Famous Movie Misquotes
You may be surprised to learn that those famous movie quotes you hear, like "Beam me up Scotty", may never have been spoken by the character to whom it is attributed.
Granted, some of the famous misquotes you are about to see are not too far off from the original quote, and you may say that I'm just "picking a nit", but if your going to quote a line, then quote it. Or at least know that you are quoting a misquote. Hmmm?
So here I give you my favorite top 10 movie misquotes. Enjoy...

Star Wars Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back
Rated to be the Most Misquoted Movie Line Ever

At the top of the top ten movie misquotes, we have,
The Empire Strikes Back (1980)

♦ STAR TREK Store ♦
Star Trek
Star Trek By Gene RoddenberryMisquote: "Beam me up, Scotty!"
Via Wikipedia: Captain Kirk comes closest to saying the phrase in the Original Series episode "The Gamesters of Triskelion", by saying, "Scotty, beam us up"; in the animated episodes "The Lorelei Signal" and "The Infinite Vulcan", when he said, "Beam us up, Scotty"; in Star Trek IV, saying, "Scotty, beam me up"; and in Star Trek Generations, by saying, "Beam them out of there, Scotty". The phrase was used on a bumper sticker with the tag line "Beam me up Scotty. There's no intelligent life down here."
...And Justice For All

...And Justice For All (1979)
Starring: Al Pacino, Jack Warden Director: Norman Jewison Rating: R (Restricted)
Misquote: "I'm out of order? You're out of order! This whole court is out of order!"
Actual quote: "You're out of order! You're out of order! The whole trial is out of order! They're out of order!"

Field of Dreams (1989)Starring: Kevin Costner, James Earl Jones Director: Phil Alden Robinson Rating: PG (Parental Guidance Suggested)
Misquote: "If you build it, they will come."
Actual quote: "If you build it, he will come."
Though many 'come' after the baseball field is made, the 'he' the voice spoke of, in the actual quote, is Kevin Costners' father.

Misquote: "Do you feel lucky, punk?"
Actual quote: "But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya punk?"

Apocalypse Now (1979)Starring: Martin Sheen, Marlon Brando, Robert Duvall, and Frederic Forrest. Director: Francis Ford Coppola Rating: R (Restricted)
Misquote:"I love the smell of napalm in the morning. Smells like victory.
Actual quote:"You smell that? Do you smell that?...Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for twelve hours. When it was all over I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know, that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smells like... victory. Some day, this war's gonna end."

- Noticed the Field of Dreams one awhile back. Watched the whole movie waiting for the famous line...and nada. Which is funny, because I remembered hearing it when I originally watched the movie years and years ago. Funny how the mind works.
