What's your favorite?  One of mine is

Adult, speaking to child or insensibly scared other adult:   "I know you're scared.  I am, too."


I saw it today in that wonderful cheese-fest "Volcano."  I love Anne Heche's character in that movie.  Time an time again, she's asked what is going on.  Time and time again, she says stuff like "I know, but I cannot be certain."  Then, she gives one of the best lines of the movie:

"I'm a scientist.  Certainty is a big word for scientists."

That's funny on many levels ...

"...and may God have mercy on our souls."

Not a disaster cliche, but I loved the lines from the crappy, crappy BATS: "I'm a scientist!  That's what we do!  We make things better!"

How about this:

*Shocking thing about to happen/is happening*

CUE DUH DUH MUSIC.

Person: Oh my god.

*SHOCKING THING HAPPENS*

Or how about this?

*Insert bulls**t science explanation  here*

Both me and my best friend saw "The Core" and afterwards I doubled checked with him on all the things that I thought were bs, I discovered that there was a lot of other things I missed.

Still a fun dumbass movie at least.

I always noticed when the disaster reports come in NY and LA are always the first to go or their a scene were NY/LA are just crushed/burned/earthquaked off the face of the Earth.

I guess I won't make it if something like that does happen. Stupid disaster flims. Give me no hope.

This reminds me of the agonizing President's speech to the effect of "I'm sorry we have to do this, but we have to do this," generally given before launching a nuke that will save the world.  Seen in, for example, The Rock (not a disaster flick per se, I know, but one with many elements) and Independence Day, among others.

Here are a few that come to mind:

"We're running out of time!"

"I haven't flown one of these things in years."

"There's no hope for ME . . . but YOU can still get out alive if you hurry!"

"Tell her that I love her . . . "

"How many more people have to die before you do something about this?"

"Is there anyone aboard who can fly this plane?"

"He was one of our leading scientists until his wife left him . . . "

"Grab my hand!  Grab my hand!"

"Hold on tight . . . and for God's sake, don't look down!"

"There isn't enough room for all of us!"

"I'm staying here until the rescue team arrives."

"There isn't a soul within 500 miles of here!"

"If you touch that dial you'll kill us all!"

"If you won't do it for yourself, then do it for me!"

"There's only enough oxygen in here to last another two hours."

"Our very lives are at stake!"

"If I could (ugh) . . . just (gasp) . . . reach that (groan) . . . lever!"

"Whatever you do, don't look directly into the blast!"

"He'll never make it . . . he has asthma!"

"Don't get in that elevator . . . take the stairs!"

"You can either sit here feeling sorry for yourself, or you can come with me and help those kids!"

"You'll never come out of there alive!"

Those were great, Burgomaster.

I didn't see this one listed, but I may have skipped a post or two...

"I've been an *insert scientific profession* for over X amount of years, and this is the worst *insert disaster* I've ever seen!"

Don't know if this was already said:

Leave me. Save yourself!

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
