This doesn’t count as a misquote. Sorry, gotta drop a flag on this one. Hmmm… Well, I still reserve the right to be indignant and correct people whenever they say it their way. I shall also stomp my feet and wave my fist about, carelessly. That seems appropriate. 😛 ---

I believe the line “Come with me to the Casbah!” (spoken in a thick french accent by an oily male lead) was attributed to Charles Boyer’s character in the movie “Algiers”, but in reality he never spoke this line in this, or any other movie. Still, it was frequently used by impressionists and cartoon characters as a way of imitating Boyer’s suave french lover characters. ---

This line is from a Sega Genesis game called Zero Wing. Also from the same game: “You have no chance to survive make your time” “Move zig. For great justice.” “Somebody set up us the bomb” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/most-common-movie-misquotes/92575.md?page=1)
