September 12[edit]

Most famous film quotes by 'no-name' characters[edit]

What are the greatest, most famous, most iconic, most often cited movie quotes said by a minor 'no-name' character who does not even have assigned a name, or it is not mentioned in the film? I guess there is little competition for the top spot to “Negative, Ghost Rider. The pattern is full.” In this case, the character had been assigned a name (Air Boss Johnson), but it was not mentioned in the film. What other examples are there - even more for real no-name roles without any name assigned? --KnightMove (talk) 11:12, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

~~:Certainly any line spoken by the Man with No Name in Sergio Leone's Dollars Trilogy would qualify, no? --Jayron 32 12:38, 12 September 2023 (UTC)~~[reply]

Maybe you missed the word "minor" in the OP's question? --Viennese Waltz 13:15, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I certainly did. I apologize for being wrong. It is a deep character flaw. I will continue to try to be better. Thank you for correcting me. --Jayron 32 13:18, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Being wrong is not a character flaw, it's human. --Wrongfilter (talk) 13:43, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
