What a great film. 'I fail to see my family's of any interest to you. I've absolutely no interest in yours. I dislike relatives in general and in particular mine.'

yeah, a true classic. i havn't seen it for years though tbh. i was wondering the misquote was from the bit with the dolls. but yeah completely random guess, so probably not.

I think you are referring to " play it again sam" Casablanca I think

The line is actually "Play it Sam".

Pedant mode off.

Hence why he's saying that it was never actually said in the film.

Ooops -

I don't think James Cagney ever said "You dirty rat" and Michael Caine never said "Not a lot of people know this". However many years later he did help to write a book of the same name.

The actual origin of the "dirty rat" phrase is the 1932 film Taxi!, in which Cagney delivered the line "Come out and take it, you dirty, yellow-bellied rat, or I'll give it to you through the door!" often misquoted as "Come out, you dirty rat, or I'll give it to you through the door!". [Wiki]

"Dont throw those ****** spears at me"

That was never said in Zulu I know that much

but what film was that misquote from that the OP was asking about?

"It doesn't DO anything - that's the beauty of it!"

Hudsucker Proxy?

EDIT: After a quick internet search it seems that everyone is stumped. I would love to know whether the phrase itself was just plucked from the Collective Unconcious and never even came close to existence. Jung would be proud.

"i don't believe it!"

i saw an interview where the victor meldrew actor said that he never actually said that catchphrase in one foot in the grave.

"Elementary, my dear Watson"

He never said it in any of his books, it was written in a review.

In the episodes it tends to be "I do not believe it", so it is sutbley different, but he does say that quite a lot.

j - right on. Same as "Play it again, Sam" or "Badges? We don't need no stinkin' badges". But no, that's not what I'm thinking of.

I thought the badges one was a proper quote? First said in Treasure of the Sierra Madre or something. It was certainly said in Blazing Saddles

I think this is the one... My missus tells me that Holmes never actualy says this in aby of his films/books.

He does say "its all elementary" but not with the dear watson.

Treasure of the Sierra Madre 1948

"Gold Hat: Oiga, senor. We are Federales. You know, the mounted police.
: Dobbs: If you're the police, where are your badges?
: Gold Hat: Badges? We ain't got no badges! We don't need no badges. I don't have to show you any stinkin' badges!
: Dobbs: You'd better not come any closer."

Blazing Saddles 1974

Mexican Bandit "Badges? We don't need no stinking badges"

Blazing Saddles as a spoof almost certainly used this line as a take off of the earlier film.
