We don't need no stinkin...???

How does this quote end and what movie made it famous?

badges? sorry can’t think of the movie of the top of my head, im sure someone will be along shortly to tell ya though.

Badges, we don need no stinkin badges!

Treasure of Sierra Madre

There is also a cartoon spoof of that cite that goes

Badgers, we don’t need no stinking badgers. but I can’t place the movie.

I think the exact quote is,
“We don’t have to show you ANY stinkin’ badges!”
something like this:

**Bogus Federale:**We are the Federale’s,you know,the mounted police.
**Bogart:**If you’re the federale’s where are your badges?
Bogus Federale: (agitated)Badges!We don’t need no badges!We don’t have no badges!WDHTSYASB!

Ithink this is the exact dialog,but someone may come along who knows better.

Here, I think, is the correct line:

“Badges? We ain’t got no badges. We don’t need no badges. I don’t have to show you any stinking badges!”

Which along with “play it again” and “I don’t give a damn” has been condensed into a pop-culture catch phrase.

Treasure of the Sierra Madre, the first father/son Oscar nabber, and one of the finest ever made.

Oh… nah, screw it.

Posts mentioning Treasure of the Sierra Madre as the origin of this oft-misquoted line are technically correct, but I would dare say that most people know it from Blazing Saddles, which spoofs the original with the version given in the OP.

Hope this helps.

From Blazing Saddles http://www.ladyofthecake.com/mel/saddles/sounds/badges.wav

And from * Treasure of the Sierra Madre*

Whether people know it from Blazing Saddles or Treasure… is conjectural. I’m 57, and had forgotten that it was in Blazing Saddles. I only knew it from the original.

I wonder where a 21 year old knows it from? They obviously didn’t just go see Blazing Saddles last night. Curious.

Tha’d be UHF.

Badges? We ain’t got no badges. We don’t have to show you know stinkin’ badges!
