Some movies, especially action movies, feature little quips to lighten the mood or break the tension in a very tense moment, and these often become the most memorable one-liner from the film. A Reddit post has people sharing some of those by asking, “Best action movie signature line?”
The Op reveals they were recently watching “300” and the iconic line “This. Is. Sparta!” is one of their all-time favorite signature lines. Hundreds of Redditors chimed in with their favorites and these are some of the best.
- “I’m not locked in here with you. You’re locked in here with me!” (from “Watchmen”)

Scott's Thoughts:
- Some of these lines definitely made the movie!
- Mine are from Ghostbusters! (I know not really an action film) Got many. Favorites include: "We came, we saw, we KICKED IT'S ASS!," - "ok... SO she's a dog." - "Well you can believe Mr. Pecker. MY NAME IS PECK!"
- I also quote from Back To The Future a lot. "When this sucker hits 88 MPH you're gonna see some serious Sh%T!"
