Hint, it is a space version of the magnificent seven..

Uh, this was already mentioned, I believe (though it's a long thread, so... I understand!) and it's Robocop. :D

1: Your gun has gotten you everything you have. Isn't that true? Hmm? Well, isn't it true?
2: Sure. Everything. After a while, you can call bartenders and Faro dealers by their first names. Maybe two hundred of 'em. Rented rooms you live in, five hundred. Meals eaten in hash-houses, a thousand. Home, none. Wife, none. Kids, none. Prospects, zero. Suppose I left anything out?
3: Yeah. Places you're tied down to, none. People with a hold on you, none. Men you step aside for, none.
4: Insults swallowed, none. Enemies, none.
3: No enemies?
4: Alive.
1: Now that's the kind of arithmetic I like!
3: Yeah. I did too, at your age.
The Magnificent Seven.
Man 1: You're taking money from a man that you've never met, who sends you texts telling you to just, show up somewhere.
Man 2: Well...Not just anywhere.
It's actually common. I've not seen Seven Samurai either, or, if I have, it was earlier in the 90s while being snowed in inside a Lithuanian apartment from an old VHS we'd acquired from friends of ours back in the 'States, and, being a youngin', I've completely forgotten it. That, however, is unlikely, however, as my father wasn't (and isn't) into Japanese anything. Instead, I know I've seen Magnificent Seven during that same time (my father was, and remains, very into Westerns and that culture and genre), and enjoyed it thoroughly, though now I barely recall anything unless someone else brings it up.
I'm in the middle of watching the Samurai Trilogy right now, though really, really slowly (stay-at-home-with-toddler = not much time to watch subtitled films*). Really good, actually, and fascinating, if not at all similar to what I know of his life. Apparently based on a book that's similarly different (but based off of the best research at the time?). Still the first was an excellent film.
I do own Seven Samurai, however, and am looking forward to getting to it once I finally have time to finish the Musashi trilogy. That gap in my knowledge shall (likely) not be forever!
Also, TOZ, if I've managed to see it by then, and I remember to bring it, and we end up getting together this summer, I could let you borrow it, if you like!
... that's a lot of "if"s, I'm afraid.
EDIT: Oh, yeah. And as of today I've seen Battle Beyond the Stars. It's... uh... well, it's a film.
* Most of the films I do "watch" of late, I watch while perusing boards, doing laundry or dishes, or some other similar task... or I veg-out on the couch with a blank stare in the vague vicinity of the tv or computer because I'm so stinking tired. Not really conducive to reading subtitles, I'm afraid, despite enjoying subtitled films.

EDIT: Oh, yeah. And as of today I've seen Battle Beyond the Stars. It's... uh... well, it's a film.
I suppose I should elaborate: it's not a bad film, but it's not a good one, either. The corniness and humor wasn't quite funny enough for me to really latch onto it (because of the drama that was supposed to be unfolding), while the drama wasn't quite serious enough for me to get into it (because of the humor or silliness it was also delivered with). Combined with a clunky pacing, and very "enclosed" (and thus small-feeling) sets, and ill-defined extreme question-raising (if sometimes very cool) elements... I wasn't made into a fan.
It felt like a film with a tremendous amount of potential, but none of the correct execution.
That said, there were a number of good moments (the attempted assassination of the villain, or the recruitment of the assassin, for example), but a lot of anvilicious or ham-fisted attempts at drama that just weren't corny enough to hit the, "that's HILARIOUS!" threshold, but weren't good enough to hit the "that's great!" threshold either.
It also didn't help that they had convoluted and uninteresting combats (again, interesting ideas, but not clear or interesting execution) or made reference to a set of ill-defined (religious...? social...? alien-given...? all of the above...?) rules that they all constantly claimed was important, but they all constantly disregarded (about the only clarification we got was: computers shouldn't kill people, people shouldn't kill people; both of these things were thoroughly ignored), but chided others for not following.
The quasi-"drama-bomb" at the end was a little between "out-of-no-where" to "meh", though, and, while sad, we just didn't spend enough time to really care about the characters involved to really justify a strong emotional reaction (to me).
That said, the acting was mostly decent (though not all of it), and the special effects were really impressive for the time. There were a few genuinely good moments to, and some of the humor succeeded. There were some things that were completely "by the book" predictable, but some things... weren't (the fact that the assassin didn't seem to actually be "okay" with his death, and thus any potential nobility was tarnished, was somewhat surprising, for example).
Anyway, it's possible that I'd seen it (or parts of it) on tv or something when I was younger, because several lines sounded eerily familiar, as did a few scenes... but I couldn't for the life of me remember the story, the actors, or the films.

I love this movie.
EB: What kind of fuse is that?
BG: Cannon fuse
EB: What the hell do you use it for?
BG: My cannon!
Same movie, for anyone who needs an extra hint.
I have to admit, it's telling that I know the line you originally quoted - and know it very well, but know it exclusively as "goll darn rec room" ( instead of the asterisk version posted above.
I might even be able to quote some of the second one, too, though I was disappointed they didn't have all of the original cast. It's been a long time, though, so my memories are somewhat hazy at parts. I think I only saw the third one once. And man, this post is throwing hints like confetti.
EDIT:
Sure, why not?
Adding more (after looking them up). :D

Did you notice anything weird a moment ago?
E: Darn, V, listen to me! I'm older and I'm wiser!
V: Yeah, well, you're half-right.
GET OUT OF YOUR PANTS!
No tracks, no sign, no spoor... you'd think after eating all those sheep, they'd have to take a dump someplace.
R: <snip> Couldn't we distract them somehow?
V: Yeah, something to keep 'em busy... like a decoy!
E: Hey, M, wanna make a buck?
Hey! Check this out! I found the butt-end!
E: Hey, R, have you ever seen anything like this before?
V: Oh, sure, E, everyone knows about 'em; we just didn't tell you...
E: They must be long gone by now.
V: Yeah. Hey, why don't you go take a stroll and find out?
V: What's it doing, R?
R: WHY do you keep asking me?!
E: There's no way that W-C is getting his slick mitts on this for no fifteen bucks!
V: You got that right!
Most people at some point: Pardon my French.

I like that; this film just screams "Saturday afternoon TV rebroadcast", doesn't it?
Yyeeeeeeeeeeeeee-up! :D

*Man 2 picks the shovel*
Man 1: "Wait. Hold it, that's a shovel. Here's the pick over here."

I know that movie So. Very. Well.

Hah! I actually missed that you'd posted it! I kept looking at the quote going, "... but there's nothing before that one..." before realizing what you'd meant.
EDIT: though, honestly, I've seen that one less, so without the latter I may have forgotten it.
MS: "The ****** Scroll."
MO: "It is time."
MS: "But who? Who is ready for such limitless power? Who is ready to become, The ****** Warrior?
MO: "I don't know."

:D
I couldn't tell you the movie name, but I'm guessing it involves Abbot and Costello, since it is stylistically so similar to their Who's on First routine, which I am very familiar with.
Here's another quote to chew on:
D: [after J saved D from a monster] You saved my life. Why?
J: Maybe I need to look at another face... even one as ugly as yours.
MS: "The ****** Scroll."
MO: "It is time."
MS: "But who? Who is ready for such limitless power? Who is ready to become, The ****** Warrior?

You are correct, sir! Also, I don't know this one.

D: So you still think human's are ugly.
J: Compared to a Drak. Very ugly. But that thing out there, is even more ugly than you.
Enemy Mine. Another one of my childhood favorites.
I have one similar to that:
Man 1: You saved my life, why?
Man 2: *Realizing what he did* That's a good question. Well there's only one thing a man can do after he's made a mistake as big as this.
Man 3: What's that?
Man 2: Get drunk.
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea!
I must needs see Enemy Mine at some point.
"I hate her crooked teeth. I hate her 1960s haircut. I hate her knobby knees. I hate that cockroach-shaped splotch on her neck. I hate the way she smacks her lips before she talks and I hate the way she sounds when she laughs... I HATE THIS SONG!"
When I was 16, I wanted to be this character...
1. F: Not that I condone fascism, or any -ism for that matter. -Ism's in my opinion are not good. A person should not believe in an -ism, he should believe in himself. I quote John Lennon, "I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me." Good point there. After all, he was the walrus. I could be the walrus. I'd still have to bum rides off people.
Here's another; it's not really a "guy" movie, per se, but you were under a rock in the '90s if you haven't seen it...
2. C:"As if!"
Yes, and yes. Guess I'm just not into obscure enough movies...
