Here's a fascinating look at the most misquoted lines that have crept into our language incorrectly from film. And, yet, many are are now a standard part of our phraseology in their altered form. And there's audio clips for reference. Some are as old as Cagney's "You dirt rat!' and Gary Cooper's "Smile when you say that"; others as recent as Star Trek's "Beam me up, Scotty" nad Star War's "May the force be with you": http://www.filmsite.org/moments0.html Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: Misquoted movie quotations #139655 02/17/2005 1:17 PM Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 6,511 lower upstate New York AnnaStrophic Carpal Tunnel AnnaStrophic Carpal Tunnel Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 6,511 lower upstate New York The one I remember is "Play it again, Sam" perpetuated by Woody Allen.

We don’t need no stinking badges!” Misquoted from a line in The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (another Bogart film) “Judy, Judy, Judy!” Cary Grant (never said it) Now I’ll go look at the sight too.

They confirm or refute the stinking badge reference and if valid provide a verbatim quote. From the Treasure of the Sierra Madre they offer "Badges? We ain't got no badges. We don't need no badges. I don't have to show you any stinking badges!" BTW the link provided by WON (greatest film misquotes) is chock full of pop-up windows.
