Question 1 of 10
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?
Hint


Question 2 of 10
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."


Question 3 of 10
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? Hint


Question 4 of 10
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?

Answer: (First and Last Name or just Last Name)
Question 5 of 10
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? Hint


Question 6 of 10
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?
Hint


Question 7 of 10
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? Hint


Question 8 of 10
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? Hint


Question 9 of 10
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?

Answer: (Two Words)
Question 10 of 10
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? Hint

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?

Answer: "You played it for her, you can play it for me... If she can stand it, I can. Play it!"

Amazingly, even though the quote isn't anywhere close to "Play it again, Sam," people persist in saying it incorrectly! And they also insist that it was Bogart's character that said it! Actually, Bergman's character came closest to actually saying it that 'wrong' way when she said simply, "Play it, Sam."
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."

Answer: True

Of course, it's besides the point that the originally filmed quotation was actually "Obi-Wan killed your father." James Earl Jones' voice overdubbed all the movies, replacing the voice of David Prowse, the actor who actually acted the role.
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?

Answer: He said all of these

It's true! Kirk never actually said, "Beam me up, Scotty." The phrase became popularized when it was used on bumper stickers, saying, "Beam me up Scotty. There's no intelligent life down here."

Kirk DID use each of the other phrases at one point or another. He used "Scotty, beam us up" in the episodes "The Gamesters of Triskelion" and "The Savage Curtain," and he uttered "Scotty, beam me up" in "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home." "Beam us up, Scotty" was only heard in the short-lived animated series episodes "The Lorelei Signal" and "The Infinite Vulcan".
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?

Answer: Joe Friday

Another variation spoken by Joe Friday was, "All we know are the facts, ma'am." In reality, it was a spoof of "Dragnet" in the form of a record by satirist Stan Freberg in 1953 entitled "St. George and the Dragonet" that truncated the phrase to "Just the facts, ma'am." Somehow, popular (if misguided) opinion has the phrase being uttered on "Dragnet" itself.

Hey, no one ever said that large groups of people are highly intelligent.
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?

Answer: "...ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya, punk?"

Clint Eastwood's line has also been reduced in spoof homages over the years. Jim Carrey used it in "The Mask", but he was actually pretty accurate, only changing the word 'punk' to 'punks.' Rowan Atkinson used it in his 1997 self-titled film, "Bean" exactly as it never was: "Do you feel luck, punk?" It has also shown up in various other situational comedies in different variations ("Scary Movie 2", "The Office", "The Nanny", "Transformers", and the list goes on).
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?

Answer: "my dear"

And then there's the original novel itself, wherein author Margaret Mitchell has Rhett Butler simply saying, "My dear, I don't give a damn." The word 'frankly' isn't used at all! So, everybody gets it wrong, including the ones who quote it from the movie (in)correctly!
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?

Answer: "Ah, Houston, we've had a problem."

Of course, we all know that Hollywood strives to its utmost to be true to every historical detail in its movies. We would NEVER expect them to portray history as anything but what ACTUALLY happened.

Yeah, I couldn't say that without laughing either. At least Ron Howard and crew did a good job in having the action truly take place in zero gravity. Yes, they made those poor actors go up and down in a plane, filming the scenes in those snippets when positive Gs turned to negative Gs. It took them 612 parabolic flights at 25 seconds each to get enough film for the movie's zero-gravity scenes.
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?

Answer: "Mmm, that dirty, double-crossin' rat!"

Never let it be said that Cagney never got his chance to actually say the misquoted catchphrase, though. In his AFI Lifetime Achievement Award acceptance speech at a 1974 ceremony Cagney quipped, "Oh, Frankie, I never said 'Mmm, you dirty rat!' What I actually said was 'Judy, Judy, Judy!'"

Of course, that was a reference to another famously misquoted phrase (not appearing in this quiz) attributed to Cary Grant.
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?

Answer: Ed Wood

In Tim Burton's "Ed Wood," the character of Dr. Tom Mason (played by Ned Bellamy) practices his impersonation of Lugosi (played by Walter Landau), using the famously UNsaid quotation, "I want to suck your blood."

As far as I can tell, the closest thing Lugosi said in the 1931 "Dracula" that referenced drinking was when he offered Renfield a glass of wine to drink, and when Renfield asked, "Aren't you drinking?", Dracula responded, "I never drink...wi-i-i-ne."
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?

Answer: "Let's get the hell out of here!" ("The City on the Edge of Forever")

DeForest Kelley used the non-cussing "I'm a doctor, not a..." phrase eleven times while he played the role, and the various other doctors from the other "Star Trek" series have each had their own opportunities to continue the tradition. Kelley even famously parodied himself in an advertisement for a "Trivial Pursuit" commercial when he stated, "How should I know? I'm an actor, not a doctor!"
