One of my favorite threats has always been from Devil's Rejects.
"Boy the next word that comes out of your mouth better be some brilliant fucking Mark Twain shit. Cause it's definitely getting chiseled on your tombstone." -Otis Driftwood

There was a pretty good one in King Arthur as well. Just before the last batle scene Arthur says something along the lines of, "Mark my face, for it will be the last thing you see on this Earth."
Good list, a few omissions. Would have liked to see this one, (or maybe some others from Guy Ritchie films I'm sure Brick Top's got one or two.
"youve got exactly 3 seconds to wipe that grin off your face, or I will gouge out your eyeballs and skullfuck you". not the most obscene, but not too longwinded either.
it only really works in his voice though.
oh well, its from 'Full Metal Jacket'.

I don't know about everyone else, but I got bored and quit halfway in. Half of them felt like simple threats with cuss words thrown in. The only exception was the one with the Chinese lady, and that's because she brought everyone an example. Though I must admit, the creative ones were fun, like that one from the guy with gold teeth.
Obviously it couldn't be put on the list, because it's in foreign language, but IMO the best threat ever comes definitely from the Polish movie 'Sara'
Translation:
- You're dead.
- I beg you, don't shoot.
- You're dead, and I'll be the one to decide when it will happen.
- But not today, okay?
- If you'll even think about hurting the girl, I'll find you and kill you. There's no such force on the Earth which would stop me from it, you understand?
- Yes.
- No... You don't understand... If the girl will trip and fall down on the street, breaking her leg - you're dead. If she'll get pneumonia - I'll kill you for it. You can shoot to everyone in this country, but she's saint.
- Fine...
- NOT fine... I'll also kill your wife, and your sister, and her kids too. And then, I'll slit your mother's throat. She lives in Płock, doesn't she?
- But mommy never did anything to you...
...
- The driver is in the trunk...

All time Polish classic scene. Especially the delivery of the threat is just awesome

My favourite is obviously Jesus' one. It's ridiculous and believable, and while believing it I take into account it's coming from a creepy fuchsia-clad hispanic man.
Funny you said that, I missed Lock Stock too, but I'd expected this oneSuperior Mind said:
