"What's he paying you boys? I'll double it and we'll beat the sh-t out of HIM."
"If you need me, just call. You know how to dial, don't you? You just put your finger in the hole and make tiny little circles."
"I hadn't seen a body put together like that since I'd solved the case of the Murdered Girl with the Big Tits."
"All dames are alike: they reach down your throat so they can grab your heart, pull it out and they throw it on the floor, and they step on 'em with their high heels, they spit on it, shove it in the oven and they cook the dang out of it. Then they slice it into little pieces, slam it on a hunk of toast, and they serve it to you. And they expect you to say, "Thanks, honey, it's delicious."
"Carlotta was the kind of town where they spell trouble T-R-U-B-I-L, and if you try to correct them, they kill you. "
"But what does "FOC" mean?"
"It's a slang word. It's when a man and a woman are in love, the man puts his..."
As I mentioned in another thread, Steve Martin had a run of genre spoofs: "Pennies From Heaven" was a spoof of musicals; "The Man With Two Brains" was a horror spoof; and "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid" was a spoof of film noir detective stories, cleverly bringing in footage from old black and white films.
No, something with better reviews. However, neither movie, strictly speaking, included any superheroes (AFAIK about Catwoman, the other movie definitely did not.)

I'm guessing that WW won't mind my adding a clue: the movie starred Danny Kaye. George

Once again, you posted a quote from a movie, where you could have posted 1/2 the script without me getting it, except for the one quote you posted. This was from early on in "Red Dawn."

Got to be a spoof of something hard-boiled. I can picture Detective Frank Drebin saying these lines, but I know he did not.
Perhaps this was "DEAD MEN DON'T WEAR PLAID".

It was, indeed, Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid.
As I mentioned in another thread, Steve Martin had a run of genre spoofs: "Pennies From Heaven" was a spoof of musicals; "The Man With Two Brains" was a horror spoof; and "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid" was a spoof of film noir detective stories, cleverly bringing in footage from old black and white films.

I can see how you'd get that from these specific quotes, but no.

No.
This movie mentioned the UK, but does not take place there- at least, not exclusively and is remembered more for other locations than the UK.
I'm sure you saw this movie, even though the reviews were weak, AFAIK. I thought it was fun enough.

BTW, those quotes are neither random nor nondescript. I could have gotten the movie from most of them if they were the only quote.

"And they'll provide an antidote... well, that's if I'm a good boy." "And are you a good boy?" "I guess you'll find out, won't you?"
"A world war." "And this notion makes you sweat?" "Heavens, man. Doesn't it you?" "This is Africa, dear boy. Sweating is what we do."
"Would you like to learn to shoot?" "I can already." "I saw. Very American. Fire enough bullets and hope to hit the target.”
