Offer 'em up: the most outragous cases of characters lying through their teeth or making statements that later turned out to be false.

To get started:

"A half truth is the worst kind of lie." -- Delenn (if anything she was telling half truths every time she opened her mouth)

Any time anyone referred to a Trek captain as anything other than an incompetent buffoon...

"What I told you was true, from a certain point of View."-Ghost of Kenobi

"I am invincible!" - Most egomaniacal villains right before they suffer an extremely messy and ironic death.

"We are the superior beings!" - Numerous Daleks.

Hey, they may have come up with time travel technology but until 'Resurrection of the Daleks' they still couldn't cope with stairs!

Cybermen, otoh, were just plain cool. Except for gold and and really damn high amounts of damage (eg, being on board a ship when it crashes into earth) there was just no stopping the damn things...

B&B claiming Enterprise will recapture the spirit of adventure and wonder that TOS had.

all these 'we have evolved beyond such bestialites/barbaric behaviour' from indoctrinated SF commie assholes.

"Gossomer Kill!" (Has anyone ever seen Gossomer the Martian dog hurt ANYTHING, hell he's usually grabbing ahold of the hero's lackey in a more "I'm scared hold and love me" type action....

We know Gossmer has to have been fixed at too young an age. After all even a female dog has more "Conchas" then "Gossemer"

"They are obviously highly inteligent" - Signs. Yeah thats why they could figure out how to use a fucking door nob, and decided to hunt a spiecies that is made of 75% death to them on a planet which surface is covered in 70% death, death is a common house hold showers, and it constantly showers death.

"We come in peace."

Seen in countless movies and shows. Invariably a lie.

But wait, she didn't say that she didn't lie did she? All she says is that a half truth is the worst lie, not that she didn't lie herself. Well, at least in that quote.

First thing that comes to mind: "Mars Attacks"

"Puny earthmen who can save you now."-Ming The Merciless, and countless baddies since, always proved wrong.

It's part of bonehead culture that they aren't supposed to lie...

Unless they are doing so to save face for another...

Yeah, but that's not what the specific quote said though. Ah I'm being too nitpicky. Whatever.

Not so much a lie as a leap to a conclusion:

"Dispatch War Rocket Ajax to bring back his body!"- Ming the Merciless speaking on Flash Gordon

And the quote about the solar eclipses being "no cause for alarm," though I don't remember the exact wording.

Whenever a character in a Godzilla movie says the new weapon will kill Godzilla, they are always wrong.
