From one of my favorite movies that sends chills up my spine every time I watch it: The Ghost and the Darkness
Charles Remington: "I'm a very considerate man. My mother taught me that. What the hell you laughing about? You don't think I'm considerate?"
Samuel: "I don't believe you had a mother.”
"We have an expression in prize fighting: 'Everyone has a plan until they've been hit'. Well my friend, you've just been hit. The getting up is up to you."
Charles Remington
Col. John Henery Patterson talking to his wife:“Darling... you know how God invented liquor so the Irish wouldn't rule the world. Well, I think he may have invented being stubborn so we can be the best at something.”
Samuel: [narrating] The men called them the Ghost and the Darkness. There were two of them, and that had never happened before because man-eaters are always alone. They owned the night but they also attacked in daylight. Alone or together. Without fear or reason. Some thought they were not lions at all, but the spirits of dead medicine men come back to spread madness. Or they were the devil sent to stop the white man from owning the world. I believed this... that they were evil. What better ground for evil to walk than Tsavo? Because this is what the word Tsavo means; "a place of slaughter".

Patterson was a real person. Rimington wasn't. He was added for a dramatic effect. He never says he is one of the Rimington, but it is implied in the line...
Charles Remington: [melancholy] My life was shaped because someone invented gunpowder, and that's what took me around the world. But the memory that I wanted, that was the family that I lost.

I couldn't imagine John Wayne doing that role. Although, the Inspector Callahan thing was probably done a few too many times. (When was he going to get a semi-automatic already so he wouldn't have to worry about the six shoots?) Eastwood was actually better - more spontaneous somehow - playing a criminal in Thunderbolt and Lightfoot.

Unforgiven, 1992
"Its a hell of a thing, killing a man. You take away everything he's got and everything he's ever gonna have."
"I've killed women and children. I've killed everything that walks or crawls at one time or another. And I'm here to kill you, Little Bill, for what you done to Ned."
"Deserve's got nothin' to do with it."

Easily one of the most quotable movies ever!

I read the story of Col Patterson and the maneaters of Tsavo a very long time ago in Argosy magazine. Most of the article was from an interview with Patterson. The part I remember most was his account of the end of the fight. He ended up on the ground right next to one of the lions as it was dying. He was pretty torn up and put his foot against it to push away from it. The lion bit him through the instep of his foot. Patterson said of all the injuries he had during that encounter that was the most painful by far.
Stories of vampires, demons and other spectral and imagined horror figures are scary at times. But for one who has hiked and hunted the backcountry and faced off with bears and cougars (not that kind! real ones), this story chills my soul. A 500 lb killing machine stalking you and intent on eating you scares the crap out of me.
Another little tidbit about the real story and the movie: the ones in the movie were maned lions. The real ones were maniless males.
Thi is the real ones stuffed at the museum:

"He does have a small penis." Julia Sawalha in Bottom, episode "Parade"
Okay, not a 'great line' exactly, but one which apparently written exactly and specifically for me and which I was unaware of until earlier today. Rik (RIP) and Ade doing the Lord's work there...
