Daily Dialogue — May 7, 2018

“I’m gonna take you to the bank, Senator Trent — to the blood bank!”

— Hard to Kill (1990), written by Steven McKay

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Action Hero Wisecracks.

Trivia: The 17 February 1989 draft of the screenplay credits Steven Pressfield & Ronald Shusett & Steven Seagal as writers. Pressfield & Shusett are not credited in the final film and Seagal only received an acting credit.

Dialogue On Dialogue: I can think of no other Action Hero Wisecrack to kick off this week than this one from Hard to Kill. IMHO it represents the capstone of the entire trope.
