You son of a bitch! Welcome to this film quote off involving the 1987 film Predator, which has so many classic one-liners it’s impossible to move for them.
Previously, we’ve covered the likes of “If it bleeds, we can kill it.” But now it’s time for the most hypermasculine moment in cinematic history (from the angle of Big Arnie ad libbing around his famous line, yo).
Dillon! You son of a bitch!
Here’s the original in all its glory. To note, you can use the preface “Dillon!” prior to launching into the rest of the quote. Up to you.
Also to note, it’s not necessary to have mighty man muscles like those two. Because, you know, that takes 137 hours a week in the gym. Ain’t got time to bleed!
Dillon! You son of an bitch!
Trivialities over fundamental grammar on this one.
Get away from her you bitch!
Just a nod to Aliens (1986) there and the awesome that is Sigourney Weaver yelling, “Get away from her you bitch!”
I say! You absolute rascal!
Here’s the British version of this great moment. Rather!
You submachine gun of a bitch!
Indeed. As there are many, many guns in this film and it just makes sense on a gun-based shooty level.
You son of a kitsch!
Yeah, Predator is a bit kitsch. And that’s why people love it, hey!
You son of a ditch!
Some ditch-based excellence here. Ditches don’t really get enough praise, we feel, as they are very useful implements.
You son of a sales pitch!
Those dastardly sales pitches have a habit of catching up with the best of us! What’s the best way to deal with an unwanted sales pitch? Why, gun it down (of course) in a hail of bullets!
Flu! Son of a bitch!
Yes, flu is a son of a bitch. Thanks for clarifying Arnold. It’s an absolute bastard.
You gun of a bitch!
Apt, this one. Apt. See, what with guns and… you know. Big Arnie.
Do we need to mansplain this further? Okay, this is how it works. Arnold Schwarzenegger was in a series of ’80s films, launching him to superstardom, in which he uses various guns. Boom!
As such, this quip is a postmodern quip on his quips. Good, we’re glad we could clear that up.
Tonne of a bitch!
Yes, that’s a lot of weight. A tonne of it, to be precise.
Hot cross bun of a bitch!
Well noted here on hot cross buns. One a penny, two a penny. Big Arnie needs these bad boys out in the jungle.
Pe-ew! Son of a bitch!
In reference to the manly stench of BO that must have been emanating from that most macho of offices.
And finally…
Dillon! You pun of a bitch!
Big Arnold. One liners. “Pun of a bitch”? Yes, we’re also no really seeing the connection. Sorry.
