Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. You'd think after years and years and YEARS of a movie existing that people would get the quotes right. It was what, 1942 when "Casablanca" came out? And people STILL think Bogart said, "Play it again, Sam." I have to bite my tongue from screaming at them, "No, you dolt! Bogart actually said, "__________________.""
How does the line actually go?
2. And then there's one of my favourites: People trying to imitate James Earl Jones' deep voice as they misquote Darth Vader saying, "Luke, I am your father." I want to laugh in their faces and then quote it correctly!
First Vader says, "Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your father."
Luke replies, "He told me enough! He told me you killed him."
Then Vader ACTUALLY says, "No. I am your father."
3. Staying with Sci-fi, another one that really gets my goat is when people insist that Captain Kirk always said "Beam me up, Scotty!" Go ahead, I challenge any one of you to watch the original series and the movies and find where he says it! By then, you'll know for sure what Kirk actually DID say... can you pick it out?
4. Ooh, that reminds me of another TV show that people are always wrong about. Do your homework! You make yourself sound like an idiot when you get it wrong! I'm talking about "Dragnet's" erroneous catchphrase, "Just the facts, ma'am." Remember who (didn't) say that? I'll bet you do! What he actually said was, "All we want are the facts, ma'am." Who am I talking about?
5. Keeping with cops, another misquote that makes me hot under the collar is 'Dirty' Harry Callahan NOT saying "Do you feel lucky, punk?" Stop grinding your teeth in your horrible imitation and get it right! What does Callahan actually say?
6. You can't call yourself a true movie buff if you get this quote wrong! The unwashed masses insist that Clark Gable's Rhett Butler says "Frankly, Scarlett, I don't give a damn!" in 1939's "Gone With the Wind." I shouldn't have to remind you that he REALLY said, "Frankly, _________, I don't give a damn!"
What goes into the blank?
7. All right, all right! Sometimes you DO get the quote from the movie right. Now the problem is the MOVIE getting the quote wrong! Take "Apollo 13" for example. The imbeciles who wrote the script had Tom Hanks as Jim Lovell saying "Houston, we have a problem." That, of course, was not how it really happened. FIRST, astronaut JACK SWIGERT said, "OK, Houston, we've had a problem here." THEN, confirming, what did Lovell say?
8. Right alongside poor impressions of Clint Eastwood and James Earl Jones are impressions of James Cagney. Seriously. Don't even try. Either way, don't bother saying "Mmm, you dirty rat!" Cagney never said that. What DID he say?
9. "I want to suck your blood!" Maybe then you would stop quoting lines that were never spoken! You may THINK Bela Lugosi said it in 1931's "Dracula," but he never said anything of the sort. Maybe you're thinking of the campy 1994 film by Tim Burton where one of the characters said it to make fun of Lugosi? What was that film called again?
10. I have to bring up "Star Trek" again, because it really burns my bottom to hear people supposedly quoting (imitating, anyway) Dr. McCoy by saying, "Damn it, Jim, I'm a doctor, not a... (insert whatever you want here)." In fact, there was only ever ONE instance of 'swearing' in the whole run of the original series, and Kirk said it, not McCoy. What did Kirk say?
