The line comes from Jack Burton, played by Kurt Russell, in the 1986 action comedy Big Trouble in Little China, where Burton delivers it as a cocky explanation for his quick reactions. Fans have quoted it for decades as shorthand for improbable skill and dumb luck, and short clips of the line later circulated online as a reaction sound. Its brevity and confident tone make it easy to drop into gaming videos, sports edits and everyday fail compilations.

Jack Burton's quick boast 'It's all in the reflexes' from Big Trouble in Little China, used as a reaction sound for fast catches, dodges and lucky escapes.
A confident male voice delivers the line in a single smooth breath, with a cocky, self-satisfied tone that lands like a punchline after a close call. The delivery is short and punchy, just over a second long, so it fits neatly over a clip without drowning out the action underneath. It sounds like a boast made right after pulling off something improbable, half joke and half swagger, and that timing is what makes it work. Dropped at the exact moment of a save or dodge, it turns an ordinary reaction into a knowing wink to the audience.
