The Five Top Direct-to-Video Action Movie Lines in the Sniper: Ghost Shooter Trailer

A new trailer was released Tuesday for Sniper: Ghost Shooter, and it looks exactly like what you’d expect the trailer for Sniper: Ghost Shooter would look like. Did you know this is the sixth film in the Sniper franchise, which began with 1993’s Sniper, and includes Sniper 2, Sniper 3, Sniper: Reloaded, and Sniper: Legacy? If not, you could probably deduce it from the trailer, which is a child’s garden of low-rent Tom Clancy technobabble. Every single line is priceless, but here are the five all-time greatest.

“Take the shot! Rampage! Rampage, take the shot!”

This line sounds silly now, but it’ll sound a lot less silly when the producers are driving around in Ferraris bought with the money from the seven Code Name: Rampage movies.

“The MQ-1 Predator will be our eyes in the sky.”

Always be as specific as possible with the model numbers for any hardware in the film. Ideally, the next line of dialogue would be, “Actually, ma’am, we replaced that with the General Atomics MQ-1C Gray Eagle.”

“We’re gonna hit ’em back. And we’re gonna hit ’em back hard.”

Based on absolutely no evidence, I’m going to say that this is a trademark line in all of the Sniper films, sort of an “I’ve got a bad feeling about this” fan-service thing.

“You, or someone on your team, is feeding our coordinates to Gazakov.”

Is Gazakov the ghost shooter? Does he shoot like a ghost, or shoot ghosts? Would Sniper: Ghost Buster be a better movie? Regardless, in this kind of movie “you, or someone on your team” always means “you.” Don’t trust this guy; he’s clearly busting ghosts with Gazakov.

“Sniper is what we are. No hesitation.”

Sniper is what we are! Snipers is what we are? Sniper are what we is? We snipers are what? Sniper am that I am.
