We Were Soldiers :
General in Hallway: We wouldn't be there if they hadn't already beaten the French Army.
Maj. General Henry Kinnard: French Army? What's that?
Ocean's Eleven:
"They got enough armed personnel to occupy Paris!... OK, bad example."
Mark Twain:
"When have French soldiers won a victory? Scotch soldiers, under the French flag, have won a barren fight or two a few years back, but I am speaking of French ones. Since eight thousand English-men nearly annihilated sixty thousand Frenchmen a dozen years ago at Agincourt, French courage has been paralysed. And so it is a common saying today, that if you confront fifty French soldiers with five English ones, the French will run."
Call of Duty:
In Call of Duty 3, Corporal Keith remarks that the French are only good at "kissin' and surrenderin'" and Major Ingram calls the French Resistance an "oxymoron".
