[@MrJm323]

Some of us first heard that line in Mel Brook's Blazing Saddles.

[@tonybmusic1166]

In the opening scene of the movie “The Party” Peter Sellers plays an inept Indian actor who’s supposed to blow on a bugle to warn of an impending attack. This is a parody of the closing scene in the movie “Gunda Din” where Sam Jaffe (as Gunda Din) blows a bugle to warn British soldiers of an ambush. Gunga Din is on the golden top of a temple continuously blowing the bugle after being shot multiple times. In the parody Peter Sellers continues to blow the bugle after also being shot many times….comically refusing to stop blowing the horn….even after his own soldiers turn to shoot him. When I put on the DVD of “The Party” for my family, I made them watch “Gunda Din” first just so they would get the joke. I really hope my family will appreciate, after I’m dead and gone” having someone around with memories of olden times.

The best Humphrey Bogart movie ever. Very underrated

[@tinetannies4637]

Ah the inevitable brain-dead KZbin "underrated" comment and, like so many of them, made out of confident lazy ignorance. If you'd taken 5 seconds to look at the history of this film before blathering about it being "underrated", you'd know it won cinematic awards left and right -- Academy Awards, British Film Academy Awards, Golden Globe Awards, on and on. 76 years after its release, it has one of the highest reviewer AND audience rankings of ANY film on Rotten Tomatoes. It is consistently ranked among Bogart's best films. Its "badges" meme is cemented in pop culture. It was a commercial success from the moment it was released. But, yea, "very underrated."

[@lonzo61]

God, I love that guy playing the head honcho of the bandits. He's fantastic.

[@SallySallySallySally]

That's Alfonso Bedoya in his first US film when he was 43 years old. He had already been an actor in many Mexican films until John Huston offered him this role. He died ten years after this. FUN TRIVIA: The young Mexican boy selling lottery tickets in the beginning of this movie is none other than 13-year-old Robert Blake! Blake began his six-decade acting career at the age of five and passed away in 2023 at 89 years of age.

[@lonzo61]

The great Mexican actor Alfonso Bedoya! Wikipedia: Benito Alfonso Bedoya y Díaz de Guzmán[1] (April 16, 1904 - December 15, 1957) was a Mexican actor who frequently appeared in U.S. films. He is best known for his role in The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, where he played a bandit leader and delivered the "stinking badges" line, which has been called one of the greatest movie quotes in history by the American Film Institute.
