‘Caddyshack’ is turning 40! Relive some of the movie’s best moments

July 25, 2020, will mark the 40th anniversary of the release of perhaps the greatest golf movie ever made, “Caddyshack.” The 1980 film produced some of the most quoted movie lines ever: “A former greenskeeper … about to become the Masters champion…” …

‘And I never slice’

Ted Knight was cast as Judge Smails and his character is a no-nonsense one.

Apparently, in real life that was true as well. Knight seemingly grew tired of the antics on set as well as the frequent ad-libbing. He also reportedly didn’t get along with Chevy Chase nor Rodney Dangerfield.

The “gambling is illegal at Bushwood, sir, and I never slice” scene famously put Knight and Dangerfield together in one of their many memorable scenes.

Caddyshack was the last film Knight would make. He died in 1986.
