Many people may think that the most misquoted line from any blockbuster film is, "Play it again, Sam" from the 1942 Humphrey Bogart film Casablanca. But according to the makers of a new board game it's, “Houston, we have a problem”.
The classic line was uttered by Tom Hanks's character Jim Lovell in the 1995 Hollywood film Apollo 13. But even before that, millions of people would quote exactly the same line. However, what the real Jim Lovell said over the airwaves to NASA control in Houston on April 14, 1970, was, "Houston, we've had a problem."
According to a study by a new board game called Clipology that streams real content clips, the misquote sits atop the 10 most misquoted lines in films. The board game has competitors guessing the iconic quotations from popular films and television shows. And despite being a pivotal scene in the film, less than half of the 2,000 adults polled knew the true sentence.
