There have been various plays on that particular line in tons of movies and books. Many movies or books involving swords, guns, fists or war will eventually make references to kings, gods and devils in some manner.
Wait, l'm a lil confused. I thought RA quoted Blade, then another movie quote, then Dracula line. Was Dracula in Blade: Trinity? l saw it sooo long ago...
Blade went up against(and defeated) Dracula. Dracula gave Blade his respect and admiration and would not even get in his way of his mission to save humanity from the vampires. But, Dracula did warn him about the thirst; sooner or later, he would one day give in and drink the blood of innocent humans to survive.
Well, then l just realized l have only seen Blade. None of that plot is familiar to me. Nonetheless, nice lines. I'm assuming Blade never gives in and drinks blood.
You'll have to see Blade 2(the best of the series) and Blade: Trinity. Ryan Reynolds, Jessica Biel, Parker Posey and Mark "Triple H" Levesque were in that film.
My favorite John Woo film was The Killer. It was funny, intense and sad. The Killer, Hard-Boiled and A Better Tomorrow were John Woo's three greatest films before he came to America. I wish that he would bring Hong Kong action back.
Jersey Boys Mary-"Do you have a nickel?" Frankie Valli-_"Yeah." Mary-"Call your mother, you're going to be home late." Bob Gaudio-(about Bob Crewe)"I remember thinking there was something off about this guy. This was 1959, people thought Liberace was just theatrical." Bob Gaudio-"Tommy, no stolen goods, okay?" Tommy DeVito-" Stolen goods? No! These fell off a truck." Tommy DeVito-"By the way, if you're ever in Vegas, go down to a casino. Say the name Tommy DeVito. My hand to God, you'll be out of there in 12 seconds." Bob Gaudio-"I'm not drawn to the old neighborhood, I don't give a fuck about the old neighborhood. I'm from wherever I happen to be, and these days that's Nashville, Tennessee. Just me, my beautiful wife and a good cigar. Quiet in the knowledge that none of this could have happened without me."
The 13th Warrior Skeld the Superstitious: (Under the belief that Arab Ahmed Ibn Fahdlan still does not understand the Viking language) "Blow-hards the both of you. She probably was some smoke-colored camp girl. Looked like that one's mother." (laughter from the gathered Vikings) Ahmed Ibn Fahdlan: "My mother ... was a pure woman from a noble family. And I, at least, know who my father is, you pig-eating son of a whore!" Herger the Joyous: "Where did you learn our language?" Ahmed Ibn Fahdlan: "I listened!" Skeld the Superstitious: (after Ahmad Ibn Fahdlan shows off his new scimitar, whittled down from a Viking sword; Skeld shrugs) "He insisted." Weath the Musician: "Give an Arab a sword, he makes a knife." Ahmed Ibn Fahdlan: (cuts through a thick wooden pole in one chop) "It works." Ibn tosses the scimitar into the air, twirls it around, then holds the blade to Weath's neck Weath the Musician: "When you die, can I give that to my daughter?" good natured laughter follows Buliwyf: "You can draw sounds?" Ahmed Ibn Fahdlan: "Draw sounds? Yes... I can draw sounds... and I can speak them back." Buliwyf: "Show me." Ahmed Ibn Fahdlan: (Drawing in the sand) "There is only one God, and Mohammad is his prophet." Buliwyf: "I have only these hands. I will die a pauper." King Hrothgar: "You will be buried as a king." Buliwyf: "A man might be thought wealthy if someone were to draw the story of his deeds, that they may be remembered." Ahmed Ibn Fahdlan: "Such a man might be thought wealthy indeed." Olga inspects Ibn's wound after a battle Ahmed Ibn Fahdlan: "Ow!" Olga: "That's a woman's sound." Ahmed Ibn Fahdlan: "Do that again and you'll make it. (Olga begins cleaning his wound) "Ow!" Olga: "You complain much." Ahmed Ibn Fahdlan: (quietly) "Ow." (Olga applies a swab of ammonia) Ahmed Ibn Fahdlan: "What is that?" Olga: "Cow urine." Ahmed Ibn Fahdlan: "Cow urine?" Olga: "Boiled down." Ahmed Ibn Fahdlan: "No, no. Don't put that filth on me. Water, clean water." Olga: "As you wish. Tomorrow the pus will run, and you'll have a fever." Ibn relents and lets her put on the swab After the battle with the 'Eaters of the Dead' is over, Ibn sleeps with Olga Herger the Joyous: "Did she finish you off or bring you back to life?" Ahmed Ibn Fahdlan: "A gentleman doesn't discuss such things." Angus: "Watch where you throw that... you dig like a dog." Herger the Joyous: "Did you call me a dog?" Angus: "I said you dig like one. Flinging earth carelessly like an animal." Herger the Joyous: "So, now I'm an animal?" Angus: "You're not listening." Herger the Joyous: "I'm deaf?" Angus: "You're a fool, little man." Herger the Joyous: "That is because, boy, your words are feeble and twisted as an old woman!" Angus: "This old woman will send you to the next world, old man." As Herger prepares for his duel with Angus Ahmed Ibn Fahdlan: "What happened?" Herger the Joyous: "An engineering dispute." Ahmed Ibn Fahdlan: "You notice he's bigger than you?" Herger the Joyous: "Yes." Ahmed Ibn Fahdlan: "And younger." Herger the Joyous: "Yes." (He bangs his shield and moves into the duel ring) "Bet on him, if you like." Ahmed Ibn Fahdlan: "I may!" After Herger kills Angus and Ibn realises the argument and duel were sham ploys Ahmed Ibn Fahdlan: "You, you could have killed him at will." Herger the Joyous: "Yes?" Ahmed Ibn Fahdlan: "Well, why the deception?" Herger the Joyous: "Deception is the point! Any fool can calculate strength. That one has been doing it since we arrived." (points to the Prince) "Now he has to calculate what he can't see." Ahmed Ibn Fahdlan: "And fear... what he doesn't know." Before the final battle with the Eaters of the Dead Buliwyf: "Lo, there do I see my father. 'Lo, there do I see..." Herger the Joyous: "My mother, and my sisters, and my brothers." Buliwyf: "Lo, there do I see..." Herger the Joyous: "The line of my people..." Edgtho the Silent: "Back to the beginning." Weath the Musician: "Lo, they do call to me." Ahmed Ibn Fahdlan: "They bid me take my place among them." Buliwyf: "In the halls of Valhalla..." Ahmed Ibn Fahdlan: "Where the brave..." Herger the Joyous: "May live..." Ahmed Ibn Fahdlan: "...Forever."
It's one of those underrated historical/sword/action movies. I always try to catch when it's on cable when it randomly pops up.

I started this war killing Germans in Africa, then France, then Belgium. Now I'm killing Germans in Germany. It will end. Soon. But before it does, a lot more people gotta die."
I've never heard of this movie before. At first I was laughing at the Mexican / German language exchange and assistant driver, even the scabies.. Then the shit got real deep. Damn
It's a Brad Pitt WWII movie about a tank crew in Germany that came out around the end of last year or so. Decent movie. Check it out when you can.
Thanks. Brad's movies haven't done too well recently, but the dialogue seems pretty good here in this one.
Ali Muhammad Ali: "I ain't draft dodging. I ain't burning no flag. I ain't running to Canada. I'm staying right here. You want to send me to jail? Fine, you go right ahead. I've been in jail for 400 years. I could be there for 4 or 5 more, but I ain't going no 10,000 miles to help murder and kill other poor people. If I want to die, I'll die right here, right now, fightin' you, if I want to die. You my enemy, not no Chinese, no Vietcong, no Japanese. You my opposer when I want freedom. You my opposer when I want justice. You my opposer when I want equality. Want me to go somewhere and fight for you? You won't even stand up for me right here in America, for my rights and my religious beliefs. You won't even stand up for my right here at home." Drew 'Bundini' Brown: "Free ain't easy. Free is real. And real's a motherfucker." Drew 'Bundini' Brown: "Now I'm Jewish and he's Muslim, and because of that he tells me I need to give up certain things, like pork and white women... I can give up the Pork, but the white women? God Damn, how the hell do you do that?" "Smokin'" Joe Frazier: "What you in Philly for? Philly's my town." Muhammad Ali: "Oh I just wanna get a little closer to you, honey." "Smokin'" Joe Frazier: "Man, fuck you!" Drew 'Bundini' Brown: "I'm the only normal one left around here. I'm a black Jew, I'm half drunk and I cant read." Belinda: "Don King talks black, lives white and thinks green." Judge Ingraham: "Are you prepared to apologize about your un-patriotic remarks about the war?" Muhammad Ali: "No." Judge Ingraham: "No? You say you are the people's champion." Muhammad Ali: "Yes, sir." Judge Ingraham: "Do you think you're acting like you're the people's champion?" Muhammad Ali: "Yes, sir. I am not going to apologize to you. This is not a courtroom and I do not have to sit here and answer your questions." Ali gets up and leaves
Thor Odin: “Once, mankind accepted a simple truth: That they were not alone in this universe. Some worlds man believed home to their Gods. Others they knew to fear. From around the cold and darkness came the Frost Giants, threatening to plunge the mortal world into a new ice age. But humanity would not face this threat alone. Our armies drove the Frost Giants back into the heart of their own world. The cost was great. In the end, their king fell, and the source of their power was taken from them. With the last great war ended, we withdrew from the other worlds and returned home at the Realm Eternal, Asgard. And here we remain as the beacon of hope, shining out across the stars. And though we have fallen into man's myths and and legends, it was Asgard and its warriors that brought peace to the universe.” King Laufey: “Allfather. You look weary.” Odin: “Laufey. End this now!” King Laufey: “Your boy sought this out.” Odin: “You're right. But these were the actions of a boy, treat them as such. We can end this together, here, now, without any more blood shed.” King Laufey: “We are beyond diplomacy now, Allfather. You'll get what he came for. War, and death. Odin: So be it!” Thor: “Why did you bring us back?” Odin: “Do you realize what you've done, what you've started?” Thor: “I was protecting my throne!” Odin: “You cannot even defend your friends! How can you hope to protect the kingdom?” Thor: “There won't be a kingdom to protect if you're afraid to act! The Jotuns must fear me, just as they once feared you!” Odin: “Have you forgotten everything I taught you? A warrior's patient!” Thor: “While you wait and be patient, the Nine Worlds laugh at us! The old ways are done, yet you stand and give speeches while Asgard falls!” Odin: “You are a vain, greedy, cruel boy!” Thor: And you are an old man and a fool!! Odin: “Yes... I was a fool, to think you were ready.” Loki: “Father...” Odin: (to Loki) “AYErrrrrrr!” turns back to Thor Odin: "Thor Odinson... you have betrayed the express command of your king! Through your arrogance and stupidity, you've opened these peaceful realms and innocent lives to the horror and desolation of war! You are unworthy of these realms, you're unworthy of your title, you're unworthy.... ….....of the loved ones you have betrayed! I now take from you your power! In the name of my father and his father before, I, Odin Allfather, cast you out!!!” Sif: “Loki, you must go to the All-Father and convince him to change his mind.” Loki: “And if I do, then what? I love Thor more dearly than any of you, but you know what he is. He's arrogant, he's reckless, he's dangerous! You saw how he was today. Is that what Asgard needs from its King?” Loki walks off Sif: “He may speak for the good of Asgard, but he's always been jealous of Thor!” Volstagg: “We should be grateful to him. He saved our lives.” Hogun: “Laufey said, there were traitors in the house of Odin. A master of magic could bring three Jotuns into Asgard.” Fandral: “Loki's always been one for mischief, but you're talking about something else entirely!” Thor: "You! What realm is this? Elfheim, Nilfheim?" Darcy: (pulls out a taser) "New Mexico." Thor: "You dare threaten Thor with such a puny weapon...?" Darcy tasers Thor Darcy: (to Jane) "What? He was freaking me out!" Thor: "Hammer! Hammer!" Darcy: "Yeah, we can tell you're hammered." Jane Foster: "Years of research, gone." Darcy: "They even took my iPod." Erik Selvig: "What about the backups?" Jane Foster: "They took our backups. They took the backups of our backups. They were extremely thorough." Darcy: "I just downloaded, like, 30 songs onto there." Thor: "Once I retrieve Mjolnir, I will return to you the items they stole from you. Deal?" Jane Foster: "No. You think you're gonna just walk in and walk out?" Thor: "No. I'm going to fly out." Odin discovers Loki holding the Casket of Ancient Winters Odin: "STOP!" Loki: "Am I cursed?" Odin: "No." Loki: "What am I?" Odin: "You are my son." Loki turns and looks at Odin as his features briefly turn blue and icy in appearance Loki: “The Casket wasn't the only thing you took from Jotunheim that day, was it?” Odin: “No. In the aftermath of the battle I went into the temple and I found a baby. Small for a Giant's offspring, abandoned, suffering, left to die. Laufey's son.” Loki: “Laufey's son?” Odin: “Yes.” Loki: “Why? You were knee-deep in Jotun blood. Why would you take me?” Odin: “You were an innocent child.” Loki: “No. You took me for a purpose. What was it?... TELL ME!” Odin: “I thought we could unite our kingdoms one day. Bring about an alliance, bring about permanent peace... through you.” Loki: “What?” Odin: “But those plans no longer matter.” Loki: “So I am no more than another stolen relic, locked up here until you might have use of me?” Odin: “Why do you twist my words?” Loki: “You could have told me what I was from the beginning! Why didn't you?” Odin: “You're my son... I wanted only to protect you from the truth...” Loki: “What, because I... I... I am the monster parents tell their children about at night?” Odin: (starting to sound unwell as the Odinsleep begins to take effect) “No! No...” Loki: “You know, it all makes sense now, why you favored Thor all these years, because no matter how much you claim to love me, you could never have a Frost Giant sitting on the throne of Asgard!” Loki: "What troubles you, gatekeeper?" Heimdall: "I turned my gaze upon you in Jotunheim but could neither see you nor hear you. You were shrouded from me like the Frost Giants that had entered this realm." Loki: "Perhaps your senses have weakened after your many years of service." Heimdall: "Or perhaps someone has found a way to hide that which he does not wish me to see." Loki: "You have great power Heimdall. Did Odin fear you?" Heimdall: "No." Loki: "And why is that?" Heimdall: "Because he is my king, and I am sworn to obey him." Loki: "He was your king. And you're sworn to obey me now. Yes?" Heimdall: "Yes." Loki: "Then you'll open the Bifrost to no-one! Until I have repaired the damage that my brother has done!" Heimdall: "You would defy the commands of Loki, our king? Break every oath you have taken as warriors, and commit treason to bring Thor back?" Sif: "Yes." Heimdall: "Good." Heimdall steps off the Bifrost Gateway control platform Sif: "So you will help us?" Heimdall: "I am bound by honor to our king. I cannot open the bridge to you." Heimdall walks off Fandral: "Complicated fellow, isn't he?" Volstagg: "Now what do we do?" the Bifrost Gateway activates on its own Heimdall: "Tell me, Loki, how did you lead the Jotuns into Asgard?" Loki: "Do you think the Bifrost is the only way in and out of this realm? There are passages between worlds to which even you, with all your gifts, are blind. But I have need of them no longer, now that I am king. And I say, for your act of treason, you are relieved of your duties as gatekeeper and no longer citizen of Asgard!" Heimdall: "Then I need no longer obey you!" Heimdall draws his sword
