Amph Things you learned from Science fiction and adventure movies

Where we're going, we won't need eyes to see.

 

When you plan to destroy the haunted spaceship, don't tell the guy who built it.

 

Also, when you start having visions of your dead spouse, GTFO.

 

Roads? We don't need roads where we're going.

And never confuse Mr. Fusion with Mr. Coffee...

 

Superhumans from other worlds can breed with our women. Not cool

 

Aliens can apparently survive with blood so corrosive it can burn through stuff tougher than their own bodies (steel etc).

Reverse Time Travel is apparently possible, as is going faster than the Speed of Light & escaping Black Holes.

When cloning extinct super-reptiles from the past, don't use the DNA of something that can change its gender (and isn't even related to that species, unlike say birds which are). And don't become so reliant on technology that you can run the whole place with a few computers easily corrupted by fat hackers.

Don't give robot children spinach

 

Especially if they start sending you letters from a town called Silent Hill...

Other things I learned:
Ivanova is always right.
I will listen to Ivanova.
I will not ignore Ivanova's recomendations.
Ivanova is god.
And, if this ever happens again, Ivanova will personally rip my lungs out.

 

Yes! Preferably one that isn't based on ballistic trajectory and can double as a tool to get you across chasms and other horrible obstacles.

 

Don't go into the Forbidden Zone, for you may not like what you find.

 

The gun is good. The penis is evil.

 

Never tell me the odds.

 

.....


...of the hundreds of great jokes from that movie, this is the one everyone remembers....


It's not even that funny!

 

I just call it a line and not a joke, since they weren't joking when it was said.

 

Revenge is a dish that is best served cold

old klingon proverb

 

Even in an altered timeline, things will still pretty much fall into place as they are supposed to.

 

Actually, I did mean having a B.F.G. (or maybe not that big a gun) at your side. Because as we all know, ancient weapons and hokey religions are no match for a good blaster (or revolver) at your side.

 

if you walk without rhythm, you won't attract the worm.

 

If you travel to the past, don't bring 'new' money with you or credit cards. Also, bring a mechanic in case you break the fuel line in your Delorean.

 

Don't get a Mogwai wet or feed it after midnight...

Also letting them in the light doesn't help them any either.

 

Cover the heart!

Plus no matter how many centuries its been, a booby trap will never fail and will kill the unweary.

 

If your company secretly manufactures the weaponry and vehicles you use as a costumed crimefighter, for the love of God, don't leave any sort of paper trail that some pencil-neck lowly bean-counter can then use to blackmail you!

 

Well said, but I was referring to something along the lines of a braided leather lash of some sort.

In addition to a revolver of course.

 

Despite what your captain tells you, always, always, bring some grenades. They come in handy if Reivers attack.

 

Just because it looks old doesn't mean she doesn't run well.
