Famous Movie Quotes We All Get Wrong....
Hello movie fans!! While some films are remembered for their earth shattering story, their amazing cast and the performance of their careers, other films stand the test of time by one or more simple quotes that just stick in our minds and have featured in many other places ever since. But is what people remember actually what is said in the film?? Turns out, maybe not!
Yep, sadly even us huuuuge movie nerds have been getting a few of these wrong. Doh! Not wanting to sound like a frantic school teacher, prepping their red pen ready to mark up some of your work, take a look at some of these little corrections to some of the most famous movie quotes ever.....
Dirty Harry
Often said: Do you feel lucky, punk?
But actually: 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?

1. In the 1930s, the novel was banned in China on the grounds that animals should not use the language of humans!
2. Name change! Before it was called Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, the author actually named it Alice's Adventures Under Ground. (The characters in Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland called it Under Land.)
3. Mock Turtle soup IS REAL! It was a popular dish in Victorian times. It was made from various odd parts of a calf. EEEEW!
4. The 1951 movie adaptation is actually a combination of Lewis Carroll's two "Alice" books, "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking Glass". Maybe not such a hidden fact but still cool!
5. Since it was first published, Alice In Wonderland has never been out of print and has been translated into at least 97 languages. Amazing! Asombroso! Sorprendente! Incroyable!
