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

“Knock, knock.” — Predator (1987)

One of the most well-known action movie tropes is the wisecrack, so this week should be pretty easy. I’ve got a few in mind. How about you? Let’s see what kind of wisecrack suggestions emerge over the next 7 days. Click Write a response and post your recommendations there.

What to do:

  • Copy/paste dialogue from IMDb Quotes or some other transcript source.
  • Copy/paste the URL of an accompanying video from YouTube or some other video source.
  • Any trivia about the movie which you think would be of interest to readers, we always welcome that.

I’d also ask you to think about why the dialogue is notable. Is there anything about the dialogue which provides some takeaway related to the craft of writing? If so, feel free to share your Dialogue On Dialogue.

Consecutive days of Daily Dialogue posts: 3,642.
