Many of the best lines that we use in every day life come from action movies. Some writer somewhere chose to write these great lines and then they make their way into the every day uses of people to get repeated over and over again. As we say them we fall into character of the person who coined them on the big screen.
How many times have you said Ill be back? Well most likely more times than Arnold Schwarzenegger did in the movie Terminator. We all try to do our best Arnold while we say it as well. And it is also mimicked on other television shows, the radio and even music.
Many other every day saying comes from the action movies of all time. The Godfather has many with the go the mattresses theme. And who can forget the line are you talking to me, that DeNiro made famous in Taxi Driver. And who cannot handle the truth? Apparently Tom Cruise cannot in the movie A Few Good Men.
Our sayings we pick up from action movies can be a way for us to express a comedic flair or it can also be a way of showing our tough side in a gentle manner. These saying incorporate themselves into our daily lives before we even realize it. Yippee Kayey mother was in Die Hard but now you hear it all over the place.
An action movie also gives us a chance for the bad guy to be blown away. Sure we would not do this in real life but it is nice to know that someone is getting what they deserve somewhere and our action heroes do it for us. It gives us a sense that righteousness is being done in the world even though it is make believe.
So keep on coining those phrases as the older ones live on. Many younger people do not know where the sayings come from but they know how to say them. So if they doubt that you can tell them, are you feeling lucky punk?
