Stinking Badges
Linda
I need some help! We had a big discussion at work on were the quote:
"Badges? We don't need no stinking badges!" orginated. Some say
Blazing Saddles but I thought they used it from an old movie. Perhaps
an old Bogart movie? HELP!

Indeed it's from an old Humphrey Bogart movie: _Treasure of the Sierra Madre_.

Further investigation suggests that he died in "uncertain circumstances"
in Mexico City, nine years after the movie was released. (Sorry for the
above misinformation).

Alfonso Bedoya, the infamous bandido of John Huston's 1948 film,
"Treasure of
the Sierra Madre", spoke that line. It was reprised twenty-five years
later
in Mel Brook's "Blazing Saddles". Humphrey Bogart played the part of
Fred
C. Dobbs, a down-and-out, marginal human being, turned gold prospector.
The verbatim quote, for purposes of your continuing office discussion:
Bogart: "If you are the police, where are your badges?"
Bedoya: "Badges?? We ain't got no badges. We don't need
no badges! I don't have to show you any stinkin'
badges!!"
Bedoya played the part of "Gold Hat", the quintessential embodiment
of the sleazy and murderous bandido. Alas, he took his part too
seriously in real life and was killed a short while later in a bar-room
knife duel in Tijuana.
Regards,
Tom

I know this is not the help you need but I just bought a t-shirt with a
2 snarling dogs on the front that say "We don't need no stinking
leashes".
Linda
I remember that particular line was in the movie "Troop Beverly Hills" and was
said by Shelley Long's maid. Don't know if this is the earliest it was ever
said, but this is the one I remember.
Hope this helps.

I think it was originally said in The Treasure of the Sierra Madre made in
1948. It might have been spoken by Pancho Villa in the movie, I'm not sure.
** mp **
it is from an old bogie film, "the treasure of the sierra madre".
spoken by banditos who falsely identified themselves as lawmen.
this has obviously passed into popular culture as heard in many films
ever since.

I think I am correct in saying that the original line is from
the movie "The Treasure of Sierra Madre". It was said by one
of the Mexican theifs who was claiming to be a sherif or
something - it may have been said to Humphry Bogart, but
I'm not sure about that. Hope this helps.

Just a confirmation on what Scott said. The line is from "Treasure of the
Sierra Madre," and is in fact said by the Mexican bandit to Humphrey
Bogart.

It was also used in a comic strip, Sam and Max.

The word is "badgers" (the animal). The quote, "We don't need no
stinking badgers," is from the movie "UHF" starring Weird Al Yankovic.

It originated in "The Treasure of Sierra Madre."

Badges? We ain't got no badges. We don't need no badges.
I don't have to show you any stinking badges!
"Treasure of the Sierra Madre",
the movie written and directed by John Huston
Badges, to god-damned hell with badges! We have no badges.
In fact, we don't need badges. I don't have to show you any
stinking badges, you god-damned cabron and ching' tu madre!
Come out there from that shit-hole of yours. I have to speak to you.
