* ''Film/TheExorcist'': The demon possessing Regan never said "Fuck me Jesus!" while making the girl stab herself in the crotch with a crucifix. It said "Let Jesus fuck you!" Mind you, the demon did repeatedly say "Fuck me!" to the priests performing the exorcism, so it's easy to see how the two lines might have been blurred together.

* In ''Film/TropicThunder'', Kirk Lazarus is often misattributed as saying "Nigga, you just went full retard." The actual conversation went as follows:

* ''Film/TheExorcist'': The demon possessing Regen never said "Fuck me Jesus!" while making the girl stab herself in the crotch with a rosary. It said "Let Jesus fuck you!" The demon did later say "Fuck me!" to the priests performing the exorcism, so it's easy to see how the two lines might have been blurred together.

* ''Franchise/FridayThe13th'': Jason Voorhees's IconicItem is ''not'' [[ChainsawGood a chainsaw]]. Despite the "[[HockeyMaskAndChainsaw chainsaw and hockey mask]]" combination being a regular part of any slasher parody, Jason has ''never'' used a chainsaw in any of the ''Friday the [=13th=]'' films. One is used ''against'' him in part 2, against his copycat killer in part 5, and he once uses a Bushmaster (a circular saw blade at the end of a weedwhacker) to kill someone, but never a chainsaw. His most notable weapon is a machete. The reason for parodies using a chainsaw and hockey mask combination is that they’re also parodying ''Film/TheTexasChainsawMassacre''.

* Due to the franchise's fondness for {{Bathos}} and CasualDangerDialogue, the Film/MarvelCinematicUniverse is often associated by memes with various stock comedic phrases that it's rarely-if-ever actually used, such as "Well, ''that'' just happened!", "That sounded better in my head", or "He's RightBehindMe, isn't he?"[[note]]Funnily, a variant of this was used in ''Film/ThorLoveAndThunder'', some months after the joke became common.[[/note]]

* No ''Film/JamesBond'' villain has ''ever'' said: "Good evening, Mr. Bond. We've been expecting you." Bits of it, yes, and sometimes they were said by other people, but never the entire quote. For example, one of ''Film/DrNo'''s henchmen shouts "We've been expecting you!" Blofeld says "We've been expecting you" in ''Film/DiamondsAreForever'', and a minute later says "Good evening, Mr. Bond."
** Just before the final showdown in ''Film/TheSpyWhoLovedMe'', Stromberg DOES say "Good evening Mr. Bond, I'VE been expecting you".

* At no point in Stand By Me does anyone say "Perhaps the treasure was the friends we made along the way" or anything similar. The meme got linked to the movie, but is completely unrelated.

* ''Film/Clockwise'': JohnCleese' iconic quote, "It's not the despair, Laura. I can stand the despair. It's the hope!" is often misquoted as "It's not the despair, I can stand the despair. It's the hope I can't stand!" or similar.

** Anakin's infamous "sand" speech in ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'' ("I don't like sand... It's coarse and rough and irritating. And it gets ''everywhere''...") is definitely an awkwardly written bit of dialogue, but he doesn't actually say "Not like you!" to Padmé at the end of it. He says "Not like ''here!''", referring to his lush, green surroundings on Naboo. (He does refer to Padmé immediately after, which is probably the source of the confusion.) Also, "I don't like sand" is sometimes misremembered as "I hate sand."

** For some reason, in the final battle of ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'' Admiral Ackbar's line "concentrate all fire on that Super Star Destroyer" is sometimes misquoted as "focus all firepower on that Super Star Destroyer."

* Biff Tannen in ''Film/BackToTheFuture'' doesn't ever actually say "Hello [=McFly=]", instead he repeats "Hello, hello, anybody home? Think [=McFly=], think." A child character misquoting this line in the later movie ''Film/{{Jack|1996}}'' is to blame for this.

* Despite all the [[Memes/Morbius2022 memes]], the titular character of ''Film/{{Morbius|2022}}'' never says, "It's Morbin' time!" (which is actually a reference to [[Franchise/PowerRangers "It's Morphin' time!"]]) or "Stand back, I'm beginning to morb!" The joke plays on the fact that since no one has actually seen the film, no one can know for sure ''if'' he says it. And it does not help that some people who have seen the memes think he actually ''does'' say it and then watch it to see if he says it, only to walk out disappointed.

* ''[[Film/Rocketman2019 Rocketman]]'': People often misquote Elton's line during his backstage fight with Bernie before the "Pinball Wizard" sequence as "People don't pay to see Reg Dwight, they pay to see Elton Fucking John!" He actually says the exact line, just without "fucking", though he does say it in a different sentence after said line.

** Wayne did not say, "A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do" in ''Hondo''. It's actually, "A man oughta do what he thinks is best". There is a line much closer to this from a classic Western, though not one with Creator/JohnWayne: Creator/AlanLadd says "A man's gotta be what a man's gotta be" in ''Film/{{Shane}}''.

** "Shall we shag now, or shag later?" is one of Austin Power's most iconic catchphrases and is assumed to have been said by him multiple times throughout all 3 films. Instead, the actual wording used by Powers is "Shall we shag now, or '''shall we''' shag later?" and he says it only once in ''International Man of Mystery''. However, Tom Cruise's parody portrayal of Powers says the line in the opening of ''Goldmember''.

** "Harvey Dent, can we trust him?" or "Harvey Dent, can he be trusted?" is never said by Batman at any point in the film. The phrase originated from [[Website/CollegeHumor CollegeHumor's]] {{WebVideo/Badman}} series, which parodies ''Film/TheDarkKnightTrilogy''. In several of the videos, Batman would utter the line as a catchphrase and at random moments for humorous effect. This has resulted in memes centered around the line and many people mistakenly assume that Batman frequently says it throughout the entire trilogy. The closest that Batman ever says such a quote is when Gordon mentions the new district attorney, prompting Batman to ask "do you trust him?". Also, Harvey Dent isn't introduced at this point in the movie yet, so he isn’t referred to by name in the aforementioned scene.

* In ''Film/{{Saw}}'', Jigsaw never says "Do you want to play a game?" or "Would you like to play a game?" in his tapes. What he actually says is "I want to play a game".

-->'''Block''': Who are you?
-->'''Death''': I am Death.
-->'''Block''': You have come for me?

* ''Film/TheRoom'':

* In no film did Creator/JamesCagney ever say "You dirty rat!" This is a misquote of both a line from the 1931 film ''Film/BlondeCrazy'', where he refers to another character as "that dirty double-crossing rat", and from the 1932 film ''Taxi!'', where he calls someone "you dirty yellow-bellied rat". At his AFI lifetime achievement award show in 1974, Cagney set the record straight before quickly proceeding to parody the trope. Part of the spread of this misconception among later generations can be traced to the original ''Film/{{Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles|1990}}'' movie, which had a memorable scene where Michelangelo said "You dirty rat! You killed my brother!" while doing a Cagney impression.

** Another line attributed to George [=McFly=] that got a ShoutOut in ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory1'' is "I just don't think I could take that kind of rejection!" George actually says "I don't know if I could take that kind of rejection." It's actually Marty who says something closer to the misquote, when he says "I mean, I just don't think I can take that kind of rejection."

** "Harvey Dent, can we trust him?" or "Harvey Dent, can he be trusted?" is never said by Batman at any point in the film.
