Best one-liners in the franchise

[Corrupted Shinnok]

Shinnok: There's fear in your heart!

Shinnok to Ferra/Torr: You offend me, creature.

Mileena: Repulsive human...
Johnny Cage: Sleeping with Baraka's repulsive.
Mileena: Who told you this?!

Also noticed these two dialogues refer to what happened in MK9, when Shinnok and Quan Chi manipulated Shao Kahn and caused his death:

Mileena: You caused my father's death!
Quan Chi: It was his thirst for revenge.
Mileena: Now mine will kill you.

Mileena: Shinnok...
Shinnok: I offered my hand in friendship.
Mileena: Your hand guided Shao Kahn's death!

 

[Vslayer]

“Is it fear or cold that makes you shiver?”

Cassie: “Get over here!”

 

[Lord Snotty]

Mileena: "You will not have Outworld."

Shinnok: "Apparently neither will you."

The burn of Shinnok's response. Ouch!

 

[SaSSolino]

Mileena: "You will not have Outworld."

Shinnok: "Apparently neither will you."

The burn of Shinnok's response. Ouch!

Shinnok is the Elder God of burns. Here's my favorite MKX intro:

Shinnok: "Prove your worth."

Reptile: "You will remember my sting."

Shinnok: "I've already forgotten your name."

That guy is savage.

 

[Dreamcatcher]

I'm not gonna lie, when Noob asks Sub "recognize me little brother?" in one of the trailers I got straight up chills. That's when I knew I was going to love this game.

The most iconic lines for me gotta be:
"Those were $500 sunglasses asshole." - JC first movie
"It is GLORIOUS!" - Shao Kahn in Annihilation because it was hilarious. LOL
"Thank God I didn't ask him to park the car." - JC first movie
"Enough!" - the one and only Christopher Lambert first movie
"Your soul is mine!" - Cary's Shang first movie
"Get over here!" - obviously classic Scorp, probably the most universally recognized line along with "finish him/her"
"Reptile" - announcer voice in first MK movie STILL gives me chills before he fights Liu... was a SICK addition to the movie imo.
"My turn" - Kano X-Ray

 

[BackAtYouBro]

Liu Kang: “But I thought you were going to lick my-“

 

[MioTenacious]

Sub Zero simple quote "you cannot win" is awesome.
also MK9 had plenty of good ones, i remember Smoke saying "stay down" after his xray, so cool

 

[MalevolentFix]

"I'M SO GAYYYYY!" - Jarek 1997

 

[Swindle]

Reptile: “You will remember my sting!”
Shinnok: “I’ve already forgotten your name...”

 

[John_NX]

Kitanas iconic MKX taunt :
Your circumstances are dire!

 

[VSC_Supreme]

There's already been mention of Kotal Kahn's "On your knees" quote.

but I was always fond of Kotal's "You don't impress me." line in MKX, he says it so confidently and nonchalant.

 

[Megax Rocker]

Kenshi:
-Battle and I are one
-My blade thanks you
-Blindness has it's benefits


Kotal Khan:
-Tonta Ha! beats chest

Also to quote club Kotal:
-Not to mention that I'm a black belt, I'm a ninja nigga!
-Nah nigga we gotta run this shit back

 

[Tanya-Fan-28]

I really like Cetrions mirror match dialogue. Especially "Playing Godess is dangerous" then she says "Then you should flee sister" idk why I feel that's so well put together.

 

[Rozalin1780]

“I’m sorry, did you just say, ‘kick my ass’?” — Cassie Cage

“Is it mechanically possible for you to fuck yourself?” — Johnny Cage to Triborg

“Your realm would call that compensation.” — Kitana; refering to Kabal’s hookswords.

“You will learn respect!” — Kitana

But my favorite line has to be:

“There is no knowledge that is not power.”

 

[Methysan]

I really enjoyed Raiden and Geras' last exchange in story mode.

"I cannot die."


"That is unfortunate for you."

 

[caseyMFjones]

Kano's scene with Goro in the first MK movie is my favorite Kano moment EVER.

"...so then he freezes this guy, right? And then he explodes. Almost lost my lunch..."

 

[Buster Skruggs]

"That was feet, ass, and nuts"

 

[Rpgz]

"The good, the bad, and YOU."

 

[stokedAF]

Spoilers from leak!!!!

Geras: You cannot answer the riddle of steel.
Shao Kahn: To crush my enemies and see them driven before me.

That shit is great. I would rather see Conan than terminator honestly. The comedy and references that the terminator gets in his intros are awesome though. I know it’s Arnie too, he would do the voice acting for a charity donation from nrs lol.

 

[usedcarsalesmang]

never forget the classics:
MISERABLE WRETCH

also my line when someone leaves 1 cookie left in the package

 

[CO-KANO]

Would you settle for me sausage - Kano 2019

 

[Rodney Quillz]

“It’s rewind time.”- Geras

 

[NothingPersonal]

Woolay!

 

[Art Lean]

Most of my favorites come from MK21's Kano:

"Laser beam! It's better than fireballs, you pussy!"

"You're some fucking cave-dwelling hippie twirling his anal beads, taking orders from this Wushu wanker who wears a hubcap as a helmet! Now, sit down, shut up and pass me a fucking egg roll!"

"Is it gonna be fireballs? Is it gonna be lightning? Huh? Could be shit. Could be a Frisbee hat, you know? No offense, whoever you are."

"Uh, you got a pen? You want to write this down? Get fucked. 'Cause I'm not gonna help you. You kidnapped me. You tied me up. You threw a knife through my fucking leg, on purpose. And then that lizard thing took off half my face. Lucky for me, you can hardly notice it."

"Oh, by the way, your beer's shit and you're almost out of it."

MK Mythologies: Josh Lawson's Kano for 2024 please!
