the head.

Hard to Kill

“I'm gonna take you to the bank Senator Trent... to the blood bank.”

Steven Seagal’s movies generally rate high on the cringe-o-meter, and this one in particular is a shocker.

X Men

“You know what happens when a toad gets struck by lightning? The same thing that happens to everything else.''

This super-lame one-liner is said by Storm, played by Halle Berry, just before she electrocutes the bad guy mutant named Toad.

Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones

“I don't like sand. It's coarse, rough and irritating, and it gets everywhere. But not like you. You're everything soft...and smooth."

This is Anakin’s attempt to sweet talk Padme while talking about his dislike for sand. Just weird.

Top Gun

“You are still dangerous… but you can be my wingman anytime.”

Featuring some super corny banter, this one-liner pushes it over the edge between Iceman and Maverick. Even though we love a bromance, this is simply wrong.
