Quotes (Teaser Trailer 2)

"I once started a war. The biggest war that the Spectrum had ever seen. The Ediroth War. I made many enemies along the way, and to think that I need their help... well, it isn't ideal. But damn, it's necessary. I'm going to take back Ediroth, and take no prisoners."
-Oldham Road

"I once joined forces with a man some would consider to be a tyrant. A maniacal dictator, if you will. Truth is, this man's stood by me through thick and thin. Even when all seemed lost, he was right there, helping to put him right. I owe him Ediroth."
-Sherylannia

"I finally feel like I'm part of something big. Like I can finally make a difference."
-Domas-Porada, White-Rose

"I once started a war. It wasn't a big war. War against the Good Guys. I made allies, of course, and one very important one in Oldham Road. He betrayed me, and we lost. To think that I need his help... barbaric. We want Ediroth, and no-one's going to get in our way."
-Sabrateur

"I've only been to war when it's been necessary. I've never been much of a fighter, more a diplomat. I prefer the route of statesmanship. Unfortunately, that route is no longer available to me. Here, a fight is necessary. And although I hate to admit it... I'm looking forward to it."
-Calumnius

"This is it. The moment that shapes the Spectrum once and for all. Here's to a good decision."
-Dhatsun, Enthalpy Change

Trivia

• Being the last part of the trilogy, advertising and hype for the film has more than tripled over The Good Guys 2: The Rise of S.A.T.O.
• Some critics have slammed the film, claiming the heavily fictionalised plot be 'ludicrous'. The director simply stated, "Screw you."
