What movie is the quote 'maybe the dingo ate your baby' from?
Julia Louis Dreyfus, as Elaine in the TV show, Seinfeld, in 'The Stranded' episode, blows off an annoying party friend, chirping, 'Maybe the dingo ate your baby?'.The quote, 'A dingo took my baby' comes from the multi award-winning movie, 'A Cry in the Dark', directed by Fred Schepisi and starring Meryl Streep as Lindy Chamberlain and Sam Neill as Michael Chamberlain. The movie is based on the true story of Lindy and Michael Chamberlain whose baby, Azaria, disappeared on August 17, 1980, from the family's campsite in the desert at Uluru - a place sacred to the indigenous people of the area - in the Australian Northern Territory near Alice Springs. Azaria's body was never recovered.The Chamberlains were tried for the murder of their daughter who, the defense claimed, had been taken by an Australian native dog, a dingo, common to the area. The movie was based on John Bryson's book about these events, 'Evil Angels', and was originally released in Australia under that title.Lindy Chamberlain wasn't believed when she claimed a dingo had taken her baby. She was found guilty of murder in October 29, 1982, and sentenced to life imprisonment with hard labor. Michael was found guilty as an accessory after the fact; his sentence was deferred.On February 7, 1986, Lindy was released from prison following the discovery of new evidence: a British hiker, David Brett, was killed in January 1986 in a fall at Uluru; investigating police, searching the area for remains which they feared might have been taken by dingos, found Azaria's missing jacket. This unquestionably proved Lindy Chamberlain's innocence and, on September 15, 1988, all convictions against the Chamberlains were quashed by the Northern Territory Court of Criminal Appeals.

Do dingos eat baby dingos?
No, dingoes are very kind to human beings. A lot of Australian tribes even keep them as pets. They would rather prefer eating kangaroos or rabbits as a meal. Although "a dingo ate your baby!" is funny, it has yet to be actually proven. There have been cases where dingos have picked up babies and there was a recorded case where a wild dog attacked a 9 year old boy who sustained injuries he later died from. Also, in the famous case of "A dingo ate my baby" clothing worn by the baby in mention was find near a dingo lair, and the individuals imprisoned for the death of the baby were released. It is quite possible for a dingo to take a child and to cause injuries that could cause death, but it's arguable as to whether there is any more or less risk as you would have with any other dog.

In Tropic Thunder Alpa Chino says I want to throw another shrimp on your barbie and sorry dingo ate your baby is this something an Australian would say?
it is playing to the stereotype of a 'typical australian' there was a series of TV ads trying to popularise Australia starring Paul (Crocodile Dundee) Hogan, which finished with him throwing another 'shrimp on the barbie' as the viewer of the ad would need something to eat when they got there. And 'dingo ate my baby' is referring to the well known case of Lindy Chamberlain, a woman who was tried and convicted of killing her child when she claimed a dingo (wild dog) ran off with it.
