Interesting; I didn't know that was a movie reference. I had usually only seen it used in conjunction with "kill it with fire" (eg when fire wasn't enough).

The first recollection I have of it is this reaction gif (which must be 15+ years old by now): https://tenor.com/view/stickman-nope-funny-crazy-destroy-gif...

Well, FWIW, you’re missing a good action-filled sci-fi flick that still stands up well after 35 years, IMO. (And believe me, I know what it’s like to recommend movies to youngsters that, whoops, didn’t age so well. I’m looking at you, Eacape from New York.)

The original, though the full films are highly recommended:
