Armageddon
Movie Quote Quiz

General Kimsey: We spend $250 billion a year on defence, and here we are! The fate of the planet is in the hands of a bunch of ret*rds I wouldn't trust with a potato gun!

Harry Stamper: The United States Government just asked us to save the world. Anyone wanna say no?

Rockhound: We're in segment 202, lateral grid 9, site 15H-32, give or take a few yards. Captain America here blew the landing by 26 miles.

Rockhound: Hey, guys, remember: we're, we're heroes now. So that incident with me and the gun on the asteroid. Let's keep that under wraps, all right?

Watts: You don't know the components!
Lev: American components. Russian components. All made in Taiwan!

Harry Stamper: Bear would like to stay at the...white horse?
Bear: White House. White House.
Harry Stamper: Yes, he'd like to stay in the Lincoln Bedroom of the White House for the summer.

Lev: That's why I told you touch nothing, but you bunch of cowboys...

Harry Stamper: [Refering to asteroid right before he blows the nuke.] Complain all you want, you son of a bitch.

Rockhound: Houston, this is a kick-ass ride!

Bear: Just for the record, this is a very bad idea.

Factual error: The idea of two spacecraft blasting off together so close to each other at the same time is a joke. One would put the other at great risk. Not only is there massive fire and heat, but the vibrations from the noise of the exhaust do great damage to the surroundings. And there is great inconsistency about just how close the two spacecraft really are. The first still shot taken in the dark has them at different towers about 150 yards apart. But, then all the men take an elevator up ONE tower and are split apart into the two groups at the top of the tower. Furthermore, the launch takes place at Kennedy Space Center Launch Complex 39: the fixed and rotating service structures built for the Space Shuttle are visible. The pads at LC 39 are 8,700 feet apart (just over 1.5 miles). (01:00:00)

Trivia: While being strapped in, Rockhound tells Harry they're sitting on "something with 270,000 moving parts all built by the lowest bidder." This is a paraphrase of a quote by Alan Shepherd.
