Don't forget the famous line from Breaker Morant when the firing squad was at the ready.

"Shoot straight Lads, Don't make a mess of it".

And for bonus, here is the Poem he wrote while waiting in the stockade before being shot.

Butchered to make a Dutchman's Holiday
In prison cell I sadly sit,
A dammed crestfallen chappie,
And own to you I feel a bit--
A little bit—unhappy.

It really ain’t the place nor time
To reel off rhyming diction ;
But yet we’ll write a final rhyme
While waiting crucifixion.

No matter what end they decide
Quick-lime? or boiling oil? sir
We’ll do our best when crucified
To finish off in style, sir !

But we bequeath a parting tip
For sound advice of such men
Who come across in transport ship
To polish off the Dutchmen.

If you encounter any Boers
You really must not loot ‘em,
And, if you wish to leave these shores,
For pity’s sake, don’t shoot ‘em.

And if you’d earn a D.S.O.,
Why every British sinner
Should know the proper way to go
Is: Ask the Boer to dinner.

As an aside--the actual unit at Roarke's was less than 20% Welsh at the time; they became an all-Welsh unit about 20 years later. Did not stop the movie from being great.

It probably never was "all-Welsh". About 20% of every Regiment in the British Army was Irish until the early 1900s.

Under the Localisation Scheme of 1971, the regiment was stationed in Brecon, Wales in 1873, and recruited mainly from the southern Welsh counties of Brecknockshire, Monmouthshire and Herefordshire. So, after six years, the number of Welsh would have been on the rise. Although, it would take some time for the Welsh to outnumber the Midland Tommies.

It was renamed "The South Wales Borderes" in 1881, two years after the battle, under the Childers Reforms.

Would have said The Matrix, since the John Wick scene was an homage to The Matrix.

(And was the coolest scene I ever saw in a movie for a long while).

Don't feel like back tracking but I saw a number of other Snatch quotes that never got called.

"What if it was one guy with six guns?"

"Why don't you let me do the thinking, huh, genius?"

Boondock Saints.

These are all by our hero right after another:

"You know if you shoot me in the stomach, my chances of surviving go up right ?"
"Let me help you out."
"How 'bout a hole in the chest ?"
"Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right, Ha, the brain Stem !,
