The most notable are The Bridge on the River Kwai, The Wizard of Oz, Planet of the Apes, Rambo, and Alien. Quotes Col. Sandurz: Prepare the ship for light speed. Dark Helmet: No. No. No. Light speed is too slow. (pause) We're going to have to go right to...LUDICROUS speed. Dark Helmet: So, Lone Starr, now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb. Dark Helmet: Slotkin...we're done with you. Go back to the golf course and work on your putts. Dark Helmet: So the combination is one, two, three, four, five? That's the stupidest combination I've ever heard in my life! The kind of thing an idiot would have on his luggage! Dark Helmet: Raspberry. There's only one man who would dare give me the raspberry: Lone Star! Dark Helmet: Out of order?! FUCK! Even in the future, nothing works! Dark Helmet: Keep firing, Assholes!
