Planet of the Apes
Misquote - "Damn you. Damn you all to hell".
Real Quote - "God damn you. God damn you all to hell".

The Wizard of Oz
Misquote: “Toto, I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore.
Actual movie quote: “Toto, I’ve a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore.”

Darth Vader never said, "Luke, I am your father." He said "No. I am your father."

You beat me to the punch.

Was the phrase "Beam me up, Scotty" ever used on the original "Star Trek" TV series? There were different variants in some of the films, but I don't recall that exact line.

Not really. The closest Kirk came to actually saying that line was in Star Trek IV, just before he and Gillian were beamed aboard the bird-of-prey: "Scotty, beam me up."

Here's an example that misquoted itself off the bat:

Network
Misquote: "I'm mad as hell and I'm not gonna take it anymore!"
Actual movie quote: "I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!"

Moments later, when all the people are shouting it out their windows, a lot of them use the misquote.

That was the easiest one for me to debunk too.

Ha ha, if I had to guess, I would say probably not. Similar to the "Luke, I am your father" quote is "Elementary, my dear Watson," which apparently was never said in any original Sherlock Holmes novel.

They say that Jimmie Cagney never actually uttered the line "You rat. You dirty rat. You killed my brother." in any movie even though that was the cliche' line that every impersonator would do him saying.

Did any of Edward G. Robinson's characters actually say "yeah, see"? I have been unable to find a script or a clip on Youtube of him saying this in any movie. An author of a book that I found on Google Books quoted Edward G. Robinson as saying "yeah, see" in the telephone scene near the end of "Little Caesar" but he doesn't say it there. He says "yeah" a lot and "see" a lot but never "yeah, see." Does anyone know if I am right or wrong about whether Edward G. Robinson said "Yeah, see"? If he did ever say it and someone knows where, I would buy or rent the film just to see it!
