What is, in your opinion, the greatest B-Movie line of all time?
I personally like Father McGruder?s, "I kick @$$ for the Lord!" in Dead Alive.
Well, if I don't count the king of great lines, Bruce Campbell, I always liked James Lorinz's line in "Frankenhooker":
What're you, some kind of a Swede? You're talkin' to me in Swedish in Times Square!"
and also:
Jeffrey Combs in "Bride of ReAnimator":
The only blasphemy is wallowing in insignificance.
One of my personal favorites would have to be from Six String Samurai.
"Nice tuxedo. Nice tuxedo to DIE in."
A close runner up is from Dead Alive
"Your mother ate my dog!"
"Not all of it."
"Don't worry aout Lobo, he's as gentle as a kitchen"-from Bride of the Monster. (Bela Lugosi)
"Oi! That's my mother you're p**sing on"
Braindead strikes again.... (You Yanks know it as Dead Alive - Anyone know why that is?)
Does "Groovy" count as a "line"? Think Ash/Evil Dead.
Groovy.
Speaking of Ash (A of D):
"Good, bad ... I'm the guy with the gun."
dolemite's my name...and kicking mutha f-in ass is my game.
(might be a little different...i always laugh too hard to remember
it 100%)
From
Wild, Wild Planet comes a good one:
"Why you... ...you helium-headed idiot, you! You and your stupid rules, regulations, and protocol!"

Hey! The director of Coven has a bit part in the new Jet Li movie THE ONE. I'm not saying you should watch it, I'm just saying he's in it.
From TREMORS:
"Knocked out?....He's dead! Well f***************k you!! [There are just some lines where, admitedly, profanity is funny.]
TREMORS 2:
"But then I noticed that one of the little buggers was just stunned, [As he says this, Burt walks over to the back of the truck where a Graboid is covered and hogtied.] so I detained him!" [Burt then throws back the tarp covering the Graboid.]
From GODZILLA 1985
"Better call a press conference, tell them it's Godzilla!"
"...But no matter what happens, Godzilla will live."
Hai! And leave us not forget Burt's best line...."Broke into the wrong G. Damm reck room, diden't ya!?"
"Stick it right in your ass!" sonny chiba, The Street Fighter (either "last revenge" or "return of the streetfighter")
just the way the dubbed voice says it cracks me up!
I think one of my favorites has to be
You will not happy end! arrrggggg! said by a kung fu master strapped to a giant stone ball
'Leatherface (TCM III)'-- Q.- "What's wrong with you people? Why are you doing this to us?"
R- "We're hungry!"
Also, virtually anything Sly mutters in Rambo 2 or 3
plan 9 from outer space:
"all of you of earth...are idiots! stupid, stupid stupid idiots!" (used that as an intro for my band, made the b-movie fanatics in the crowd laugh really hard)
"your guess is as good as mine. all I know is *forgot his name* is dead. murdered. and somebody's responsible."
evil ed:
"don't you f****ng look at me!"
killer klowns from outer space:
"*whistles* killer klowns from outer space. holy s**t!"

I've said it before, but it's worth repeating - any of several lines uttered by Roddy Piper in They Live.
"I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass... and I'm all out of bubblegum."
"You look like your head fell in the cheese dip back in '57. You, you're all right. This one, real f**kin' ugly. You see I take the glasses off, she looks like a regular person. I put 'em on - formaldehyde face!"
"Call the cops? You don't need the cops. You need a Brazillian plastic surgeon!"
"That's like puttin' perfume on a pig."
"Life's a b***h, and she's back in heat."
from
Trancers 5
Prospero - "Killing isn't always the answer"
Jack Deth - "It's usually a good guess"
from equinox: "Jim, hey you're not Jim, What are you?"
from phantasm: "maybe it was that retarded kid Timmy down the street"
night of the creeps: "I've got good news and bad news.The good news is your dates are here.The bad news is they're dead"
And all those from Evil Dead and They Live are classics
Two from spaghetti westerns:
"Sam Peckinpah, that's a beautiful name in Navajo."
--- My Name Is Nobody
"If you shoot me, I fall down. If I fall down, we have to change all the maps." ---A Fistful of Dynamite

P.S.
Ash:Groovy.
