It may have originally been in Treasure...(I don't know, I've never seen
it), but it WAS in Blazing Saddles.

_UHF_, the Wierd Al Yankovic movie that featured Stanley Spudowski's
Funhouse, Raoul's Wild Kingdom ("today, we gon' teach poodles to fly!"
and source of the badgers line), Wheel of Fish ("and you get...
NOTHING! STUPID!!!"), and commercials for Spatula City and _Ghandi
II_.
pretty lame movie overall, but the parodies were really funny...
I believe the original quote was from _Treasure of the Sierra Madre_...

Yes, originally used in Treasure of Sierra Madre (see it at once! You
don't know what you've missed). Also used in a set up- badgers instead
of badges - on a short lived TV sitcom called Wizards and Warriors(or
something like that

Even though it traces back to Treasure of the Sierra Madre, the original
quote is somewhat different. Which is why I tend to consider Blazing
Saddles the "true" source since almost everyone who quotes this line seems
to be quoting the line as it was referred to in the latter film. My, what
a maverick cineaste I am! Ye cats.

It was a line from "Blazing Saddles " , perhaps the funniest movie ever made.

The movie with the "Badgers? We don't need no stinkin' badgers!" was
U.H.F. with Weird Al Yankovich (sp?). A pretty funny moment, even if you
don't know where the orginal quote comes from.
My dad told me a long time ago that he heard the line in a movie called
_The Treasure of the Sierra Madre_ or something similar.
Since I heard that line first in U.H.F., I've heard the line in about
four other movies. I can't remember what they were. I think one had
Dennis Hopper and was about a guy arrested by a young cop or fed or something
maybe played by... Dennis Quaid?... for something he did in the seventies.
Or something.
Someone help me out here!

Correct. Starred Humphrey Bogart as Fred C. Dobbs, directed by and
co-starred John Huston.

Your dad was right (for once!) it was first said in the film
"Treasure of Sierra Madra" diercted by John Huston starring Humphrey Bogart
the scene is when some mexican bandits want to rob Humphrey and he asks
if they're from the sherrif he wants to see their badges to which they reply.
The other films mentioned are paying homage to a great movie by
mentioning the scene from The Treasure of Sierra Madra.

Line is also found in Mel Brooks' Blazing Saddles hires the most ruthless
outlaws in the land and some banditos sign up for the task.

Ok, for the record now.
The original line is said by Akim Tamiroff in the film _The
Treasure of Sierra Madre_, directed by John Huston, based
on a book (that I don't think had the same name) by B. Traven.
Since then HUNDREDS of movies, tv shows, plays, comic books,
radio shows, comedians, and everybody else you can think of,
have used the line, sometimes in tribute, sometimes in jest,
often both, and sometimes with a twist, like the badgers
example. You will find it lots of places if you pay attention.
And now, you're in on the joke.
If you haven't seen the orignal, please rent it and see it
before continuing this thread. A lot of us will appreciate it.
I gotta go now.

Sorry, I can't remember the name of the film with Dennis Hopper (or even
if the line was said in it) but I do remember (vividly) the scene where
this line appears in _Blazing Saddles_ (by Mel Brooks) where the
character played by Harvey Korman is recruiting bad guys to destroy the
town. A group of Mexicans are next in line and upon receipt of their
official bad-guy badges the head honcho says it. Truly priceless.

Hello, again. After writing the above, I got mailed by a
certain Kerry Allman, who let me know in a gentle fashion
that actor who got this great line was Alphonso Bedoya.
I checked with my local library, and that's right. It WAS
Alphonso Bedoya. Thanks, Kerry.
I gotta go now.

Either my memory is faulty (it's possible) or you've got the actor wrong.
Why do I have the indelible memory vestige of seeing none other than
Alphonso Bedoya delivering those famous lines?

Great movie, but it was "We don't need no stinkin' badgers!", spoken by
the actor who played Jesus the gang leader on Hill Street Blues.

I'm a little late in this thread, so perhaps I'm repeating
someone else's post, but this quote was also used in Mel Brook's
Blazing Saddles. These are all references to the famous line in
John Huston's classic The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, with
Humphrey Bogart and Walter Huston. Fred C. Dobbs (Bogart) meets
up with some Mexican bandits who tell him they are lawmen. Dobbs
asks to see their badges and this is their leader's reply.

Actually, it is not the bandit leaders exact reply. What he really says is something like:
"We dont have to show you our stinking badges!"

I believe the original quote is from the movie
Treasure of Sierra Madre (194? or 195? can't remember)
It stars Humphrey Bogart. They're looking for gold in the
Sierra Madre and they are found by some bandito's... when
questioned about their rights at doing what they do without
"badges" (authority), the reply with that line.

Probably been mentioned already but didn't the mexican bandidos in the
queue for Hedy ("That's Hedley!!") Lamarrs gang of thugs in "Blazing
Saddles" utter that infamous line ?
"Stampeding Cattle..thats not a crime!"

ACTUALLY, the line is repeats with small differences that build.
This is from memory:
"We don't got no badges. We don't need no badges. We don't got
to show you no stinking badges."
I spoke to a librarian about this quote a couple of weeks ago,
who found the quote in a movie quote book. The book was organ-
ized by categories like assonance, exclamations, love utterances.
Where was the badges quote? In the repetition category.

It also showed up in Blazing Saddles during the deputizing of all the criminals.
Great Flick, deserves honorable mention!!!
