10 They Say Most Of Your Brain Shuts Down In Cryo-Sleep – Pitch Black (2000)

10 Most Iconic Vin Diesel Movie Quotes Ranked

They say most of your brain shuts down in cryo-sleep. All but the primitive side, the animal side. No wonder I’m still awake.

This line comes from one of Diesel’s first leading man roles in the sci-fi horror movie Pitch Black. The movie follows a group of space travelers who become marooned on an island filled with creatures that hunt in the dark. However, it is best known for introducing the character of Riddick.

In the opening moments of the movie, Riddick, a criminal being transported on a spacecraft, narrates as the rest of the ship is in cryo-sleep. It is the perfect introduction to this memorable character who is more animal than human.

9 Superman – The Iron Giant (1999)

10 Most Iconic Vin Diesel Movie Quotes Ranked

Diesel is also known for his voice-over work, even if these roles don’t require a large vocabulary from the actor. The underrated and brilliant animated movie The Iron Giant is among Diesel’s most acclaimed movies in which he voices a giant robot who crashes on Earth and is discovered by a young boy.

The movie is funny and entertaining but also heartbreaking as the boy tries to teach the giant that he does not have to be the weapon he was designed to be. In the end, when a missile threatens to destroy the entire town, the giant flies up to intercept it. In his last moments, he remembers the boy’s words that he can be anything he chooses to be. The giant closes his eyes and says, “Superman.”

6 The Thing About Street Fight… The Street Always Wins – Furious 7 (2015)

10 Most Iconic Vin Diesel Movie Quotes Ranked

With his role as Dominic Toretto in the Fast and Furious movies, Diesel creates a down-to-Earth hero who sometimes feels like a blue-collar superhero. This is best seen in Furious 7 when Dom faces off with the villain Deckard Shaw.

It’s hard to find someone who can pose a formidable threat to Diesel, but the addition of Dwayne Johnson in the Fast and Furious franchise was perfect. Johnson plays badass Marshal Luke Hobbs who is assigned to hunt down Dom and his team.

Hobbs finally locates Dom in Brazil and moves in on him in the middle of the street with a well-armed team behind him. He tells Dom he is bringing him in but Dom calmly reminds him they are not in America. The various people on the street then pull guns and outnumber Hobbs and his men.

4 I Don’t Have Friend, I Got Family – Furious 7 (2015)

10 Most Iconic Vin Diesel Movie Quotes Ranked

Despite the action-heavy nature of the franchise, the Fast and Furious movies have always been about family at the heart of it all. Dom creates a close-knit group of people that form a non-traditional but very loving family who will do anything for each other.

It is a concept that Dom holds very dear to his heart and will do anything to protect. It is also his biggest strength against his enemies. When Deckard Shaw tells him to keep his friends close and his enemies closer, Dom responds that he only has family surrounding him.

3 You’ll Always Be My Brother – Furious 7 (2015)

10 Most Iconic Vin Diesel Movie Quotes Ranked

Tragedy struck Hollywood and the Fast and Furious franchise when Paul Walker, who played Brian O’Conner since the first movie, was killed in a car accident. Furious 7 had to complete filming without Walker and the character of Brian retired from the life of high-speed adventures.

But in the final moments of the movie, they pay special tribute to Walker as he and Dom share one last ride together before Brian drives off into the distance. Dom narrates his goodbye to Brian who had become his brother.

2 We Are Groot – Guardians Of The Galaxy (2014)

10 Most Iconic Vin Diesel Movie Quotes Ranked

Much like The Iron Giant, Diesel joined the MCU to voice a giant yet kind creature whose vocabulary is quite limited. Groot is the tree-like being who is best friends with Rocket and the gentlest member of the Guardians of the Galaxy.

It is impressive that Diesel is able to communicate so much despite the fact that the character can only say “I am Groot.” But when Groot sacrifices himself to save his friends, he is able to muster up a slightly different farewell line that somehow says so much.

1 I Live My Life A Quarter Mile At A Time – The Fast And The Furious (2001)

It is strange to think about how the first Fast and Furious movie, which was basically a ripoff of Point Break, managed to spawn one of the biggest franchises in the world. But a lot of it could have to do with the character of Dominic Toretto who was an interesting anti-hero.

Though he is the strong silent type, we get some insight into the character of Dom as he explains his philosophy to Brian. As he sees it, life only really matters when he is behind the wheel and for a few seconds he feels free.
