ever notice how bad action films are filled with philosophical lines?

Det. James 'Sonny' Crockett: Things go wrong. The odds catch up. Probability is like gravity: you cannot negotiate with gravity.

I swear, on the way home I was thinking about this exact line and I was going to post it.  What makes that line even worse is that it looks like he's reading cue cards as he delivers it.

Reminds me of,

Man on Fire
Creasy: Forgiveness is between them and God. It's my job to arrange the meeting.

Although I wouldn't qualify it as a 'bad' action movie, the line is lame enough to make the list.

While that line is ridiculous, it really doesn't belong in this thread as we are only talking about bad action films...correct?

Miami Vice is bad. And while I do think The Crow and Man on Fire are good, they are still action films. None of them are perfect. I say their ability to have bad lines is due to bad genes.

I could just paste a script of The Counselor, since it goes from digressions to dogmatics all the time, no dialogue to be found, maybe beside:

LAURA        Okay. I want you to finger fuck me.
