Who: Ivan Drago (as portrayed by Dolph Lundgren)

What: Four little words

When: November 1985

Where: Rocky IV

Why it's a great moment: Let's consider, for a moment, who Ivan Drago is. This is a man who, in an exhibition match, mind you, killed Apollo Creed in the ring, and said, "If he dies, he dies."

This is a guy who, when he was losing the match to Rocky, picked up his manager by the neck and said he only fights for himself.

And this is a guy who straight up tells his opponent, when he's supposed to be shaking his hand, that he's going to break him.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is not a man interested in sportsmanlike victory. Nor is it a man who cares much about patriotism. This is a man who just loves beating the fuck out of dudes.

And for that, we salute him.
