Just to set the record straight on the "who to give credit to" for the "stinking badges" quote.

Attributing "Badges? We don't need no stinkin' badges", to the move The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (directed by John Huston, starring Humphrey Bogart), is like attributing "Play it again, Sam" to Casablanca.

The actual line from The Treasure of the Sierra Madre is "Badges? We ain't got no badges. We don't need no badges! I don't have to show you any stinkin' badges!"

The line "Badges? We don't need no stinkin' badges." comes from the moive Blazing Saddles (directed by Mel Brooks), in obvious homage to/parody of The Treasure of the Sierra Madre.
