Charlton Heston's Cold Dead Hands speech
Sep 14, 2020 16:39:31 #
Ever wonder where Heston, the movie actor, got the idea for those words? It was from Edgar, in Men in Black. MIB came out in 1997. Heston made the speech in 2000. Heston knew a good line when he heard it.
The alien cockroach has just landed on Edgar's truck. Edgar has grabbed his rifle and gone out to investigate. Fast forward to the 1 minute mark.

Unfortunately, no. But I remember the guy getting shot and the invader removing the gun from his hand,
with the bumper sticker in view.

Good article. It covered Red Dawn and Edgar, but I didn't see anything about Homer.

Haha, but the best line is - "your proposal is acceptable". And then he gets eaten!

Looks like everybody knows a good line when they see or hear it.
