In that movie, does the character who said, “Badges? We don’t need no stinking badges,” have a name? What was it?
From IMDB.com:
Quote Search - Here are the quotes containing “stinking badges”:
Blazing Saddles (1974)
Mexican Bandit: Badges? We don’t need no stinking badges!
Treasure of the Sierra Madre, The (1948)
Gold Hat: Badges? We ain’t got no badges. We don’t need no badges. I don’t have to show you any stinking badges.
So it looks like Blazing Saddles was spoofing a scene from Treasure of the Sierra Madre.
He was billed as “Gold Hat”, but we never hear his real name. The actor was Alfonso Bedoya, and “that movie” is The Treasure of the Sierra Madre.
IIRC, he was called that because he had a gold hatband.
You people never cease to amaze me.
You can learn how to do this too. Go to:
This is the search page for the IMDb. On the left-hand side you’ll see an entry for “Extra Content” and under this a link for “Browsable Sections”. Click on that. On the page that that takes you to, look on the left-hand side. Click on “Quotes”. On the page that that takes you to, enter “stinking badges” in the box for quotes to be searched for and click on “Go”. You will get two quotes from movies, one from The Treasure of the Sierra Madre and one for Blazing Saddles, just like in bordelond’s post above. Click on “Gold Hat” and you’ll get the page for Alfonso Bedoya. The IMDb is your friend.
Yes but…After a combined two years of lurking and membership here, there was finally a movie question I knew the answer to and you guys beat me to it.
NO FAIR!!! :mad:
“Badgers? We don’t need no stinking badgers!”
-Raul Hernandez, UHF.
Barges? We don’t need no sinking barges.
Oh, and someone said it in “The Ninth Configuration,” but that itself was a reference to “Treasure of Sierra Madre.”
I was in a Dutch cheese shop (yes, they do have them) and the tri-lingual assistant (yes, they all are) said they didn’t need no bad cheeses.
Thank you, I’m here all week (or weak).
Um, ‘stinking bad cheeses’.
FWIW, I don’t recall the character being named in the book, either, although I do recall the line is slightly different.
If I can locate my copy I will confirm this.
When I was in Australia, I had a pair of mating parakeets. They had a brood, but I didn’t want to keep the hatchlings. I took them to a local pet shop and asked the man behind the counter if he wanted them. Can you guess what he told me?

BUDGIES? WE DON’T NEED NO STEEEENKING BUDGIES!
Then my dogs had a litter of all females and I tried the pet shop again. This time the guy said …
