Can you imagine “Taken” without the “…particular set of skills…” monologue in it?!

I still get the chills from it.

[rver]

His acting was a huge part of the success

[atomariel]

It's his voice it's deadly serious sounding. That's why this movie exploded!!!

[jayosho]

One can say he was Taken back by the success of the film

[darklord]

Dude legitimately thought he was acting in a garbage bin movie but still acted up a performance that became one of his best known works. That's commitment ladies and gents.

[bamesjond]

No one else going to say how accurate his Arnold impression was?

EDIT: I actually got my train stations + city's mixed up. My bad! It was Gare du Nord to du Gare de I'Est.
This movie hit way too close for comfort.
In 2003 I was in Paris going from Gare de Nord to Gare de Sud about 8am on a Sunday morning. I was heading to the airport to go home to Australia.
I had walked part way when I noticed a couple of guys following me but on the other side of the street. Then another guy in front of me slowed down n tried to make conversation. He offered to help carry my overnight bag but when I declined the offer n tried to continue walking he got a little aggressive n then the two guys on the other side crossed over towards me n stood around me saying that they could take me to Gare de Sud by car.
I had a very bad feeling.
Thankfully, but unbeknownst to me at the time, there had been a group of friends, (one guy + two girls), walking about 200 metres behind n they hurriedly came up calling out to me saying "Hey there you are. We've been looking for you! You must've taken the wrong street". They hugged me as if we were friends n that spooked the three guys who then quickly took off.
I don't know what their true intentions were but I don't believe it was to help me.
Thank the Lord above for those three beautiful French strangers that morning. 🙏😊💙

It was not only fun watching Liam take all these guys down one by one, but I think the movie was also successful because it played on every father’s deepest fear. The only difference is that most fathers would be pretty much helpless, having to rely on the authorities .

[isaacsoto]

His voice is just designed to say the coldest shit of all time. He could say “I want a waffle” with a thousand yard stare and you feel like shits bout to go down

[LegacyFTW]

I love hearing these little tidbits from fantastic actors who don't care for the lines that end up being the most iconic and memorable lines in the film. It gives some incredible insight into the effectual melding of a group of capable creators playing their part and maximizing their function within a role; from script-writing, to acting, to relentless pursuit of the perfect shot in the directing and producing of the piece. 👨‍🍳💋

"What do I have to do?" *Arnold Schwarzenegger imitation*

[littlenismo]

After the third one though you have to start to question his parenting skills. I wonder how many kids he used to have that he just never got back...

[carlmclemore]

"If you let my daughter go now, that will be the end of it."

Unfortunately, that would not be the end of it.

[chernxbyl]

mind blowing that the actor who made it actually believable is the one saying it sounded hokey

[spurz]

Imagine if Liam neeson and Jason Statham had a disagreement

[samsaltwell]

“The success of taken was a total surprise.” Seriously? It was written by Luc Besson… a master of action thrillers, from Leon: The Professional, to The Fifth Element, Taxi and Nikita.

When you put your heart to something despite the doubt.

[remowilliams]

Liam Neeson is one of my favorite actors. Own almost all his movies.

[tomioka_giyuu_isnot_depres]

He made a quotable statement. That's what makes a movie good. After your done watching it.

[gulamelaka]

Taken is the movie that gives us all the statisfaction of kicking the bad guys’ assess over and over again. I love this movie.
