Movie Catch Phrases Cowardly

Catch phrases from older major motion action/ adventure pictures once heralded as clever and empowering are today considered cowardly and self-aggrandizing. “I recall using 'Make my day,' and 'I'll be back' on a number of occasions when my boss got all uppity with me,” remarks one man, now dying of prostate cancer. “Now I wished I had just been man enough to massage my prostate to have prevented it.” On the lighter side of things, his wife has commented on how happy she is she won't have to hear phrases like that anymore very, very soon. Movie moguls have since found out about the incidents and have launched a full-scale lawsuit against the man for trademark infringement.
