They could have turned the second line into something about giving him a pauper's funeral if he doesn't take them to the money.
Lithgow's lines aren't very good in the whole movie though.
"Get off my back Quaylan!"
"Off-I havent got on it it yet."
Gruber or Strannix he is not.
I also don't agree because Lithgow is so menacing that he makes the cheesy lines work. I actually eally like the corny "Off-I haven't gotten on it yet" line. He is no Simon Gruber but you are comparing Lithgow in Cliffhanger to Alan Rickman in one of the greatest action movies of all time. You seem to be one of those all or nothing type movie watchers. Just an observation. My taste is much more broad - I like silly dumb action movies and intelligent action movies. Cliffhanger I rate 7/10 and Die Hard I rate 9/10. Big difference but both are good imo, just for different reasons.
It is still nitpicking regardless. I mean if it really bothers you that much than I guess it's a valid complaint but I don't think the dialogue bothers most people in the context of this movie. Now if that line was said in a serious drama then it would be horrible. Such dialogue is often used in silly action movies and it often makes them more fun imo.
