`Goodbye Mr. Bond` voted 7th best pay-off line in movie history by UK Cinema poll

The BBC have reported on the results of a poll conducted by Odeon Cinemas in the UK to find the most popular pay-off line in movie history.

The simple pay-off "Goodbye Mr Bond" said by Goldfinger (played by Gert Frobe) in the 1964 film of the same name came in at number seven.

The Arnold Schwarzenegger line "I`ll be back" has been voted the best parting shot in movie history. The line from the 1984 Terminator blockbuster topped a poll conducted by Odeon Cinemas in the UK to find the most popular pay-off.

And Schwarzenegger`s line "Hasta la Vista, baby", from the sequel Terminator II: Judgment Day, also proved memorable to movie-goers after polling the fourth highest votes.

Second in the survey was the classic line "Frankly my dear, I don`t give a damn", uttered by Rhett Butler to Scarlett O`Hara in Gone With the Wind.

The line "Get busy, or get busy dying", delivered by Morgan Freeman in the Oscar-nominated Shawshank Redemption, was voted third favourite.

But other other more complicated lines also found themselves in the top 10 including the parting shot from Rutger Hauer`s Batty in the cult sci-fi classic Blade Runner.

"I`ve seen things you wouldn`t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tanhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time like tears in the rain ... Time to die," came in eighth in the poll.

Odeon spokesman Richard Storton said: "Many of these lines are so well known that they`ve passed into everyday speech.

"We`ll be putting these in the exits of our cinemas to spark film debate even after people have left the auditorium."

Thanks to Rumpole for the alert.
