The Top 10 Most Misquoted Film Lines & The Star Trek Voyager Flat...

An Emerald Knight Post

I came across this and thought IT was blog worthy, it will in the very least interest you!

A comment supposedly made by Darth Vader to Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars trilogy has topped a list of phrases most often misquoted by film fans.

The words "Luke, I am your father" are familiar to millions of fans of the George Lucas films.

They are widely believed to have been uttered by Darth Vader when he confronts Luke Skywalker in the Empire Strikes Back - but in fact they do not feature in the film.

Second place in the poll was taken by Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, with the evil Queen's quote 'Mirror, mirror, on the wall - who is the fairest of them all?'.

The actual line begins 'Magic Mirror, on the wall'.

In third place in the poll of 1,500 film fans, by LOVEFiLM.com, was Dirty Harry - played by Clint Eastwood - saying "Do you feel lucky, punk?"

In fact, he says "Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya punk?"

And while "Play it again Sam" may be forever linked with Casablanca, Humphrey Bogart's actual line is "You played it for her, you can play it for me. If she can stand it, I can. Play it!"

Fifth was Hannibal Lector in Silence of the Lambs, who did not say "Hello Clarice" but instead said "Good evening, Clarice".

Star Trek's Captain Kirk did not say "Beam me up, Scotty", with the closest he ever came to this phrase was a less pithy "Scotty, beam us up".

Darren Bignell, Communications Manager for LOVEFiLM, said: "Iconic film lines are part of everyone's vocabulary these days, but it's interesting how years of quoting have had a Chinese whisper effect on accuracy."

And this is definitely Geek-tastic:

The Star Trek Voyager themed flat... in Hinckley, Leicestershire, UK!

After his wife left him, Tony Alleyne (Hinckley, Leicestershire) transformed his living space into what the Telegraph called “His ultimate bachelor pad”, a functioning set from Star Trek (Voyager Era).
"I have always considered that of all the Starfleet ships, Voyager is, in terms of interior, the luxury liner of the galaxy," he says
The 500-square-foot apartment features voice-activated lighting, LED lighting, running lights, air-conditioning - but no bed...
...A few years ago Mr Alleyne suffered from sciatica and was advised by his GP to sleep on the floor. "It cured the sciatica and gave me the opportunity to convert the bed area into the Transporter area," he says. "Bed space is overrated"
On the plus side, the experience allowed him to set up his own interior design company, 24th Century Interior Design However If you'd like to take a virtual tour of Tony Alleyne's Star Trek flat, or have him design you a Sci-Fi living space of your own visit this LINK
