This has become a catchphrase, one that I cannot remember the origin. It was uttered by a Mexican bandito in a movie (I think) and I cannot remember the next word, as in, "(Blank? I don't need no stinkin'(blank)" Everyone uses it now and inserts the word of their choice. No reason--I once knew, and now I don't. |

Hi kayto It was "stinkin' badges"! The movie was "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre", directed by John Huston in 1948, and starring Humphrey Bogart. The phrase was also used in a scene in "Blazing Saddles". "Badges? We ain't got no badges. We don't need no badges. I don't have to show you any stinking badges!" --Gold Hat, as played by Alfonso Bedoya "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" (1948) http://www.darryl.com/badges/ "There are so many highlights such as the famous scene in which banditos face Bogart and his pals and Alphonse Bedoya utters the famous line about "badges, badges, we don't need no stinkin' badges." " From the Internet Movie Database: http://imdb.com/title/tt0040897/ ""Badges? I don't need no stinkin' badges!" - Mexican bandit Alfonso Bedoyo, "Treasure of the Sierra Madre"" http://www.alaskasbest.com/movies.htm "Badges? We don't need no stinkin' badges." from: "Blazing Saddles" http://www.scvhistory.com/scvhistory/lw2145c.htm I hope this answers your question, but please feel free to ask if you would like me to clarify anything.

This phrase has been imitated in so many movies, that there is a whole page dedicated to citing references to it: http://www.darryl.com/badges/ . One of my favorite is Wierd Al Yankovic in UHF. There is a character doing an animal show and a delivery man brings by the animals for the next show, including some badgers, to which he replies, "Badgers? We don't need no stinkin badgers!" |

It should be mentioned that before the movie, there was a book by B. Traven: "Nothing is known of virtually the first twenty years of Traven's life. As a young man he went by the name of Ret Marut, and published an underground anarchist magazine, Der Ziegelbrenner, (The Brick Thrower) in Germany. He disappeared for a time only to reappear in a British prison. After vanishing from London, a man calling himself B. Traven, began sending manuscripts in German to Das Buchengild, a German publisher. By the 1940's, Traven was known throughout the literary world and John Huston came to film The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. A man showed up on the set, claiming to be an agent of Traven's, one Hal Croves; whom Huston suspected of being Traven himself. " http://www.dreamgarden.com/ksb/authors/traven.html |
