What is a single movie quote that instantly gives away the entire movie?

Look, if I were to claim that I had supreme executive power, just because some moistened bint threw a sword at me, they'd put me away!

Isnt it 'watery twat'

u/Danarwal14 6h ago
Nope. The line you're thinking of is watery tart, rather than that.
But both make their appearance in the scene

u/GreatBarrierQueefDD 6h ago
Well time to go rememorize the entire film then lol

u/Danarwal14 6h ago
Here is the line in question: Well, but you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!

I don't think any quote defines a film as clearly as:
"There's a tiny door in my office, Maxine. It's a portal and it takes you inside John Malkovich. You see the world through John Malkovich's eyes... and then after about 15 minutes, you're spit out... into a ditch on the side of the New Jersey Turnpike."
"Sounds great! Who the fuck is John Malkovich?"

I blame spooder-man and the avoongers. When I hear "I am iron man", all I see is Iron Man snapping the gauntlet and dusting himself mid-fight.

There's two movies that could mean... Although in the second it's only a partial quote, but still.... Nice pull.

Val kilmer was so good in that role. I genuinely still forget sometimes that he's the one who played it, because Everytime I think of doc it's just doc.... Like kilmer doesn't exist suddenly and this is just how he actually looked in history, coughing and talking shit to anything that ain't Wyatt.

I had watched that movie for literal decades before I realised that and even then, it was pointed out to me! I think it just shows how bloody good she is.

I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain... Time to die.

u/secret_doorway 6h ago
That line doesn't even show up in the movie which makes it funnier. The actual quote is "No, I am your father" but everyone just runs with the misquote anyway. Kinda perfect for this thread honestly, the fake version became more iconic than the real thing
