(#4) Saw
- Danny Glover, Monica Potter, Shawnee Smith, Dina Meyer, Michael Emerson, Cary Elwes, Tobin Bell, Ken Leung, Leigh Whannell, Makenzie Vega, Benito Martinez, Mike Butters, Paul Gutrecht
How we remember it happening: Jigsaw turns to the camera and asks, "Do you want to play a game?"
What actually happens in the film: Jigsaw says, "I want to play a game."
Jigsaw asked us if we wanted to play a game, right? Didn't we all slowly turn and ask that same question of our more cowardly friends just as soon as Saw let out and we reached the dark of the theater's parking lot? Well, maybe we did ask the question, but Jigsaw never did.
This misquote might be a result of the movie's fans wanting a line to be more of an invitation to engage than a direct statement. "Do you want to play a game?" makes for a much stickier catchphrase than the actual line.
(#5) Dracula
- Bela Lugosi, Tod Browning, Carla Laemmle, Helen Chandler, Dwight Frye, Edward Van Sloan, David Manners, Michael Visaroff, Dorothy Tree, Joan Standing, Wyndham Standing, Daisy Belmore, Charles K. Gerrard, Herbert Bunston, Frances Dade, John George, Nicholas Bela, Geraldine Dvorak, Barbara Bozoky, Moon Carroll, Anita Harder, Anna Bakacs, Cornelia Thaw, Josephine Velez, Donald Murphy
How we remember it happening: Dracula says, "I vant to suck your blood!"
What actually happens in the film: Anytime someone dresses up as Dracula for Halloween, we're likely to hear them quote "I vant to suck your blood" in a heavy Hungarian accent. But, why? Dracula never said any such thing in the 1931 film.
It's possible that without the quote, one might dress up as Dracula for Halloween and not be recognized as Bela Legosi's version of the character. It is an easy version of Legosi's Hungarian accent and quickly identifies the Dracula character.
(#12) Seven
- Brad Pitt, Gwyneth Paltrow, Morgan Freeman, Kevin Spacey, R. Lee Ermey, Charles S. Dutton, John C. McGinley, Richard Schiff, Richard Roundtree, Mark Boone Junior, Leland Orser, Michael Massee, Richard Portnow, Bob Stephenson, John Cassini, Reg E. Cathey, Peter Crombie, Emily Wagner, Endre Hules, Richmond Arquette, Lennie Loftin, Hawthorne James, Daniel Zacapa, Alan Migicovski, George Christy, Andrew Kevin Walker, Dominique Jennings, Harris Savides, Gene Borkan, Shannon Wilcox, Alfonso Freeman, Lexie Bigham, Charles A. Tamburro, James Deeth, Heidi Schanz, Michael Reid MacKay, Brian Evers, Tudor Sherrard, David Correia, Duffy Gaver, Pamala Tyson, Evan Mirand, Bob Collins, Paul Eckstein, Rachel Flanagan, Mario Di Donato, Julie Araskog, Grigori, Martin Serene, Jimmy Dale Hartsell, John Santin, Beverly Burke, William Davidson, Ron Blair, Cat Mueller, Bob Mack, Charline Su, Harrison White, Sarah Reinhardt
How we remember it happening: Detective Somerset opens the box and we see the head of Detective Mills' wife, Tracy (Gwyneth Paltrow)
What actually happens in the film: The inside of the box isn't shown.
Although the plot and dialogue of the scene insinuate that the head of Gwyneth Paltrow's character is, indeed, what's in the box, we never actually see the head in the box.
It should be noted that a prosthetic head was created for the scene and was eventually used in a scene in 2011's Contagion.
(#6) Scary Movie
- Carmen Electra, Anna Faris, Shannon Elizabeth, Marlon Wayans, Regina Hall, Cheri Oteri, Keenen Ivory Wayans, Lochlyn Munro, Kurt Fuller, Rick Ducommun, Jon Abrahams, Dave Sheridan, Mark McConchie, Robin Miller, Karen Kruper, Frank B. Moore
How we remember it happening: Shorty says, "I see white people."
What actually happens in the film: Shorty says, "I see dead people."
One of the funniest lines in Scary Movie was delivered by Marlon Wayans while cowering under a blanket to echo Haley Joel Osment's character in The Sixth Sense as he says, "I see white people."
Well, we thought he said that, but it turns out he actually said "I see dead people," despite many people vividly remembering the "white people" line. It's been theorized that the line was in a trailer for the film, but no such trailer seems to exist. It should be noted that the line was said in the film Undercover Brother, which was released two years after Scary Movie.
(#10) Jaws
- Steven Spielberg, Richard Dreyfuss, Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw, John Searle, Murray Hamilton, Peter Benchley, Carl Gottlieb, Lorraine Gary, Jeffrey Kramer, Susan Backlinie, Beverly Powers, Ayn Ruymen, Denise Cheshire, Ted Grossman, Rex Trailer, Craig Kingsbury, Allison Caine, Dorothy Fielding, Chris Rebello, David Engelbach, Belle McDonald, Christopher Sands, Fritzi Jane Courtney, Cyprian R. Dube, Duncan Inches, Jonathan Filley, Jay Mello, Robert Nevin, Robert Carroll, Alfred Wilde, Lee Fierro, Jeffrey Voorhees, Wally Hooper Jr., Jean Canha, Peggy Scott, Robert Chambers, Edward Chalmers Jr., Julie Taylor, Paul F. Tremblay, Gilbert Brand, Wayne Iacono, Janice T. Hull, Beardsley Graham, John Bahr, Jerome S. Tartar, Joy Stuart, Stephanie Hull, Alston Goff, William Lymon, Paul G. Thibodeau, Dick Young, Edwin C. Carlson, Carla Hogendyk, Henry Carreiro, Henry E. Scott III, Brendan Gallagher, Hershel West, Joseph G. Kraetzer, Gregory S. Dole, Steven Potter, Paul Goulart, Phil Murray, Philip Norton, Donald Poole, Richard P. Hewitt, Robert Whelden Jr., William O'Gorman, Francis A. Frank, Mike Haydn, William Pfluger, Elizabeth K. Gifford, Stephen Earle, Willis B. Gifford, Eleanor L. Harvey, Chris Anastasio, Joe La Creta
How we remember it happening: There is a bite taken out of the "J" in Jaws on the original movie poster.
What actually happens in the film: The "J" was made to look like a fish hook and had no bite.
There's no solid explanation for why people are remembering a bite mark in the Jaws poster. It's possible that people just expect there to be a bite mark somewhere on the poster because it is advertising a giant shark movie. Maybe the bottom of the "J" in Jaws seems like the most likely place.
(#8) The 'Jaws' Quote Is 'You're Gonna Need A Bigger Boat'
How we remember it happening: Brody, after having encountered the massive Great White shark for the first time, quips, "We're going to need a bigger boat."
What actually happens in the film: Brody actually says, "You're going to need a bigger boat."
Audience members specifically remember Roy Scheider's Brody delivering the inclusive line, "We're going to need a bigger boat," but Jaws fans are wrong about the pronoun used in the famous line.
