movie quotes you definitely get wrong
before we begin we publish new videos
every day so be sure to subscribe for
more great content for this list we’re
taking a look at classic lines for
movies that people frequently misquote
either due to poor paraphrasing poor
memory or maybe even the Mandela effect
this is Robinson you’re trying to seduce
me
since many of these famous quotes come
from important and iconic moments in
film a spoiler alert is now in effect
[Music]
who’s the fairest of them all number 10
you’re gonna need a bigger boat jaws
you’re going to need a bigger coach
aside from making everyone afraid to go
back in the water
Jaws also gave us plenty of memorable
quotes whenever something turns out to
be more difficult or dangerous than it
appears people tend to take a page from
this scene thing we’re gonna need a
bigger boat however Roy Scheider’s Brody
actually says you’re going to need a
bigger boat shortly after jaws emerges
from the water we’re going to need that
bigger cage since this is a three-man
operation it arguably would have made
more sense if Brody had said we’re as
opposed to your oar didn’t need a bigger
boat then again Scheider improvised this
line on the spot so he probably didn’t
have much time to think it through I’m
going to need a bigger drill number nine
toto I have a feeling we’re not in
Kansas anymore The Wizard of Oz don’t
confirm Kansas any use to lions and
tigers and Miss quotes oh my if ever
someone winds up in a strange or
unfamiliar place chances are this
reference from The Wizard of Oz will be
on the tip of their tongue you are not
in Kansas anymore since pop culture has
a penchant for paraphrasing it’s often
assumed that Dorothy says Toto I don’t
think we’re in Kansas anymore
oh and I’m games anymore audiences have
seemingly forgotten that her real line
is happy feeling we’re not in Kansas
anymore
considering this line made the American
Film Institute’s list of the 100
greatest movie quotes you think the
Dorothy’s exact words would be etched
into our brain even after countless
viewings though audiences still can’t
get it right because unless they’ve
decorated a gate room I don’t think
we’re in Kansas anymore
number eight magic mirror on the wall
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Snow
White is a perennial Disney classic our
introduction to the Evil Queen is
equally iconic and the villain says
magic mirror on the wall who is the
fairest one of all why then to so many
people say Mirror Mirror interestingly
enough people are technically getting
the quote correct it’s the film that
actually got the line wrong mirror
mirror on the wall is this not the most
perfect kingdom of them all as with many
of their fairy tale adaptations Disney
took a number of liberties with Snow
White substituting Mirror Mirror with
magic mirror was one of them so in this
case everyone’s right and wrong on the
rule
[Music]
the mole number seven if you build it he
will come
Field of Dreams if ever someone needs to
foreshadow something in an ominous or
bizarre way this is a favored misquote
in the film Kevin Costner’s Rey builds a
baseball field after a mysterious voice
says if you build it they will come at
least that’s what most people think the
voice says if you build it they will
come here the dreams the actual quote is
the individual the voice is speaking of
plays a pivotal role in the film’s
touching finale
seeing how Rey’s field attract multiple
people though we can definitely see why
this quote is often misinterpreted for
this is some kind of weird if you build
it they will come moment number 6 this
is Robinson you’re trying to seduce me
the Graduate Finch you’re trying to
seduce me
the Graduate is a seminal film with a
lot of iconic moments including this one
contrary to popular belief however
Benjamin doesn’t ask this is Robinson
are you trying to seduce me
the real quote is this is Robinson
you’re trying to seduce me
[Laughter]
[Music]
aren’t you the misquote combines the
accusation with the subsequent question
which like a few of our other entries
just gets the gist across are you trying
to seduce me besides getting the
particulars of the quote wrong a lot of
people also forget that mrs. Robinson
denies attempting to seduce Benjamin
immediately afterwards this is Robinson
are you trying to seduce me it’s Judith
call me mrs. Robinson number 5 play it
Sam Casablanca
even if you’ve never seen Casablanca
there’s little doubt that you’ve seen
countless parodies of the film in
popular culture oddly enough though
every parody seems to get this quote
wrong late again son the exact words
played against them are never said in
Casablanca
despite the phrases popularity with
everyone from Woody Allen to Tony
Bennett play against and additionally
although usually associated with
Humphrey Bogart’s wreck the real quotes
which are variations on play it and play
it Sam are split between Rick and Ingrid
Bergman Ilsa but hey always have passion
number four good evening Clarice the
Silence of the Lambs hello Gladys
Clarice
Clarice Starling interactions with
Hannibal Lecter are among the creepiest
moments in cinematic history believe it
or not though the imprisoned cannibal
never says hello Clarice in the Silence
of the Lambs
the real quote is good evening Harry
which leads us to believe that most
people have generalized the greeting to
make it easier to reference at any time
of day granted there is a scene in the
2001 sequel where dr. Lecter says hello
Carrie yet it’s safe to assume that
everyone associates this line with the
original film hello Clarice
number 3 Scotty beam us up the Star Trek
franchise Scotty beam was a fast a
catchphrase that’s never been said by
anyone most illogical wouldn’t you agree
mr. Spock most good logic
Captain Kirk has said gaudy beam us up
and even beam them out of that country
however he never actually said beam me
up Scotty in the original Star Trek
series or the accompanying movie Scotty
B Mia this entry is yet another instance
of a famous quote being born from a
reordering of real quotes almost like
one of the franchise’s infamous
transporter accidents hey Masada it does
offer some nice context though and it
certainly found its place in pop culture
with even George Takei getting in on the
action
beam me up Scotty
number two do I feel lucky Dirty Harry
do you feel lucky Clint Eastwood’s
titular dirty Harry Callahan makes an
incredibly tense and badass speech in
his first film and variations on it in
several sequels he capped off the speech
by saying you’ve got to ask yourself one
question do I feel lucky
well do your funk whenever the scene is
parodied in movies though people usually
just say do you feel lucky punk you
feeling lucky punk
DC iron I’d definitely understandable
why people have paraphrased this to
create something that rolls off the
tongue or growls between the teeth
easier you feel lucky punk today at
least Jim Carrey got it right
mostly no you have to ask yourself one
question do I feel like well do yet hey
before we get to our top pick here are
some honorable mentions fasten your seat
belt going to be a bump a nut matches
Wayne got no badges we don’t need no
badges I don’t have to show you on a
stinking watches that are not coming in
closer Jay huh
Jay Jay ha
number one no I am your father
Star Wars Episode five the Empire
Strikes Back
remember that shocking moment when Darth
Vader said the immortal words Luke I am
your father well guess what he actually
says me
I can block off the probable cause of
this misquote is twofold
part of it is the need for context I am
your father is a fairly general phrase
but when somebody says Luke I am your
father it’s clear that they’re
referencing the Empire Strikes Back Luke
I am your father the line has also been
misquoted forces teracle purposes
parodies of the scene will typically
replace Luke with another character’s
name Austen
[Music]
I am your father as a result our memory
of the original scene gets jumbled even
the most die-hard Star Wars fans can
never seem to get this quote right do
