"Excuse me!"

  • When Darkman first imitates Durant, he takes the necessary steps to fool people into believing the disguise, from recording the voice for practice to making the mask. His first stint as Durant begins with him framing Durant for Armed Robbery. What makes it all the more funny is that the cops immediately arrest the real Durant the next morning while the fake takes his place.
    • When they run into each other it makes it all the more funny when Guzman tries to figure out which one is Durant.
  • "You gotta be shitting me!"
  • During the helicopter scene, Darkman (swinging on the end of a cable) crashes through the window of an office building. He offers a quick apology of "Oh, excuse me!" to the surprised onlookers before he's pulled out of the window again.
  • After Durant's apparent death, Darkman shouts out, "Burn in hell! Mwahahahaha!" What really sells that line is Liam's Evil Laugh.
  • When she discovers Strack is the one behind everything, Julie is naturally worried but he assures he he won't kill her if she keeps quiet. This leads Julie to leave with a priceless deadpan line.
    Julie: If you're not going to kill me...then I have things to do.
  • The One-Scene Wonder thug, Eddie Black in the opening just every scene with him before you know he gets killed is a laugh riot. Extra props to his phone call.
  • Skip the one-legged henchman, whose artificial leg is really a machine gun. After the opening battle, as Durant's thugs come together, Skip is just hopping up and down on his good foot before Smiley extends an arm so Skip can hold onto it for support.
  • "SEE THE DANCING FREAK! PAY 5 BUCKS TO SEE THE DANCING FREAK! ONLY 5 BUCKS TO SEE THE DANCING FREAK! JUST 5 BUCKS!"
  • "TAKE IT! TAKE IT! TAKE THE FUCKING ELEPHANT!"
    • The movie is worth a watch alone to see Liam Neeson of all people being a Large Ham.
