This quote is really just more of an excuse to rant on about Megaforce one last time, since I forgot some stuff in my last quote write-up. This will be the last Megaforce quote, I swear. In any case, the context where this line comes up is great. Ace and Guerrera (buddies that they are), are catching up on old times, and Ace accuses Guerrera of stealing his light. Guerrera replies that Ace was so drunk that he'd forgotten he'd given the lighter to Guerrera. Ace replies that he merely lent him the lighter, to which Guerrera responds with this week's quote. It really makes no sense. My explaination for this is simple: as Megaforce didn't have the technology to do multiple takes, they had to get things right the first time around. With that in mind, everyone needed to remember their lines. But these were low-quality, horrible actors. So, like in plays, they had people standing at the side lines with the scripts to refresh the actors' memories if they went blank. 'Ace', which is used such an excessive number of times in the movie, must be the code word the actors used when they forgot their lines. That way, the people on the side could whisper their next line.
By the way, the picture for this quote is from the dreaded 'Flying Motorcycle scene' in Megaforce, and features the worst blue screen I've EVER seen. Agreed?
Ace... I'm sure tha opening quote threw most people off. That's rather the idea. It is known as both an excellent comeback and an extremely baffling line. Of course, for full effect, it must be said by Duke Guerrera in a bad movie like Megaforce. However, if this condition cannot be fulfilled, one can always substitute by using a deep voice. This should give you the general idea. As you can see, there's really not much you can say to that. As an experiment, I tried using it on some friends of mine at school. In response to one of their questions, I replied in a deep voice by saying their name. Needless to say, they were quite taken aback. About the only way to respond is to say (insert opposite name here) in a really slow and drawn out deep voice.
