Aging Action Stars’ One-Liners, Reimagined

“I need some Bengay, motherf***er!”

A Good Day to Die Hard hits theaters this week and, rather miraculously, 78-year-old* star Bruce Willis still manages to hold his own in the role of trigger-happy tough guy John McClane. Below, we suggest some updated, age-appropriate versions of the action movie catch phrases made famous by Willis, Arnold, and the rest of the real-life expendables. Hasta la vista, baby.
