Fun Fact: Terry Gilliam gave Bruce Willis a list of "Willis acting clichés" not to be used during the film, including the "steely blue eyes look".

5. 'Somebody call the waahmbulance!' Russ Duritz, The Kid (2000)

6. 'It doesn't matter how many people I've killed. What matters is how I get along with the people who are still alive.' - Jimmy Tudeski, The Whole Nine Yards (2000)

7. 'Days change, seasons change, people don't change.' - Detective Jack Mosley, 16 Blocks (2006)

Fun Fact: In order to make Detective Jack Mosley's limp look realistic on screen, Bruce Willis put a pebble in his shoe and kept it there throughout the length of the shoot.

8. 'Listen lady, I only speak two languages: English and bad English' - Korben Dallas, The Fifth Element (1997)
