In 2001, Angelina Jolie donned hotpants and grabbed a pair of guns for the adventure movie, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. The film – directed by Simon West – was based on the ever-popular Tomb Raider gaming series, and offered audiences some high-octane action, alongside some treasure hunting fun.
Brainless, campy, and a little daft, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider wasn’t a hit with the critics, but it did prove fairly successful at the box-office. The movie also boasted a strong turn from Jolie, who played the lead role of Croft.
Irrespective of the critical reception, since its release, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider has built up a loyal following amongst fans who enjoy the action, as well as the corny dialogue. Speaking of which, let’s take a look at some of the dialogue, with the most memorable lines from the film.
