Glad I could share. I love the Watchmen graphic novel and the film is very good. And that line just stuck with me.

Once they were men. Now they are land crabs.

Attack of the Crab Monsters, 1957.

Hot Fuzz:
"What's the situation?"
"Two blokes and a fuck-load of cutlery!"

One of the Andys is drinking Guinness and gets foam on his 'tache:
"you've got a moustache"
"I know" (with hand waving)

Same Andy gets covered in spaghetti sauce by aforementioned cutlery-hurling blokes:
"Aaaaaaargh!"
"It's alright, it's only bolognese!"

Shaun of the Dead:
"Why do you want to hang out with my friends? You called them a failed actress and a twat."
"I did not call Diane a failed actress!"

I think I may start mining Mystery Men for quotes. This could get long.

Sphinx: We are number one. All others are number two or lower.

Mr. Furious: I don't need a compass to know which way the wind shines.

The Sphinx: To learn my teachings, I must first teach you how to learn.

The Sphinx: You must lash out with every limb, like the octopus who plays the drums.

The Sphinx: He who questions training only trains himself at asking questions.

[Mr. Furious tries to balance a hammer on his head]
Mr. Furious: Why am I doing this, again?
The Sphinx: When you can balance a tack hammer on your head, you will head off your foes with a balanced attack.
Mr. Furious: And why am I wearing the watermelon on my feet?
The Sphinx: [looks at the watermelon on Mr. Furious' feet] I don't remember telling you to do that.

[the trio talks about recruiting more heroes for the team]
The Blue Raja: Well, there's The Sphinx, of course.
Mr. Furious: The what?
The Blue Raja: The Sphinx.
The Shoveller: I know this guy. Big crime-fighter from down South. Big-league hitter down there.
Mr. Furious: What's his power?
The Blue Raja: Well, he's terribly mysterious.
Mr. Furious: [dismissively] That's it? That's his power? He's mysterious?
The Blue Raja: Well, TERRIBLY mysterious.
The Shoveller: Plus he can, like, cut guns in half with his mind

The Shoveller: We struck down evil with the mighty sword of teamwork and the hammer of not bickering.

The Shoveller: Come on, somebody do something, we need him.
The Bowler: Okay. Okay, you're a very furious man, you understand that?
Mr. Furious: No.
The Bowler: No? Well you've got a lot to be furious about, and I'll tell you why: You're not well-liked. You're uh, you're abrasive and off- putting. You try and say pithy things, but your wit is a hinderance and therefore nothing is provocative. Just mixed metaphors. Now, doesn't that make you angry? Does it infuriate you?
Mr. Furious: No.
The Bowler: Well, it should. Aren't you angry? Come on, man!
The Shoveller: Your penmanship is atrocious!
The Sphinx: You dress in the manner of a male prostitute!

Lucille: If just one person vomits in my pool, I'm divorcing you.
The Shoveller: That's fair

The Shoveller: If we had a billionaire like Lance Hunt as our benefactor...
Mr. Furious: That's because Lance Hunt *IS* Captain Amazing
The Shoveller: Don't start that *again*. Lance Hunt wears glasses. Captain Amazing *doesn't* wear glasses.
Mr. Furious: He takes them off when he transforms.
The Shoveller: That doesn't make any sense, he wouldn't be able to see

Waffler: I... am the Waffler. With my griddle of justice, I BASH the enemy in the head, or I burn them like so! I also have some truth syrup, which is low in fat. (The fact that this guy was played by Dane Cook makes it even funnier.)

The Shoveller: All right, I'll take point, you two flank. Let's triangulate.
The Spleen: Equilateral or isosceles?

The Shoveller: We've got a blind date with destiny... and it looks like she's ordered the lobster.

I love that movie.

Amazing coincidence I have that film on my computer as an mpeg and I, just minutes ago, randomly watched that very scene (the fuck load of cutlery one).

Mystery Men is hilarious.

[Valanthe]

Mystery Men is definitely one of the better superhero spoofs out there. I love Men in Tights and Blazing Saddles, too. The myths had it coming!

[thelastpirate]

I want the truth!

The Truth? You can't handle the truth!

I speak Jive.

[Roy Hunter]

Doctor Rumack: You'd better tell the Captain we've got to land as soon as we can. This woman has to be gotten to a hospital.
Stewardess: A hospital? What is it?
Doctor Rumack: It's a big building with patients, but that's not important right now.

Surely you cant be serious?

I'm serious, and don't call me Shirley.

Oh Brother Where Art Thou is on TV...
