You too can find a clip of the movie on YouTube.com, where you'll find
that the actual dialog in the movie is,


"Badges? We ain't got no badges. We don't need no badges.
I don't have to show you any stinking badges."

He not only used a double negative, he used it twice.

Memorable quotes for The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948)

Gold Hat: Badges? We ain't got no badges. We don't need no badges. I don't
have to show you any stinking badges.

OK, all clear? Fine.

Now, the film was directed by the legendary John Huston, and he also wrote
the screenplay. But great Directors are seldom good writers of
screenplays. Stories, maybe, but screenplays are a very different form of
writing, and dialogue is exceptionally hard to do well. Often dialogue
writers are used, and are seldom credited.
...

This movie is considered one of the greatest of all time (AFI #38, Roger
Ebert's 100), so I'd say Huston did a pretty good job, double negatives
and all.

After all, a great many people speak in double negatives routinely.
