One that always makes me chuckle is from the film 'Hot Fuzz'.

It's between Angel (Simon Pegg) and Danny (Nick Frost)

Angel: "It's Frank - he's appointed himself as judge, jury and executioner."

Danny: "He's not judge Judy and executioner."

Simple but fabulous.

Police Squad: The ransom note was tied to a window and thrown in the rock garden.

Surely you can't be serious? I am, and don't call me Shirley.

There's hundreds of them really.



Then there's the joke:
I won the Frank Drebin award at school.
What's that?
It's a big building for educating kids, but that's not important right now.

Yes, very funny.

Quote from film Airplane

Dr. Rumac: "this woman has to be gotten to a hospital"

Elaine: "A hospital? What is it?"

Dr. Rumac: "A big building full of patients, but that's not important right now."

Classic.

Same people; Zucker, Zucker and Abrahams. Same jokes!

Pretty much any line from Withnail & I. Most contain profanity, so I won't repeat them.

If I'm allowed one from TV, from Death Be Not Proud (Inside No9).

David recites a poem to his mum on her deathbed:

'That's nice/ Who wrote that' she says.

'John Donne.'

'It's John did, David. It's John did.'

Indeed.

I've never seen Police Squad, only Airplane and the Naked Gun films. They're all pretty much the same.

Butch Cassidy: Well, the way I figure it, we can either fight or give. If we give, we go to jail.
Sundance Kid: I've been there already.
Butch Cassidy: We could fight - they'll stay right where they are and starve us out. Or go for position, shoot us. Might even get a rock slide started, get us that way. What else can they do?
Sundance Kid: They could surrender to us, but I wouldn't count on that.

Quint’s USS Indianapolis story in Jaws.
When I was a student I could recite the Ezekiel 25:17 speech from Pulp Fiction.

Both classics.

Police Squad is way better than the Naked Gun films. Where it all started. It’s a crime there were so few made.

Sgt Boyle in The Guard, in a briefing with an American FBI agent about an incoming drugs shipment into a small Irish port, with a ’street value’ of $500m.

“You lads (the FBI) are always announcing the seizure of cocaine with a street value of 10m dollars, or 20 million dollars, or half a billion dollars. I do always wonder what street it is you’re buying your cocaine on, because it’s not the same street I’m buying my cocaine on.”

In my opinion, Police Squad is much cleverer than the films.

“I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion, and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.” Brig. Gen. Jack D. Ripper. (Dr Strangelove)

Can't blame them for cashing in on the big screen though. We'd all have done the same.

Big Trouble in Little China.
Jack Burton : Just remember what Jack Burton does when the earth quakes, and the poison arrows fall from the sky, and the pillars of Heaven shake. Yeah, Jack Burton just looks that big ol' storm right square in the eye and he says, "Give me your best shot, pal. I can take it."
and...

• Jack Burton : When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, and he looks you crooked in the eye and he asks you if ya paid your dues, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that: "Have ya paid your dues, Jack?" "Yessir, the check is in the mail."

🤣

Not a film, but from TV, doubt you'll need telling where from:
"Set the alarm Dougal, we've to be up at eleven"
