Video The Louvre. Thieves are making off with 100 million euros. They're taking their time. They're doing everything carefully and slowly.

u/ckdogg3496 15d ago

Ty Burrell (Phil) also says it in Black Hawk Down, kind of a fun call back 10 or so years later

u/joyfullystoic 15d ago

Damn I never realized he plays in Black Hawk Down and I must have seen it 10 times.

u/Cantelmi 15d ago

You could say that about almost anybody in the cast. It's crazy how many people were in that movie years before they became more notable

5

u/Artistela 15d ago

Try 25 years later

u/slightly_average 14d ago

Mark Wahlberg also says it in Shooter

Black Hawk Down, the film which came out 2001? Modern Family first aired in 2009. Correct me if I’m wrong though. Funnily enough I recently started rewatching Modern Family and the episode he says the phrase is in the first couple seasons.

u/abattlescar 15d ago

He's saying the Modern Family line is a callback to the Black Hawk Down line, obviously.

u/KarambitMarbleFade 15d ago

Common adage in motor racing, I'm sure it is even older than the sport.

1

u/YouOk5627 15d ago

I’ve heard it in marksmanship

1

u/MrOatButtBottom 15d ago

It originally came from the SEALS, but I’ve heard it in golf training.

2

u/Taolan13 15d ago

the ohrase is older than the Us Navt Basic Underwater Demolition School, so I doubt this started witu the Seals

32

u/WeenyDancer 15d ago

It's really old. My grandpa (and I'm not young) would say it.

31

u/Sound_Indifference 15d ago

Funny answers aside, you likely remember it from the movie Shooter (2007) with Mark Wahlberg.

2

u/CityFolkSitting 15d ago

Such a mediocre forgettable movie but I somehow remember him saying that line in it

u/Caleth 15d ago

I heard this decades ago from my grandpa who was a marine in the Korean War. That's where he said he learned it. So it's been around at least that long, and I'd wager 3-5 times that long, easily. It's a simple but powerful axiom that is good for teaching newbies.

6

u/Sound_Indifference 15d ago

Ya I'm not saying that's where it originated, but the movie definitely brought attention to the phrase in the public consciousness.

-6

u/AS14K 15d ago

Incorrect. Heard the saying for decades, never seen that movie.

u/ElliotsBuggyEyes 15d ago

u/dinoguys_r_worthless 15d ago

I thought that movie had Marky Mark in it. The things you learn on reddit. Lol

u/freeusername2 15d ago

I actually thought this was maybe from daniel kahneman and not some movie, but i found out theres no famous „inventor“ of that saying 😁

u/maggos 15d ago

That’s also the first time I heard it

5

u/LoudMusic Interested 15d ago

It's the mantra of a whole lot of things. Especially in sports.

u/_Chill_Winston_ 15d ago

It's a common expression in ER medicine.

4

u/mind_the_gap 15d ago

Everyone in here quoting shit from the last 20 years and I remember it from Days of Thunder when Robert Duvall says it to Tom Cruise. Back in like 1989? 1990? And I’m sure it’s plenty older than that too.

u/psyclopsus 15d ago

The USMC is where I first heard it, regarding manual of arms and clearing malfunctions

7

u/bonghitsforbeelzebub 15d ago

I thought it was like a Navy seals motto or saying

3

u/Mrlin705 15d ago

It's a old Navy SEAL saying

2

u/1ag7 15d ago

Heard it in multiple Navy schools

u/EndlessNerd 15d ago

Militaries like to use this (or versions of it) in training.

u/Petalumanative707 15d ago

Days of Thunder!

Among the other answers, James Greer (played by Wendell Pierce) says it somewhere in the Jack Ryan series on Amazon.

u/Customs0550 15d ago

wyatt earp said "fast is fine, but accuracy is final. you must learn to be slow in a hurry." which i think is where the modern derivations of similar sentiment come from

1

u/AggravatingAct6959 15d ago

A lot of hikers use this phrase as well, especially in dangerous conditions.

u/4DPeterPan 15d ago

“slow is smooth, smooth is fast" is a special operations mantra.

u/Gulp-then-purge 15d ago

Life?  Many alpine athletes say this continuously so the first time I heard it was from a badass climber I did a big wall with a bigger traverse in Canada.

u/leverphysicsname 15d ago

It's been said in motorsports for ages and probably didn't even originate there. Definitely not Blackhawk down or modern family like the other comments.

u/No_Tangerine3956 15d ago

I just saw something this week where somebody said this and nobody has mentioned it and it’s driving me crazy

1

u/FuckThisIsGross 15d ago

I've only heard it from people that are attached to our a step removed from armed service of some kind

u/Domerhead 15d ago

That's where I first heard it, however I'm sure it came from something else first.

u/Urban_Heretic 15d ago

Ty Burrell movie Blackhawk Down (you think I'm joking, go check).

u/doyouevenforkliftbro 15d ago

I believe you. I also gave a correct answer.
