The worlds toughest movie quote. - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Lord Humungus · 05-14-2004, 10:25 AM

I posted this awhile ago before the forum went down so I will try again. This quote has haunted my brain for the past 2-3 years.

It was said with a russian accent (I think)..

"Make you strong, like bull!" or perhaps it was "he is strong, like bull".

It was not "There is Something About Mary". I know Ben Stiller said it but thats not the movie we are all thinking of.

I am starting to believe this quote was embedded into us by aliens because we all know it but nobody ever knows where they heard it. If it helps, I know it was started with the Rocky and Bullwinkle show but thats not the movie we are all thinking of. Please end my suffering.

edit: its not Rocky 4 (100% positive about that)

cherriesue · 05-14-2004, 11:52 AM

are you sure it wan't an american indian acccent?

Booray · 05-14-2004, 12:21 PM

Definitely sounds familiar and I can hear the Russian accent in my mind too...

Averett · 05-14-2004, 12:21 PM

I know this. Grrr...

no...it very well might have been...its not "Dances with Wolves". I watched it recently to be sure.

Averett · 05-14-2004, 12:24 PM

If I'm thinking about the right thing, I think a woman says it.

Booray · 05-14-2004, 12:24 PM

I Googled for it and keep stumbling across threads on other sites where people are trying to figure out the same thing...one of whom was yourself!

Lord Humungus · 05-14-2004, 12:25 PM

I've searched the outer-reaches of the internet and came up with nothing...

I've been hunting this down for well over 2 years now.... im telling you...aliens embedded it in our brains

Averett · 05-14-2004, 12:27 PM

This is going to bother me. I'm gonna call up my dad, he's good for this kinda stuff.

Lord Humungus · 05-14-2004, 12:29 PM

i would be your new best friend if you figured it out...for reals

Averett · 05-14-2004, 12:31 PM

My dad didn't know

Gah, this is going to bother me.

Lord Humungus · 05-14-2004, 12:32 PM

join the club my friend......

Averett · 05-14-2004, 12:33 PM

I think it's from a western?

Lasereth · 05-14-2004, 12:40 PM

It sounds like a quote from a videogame. I'm not sure where the Russian accent theme came from, but I swear Ayla said that quote (or something very similar to it) in Chrono Trigger for the SNES. If it's a movie, I got no fuckin clue!

you know..i swear sometimes I think its a woman too... for some reason i remember some russian chick talking to her friend about some guy she just did and she said "he's strong, like bull"

Averett · 05-14-2004, 12:54 PM

I'm thinking more along the lines of an older woman giving a man something to heal him.... like a pill or maybe something simple as some stew. And she says "Make you strong, like bull"

Lord Humungus · 05-14-2004, 01:01 PM

Oooo..thats good...now what movie is it? :P

thespian86 · 05-14-2004, 01:50 PM

theres the princess diaries that says "Your hair is thick, like wolf" in a rusian accent

seretogis · 05-14-2004, 02:01 PM

edit: nevermind, that's not it! :P

noahfor · 05-14-2004, 05:29 PM

I have got a lead, not a very good one though. My dad has been saying this forever, in the damn accent, but he doesn't know where he got it. Senility damnit.

losthellhound · 05-14-2004, 06:24 PM

-Lasereth

"Ayla: Crono you try?! Special Jurassic pork soup! Good stuff! Ayla fight
Reptites. Their leader Azala. Very smart. All in Ioka village fight. No
fight, go to Laruba village. Don't know where village is. Always hide.
Azala want to destroy Ioka AND Laruba. But Ayla no lose. Only when Ayla
dead, give up! Enough. Meet Crono today. Good day! Eat, party, sing, dance!"

"Ayla: Crono, you look for red rock? Rare, red rock sign of power. Ayla
strongest in Ioka village. So Ayla's rock! You want, you challenge Ayla!
You win, then Ayla give to you. Challenge Ayla? [Yes] Bring plenty soup!
Party now, so eat! Crono and Ayla have soup race!"

*insert insane button mashing here*

cherriesue · 05-14-2004, 10:49 PM

I keep getting the feeling that someone (perhaps a woman or an older man) is giving someone (that is weak or sick) something to eat and that person doesn't seem to want to taste it and the woman/older man says that it will make him strong like bull...i don't know...this is so annoying

losthellhound · 05-15-2004, 05:58 AM

Confirmed. Rocky IV

That explains as well how it has become so popular

My first thought was Rocky IV as well. Ivan Drago's wife saying it.

Xiangsu · 05-15-2004, 07:45 AM

I'm pretty sure its not this movie, but it is a possibiliity. Maybe it was Leon in the professional?

MexicanOnABike · 05-15-2004, 12:07 PM

Enemy at the gates?
i don't have the script but it sounds like it could be this... ....

I had a dream where that was my answer too, except I couldn't remember the name of the film and kept calling it "that Call of Duty film".

Lord Humungus · 05-15-2004, 06:35 PM

if i put money on the table, would that make anybody actually find out what movie this was in? hehe..im at that point of torment...

bond007 · 05-15-2004, 07:10 PM

Blazing Saddles???

dirtyrascal7 · 05-15-2004, 08:23 PM

i tried doing a quote search for the keywords strong, like, and bull on imdb.com and here's what it came up with:

link to results.

no matches, unfortunately... not even rocky IV. i'm not sure what to tell ya at this piont... imdb has never failed me before.

Lord Humungus · 05-15-2004, 11:01 PM

take my word for it...you will not find it on the internet (ive spent hours and hours sadly enough). someone has to know someone that knows where this quote is from. but thanks for trying.

losthellhound · 05-16-2004, 07:42 PM

I used askmenow.com and they havent steered me wrong yet. Hell, they helped me find a hotel I was supposed to go to with only "It has a Timothy's coffee shop in it"

Mr.Deflok · 05-16-2004, 09:22 PM

Does the lady get the guy to drink something foul after saying "Make you strong, like bull"?

Kostya · 05-17-2004, 04:10 AM

Damn, this thread just made me want to watch Rocky IV...

BonesCPA · 05-17-2004, 06:18 AM

There is a movie called The Comrades of Summer. It "stars" Joe Montegna as an American baseball manager who gets recruited to manage a group of Russians in baseball. At one point during the movie they all get drunk, and I believe the strong like bull line is said. However, I don't think this is the original usage. Plus I don't think anyone could possibly have this in their video library. You just have to wait for HBO to replay it.

Both these sites make reference to Rocky and Bullwinkle, although that seems to easy.
