famous movie quote

This has to be the most oft-quoted line in movies, the bitch of it is I’ve seen it and I can’t remember the original movie.

“Badges?!? We don’t need no stinking badges!”

The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948)

http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0040897/

It was also satirized in “Blazing Saddles” http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0071230/.

And was parodied in UHF: “Badgers? We don’t need no stinkin’ badgers!”

thanks MML, as I’ve said, I know it’s widely used in other movies
