In The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas, Burt Reynolds threatens Dom De Luise like this:

Quote"I'm gonna knock you so flat you gonna have to roll down your socks to sh*t!"

Any others?

Plenty by Sgt. Hartman in Full Metal Jacket.

I WILL RIP OFF YOUR HEAD AND S**T DOWN YOUR NECK!

PRIVATE PYLE! I WILL RIP OFF YOUR BALLS SO YOU CANNOT CONTAMINATE THE REST OF THE WORLD!

obscure, but, this one always made me giggle.

James Earle Jones in "Field of Dreams" when Kevin Costner is initially harassing him...

"I'm going to beat you with a baseball bat...until you go away"
Just the finality to the statement always stuck with me

plus, who HASN't wanted to beat kevin costner?

got another one:

Arnold S. in Total Recall, when he is strapped in the Rekall chair early in the film and his memory cap is popped, says quite simply:

"They'll be here any minute! They'll kill you ALLLLL!"

plus (unrelated to topic) one of his better lines: "MY NAME IS NOT QUAID!"

"Day ain't over yet" - 'Curly' (Jack Palance) in City Slickers, upon being asked if he had ever killed anyone. I have used this one to good effect.

In They live:"I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass... and I'm all out of bubblegum."

Schwarzeneggar is the king of threatening physical violence.

Like in Commando...
"You're a funny man, Sully, I like you. That's why I'm going to kill you last."

It gets even better in True Lies when the torturer Samir is about to torture Arnie and Jamie Lee Curtis...

Samir: "Is there anything you'd like to tell me before we start?"
Harry: "Yeah: I'm going to kill you pretty soon.
Samir: "I see. How exactly are you going to kill me?"
Harry: "First I'm gonna use you as a human shield, then I gonna kill this guard over there, with the Patterson trocar on the table. Then I was thinking about breaking your neck."

The Last Boy Scout (1991) had some fun ones

Jimmy Dix: Maybe I could take your daughter horseback riding. How old is she?
Joe Hallenbeck: She's 13, and if you even look at her funny I'm gonna shove an umbrella up your ass and open it.

McCoskey: Good morning, gentlemen. Is there a problem?
Milo: Yes, officer. As a matter of fact there is a problem. Apparently there are too many bullets in this gun.

Joe Hallenbeck: I told you, if you ever touch me again, I'll kill you.

Not really a film, but Bill Cosby in "Bill Cosby: Himself" :

"I'll beat you until you can't grow anymore."

Dutch:

Dutch: You hurt her and I'll hit you so f**king hard your dog will bleed, okay?

Robin Hood: Prince of Theives.

Sheriiff of Nottingham: I'll cut your heart out with a SPOON!

What I like about that one is the scene later when one of his underlings (cousin, I think) questions him about it and he has to explain it.
Why a spoon? Why not a knife or something.
Because a spoon is dull, it'll hurt more.
