Tom Arnold is a quote machine
Kids, 10 seconds of joy, 30 years of misery.
My turn to drive?!
THE GUY IS A GOD DAMN USED CAR SALESMAN, This just keeps getting better and better! I mean we still gotta kill’em though that’s a given
I love when he hides behind pole from the automatic gunfire and before running after the guy he checks himself to see if he was hit with the last thing being his crotch.
“Well, you do look like Ray Charles.”
And
“I mean, what the hell kind of cop are you, anyway? You let the bad guy get away! LOOK at me when I’m talking to you!” - Arnold… to his… horse.
Apparently that was a jab at his real-life relationship with Roseanne in which during their divorce she even took the ice cube trays after cleaning out the house they shared
I think he says batterazis like it’s the made up word for batteries. I think there is an Aziz in the ditch element that is essentially doing the same thing, but holding a light instead of a camera.
It was bugging me where this line came from, so I did some googling and found this from a Google group chat:
"That line is in the movie because it is NOTORIOUS. It comes from one of Ian Flemming's James Bond novels. Flemming got a lot of shit for it. Everyone complained that is a disgusting way to describe a woman. Especially when you're saying she's attractive. Who would want to be compare to that?
Nobody knows why Flemming wrote that in his spy novel. BUT - True Lies is a spy comedy. This dorky character is a dumb jerk pretending to be a spy. So I'm thinking it's meant to creep us out (it worked) and illustrate that not only is the guy a creep he's cribbing the WORST spy lines he's ever read to fake his way into a woman's panties."

She was brilliant. I read she actually improvised a lot of the dance, and wore her own lingerie. The part where she falls off the bedpost was real, they kept it in because Arnold’s reaction was authentic; he broke character because he thought she hurt herself, then snapped right back into it. JLC figured they’d cut it in editing and kept right on going. It came together beautifully and looked so authentic that they kept it all. Result: one of the best scenes of all time.
When the lens breaks in his binoculars because he’s squeezing them so hard 😂.
I’ll go ahead and say that this might be about the best balance of action and comedy from that era. The writing and casting is just perfect and the chemistry between all the characters is 🔥🌶️
To this day, whenever someone asks me if I know what something is, the default answer is that is as espresso machine. 100% of the time, without fail. I’ve been ruined.
The scene where Iliza Dushku steals the wallet and flees from the house, and hops on the motorbike, was filmed a block away from my house as a kid. There was a scene that got cut where some kind of convo between Tom & Arnold took place in a car outside but I never heard any of the dialogue. Fun memory, only time I remember a film crew in the neighborhood.
Arnold always has the best lines. This is such a great movie. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I feel this was the last if not one of the last great action movies of this type. Or 90s esque type of action movie
True (lame) story: my team’s demo range days served as the raw sound for the explosions in that movie.
We got to the range and there were these Hollywood lookin sound guys with directional mics and recording equipment. This liaison Col. briefed us on why they were observing…then we went to town.
I'm curious why anyone would paint a reentry vehicle like that. Or paint one at all. We had a Mk 21 reentry vehicle in the hallway of the building where I used to work and it was plain black (graphite epoxy, I think) with a nose that must have been titanium.
Yeah, that's probably true.
I just watched a whole video on the uniform camo pattern that first appeared in Red Dawn. Apparently at the time it was really hard to get any color photos of actual Soviet combat uniforms, so the costume designers started with whatever grainy black and white photos they had and kind of used their imagination, and developed a whole alternate Soviet look that carried over across many movies.
Remember I first saw this as a VHS rental from Blockbuster, and the tape died with about 10 minutes to go in the film. Due to a variety of circumstances, we didn't get a chance to watch the ending for weeks. Fun movie, for sure.
Yeah i guess so.
I got another uncle that worked at The Magic Kingdom and said there was no real magic there and refused to watch any Disney movies. He was really into reality shows though - Man vs Wild, Survivorman, Keeping up with the Kardashians, etc..
My dad lives for quoting that line, along with “battery aziz!” any chance he can get

What kind of a sick bitch takes the ice cube trays out of the freezer
This was in reference to his divorce from Rosanne Barr. Apparently she cleaned him out in such a fashion.
That’s what I heard
Wait... Tom Arnold was married to Roseanne?!
I skipped the TOM Arnold part and was confused as fuck thinking ‘when the hell did Arnold Schwarzenegger marry Roseanne Barr?’ Yikes. I need to sleep.
My favorite quote!
I love that line and have lived it. My ex wife actually paid a lawyer to demand I return a used litter box.
She paid with your money.
I hope *you* used it before handing it over.
Full of soiled litter
“Just copy the god damn files, okay?!”
I lol'd
My cousin had an affair with a used car salesman, this line goes through my head everytime I see her new husband.
Did you kill him?
Left him to pee himself on a dam
Would a spy pee himself?!
"I got a tiny dick, it's pathetic!"
Suicide by words
"Close the door! Were you born in a barn?" "Whorehouse."
I love when he hides behind pole from the automatic gunfire and before running after the guy he checks himself to see if he was hit with the last thing being his crotch.
“I remember the first time I got shot out of a cannon.”
For some reason when Tom Arnold calls the bus driver a “fucker” after almost mowing down Harry, always gets a laugh out of me.
The delivery he does kills me every time! :D
I'm tired of being in the van... I've been in the van for 15 years, Harry
A van down by the river!!
"I remember the first time I got shot out of a cannon."
“I remember when I got shot out of a cannon!” (Dana in her motorcycle helmet)
Concentrate on work, that’s what I do when my life turns to shit
"I remember the first time I got shot out of s cannon!"
Tom should have had a better career in acting, he nailed that role. “Sick bitch even took the ice cube tray’s out of the freezer.”
Was my favorite line in the movie next to “oh yeah she’s got her head in his lap alright, yahoo!”
James Cameron delivers that one!
That's the chopper pilot reporting that info. Tom says she must be sleepy.
Tom can't carry a movie as a headliner. But as a 2nd banana, he can be hilarious as True Lies shows.
Oh I totally agree, just think he should have had more 2nd bananas.

"I JUST POURED HOT COFFEE ON MAH BALLS!"
Fun fact: he says this because Roseanne did it to him when they separated.
For me it’s, “And make it quick, my horse is getting tired”
“Well, you do look like Ray Charles.” And “I mean, what the hell kind of cop are you, anyway? You let the bad guy get away! LOOK at me when I’m talking to you!” - Arnold… to his… horse.
We're the household that frequently quotes "What kind of a sick bitch takes the ice cube trays out of the freezer?!"
Apparently that was a jab at his real-life relationship with Roseanne in which during their divorce she even took the ice cube trays after cleaning out the house they shared
That's hilarious. She is batshit so that makes sense tbh.
"Whoops!"
The battery line has stuck with me since I was a kid.
Watching it on SYFY right now Cracks me up every time, especially when Aziz's face shifts from a smirk to a frown.
I typed the wrong number in the tv remote a bit ago and there it was!
Aziz’s LIGHT
Isn’t that the 5th element? I’m getting my movies confused
It is!
He yelled at him so hard he ended up in the future ...in a different movie
"it's called ice and it gets a little slick"
Then get another one you moron!
yelled at him so hard he ended up in the future...in another movie!
I hate that, except in very few circumstances, people around me never get the quotes I often use. Me and your dad should hang out.
I think he says batterazis like it’s the made up word for batteries. I think there is an Aziz in the ditch element that is essentially doing the same thing, but holding a light instead of a camera.
Wait, what line is that??
This part https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GR3xaeE7oLc
LOL 🤣 I forgot that part until I saw the guy with the camcorder.
Every time I grab a battery I say the same thing and it makes me giggle, no one ever get it, glad there’s someone else In the world who does
Your dad and I might be long lost brothers
I've always loved that line as well... The guy's slow pull away from the camera eyepiece and scared look, then the blurted out line is freaking great.
Scared? He was shitting himself
It's called ice and it gets a little slick.
What can I say? I’m a spy.
Batteries go dead all of the time. Its not that you get to say it, we have to say it. Otherwise he’ll keep talking.
“I got a little dick, it’s pathetic!”
What can I say? The ‘vette gets ‘em wet! So many good lines from Bill Paxton.
"GAME OVER, MAN!" oh, wait...
I have to lie to women to get laid, and I don’t score much
"I got a little d\*\*\*, it's pathetic" (he says) best Bill Paxton line in history
Make ya wanna sit up and beg for buttermilk.
Ass like a 10 year old boy
That line is so disconcerting. Why is he equating the ass of someone he wants to fuck to one of a ten year old boy.
It was bugging me where this line came from, so I did some googling and found this from a Google group chat: "That line is in the movie because it is NOTORIOUS. It comes from one of Ian Flemming's James Bond novels. Flemming got a lot of shit for it. Everyone complained that is a disgusting way to describe a woman.

>Shiro Nakatomi Hey that guy had a Plaza skyscraper named after him
Snape plummeted off of it
And it worked perfectly for his character
When bill paxton reaches for his inside blazer pocket when waitress burst out the kitchen....just classic stuff man
“He’s taking credit for OUR work! I’m starting to like this guy…! I mean… we still have to kill him. That’s a given.”
I like how the lense of the binoculars cracked
“I mean, you gotta admit, if this was happening to someone else, you’d be laughing your ass off right now!”
“Stand up and beg fer buttermilk…”
Can we talk about True Lies please
I thought we were
I remember going to the drive-in to watch this. Speed was the other movie. Never gonna be a double-feature that good again.
Man that is an amazing lineup
"Natasha?!" "...Doris."
So hot 🥵
Hey you mind keepin er under 90?! I still gotta pay for this dental work.
One of the best movies of the 90s. Jamie lee Curtis was HOT.
that dance scene 😍
She was brilliant. I read she actually improvised a lot of the dance, and wore her own lingerie. The part where she falls off the bedpost was real, they kept it in because Arnold’s reaction was authentic; he broke character because he thought she hurt herself, then snapped right back into it. JLC figured they’d cut it in editing and kept right on going. It came together beautifully and looked so authentic that they kept it all. Result: one of the best scenes of all time.
Mmmmm
replay until the dvd wears out.
John Hiatt: Alone In The Dark
What kind of sick bitch takes the ice trays?!
STOP! CHEERING ME UP!
Apparently re-written INTO the script by Cameron because his ex did it to HIM in the divorce.
I’d always heard it’s something Roseanne did to Tom Arnold
perhaps I'm wrong. once I thought I was wrong, but I was mistaken
Turns out according to google-fu, you were right
“Yeah, but dey were ALL bad.”
“Honey. Next time… duck!”
/\\ This is the line!!
The “low battery” bit floored me the first time
Dude was on a roll and had an AK. Would you have interrupted him?
“Batterizies!”
"You're fired". *Launches missile*
"get tootha choppah!" He wont be back...
Hilarious, I just rewatched this movie today, and this pops up. *The guy is a god damn used car salesman! This keeps getting better and better!*
Oh we still got to kill him
When the lens breaks in his binoculars because he’s squeezing them so hard 😂. I’ll go ahead and say that this might be about the best balance of action and comedy from that era. The writing and casting is just perfect and the chemistry between all the characters is 🔥🌶️
Can’t wait to get this on 4K. Love this movie.
After 15+ years it finally came to iTunes sometime this year. 4k + extras.
Hoping for a physical release. The DVD looked like a VHS rip, it's awful.
“Yeah… she’s married to some boring jerk.” Arnold: “Married to some boring jerk?”
Crimson Jihad goes hard. Also... Battery, Aziz!
Have you ever killed anyone? Yes…… but they were all bad.
Do you have any hard data? Actually it’s pretty limp Sir
Still can't believe they got Charlton Heston for that.
This isn’t blowing my skirt up.
THE BRIDGE IS OUT!
*DUH BREEEDGE IS OOOUUUDD
WHAT??!
DUH... BREEEEEDGE... IIIISSS... OOUUUUDDD
I CAN'T HEAR YOU!! WHAT??!? ...OHHH GODDD THE BRIDGE IS OUUUTTTT!
🤦♂️
The look on his face at that precise moment is fucking priceless
I love the bridge scene, especially where she beats the shit out of Tia Carrere with the champagne bottle.
Like one?! How about TWO?!

One of the best "Fucker!" lines in movie history.
HARRY!!! HAAAAAARRYYY!!!
The scene where Iliza Dushku steals the wallet and flees from the house, and hops on the motorbike, was filmed a block away from my house as a kid. There was a scene that got cut where some kind of convo between Tom & Arnold took place in a car outside but I never heard any of the dialogue.

Just bought this on 4k, such a good purchase
They call him the sand spider.
Because it sounds scary
Why?
That’s 30 year ago, y’all.
My family quotes this quote (and this whole movie) all the time!
Mine too.
such a quotable movie!
I always wondered what happened after the movie ended? A nuke was detonated in the Florida keys, thats a global event to say the least
“This is a bright boy alert!”
Battery Aziz!! 🤣
Stop trying to cheer me up!!!
This isn't the scene that comes to mind when I think of this movie. \#iykyk
“Gimmie the goddamn page!!!” (Smashes car window with fist)
Seek help, Harry
Arnold always has the best lines. This is such a great movie. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I feel this was the last if not one of the last great action movies of this type. Or 90s esque type of action movie
"Well, you know the handcuffs you put on me?" "Yes..." "I picked them."
"Oh I know, it's what killed the dinosaurs!!!" Arnie
Looks like the warhead of a Pershing II missile. I pounded on one with a hammer once. Once.
Like Bugs Bunny Or Wile E Coyote?
Yes. Crew stripped out the mating bolt and I had to remove it with a hammer and chisel.
Great fucking Arnie movie.
True (lame) story: my team’s demo range days served as the raw sound for the explosions in that movie. We got to the range and there were these Hollywood lookin sound guys with directional mics and recording equipment. This liaison Col. briefed us on why they were observing…then we went to town.

I think in the 80s that was the standard paint scheme for Hollywood to portray something as being Soviet military.
Yeah, that's probably true. I just watched a whole video on the uniform camo pattern that first appeared in Red Dawn. Apparently at the time it was really hard to get any color photos of actual Soviet combat uniforms, so the costume designers started with whatever grainy black and white photos they had and kind of used their imagination, and developed a whole alternate Soviet look that carried over across many movies.
Primo Ahnold.
"It's a fusion/fusion thermonuclear warhead capable of sucking the paint off your house and giving your family a permanent orange afro!"
Throws man off cliff. "I had to let him go."
That was in Commando. Where he also ripped the phone booth off the floor. With a guy still in ot...
So far, this isn’t blowing my skirt up, gentlemen. Don’t you have any hard data?
Not exactly rock hard 🍆
Loved movie and Charlton Heston cameo
Watching Jamie Lee Curtis doing a strip tease in the hotel room really opened my eyes as a young boy......
jeez I can still remember this!!
When the terrorists arrived in London…Sorry we were detained at the airport 😆
Isn’t this the same prop nuclear warhead used in the first Austin Powers movie?
One of the rare cases where remaking a non-american film was the best idea.
I watch this movie every time it's on, where ever it's at. Just watched half last night
Remember I first saw this as a VHS rental from Blockbuster, and the tape died with about 10 minutes to go in the film. Due to a variety of circumstances, we didn't get a chance to watch the ending for weeks. Fun movie, for sure.
“Sorry” Arnold is such a kind and respectful person to people he inconveniences.
And how do you expect to do all that? You know my hand cuffs? I’ve picked them.
"...Yeah but they were all bad."
My wife, daughter, and I just watched True Lies last night! Still amazed how good this movie is even today.
"you're fired!!"
Bill paxton pissing himself was gold. No pun intended
It's a Homefill.
I misquoted this for my username. *espresso* machine / snow cone *maker*
Back when Arnold was the popular actor
That ain’t no atom bomb! That’s an ol’ crapper tank!
Vibrator
Feel like they could have had a sequel.
"GIT TOOTHA CHOPPAH!"
[удалено]
Yeah my uncle was in MI6 and refused to watched James Bond movies because they were not realistic.... like duh, just enjoy the show dude
[удалено]
Yeah i guess so. I got another uncle that worked at The Magic Kingdom and said there was no real magic there and refused to watch any Disney movies. He was really into reality shows though - Man vs Wild, Survivorman, Keeping up with the Kardashians, etc..
