Which Action Hero Is the Most Quotable?

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Our mission at SAW is to foster conversations about this thing we all love (or love to hate): film/TV. Many of our features are designed with you in mind. Your opinions, to be more to the point. You have ’em. We want to hear ’em.

Question of the Day (QOTD) is exactly what it sounds like. It’s a film/TV-related question that we put to you, the reader. The comments section below is like the feedback box at work; except, in this example, we actually read what you write and care about what you have to say.


It’s Action Month at ScreenAge Wasteland, so let’s kick things off with possibly an easy question: which action hero is most quotable? As in, who is delivering the best one-liners while kicking ass?


Arnold Schwarzenegger would probably win this hands down if it were just actors, but narrowing it down to just one hero, I’d have to go with John Matrix from Commando. And yes, I am picking this mostly because I just rewatched it, but man does he have some great quips. “Let off some steam”; “I eat Green Berets for breakfast. And right now, I’m very hungry!”; “Don’t disturb my friend, he’s dead tired.”; the list just goes on and on!


So what about you, screenagers? Which action hero has the best one-liners that you could quote for days?

I’ll see you in the trenches.
