@@@ RoboCop (Peter Weller): (with Auto-9 drawn) Come quietly or there will be...trouble. --RoboCop

Reason> Nothing to do with guns and just looked sort of stupid with the "(with Auto-9 drawn)" explanation --AdAstra2009 02:45, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

Candidates for deletion

Carrying on from the thread in the forums regarding inappropriate language content in quotes that are seen on the main page via this template (that's a mouthful!); I'm placing the quotes that have been deemed objectionable here so we can vote on whether they should be kept as they are, censored, or removed entirely for the reason stated.

Place your votes in the "votes" section underneath each quote.

The Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger): Twelve gauge autoloader.

Pawn Shop Clerk (Dick Miller): That's Italian. It can go pump, or auto.

The Terminator: The .45 Long Slide, with laser sighting.

Pawn Shop Clerk: These are brand new; we just got them in. That's a good gun. Just touch the trigger, the beam comes on and you put the red dot where you want the bullet to go. You can't miss. Anything else?

The Terminator: Phased-plasma rifle in the forty watt range.

Pawn Shop Clerk: Hey, just what you see, pal.

The Terminator: Uzi nine millimeter.

Pawn Shop Clerk: You know your weapons, buddy! Any of these is ideal for home defense. So...which will it be?

The Terminator: All.

Pawn Shop Clerk: I may close early today. --The Terminator

Reason
Too long.

Votes
Agreed. It's long and, with two speakers, is somewhat hard to read as a result. Delete. --MattyDienhoff 03:10, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Eddie (Nick Moran): They're armed.

Soap (Dexter Fletcher): What was that? Armed? What do you mean armed? Armed with what?

Eddie: Err, bad breath, colorful language, feather duster... what do you think they're gonna be armed with? Guns, you tit! --Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels

Reason
Profanity.

Votes
I don't consider this to be offensive. Keep. --MattyDienhoff 03:10, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Profanity... tit? I wouldn't consider tit profanity. Keep --Predator20 05:53, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

I originally put this as being possibly profane, but I don't have that big of a deal with it Don't care --AdAstra2009 02:33, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

- Even if it is considered profane, one profane word isn't enough to get rid of it entirely. You could just censor it if it's really a problem. Otherwise - Keep. --StanTheMan 00:57, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

Dog (Frank Harper): What the fuck is that?

Mickey (Ronnie Fox): It's me Bren Gun.

Dog: Couldn't you have thought of something more practical? --Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels

Reason
Profanity.

Votes
Not excessive, in my opinion, I'm open to the possibility of censoring "fuck", because it wouldn't alter the meaning. Either way, though, I think the quote should stay, I like it. Keep. --MattyDienhoff 03:10, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

I'd agree with just censoring "fuck" but the quote isn't even all that gun related or recognizable Delete --AdAstra2009 02:33, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

Yuri Orlov (Nicolas Cage): Of all the weapons in the vast Soviet arsenal, nothing was more profitable than Avtomat Kalashnikova model of 1947. More commonly known as the AK-47, or Kalashnikov. It's the world's most popular assault rifle. A weapon all fighters love. An elegantly simple 9-pound amalgamation of forged steel and plywood. It doesn't break, jam, or overheat. It'll shoot whether it's covered in mud or filled with sand. It's so easy, even a child can use it; and they do. The Soviets put the gun on a coin. Mozambique put it on their flag. Since the end of the Cold War, the Kalashnikov has become the Russian people's greatest export. After that comes vodka, caviar, and suicidal novelists. One thing is for sure: No one was lining up to buy their cars. --Lord of War

Reason
Too long.

Votes
It is long, but it's also a lot easier to read than the quote from The Terminator above because it's a monologue (only one speaker). It's an interesting quote, so I think I should stay. Keep. --MattyDienhoff 03:10, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

I don't think a whole paragraph of a quote should be on the main page Delete --AdAstra2009 02:43, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

- If we could have only one 'long' one, this would have to be it. Perhaps maybe shortening it a bit? Keep. --StanTheMan 01:00, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

Bullet Tooth Tony (Vinnie Jones): So, you are obviously the big dick. The men on the side of ya are your balls. Now there are two types of balls. There are big brave balls, and there are little mincey faggot balls. Now, dicks have drive and clarity of vision, but they are not clever. They smell pussy and they want a piece of the action. And you thought you smelled some good old pussy, and have brought your two little mincey faggot balls along for a good old time. But you've got your parties muddled up. There's no pussy here, just a dose that'll make you wish you were born a woman. Like a prick, you are having second thoughts. You are shrinking, and your two little balls are shrinking with you. And the fact that you've got "Replica" written down the side of your guns, and the fact that I've got "Desert Eagle point-five-oh" written down the side of mine, should precipitate your balls into shrinking, along with your presence. Now...fuck off! --Snatch

Reason
Profanity, also too long.

Votes
It is long, but, like I said above, it's a monologue, so it's still easy to read. I can understand that this amount of profanity is likely to offend people, however, especially when it's taken out of the context of the movie. I also think that censoring it would dilute the meaning too much, so... Delete. --MattyDienhoff 03:10, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

It's just a cesspool of profanity and euphemisms for genetalia that in the end the quote isn't even all that clever or recognizable. It's also really long Delete --AdAstra2009 02:43, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

- Bah, I've read less nasty things and seen more reference to guns in porno mags. Delete. --StanTheMan 01:05, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

Alexa "Lex" Woods (Sanaa Lathan): Seven seasons on the ice, and I've never seen a gun save someone's life.

Adele Rousseau (Agathe De La Boulaye ): I don't plan on using it.

Alexa "Lex" Woods: Then why bring it?

Adele Rousseau: Same principle as a condom. I'd rather have one and not need it, than need one and not have it. --Alien vs. Predator

Reason
Awkward quote.

Votes
It's a good analogy, and I don't consider the mere mention of a condom to be awkward. Keep. --MattyDienhoff 03:10, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Keep --AdAstra2009 02:43, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

Mr. Bill Hertz (Paul Giamatti): Come on Smith, guns don't kill people -- but they sure help. --Shoot 'Em Up

Reason
Anti-gun quote.

Votes
Agreed, and it's not exactly an interesting quote anyway. Delete. --MattyDienhoff 03:10, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Don't really care for it the better quote is below. Delete --Predator20 05:53, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Mr. Smith (Clive Owen): Aren't guns just fucking great, Hammerson? --Shoot 'Em Up

Reason
Profanity.

Votes
And anti-gun sentiment. It also doesn't make a lot of sense taken out of context. Delete. --MattyDienhoff 03:10, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

I like this quote. Mr. Smith used Hammerson's own guns againist him is what makes it great. Keep --Predator20 05:53, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Hammerson (Stephen McHattie): You know, Hertz, people love guns because America is a land of opportunity where a poor man can become rich and a pussy can become a tough guy, if he's got a gun in his hand. Now, I'm hopin' you're not just a pussy with a gun in your hand.

Mr. Bill Hertz (Paul Giamatti): Oh no sir, no, no I am not. I am a tough guy with a pussy in my hand. --Shoot 'Em Up

Reason
Profanity and portrays gun owners as weak/cowards.

Korean Thug Kim (Walter Wong): What the fuck is this? We said a machine gun!

Tom Ludlow (Keanu Reeves): It is a machine gun.

Korean Boss Kim (Ken Choi): The kind you can carry!

Tom Ludlow: Couldn't get any of those. This baby's got character. Korean War vintage. Maybe even mowed down one of your grandpapa-sans when he was charging the wire at Inchon. --Street Kings

Reason
Profanity

Votes
I'm open to the idea of censoring "fuck", but otherwise I like this quote and think it should stay. Keep. --MattyDienhoff 03:10, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

It's a good quote, if we're going to censor them at have it listed as "f*ck". Keep--Predator20 05:35, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

The quote is only barely related to firearms anyway. Delete. --MattyDienhoff 03:10, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Fogell (Christopher Mintz-Plasse): What's it like to have a gun?

Officer Michaels (Seth Rogen) : It's like having two cocks. If one of your cocks could kill someone. --Superbad

Reason
Profanity.

Votes
I don't find it particularly offensive, and censorship would probably make it entirely nonsensical. Keep. --MattyDienhoff 03:10, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Even though its kind of funny it is still profane and censoring it will probably lose it's meaning. Delete --AdAstra2009 02:43, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

The Caller (Kiefer Sutherland): You're in this position because you're not telling the truth.

Stu Shepard (Colin Farrell): No, I'm in this fucking position because you have a gun! --Phone Booth

Reason
Profanity.

Votes
This could be censored, I wouldn't miss it if it was deleted because I don't find it to be a particularly interesting or relevant quote. Delete. --MattyDienhoff 03:10, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

There is another Phone Booth quote listed, that's better. So no bigge if it's lost.Delete --Predator20 05:35, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Heavy Weapons Guy (Gary Schwartz): I am Heavy Weapons Guy, and this is my weapon.

Scout (Nathan Vetterlein): Them two hundred dollar bullets ain't so hot when they don't hit nothin', are they? --Team Fortress 2

Reason
Videogames? --Ben41 00:42, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Votes
Not just because it's from a videogame per-se, but because they're all only from one game. It makes it more obscure and less likely to be absorbed by casual users/browsers. Not to mention some of them only barely relate to a gun. Delete All. --StanTheMan 05:18, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

Suggestions?

Harry Callahan: Nothing wrong with shooting as long as the right people get shot! (Magnum Force)

Sonny: Hey, listen, I want somebody good - and I mean very good - to plant that gun. I don't want my brother coming out of that toilet with just his dick in his hands, alright? (The Godfather)

Peter Clemenza: Leave the gun. Take the cannoli. (The Godfather)

- There's probably a couple that aren't shown I could think of that might be good, but one pops into mind right now..

Leo Getz (Joe Pesci) - I bet ya the kid's got an automatic. How 'bout it, got an automatic? Yep, a Beretta, there it is! -Lethal Weapon 2 StanTheMan 05:29, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

Here's another one, don't know if it's worth much but here -

'Snake' Plissken (Kurt Russell): (After looking at gear) ..Where are my guns? Cmdr. Malloy (Stacy Keach) I thought you might want those. -Escape From L.A. StanTheMan 01:42, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
