Many lines echo throughout the annals of cinema history. Such classics as "I'll be back" and "Play it again, Sam," although the latter was never actually uttered. Seriously- look it up.
Anyhow, I want to celebrate those lines that don't get enough credit. They may not be perfect, well-crafted or immensely clever. But they are funny to listen to, whether they were written for comedic effect or not. We'll start with....
War of the Planets
Basically, a whole planet is run by this crazy computer and it is killing anyone it does not like. Our heroes come in their ship to explore space and get dragged into it. They use their wealth of scientific knowledge to put an end to the monster. Okay, they actually just ask their computer. Here is the result:
If you did not get it, their computer told them to press the red button to kill the machine. Why not? Even better, they do it with a slingshot. All true.
Stay tuned for more from such films as Cyborg II and the mother of all crappy films: Starcrash!
