B. Pavlic I heard somewhere that there’s a secret cut in that scene where they fixed his hand but Tarantino loved the idea so he added fake blood to Leo’s hand to wipe on the girl’s face.
No, that was fake (the smear, not the cut). He did indeed cut his hand for real but you must know that smearing real blood on someone's face is considered a biohazard and would constitute all sorts of legal issues. They treated his hand but Tarantino really liked Kerry's idea of having Leo's character smear it on her face so they fixed up some fake blood for it.
The Star Wars scene with Han Solo talking into the microphone to the other storm troopers was ad libbed. Harrison Ford forgot what he was supposed to say and just babbled, until he shot the mic and yelled to Mark Hammel "Luke, we're gonna have company."
Wasn't the scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark where Indiana Jones pulls out his pistol and shoots a sword wielding henchman improvised? The script called for a proper fight scene but apparently Harrison Ford was suffering from dysentery at the time and just did not have the energy to do it so Spielberg suggested he shoot the guy after an elaborate display of swordsmanship. The result is pure comedy gold.
Ford suggested it to Lucas. They were sick, running out of film and money, and Ford pointed out that Indy would just shoot the guy instead. They didn't film the fight, but they had practised it for about 2 weeks IIRC. To me, it's still the funniest scene I've ever seen, and I love Mel Brooks films! Ford has a thing for "rewriting" Lucas scripts. It started in Star Wars. He'd say, "you can write this shit, George, but I sure can't say it!" (Undoubtedly interspersed with a few invectives lol.)
+CommandoXProductions There was a "goodbye" monologue in the script that was just sci-fi drivel... it was too long and dragged the scene out without doing anything for Hauer's character, Roy. The night before shooting, Hauer streamlined most of the sci-fi nonsense and added the "tears in the rain" line to let the audience connect with Roy's humanity... amazing how those few little words add so much to the character. Hauer recited the lines without consulting anyone beforehand, so Scott and the crew were shocked and captivated when he spoke his rewritten lines. They broke out in applause and tears when he finished.
Biggus Dickus scene in Monty Python: The Life of Brian. None of the extras were told what the scene entailed. they were simply told "Don't laugh, no matter what". Genius directing and genius performance. :)
God, I had no idea the heart-to-heart scene from Breakfast Club was entirely ad-libbed. That scene is incredible, and now I have an entirely new appreciation for it, and all of the actors involved.

That's a Brando moment. Depp hadn't bothered to learn any of his lines, so they put in an earpiece under his wig through which a stage hand read him his lines.
The mere mention of Robin Williams brings me to tears. I remember every detail of the moment I heard he had passed away and it still makes my heart hurt more than I can say.
When Harrison ford shot the swordsman in Indana Jones. That was improvised, he was supposed to fight him with his whip, but Harrison was feeling very ill that day so he just decided to shoot him and they kept it in the movie.
Most of the cast for Raiders had food poisoning during filming, which is why the fight scene with the swordsman was Harrison Ford just shooting the guy. It wasn't exactly improv because everyone had decided that's what they were going to do. However, in true improvisational form, at one point John Rhys-Davies actually shit his pants during filming because he was so sick. Unfortunately it didn't make it into the movie
R. Lee Ermey's entire performance in Full Metal Jacket was improved except for about 3 lines. He gets my vote for best movie Improv performer of all time.
I had a friend who was in the Marines tell me that he and most of the other soldiers believed there was some top-secret comedy camp that drill instructors went to because everyone had a drill instructor who was insanely funny. He explained that when you fucked up, you got double tested. Because while you were getting *totally* reamed out, it was also so hysterical that it took enormous amounts of willpower to not bust out laughing. Because if you cracked a smile, you'd get extra punishment, and if you laughed, God have mercy on your soul. Ermey was a former real life drill instructor, so he just did what they all naturally do, or learned at secret drill instructor comedy camp.
Ermey was good, but he was just being himself in "Full Metal Jacket." He was a retired Marine who was also a former Drill Instructor, and when he finally succeeded in pestering Kubrick to let him portray Gunnery Sergeant Hartman all he did was the same things he did when he was a DI. The scene is improvised because the dialogue wasn't in the script, but Ermey wasn't just pulling his lines out of a hat - they were lines he had used in the past. In short, he was just being himself. Robin Williams is and will always be the master of ad lib and improv. But that's just me.
@@tomquimby6432 "Soldier" is a term used to describe Army troops, to be sure, but it's also a generic term used to describe members of the Armed Forces. So yes, Marines are in fact "soldiers;" they just happen to be soldiers who are Marines. Chill out, dude, it ain't that big a thing.
I thought this list was awesome - until I was reminded that Rutger Hauer's speech in Blade Runner was improvised. That has to be the most amazing improvised moment in film.
Ezra Po The point is to get you to go watch those movies if you haven't, and/or not giving the great scene away. I was thankful they didn't run some of those scenes any longer than they did (especially the scene from Full Metal Jacket. Even though it didn't get a spot, that scene is a goldmine).
Damn. It's been two years and I still cry over Robin Williams. I couldn't explain it to you, but I suppose some people make an impact without even meeting you.
Lovemachine I gave you a "thumb up" but that speech was actually written by Hauer. He suggested to Ridley Scott to let him say a few off-the-script words before dying, but he had been having in mind most of the speech for a couple of hours by then. Nevertheless, great cinema moment!
I gave you a "thumb up" but actually, Hauer's speech was adapted from the original script that Scott had provided him, which also mentioned various 'gates' and battles that had no other prior connection to the bladerunner universe. However Hauer decided to give it his own spin and everyone was so impressed that they finished in one take.
The scene in Jurassic Park where the dinosaur chomped the blood-sucking lawyer in two was completely improvised. The CGI T Rex got carried away and they just kept the camera rolling. Directors hate to shout "CUT!"
Um if you knew anything about how they shot this scene they used both. In this particular scene it was the CGI as the animatronic version wasn't capable of such swift, realistic movement........I make up friends in my head!
An honorable mention goes to Eli Wallach in The Good, The Bad And The Ugly. The entire scene where he's in the store looking for a revolver is off the cuff and the storekeeper's reactions are genuine. From Wallach mixing and matching revolver parts to when he puts the "CLOSED" sign in the storekeeper's mouth, it was all improvised.
In _Spaceballs_, Rick Moranis ad-libbed the entire scene where he was playing with the action figures. The script only called for him to play with the dolls--he did everything else.
This is Rick improv in Ghostbusters (at his house party) Ted! Annette! I'm glad you could come, how you doin', give me your coats. Everybody, this is Ted and Annette Fleming! Ted has a small carpet cleaning business in receivership; Annette's drawing a salary from a deferred bonus from two years ago! They got fifteen thousand left on the house at eight percent.
Robin Williams is the King of improv! Heard a story once that after the first episode or two of Mork and Mindy the writers would just insert, "Robin speaks here' into the script.
They did ^^ He got the part of Mork because when he auditioned he was askes to "sit down" and he sat on his head :) The Director said he was hired because he was the only alien :D
Because they said "we're not just talking about single lines, it has to be back and forth, give-and-take, entire scenes". I love it when people ask supposedly rhetorical questions with straightforward answers.
That's just one line. The video is about entire scenes. Of course, they didn't show any of the scenes in their entirety which is probably why there's some confusion.
Actually more fitting with this one is the shooting scene from Indiana Jones. Ford was sick that day and didn't feel like going through the whole choreographed fight. Instead he adlibbed the pulling the gun and shooting the guy cutting the scene down from several minutes to several seconds.
"Big gulps huh? Well, catch ya later." I could've sworn I heard that line was improvised too. It was suppose to be a simple transition scene and he wasn't suppose to talk to the extras -- I guess that's why they look a little stunned. ua-cam.com/video/N_j5tDuakKU/v-deo.html
Me too it was nice that they include some of the best improvised scenes by the funny man himself Robin Williams, it would be really nice to do an list about him, rest in peace Robin Williams.
I'm mad because you won't let me hear any of the monologues; now I have to go watch Ironman -- again -- now I have to go watch Apocalypse Now -- AGAIN -- now I have to go watch all these dang movies again!! I'm ENJOYING what you have to say but I WISH you could have played a lil more of the clips.
"A debilitating disease" with which he hated living. he didn't say he hated his entire life - he stated it in the resent. but for that sake - he battled with life long depression. let's pretend we all knew him personally and what ewas truly in his heart.
hutch thirteen It's what pushed him to commit suicide. Not just hating his life. He fought depression and knowing how influential he is he probably understood that he inspired those who also have depression to keep going. He probably wouldn't have done it if he didn't have the disease. Also being depressed doen't nessisarily mean you are suicidal.
+Andrew Weber Probably because it wasn't improvised. There was a soliloquy in the script, which Rutger Hauer rewrote (and definitely improved). But it wasn't improvised.
But if we're doing Harrison Ford improving one line, it really has to go to his scene in Empire Strikes Back. Or when he shoots the sword guy in Indiana Jones, as that pretty much was the definition of never bring a knife to a gunfight.
Another great scene was from the Joker in "The Dark Knight". The Button to crush the hospital behind him was supposed to work but it didn't. But they only had one chance to film this scene. So he improvised and didn't even look back. I'm such a huge Fan :3
+Nini Cookie Please go to watchmojo if you want dark knight in every top ten list ever.. please for the love of god kindly realise that nolan is not even near the class of the kind of directors and movies cinefix chooses.. so please, stop saying joker this joker that nolan this nolan that dark knight blah blah.. ive seen enough of this shit on watchmojo.. let cinefix stay true to cinema
+Nini Cookie the narrator already mentioned in the beginning of the video that he's not talking about single lines or gestures but whole scenes .. which are usually at least 20 seconds long.. theres nothing great about being surprised by an explosion
+akshayneha while I agree about Nolan being overrated, it wasn't just the surprise that was real or special. it was the explosion's delay and Ledger staying in character acting confused and continuing to click the detonator in frustration and and the quirky way he gets the hell out of dodge when it finally goes off.
Keaton Smith Because WatchMojo is terrible, especially when they add things like Naruto and DBZ on a top ten animes list, both of which are poorly animated and written. DBZ is fun, but Naruto is terrible. WatchMojo doesn't have any clue as to what's a good, well, anything, and they don't show the other things they thought about adding in like CineFix does.
arminenreviews I think the only reason DBZ and Naruto took the top spots is because of how well known and how successful they were when they made their debut's worldwide. I am not particularly fond of Naruto but in truth it gained a relatively large following thus making them a top spot.
John Theriault Well it's in cases for lists for things that should even have Naruto on them. Especially for the best anime made ever, because popularity does not lead to an anime being the best. Bleach is terrible and yet it's popular.
arminenreviews On your note of, "popularity does not lead to an anime being the best," I must disagree. My argument with that is popularity shows how great it is, to gather an audience that size makes a film whether it is from feature length to a short to a television series the more money generated and the more of an audience that is drawn toward it makes it so great. More of an audience makes it one of the "best" regardless of the critical components that must make a film a masterpiece. Yes Bleach is terrible and Naruto in my eyes is just as terrible. I don't think they should deserve those spots and popularity, but its success makes them the best in MANY people's eyes.
I got two for you both from Harrison Ford. In the "The Empire Strikes Back", after Princess Leia says "I love you" to Han he was supposed to say "I love you too!" Ford saw it as more in Character if he said it with his face but said "I know" instead. In "Raiders of the lost ark" he was supposed to fight the guy with the giant sword but improvised pulling his gun and shooting him.
Wesley Eskildsen Well in Raiders, Harrison was sick at the time of the shoot and Spielberg was the one who told him, just shoot him. Still a great improved scene :D.
The death of a celebrity never really affected me, no matter who it was, sure it may have been sad but I never knew them personally, until that of Robin Williams. I grew up in the 80's and 90's and remember so many of his movies and stand up. He was one of those people who just was an awesome talent, you were in tears after a comedy routine, but then to see him in dramatic movies like Insomnia, and one that is more depressing now than ever, What Dreams May Come. He was one of, if not the best.
so not even an honorable mention for Heath Ledger's many improvised moments in the joker or the cast reaction to the alien popping out in the first alien movie? I mean both of those were so improvised the cast didn't know what was happening and we got their real reactions on film.
znout65 I feel like the dudes at Cineflix just want to be hipsters about those lists, kind of "hey im making a list of stuff you probably haven't seen and the ones that are more mainstream are just gonna be mentioned because we're not mainstream like that and we appreciate cool stuff that it's not noticed by the layman"
PapeBlaSit The movies they choose we're incredibly mainstream. Goodfellas, apocalypse now, caddyshack, bridesmaids, Spinal tap, a clockwork orange, they even had Iron man.
The alien popping out wasn't improv. How would they improvise special effects out of nowhere. It was planned and in the Alien script. The main cast except for the guy who died in the movie just didn't know about it.
Zombie Ducklings agreed it doesnt count since scott wanted a raw reaction from the actors, so he simply didn't told them about what was gonna pop out of the dudes chest
Don Rickles was the master. Except, he did it in real time, in real life, all the time. He did hours of comedy shows with no written act. He was the master of improvisation.
Actually really disappointed I didn't see Rutger Hauer's "Tears in the Rain" final dialogue in Blade Runner. One of the best improvised speeches and death soliloquies in film history.
the greatest moments in cinema... improv the greatest moments in sports... improv What does these moments teach us? Talent is great, but being able to think on your feet is what separates the great from the legendary.
Ironman was mostly improvised dialogue?!? If you know the character, this was nearly a perfect movie on all fronts INCLUDING dialogue. Someone must have been a prolific Ironman reader!
It's because rdj and tony stark are basically the same exact person. Rdj is a bit more settled down these days, but take a look in his past. He was decidedly a "billionaire playboy" (not sure about the genius or philanthropist part, and definitely toss in Tony's alcoholism except replace booze with I believe heroin or coke for Robert) in his younger days. Sometimes I think even Robert forgets he's not tony stark.
I guess that essentially, RDJ is to thank for the movie being a successful kick-off to the MCU, considering some actors might have dropped the ball without a real script. Not to say that actors who can't improvise well are less talented, it's just good they got an improviser for the lead role.
Five years later, and I still find it hard to believe that Robin Williams is gone. Such an incredible talent will never again be seen in my lifetime, I'm sad to say. A true genius. Godspeed, Robin. We miss you down here!
Yeah! And where the hell is Indiana Jones shooting the swordsman in "Raiders of the Lost Ark"?! They'd done numerous takes of the scene where Indy was supposed to have a whip and sword battle with the guy, Harrison was getting sicker as it got hotter, and on the last one, finally drew his pistol and fired at Terry Richards who immediately reacted to it as if getting shot. Greatest... ad lib.... ever. :)
"I'm walkin' here"... Dustin Hoffman's character Rizzo from Midnight Cowboy. Happened when a car actually broke through the set unintentionally. Such a pro.
Indiana Jones shooting a swordsman on Raiders of the Lost Ark...supposed to be a prolonged fight, but Harrison Ford was ill with the flu. A running gag had him shoot the swordsman when he wasn't feeling up to recording the shot, with the swordsman playing it off nicely. The studio loved the scene so much that they kept it in.
Missed the Marx Brothers, they where notorious improvisors both on stage and in movies. Pretty much their entire careers where based on improvisation. Where ever they went in life, people where worried about them playing pranks and embarassing them. And they took great joy in embarassing people who took themselves very seriously.
+Willem Verheij Sorry to disappoint you, man, but its a known fact that literally everything in the Marx Brothers movies was scripted. The writers just knew who they were working with and wrote for each actor what they thought they'd do. Sometimes they were vague, yes, leaving stuff like "Harpo does something funny" in the script but mostly it was all scripted. Just FYI.
Jadara Hino I'll take Harpo's word for it. He describes in his book how the filming of the cocoanuts went down. Their director would ruin his own movie by constantly laughing at their adlibs while filming, and while he laughed the marx brothers wandered off to go gamble and do other stuff. They had to put the director in a soundproof booth where he could laugh all he want and they had jail cells brought to the set to keep the Marx Brothers from wandering off, they had a phone inside it so they could call their bookies from there. How much Groucho and Chico adlibbed may be debateable, but that Harpo improvised a lot he did is clear. And I assume that his brothers reactions to his unscripted bits would be improvised as well. They always tried to outdo each other after all.
So thoughtful of you for not pinpointing any work of the great Robin Williams and accompanying the short clip .... Gone but not forgotten thank you. Rip
Why wasnt Roy's death speech from Bladerunner in here? The guy made one of the most well remembered soliloquies in film history by making up something on the spot and throwing out 99% of his lines for that scene.
Some of my favorite are 1. Like tears in the rain- blade runner 2. Game over man- aliens 3. Warriors come out to play- the warriors 4. Indiana jones shooting guy with sword - Indiana jones 5. I know (Han Solo line) - Star Wars
+justun chan ... Apparently, she is still very angry that Dicaprio did that and that Tarantino didn't cut the scene. I guess it's a legitimate beef, but it's also a phenomenal scene.
justun chan Seriously. The girl had to be praying that Dicaprio didn't have undiagnosed AIDS. I get the "give everything for the camera" stuff, but he was taking a chance with another person's life there. I guess nothing bad happened thankfully.
When people say a scene was improvised it gives more conventional audience members a faux impression of what it means. They think that the camera was rolling and they just came up with it on the spot(much like Dustin Hoffman apparently did in Midnight Cowboy) but 95% of the time it just means that in rehearsal between the actors the spitball and improvise, like the idea, approach the director, then shoot different versions of the scene, some with the non-scripted dialogue and some without. For your health :)
One scene you missed was Saving Private Ryan. Matt Damon made up the story in between takes of the girl and his brothers. He was telling the story to Tom Hanks, and Speilberg loved it so much, that he included it in the final film. You could have also included The Dark Knight, as Heath Ledger did most of the scenes off the cuff as well.
Yep, and it does not say at all what was improvised in Iron Man, I still wonder if that was real, there is nothing improvised as I can tell in that flick. It feels phoned in in this video.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Paul Reuben was told to keep dying by the director, so he kept dying... and dying....and dying... and dying... and dying... ... ... ...
Do you mean in Aliens between Vasquez and someone else while going through the ventilation ducts? "Hey Vasques, you know I..." "Yeah I know." I tried checking, but couldn't find it, maybe I imagined it, which is confusing as it was one of my favourite bits.
Another great one is Leonardo DiCaprio in Django cutting his hand for real when he banged his hand down on the table and broke a glass. He continued the scene by putting his hand on the head and face of the actress who legitimately looked terrified.
+Samantha Perry I looked it up improvise means changing something without preparation well it took them 3 days to prepare for this big fight scene problem was harrison didn't even know he was sick until the day they where going to shoot so after several tries Spielberg says "just shoot the f__ker" that's improvisation.
What about in Indiana Jones when a swordsman comes up to fight him and he just shoots him. Originally there was a big battle but Harrison Ford got tired of doing it over and over again.
Its known that Harrison Ford was ill that day and so to shorten the filming he decided to shoot. The actor playing the guy with the knife did some nice improv himself to keep it going. Awesome scene.
Jeremiah Pierce That guy was pissed too because he spent weeks and weeks of training for the fight. I saw a Documentary on Indiana Jones talking about it they never mentioned Ford was ill that day they said that Harrison Ford didn't believe Indiana Jones would bother to fight someone with a sword with his bare hands and that Indiana Jones would have just shot him since his gun was on him.
Wah wah. Maybe they'll make another list where "actor forced to act over movie set fuck ups" is a category. This channel tries to highlight ones that not many people have heard of as well as classic ones.
For me, it was just as sad when Jim Varney died. There is a video on UA-cam with Robin Williams and Jim Varney goofing around behind a stage; now it's the saddest thing on the internet.
Rutger Hauer.. "I've seen things, you people, would not believe... " etc. When Ridley Scott lets you go and refuses to stop filming, you know it's special. I know Scorsese has the monopoly on letting actors go full tilt and creating magic, but this one moment from Hauer is just magical. Iconic. Just ..... amazing. I guess it is easily overlooked, except the day after his death. RIP.
No Heath Ledger improvised a majority of his scenes in the Dark Knight. The one Clapping seems to be the most recognized. Nolan said that Ledger got so into the Joker that he would improvise many scenes. When he was hitting the button that was improvised because the crew messed up. Something happened that the explosion didn't go off right on cue and it had something to do with the crew messing it up. Ledger improvised the hitting the button a bunch of times because he stayed in character throughout the entire scene and refused to get out of character to figure out what was going on.
Protip: When creating a Top-10, you make "This is Spinal Tap" #11.
Best post in the whole comments section!
The real LPT is always in the comments
Actual genius.

DiCaprio cuts his hand in Django and smears it on homegirl's face is some boss improv.

DH_Artist I truly hope so because he would of lost a ball if that was me
@@DH_Artist Yes and no..they did indeed fix up Leo's hand...but, it was Kerry's (Broomhilda) idea to have the "blood" smeared over her face.

Harrison Ford's classic improv:
Princess Leia, "I love you!"
Han Solo, "I know."
Yeah, that was iconic. But I get why they didn't include it, that was one line not a full scene.
*jes*

How about Rutger Hauer's improvised "tears in the rain" monologue at the end of Blade Runner?
THANK YOU!
Blade Runner was just epic old enough to have seen it in the movie theater. Seen it countless times over the yrs.
That was improvised?!?!?!

I thought this list was awesome - until I was reminded that Rutger Hauer's speech in Blade Runner was improvised. That has to be the most amazing improvised moment in film.
Like tears... in the rain
It's almost impossible to believe that was improvised. Just brilliant. Hats off to you Mr. Hauer. You are missed.
I love that so much. But I don't think it was improvised I think it was just written by Rutger Hauer just wrote it
I would definitely agree with you on that one, that's scene was beautiful Rutger Hauer is an great actor, rest in peace Rutger Hauer we all love you.
It wasn't improvised so much as modified from the original. But there is no comparison to the original and what Rutger created,
Thanks for the mention of the scenes, yet not even showing a real portion of the scenes you are talking about.
Ikr
Ezra Po The point is to get you to go watch those movies if you haven't, and/or not giving the great scene away. I was thankful they didn't run some of those scenes any longer than they did (especially the scene from Full Metal Jacket. Even though it didn't get a spot, that scene is a goldmine).
Ezra Po Copyright issues.
+qqleq2 how does watch mojo do it?
Damn. It's been two years and I still cry over Robin Williams. I couldn't explain it to you, but I suppose some people make an impact without even meeting you.
No explanation needed. If he'd lived to be 500 years old, he still would have died too soon.
Indeed @@mattdickie4696 . He was a rare talent.
He did 14 hours of improv for Ferngully....Originally, his role was planned to be about eight minutes long
Bill Murray actually whispered “Hail Hydra” to Scarlet Johansson in “Lost in Translation”
Bullshit
The Marx Brothers had scripts with pages that just said "Harpo does something funny."
+jesternario Yea, kinda sad they weren't even "Honorable Mentions"

Yeah, i remember that. Such legends!
Obviously that didn't go well, I've never seen any of them do anything funny at all.
LOL.

And his 'express elevator to hell'
Best Bill Murray line: Ghostbusters - "It's true, your honor, this man has no dick."
I don't know if that was improvised or not, but total classic.
Here at Agustta
Sigourney Weaver: "Do you want this body?"
Bill Murray: "Is this a trick question?"
Best scene ever
The single greatest improv scene of all time is Rutger Hauer's "Tears in Rain" monologue in the movie Blade Runner directed by Ridley Scott.
Lovemachine I gave you a "thumb up" but that speech was actually written by Hauer. He suggested to Ridley Scott to let him say a few off-the-script words before dying, but he had been having in mind most of the speech for a couple of hours by then.
Nevertheless, great cinema moment!
I gave you a "thumb up" but actually, Hauer's speech was adapted from the original script that Scott had provided him, which also mentioned various 'gates' and battles that had no other prior connection to the bladerunner universe. However Hauer decided to give it his own spin and everyone was so impressed that they finished in one take.
The scene in Jurassic Park where the dinosaur chomped the blood-sucking lawyer in two was completely improvised. The CGI T Rex got carried away and they just kept the camera rolling. Directors hate to shout "CUT!"
lol?
It wasn't CGI, it was an animatronic
Nobody talks to me in parties. :(
Um if you knew anything about how they shot this scene they used both. In this particular scene it was the CGI as the animatronic version wasn't capable of such swift, realistic movement........I make up friends in my head!
Dominic White So it wasn't a real CGI dinosaur?
Also the dino that ate Wayne Knight improvised "Helloooooo Newman" before biting him, although sadly that one didn't make the final edit
An honorable mention goes to Eli Wallach in The Good, The Bad And The Ugly. The entire scene where he's in the store looking for a revolver is off the cuff and the storekeeper's reactions are genuine. From Wallach mixing and matching revolver parts to when he puts the "CLOSED" sign in the storekeeper's mouth, it was all improvised.
In _Spaceballs_, Rick Moranis ad-libbed the entire scene where he was playing with the action figures. The script only called for him to play with the dolls--he did everything else.
Gotta wonder how he really played with his dolls - cough - action figures when he was a kid.
This is Rick improv in Ghostbusters (at his house party)
Ted! Annette! I'm glad you could come, how you doin', give me your coats. Everybody, this is Ted and Annette Fleming! Ted has a small carpet cleaning business in receivership; Annette's drawing a salary from a deferred bonus from two years ago! They got fifteen thousand left on the house at eight percent.
Johnny Depp and Dana Carvey are both adlib kings. But I'm glad you did the tribute to Robin Williams...he was, and always will be, comic genius.
A lot of comments here are about improvised lines, whereas this list is of whole scenes that were improvised.
Indeed. I think it's because those are easier to remember, but it wasn't the point of this list.
Robin Williams is the King of improv! Heard a story once that after the first episode or two of Mork and Mindy the writers would just insert, "Robin speaks here' into the script.
They did ^^ He got the part of Mork because when he auditioned he was askes to "sit down" and he sat on his head :) The Director said he was hired because he was the only alien :D
Here, think of it this way. Robin Williams isn't dead, he's just waiting in the jungle 'till someone rolls a 5 or a 7
God damnit
***** "In the jungle you must wait, until the dice read five or eight."
MrPurby Tiisler I so wish that were true.
How could you forget "We're gonna need a bigger boat" from Jaws.
They're gonna need a bigger list.
"You're gonna need a bigger boat."
Because they said "we're not just talking about single lines, it has to be back and forth, give-and-take, entire scenes". I love it when people ask supposedly rhetorical questions with straightforward answers.
I would go with #2 being Han Solo, "I know."
agreed
Peter Griffin-"Fuck Off".
That's just one line. The video is about entire scenes. Of course, they didn't show any of the scenes in their entirety which is probably why there's some confusion.
Actually more fitting with this one is the shooting scene from Indiana Jones. Ford was sick that day and didn't feel like going through the whole choreographed fight. Instead he adlibbed the pulling the gun and shooting the guy cutting the scene down from several minutes to several seconds.
Dumb & Dumber: The most annoying sound-Scene was also improvised by Jim Carrey. You can clearly see Jeff Daniels suprised face :D
The guy in middle genuine annoyance
Efthymia S
So was squeezing the ketchup and mustard.
So was "WE LANDED ON THE MOON!"
"Big gulps huh? Well, catch ya later." I could've sworn I heard that line was improvised too. It was suppose to be a simple transition scene and he wasn't suppose to talk to the extras -- I guess that's why they look a little stunned. ua-cam.com/video/N_j5tDuakKU/v-deo.html
Are pets heads are falling off
You could have done top ten with Robin Williams, now THAT would have been a top ten!
Just what I was thinking.
Me too it was nice that they include some of the best improvised scenes by the funny man himself Robin Williams, it would be really nice to do an list about him, rest in peace Robin Williams.
I'm mad because you won't let me hear any of the monologues; now I have to go watch Ironman -- again -- now I have to go watch Apocalypse Now -- AGAIN -- now I have to go watch all these dang movies again!!
I'm ENJOYING what you have to say but I WISH you could have played a lil more of the clips.
Why didn't they show the whole scene rather than bits and pieces and describing the rest of the scenes that were improv?
Probably worried about takedown strikes being filed against the video.
In the case of Ironman, they probably have to show almost the entire movie..
Tina Pug
Copyright? Obviously?
Basically the entirety of "The Mask" with Jim Carry, and some parts of both Ace Ventura movies
Oh Robin Williams, why did you have to go?
He didn't hate living. He had a
Debilitating disease that was slowly eating away at his motor skills and his mind.
"A debilitating disease" with which he hated living. he didn't say he hated his entire life - he stated it in the resent. but for that sake - he battled with life long depression. let's pretend we all knew him personally and what ewas truly in his heart.
hutch thirteen It's what pushed him to commit suicide. Not just hating his life. He fought depression and knowing how influential he is he probably understood that he inspired those who also have depression to keep going. He probably wouldn't have done it if he didn't have the disease. Also being depressed doen't nessisarily mean you are suicidal.
I have crippling depression
Robin Williams was the king of improv
"I came here to kick ass and chew bubble gum. And I'm all out of bubble gum."
And it's not here
"I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I'm all out of bubblegum."
Actually this video is about whole scenes, not just one line of dialogue, which might be why it's not here...?
That isn’t a whole scene
Best line ever.
It's time to kick gum and chew ass
And i'm all out of ass
-Dick Kickem
Dude! No Blade Runner final monologue!? What the Heck! It was incredible and easily beats out most of the scenes on this list.
+Andrew Weber Probably because it wasn't improvised. There was a soliloquy in the script, which Rutger Hauer rewrote (and definitely improved). But it wasn't improvised.
I thought the last line was improv?
"Like tears in rain" was improvised.
chiffmonkey that's what i thought. either way, it was delivered perfectly.
But if we're doing Harrison Ford improving one line, it really has to go to his scene in Empire Strikes Back. Or when he shoots the sword guy in Indiana Jones, as that pretty much was the definition of never bring a knife to a gunfight.
Another great scene was from the Joker in "The Dark Knight". The Button to crush the hospital behind him was supposed to work but it didn't. But they only had one chance to film this scene. So he improvised and didn't even look back.
I'm such a huge Fan :3
+Nini Cookie this hands one of my absolute favorite scenes of all time
+Nini Cookie Have you watch the making of? Nothing was improvised in that scene.
That being said, Heath Ledger was perfect as the Joker.
+Nini Cookie Please go to watchmojo if you want dark knight in every top ten list ever.. please for the love of god kindly realise that nolan is not even near the class of the kind of directors and movies cinefix chooses.. so please, stop saying joker this joker that nolan this nolan that dark knight blah blah.. ive seen enough of this shit on watchmojo.. let cinefix stay true to cinema
+Nini Cookie the narrator already mentioned in the beginning of the video that he's not talking about single lines or gestures but whole scenes .. which are usually at least 20 seconds long.. theres nothing great about being surprised by an explosion
+akshayneha
while I agree about Nolan being overrated, it wasn't just the surprise that was real or special.
it was the explosion's delay and Ledger staying in character acting confused and continuing to click the detonator in frustration and and the quirky way he gets the hell out of dodge when it finally goes off.
"I got a jar of dirt" from Pirates of the Carribean is legendary improv 😂
The entire opening of Full Metal Jacket. I am glad it got a mention, but it DEFINITELY deserves it's own spot.
Dark Knight, the button mishap with Heath Ledger in the hospital scene.
***** Yes, it was. Ledger also created the torture scene by himself.
***** You may recall that the Joker pressed the button twice. The second time by the bus was improvised.
It wasn't improvised the bombs were meant by Christopher Nolan to not explode. The only thing improvised by Heath Ledger is his reaction
TheEnterestingEnderman also when Ledger claps while he's locked up
***** That movie was sooooooo great
What about The Godfather? "Leave the gun. Take the cannoli."
Or any of Don Correlone’s dialouge in the first one
An advice for life
Cinefix? New channel? You're like WatchMojo, only better for some reason.
Keaton Smith Because WatchMojo is terrible, especially when they add things like Naruto and DBZ on a top ten animes list, both of which are poorly animated and written. DBZ is fun, but Naruto is terrible. WatchMojo doesn't have any clue as to what's a good, well, anything, and they don't show the other things they thought about adding in like CineFix does.
arminenreviews I think the only reason DBZ and Naruto took the top spots is because of how well known and how successful they were when they made their debut's worldwide. I am not particularly fond of Naruto but in truth it gained a relatively large following thus making them a top spot.
Keaton Smith Cinefix doesn't constantly contradict itself
John Theriault Well it's in cases for lists for things that should even have Naruto on them. Especially for the best anime made ever, because popularity does not lead to an anime being the best. Bleach is terrible and yet it's popular.
arminenreviews On your note of, "popularity does not lead to an anime being the best," I must disagree. My argument with that is popularity shows how great it is, to gather an audience that size makes a film whether it is from feature length to a short to a television series the more money generated and the more of an audience that is drawn toward it makes it so great. More of an audience makes it one of the "best" regardless of the critical components that must make a film a masterpiece.
Yes Bleach is terrible and Naruto in my eyes is just as terrible. I don't think they should deserve those spots and popularity, but its success makes them the best in MANY people's eyes.
I got two for you both from Harrison Ford. In the "The Empire Strikes Back", after Princess Leia says "I love you" to Han he was supposed to say "I love you too!" Ford saw it as more in Character if he said it with his face but said "I know" instead. In "Raiders of the lost ark" he was supposed to fight the guy with the giant sword but improvised pulling his gun and shooting him.
They included those in their 'Best unscripted lines' list.
Wesley Eskildsen Well in Raiders, Harrison was sick at the time of the shoot and Spielberg was the one who told him, just shoot him. Still a great improved scene :D.
Wesley Eskildsen Both happened because Harrison Ford was sick/tired/bored and not really in the mood to draw the scene out.
+Tyler Moore The way I remember it was that he was sick and asked Spielberg ,,Can't I just shoot him?"
+Wesley Eskildsen The whole "boring conversation anyway" bit in A New Hope was unscripted too, I believe
Midnight Cowboy. Dustin Hoffman: “...I’m walking here, I’m waolking here”
Such a great moment.
The death of a celebrity never really affected me, no matter who it was, sure it may have been sad but I never knew them personally, until that of Robin Williams. I grew up in the 80's and 90's and remember so many of his movies and stand up. He was one of those people who just was an awesome talent, you were in tears after a comedy routine, but then to see him in dramatic movies like Insomnia, and one that is more depressing now than ever, What Dreams May Come. He was one of, if not the best.
so not even an honorable mention for Heath Ledger's many improvised moments in the joker or the cast reaction to the alien popping out in the first alien movie? I mean both of those were so improvised the cast didn't know what was happening and we got their real reactions on film.
znout65 I feel like the dudes at Cineflix just want to be hipsters about those lists, kind of "hey im making a list of stuff you probably haven't seen and the ones that are more mainstream are just gonna be mentioned because we're not mainstream like that and we appreciate cool stuff that it's not noticed by the layman"
PapeBlaSit The movies they choose we're incredibly mainstream. Goodfellas, apocalypse now, caddyshack, bridesmaids, Spinal tap, a clockwork orange, they even had Iron man.
This isn't WatchMojo
The alien popping out wasn't improv. How would they improvise special effects out of nowhere. It was planned and in the Alien script. The main cast except for the guy who died in the movie just didn't know about it.
Zombie Ducklings
agreed it doesnt count since scott wanted a raw reaction from the actors, so he simply didn't told them about what was gonna pop out of the dudes chest
The therapy sessions in one flew over the cuckoo's nest were improvised 👌
Two of the best improv'ers of all time; Robin Williams and, Jim Carey...
Jim Carey is a dick.
Yeah Robin was the real deal nice guy
Don Rickles was the master. Except, he did it in real time, in real life, all the time. He did hours of comedy shows with no written act. He was the master of improvisation.
But both could be very annoying.
clockwork is one of my all time favorites but the full metal jacket scene is just brilliant improv. I'd rank it higher
Actually really disappointed I didn't see Rutger Hauer's "Tears in the Rain" final dialogue in Blade Runner. One of the best improvised speeches and death soliloquies in film history.
the greatest moments in cinema... improv
the greatest moments in sports... improv
What does these moments teach us? Talent is great, but being able to think on your feet is what separates the great from the legendary.
Thats deep man
Ironman was mostly improvised dialogue?!? If you know the character, this was nearly a perfect movie on all fronts INCLUDING dialogue. Someone must have been a prolific Ironman reader!
It's because rdj and tony stark are basically the same exact person. Rdj is a bit more settled down these days, but take a look in his past. He was decidedly a "billionaire playboy" (not sure about the genius or philanthropist part, and definitely toss in Tony's alcoholism except replace booze with I believe heroin or coke for Robert) in his younger days. Sometimes I think even Robert forgets he's not tony stark.
Kayling05 he has said sometimes he finds it hard to seperate the two because how similiar they are or were
Neg Ative I think it helps that Robert Downey Jr and Tony Stark are the same person.
Kayling05 And replace billionaire with maybe millionaire.
But yes, RDJ IS Tony Stark.
I guess that essentially, RDJ is to thank for the movie being a successful kick-off to the MCU, considering some actors might have dropped the ball without a real script. Not to say that actors who can't improvise well are less talented, it's just good they got an improviser for the lead role.
Five years later, and I still find it hard to believe that Robin Williams is gone. Such an incredible talent will never again be seen in my lifetime, I'm sad to say. A true genius. Godspeed, Robin. We miss you down here!

+MeroPlays That's why I don't like Top 10 lists: there's so much fantastic content that gets left out.
+hendrsb33 yeah I agree, but sometimes I do like it. If you're looking for a horror movie for example you can sometimes find something you havn't seen
Yeah!
And where the hell is Indiana Jones shooting the swordsman in "Raiders of the Lost Ark"?!
They'd done numerous takes of the scene where Indy was supposed to have a whip and sword battle with the guy, Harrison was getting sicker as it got hotter, and on the last one, finally drew his pistol and fired at Terry Richards who immediately reacted to it as if getting shot.
Greatest... ad lib.... ever. :)
+MeroPlays I still have not seen Bladerunner. I am so ashamed, I can hardly look at myself in the mirror. haha
"I'm walkin' here"... Dustin Hoffman's character Rizzo from Midnight Cowboy. Happened when a car actually broke through the set unintentionally. Such a pro.
Indiana Jones shooting a swordsman on Raiders of the Lost Ark...supposed to be a prolonged fight, but Harrison Ford was ill with the flu. A running gag had him shoot the swordsman when he wasn't feeling up to recording the shot, with the swordsman playing it off nicely. The studio loved the scene so much that they kept it in.
It was food poisoning
Ha! Not only did Han shoot first, but so did Indy!
Missed the Marx Brothers, they where notorious improvisors both on stage and in movies. Pretty much their entire careers where based on improvisation. Where ever they went in life, people where worried about them playing pranks and embarassing them. And they took great joy in embarassing people who took themselves very seriously.
+Willem Verheij Sorry to disappoint you, man, but its a known fact that literally everything in the Marx Brothers movies was scripted. The writers just knew who they were working with and wrote for each actor what they thought they'd do. Sometimes they were vague, yes, leaving stuff like "Harpo does something funny" in the script but mostly it was all scripted. Just FYI.
Jadara Hino I'll take Harpo's word for it. He describes in his book how the filming of the cocoanuts went down. Their director would ruin his own movie by constantly laughing at their adlibs while filming, and while he laughed the marx brothers wandered off to go gamble and do other stuff. They had to put the director in a soundproof booth where he could laugh all he want and they had jail cells brought to the set to keep the Marx Brothers from wandering off, they had a phone inside it so they could call their bookies from there.
How much Groucho and Chico adlibbed may be debateable, but that Harpo improvised a lot he did is clear. And I assume that his brothers reactions to his unscripted bits would be improvised as well. They always tried to outdo each other after all.
+Willem Verheij Love the Marx Brothers! Great call!
So thoughtful of you for not pinpointing any work of the great Robin Williams and accompanying the short clip .... Gone but not forgotten thank you. Rip
Leave the gun, take the cannoli.
YES! My favorite movie line of all time.
The Godfather.
ray mesquite part 2
Robin Williams is number 2?
No he's number one!
Here's to Robin Williams!
TheTheif144 He will always be number one :]
TheTheif144 he's talking about the editing error
Hey Nick, No they said Robin was number 1 (And so he should)
Well at 7:56 for number 2, it says his name. Editing error it seems.
“Yeah but these go to eleven” funniest thing I think I ever heard. that’s something I would definitely say
Why wasnt Roy's death speech from Bladerunner in here? The guy made one of the most well remembered soliloquies in film history by making up something on the spot and throwing out 99% of his lines for that scene.
Where's the "I'm WALKIN' HERE I'M WALKIN' HERE!" scene from Midnight Cowboy?!
people already know about it.
Draxis32 Its not a scene its a line. As they said at the beginning of the video they wanted scenes.
Draxis32 that was just because the taxi ignored the closed set sign it was more of a last ditch then a improv
I thought that one would be on here too
Good question. Can you name the actor and character?
The line-up scene in The Usual Suspects is missing.
Usually I'd say "Seriously" in agreement...but there was nothing serious about that scene! Classic!
I legit almost cried when Robin Williams, he's one of my favorite actors ever and yeah, it was tragic
He was even more annoying than Bill Murray.
Oh be quiet.
At least he died as he lived: improving his own death
Some of my favorite are
1. Like tears in the rain- blade runner
2. Game over man- aliens
3. Warriors come out to play- the
warriors
4. Indiana jones shooting guy with sword - Indiana jones
5. I know (Han Solo line) - Star Wars
Indiana Jones shot a guy with a sword?! Didn't know a sword has bullets.
I totally improvised that.
Roy Scheider's "You're gonna need a bigger boat" line from Jaws was improvised.
A great line, but just one line. These were entire scenes.
Leonardo Dicaprio when he cuts his hand in D'jango Unchained
justun chan that was an accident, not improvised
nudl3Zz he improvised the part when he smothered the girl's face with his blood and the look of shock and fear in her eyes were probably legitimate.
+justun chan ... Apparently, she is still very angry that Dicaprio did that and that Tarantino didn't cut the scene. I guess it's a legitimate beef, but it's also a phenomenal scene.
+justun chan Leo needs an Oscar for that one. Fantastic scene.
justun chan Seriously. The girl had to be praying that Dicaprio didn't have undiagnosed AIDS. I get the "give everything for the camera" stuff, but he was taking a chance with another person's life there. I guess nothing bad happened thankfully.
When people say a scene was improvised it gives more conventional audience members a faux impression of what it means. They think that the camera was rolling and they just came up with it on the spot(much like Dustin Hoffman apparently did in Midnight Cowboy) but 95% of the time it just means that in rehearsal between the actors the spitball and improvise, like the idea, approach the director, then shoot different versions of the scene, some with the non-scripted dialogue and some without.
For your health :)
*between the actors *THEY* spitball..*
That definitely isn't the case in Apocalypse Now
Or Leonardo DiCaprio in Jango
One scene you missed was Saving Private Ryan. Matt Damon made up the story in between takes of the girl and his brothers. He was telling the story to Tom Hanks, and Speilberg loved it so much, that he included it in the final film. You could have also included The Dark Knight, as Heath Ledger did most of the scenes off the cuff as well.
THE LINE UP THO in Usual suspects
I nominate the "Tears in the rain" scene from Blade Runner. Rutger Hauer made up that bit of poetry in the end.
God damnit. It's 2020. Robin Williams has been dead for 6 years, but when you bring it up I still get all teary. What the hell is wrong with me?
This video would be improved with ACTUAL MOVIE DIALOGUE.
Yep, and it does not say at all what was improvised in Iron Man, I still wonder if that was real, there is nothing improvised as I can tell in that flick. It feels phoned in in this video.
I always think that about their videos. They talk up a scene then don't even show a clip. On to more talking.
@@nigratruo I know this is 9 months later, but from what I've read nearly everything RDJ said in that movie was improvised
@@Mliecah04 how do you like a 9 month later response?!
Sorry, had to comment when I saw you made a 9th month late response 9 months ago

*ROBIN WILLIAMS*
Me: WTF!?
Turn on the annotations
How about the "I love you" "I know" scene???????
That's my favorite! I'm glad someone picked it!
this video is about scenes, not 1 line
Much better than Ghost - "I love you"..."Ditto." "Ditto", pfft
Do you mean in Aliens between Vasquez and someone else while going through the ventilation ducts? "Hey Vasques, you know I..." "Yeah I know."
I tried checking, but couldn't find it, maybe I imagined it, which is confusing as it was one of my favourite bits.
Another great one is Leonardo DiCaprio in Django cutting his hand for real when he banged his hand down on the table and broke a glass. He continued the scene by putting his hand on the head and face of the actress who legitimately looked terrified.
@Alexander Supertramp Oh really? I hadn't heard that. Link?
Jack Sparrow's "Jar of dirt" scene? A mention at least. Johnny Depp was hilarious
i'm surprised they did'nt mention the raiders of the lost ark scene where he shoots they guy with the sword.
***** Gr8 b8 m8
***** BABA YEGA
+Turbo 86 Did he shoot the guy with the sword in his pajamas?
+jason kreider That wasn't improvised. It was changed the day of because Harrison Ford was sick and didn't want to do action stuff that day.
+Samantha Perry I looked it up improvise means changing something without preparation well it took them 3 days to prepare for this big fight scene problem was harrison didn't even know he was sick until the day they where going to shoot so after several tries Spielberg says "just shoot the f__ker" that's improvisation.
Always love Mr Williams work, RIP and thanks for the laughs!!
What about in Indiana Jones when a swordsman comes up to fight him and he just shoots him. Originally there was a big battle but Harrison Ford got tired of doing it over and over again.
Hahah really?
I read this on the IMDB page a few months and I was actually surprised by this
No he had food poison
Its known that Harrison Ford was ill that day and so to shorten the filming he decided to shoot. The actor playing the guy with the knife did some nice improv himself to keep it going. Awesome scene.
Jeremiah Pierce That guy was pissed too because he spent weeks and weeks of training for the fight. I saw a Documentary on Indiana Jones talking about it they never mentioned Ford was ill that day they said that Harrison Ford didn't believe Indiana Jones would bother to fight someone with a sword with his bare hands and that Indiana Jones would have just shot him since his gun was on him.
DiCaprio in fucking Django Umchained
Heath Ledger in Dark Knight ????
Wah wah. Maybe they'll make another list where "actor forced to act over movie set fuck ups" is a category. This channel tries to highlight ones that not many people have heard of as well as classic ones.
+Bailie Boo easy
they improvised a couple lines or movie moments. they didn't improvise entire scenes
AAAAAAAAAH
THE JOKER WAS CLAPPING
OMFG HE'S A GENIUS
It was more of a fuck up then an actual inprovisation .
"I love you" "I know" is a good one. That answer is just so much more Han Solo than simply "I love you too". Iconic.
Just like Robin Williams, it is going to be so sad when Bill Murray kicks the bucket :'(
Cant we make these people live forever!?
We should clone them!
So Sad So Bad
ardenaudreyarji
but if we did that we would clone anouther dead rob witch would make everyone more sad
They will live forever in our hearts, so I don't mind that they get soem rest whilewe have our memories.
For me, it was just as sad when Jim Varney died. There is a video on UA-cam with Robin Williams and Jim Varney goofing around behind a stage; now it's the saddest thing on the internet.
Django Unchained dinner sequence? No? Oh ok... No love fore Leo
He fucked up his hand and just rolled with it, not really improv
the rubbing the blood on the other actors was not in the script and the speech was partially improved as well
***** well, given that he cut his hand I should've imagined that wasn't in the script. Nice to know.
Leo sucks. He's always overacting.
You are a dumb
Rutger Hauer.. "I've seen things, you people, would not believe... " etc.
When Ridley Scott lets you go and refuses to stop filming, you know it's special.
I know Scorsese has the monopoly on letting actors go full tilt and creating magic, but this one moment from Hauer is just magical. Iconic. Just ..... amazing.
I guess it is easily overlooked, except the day after his death. RIP.
"It's game over man, it's game over! The f*ck we gonna do now?!"
You forgot that one.
Absolutely! Aliens.
You found Bridesmaids funny? You should have a farting contest sometime. The subtle wit involved would blow your minds.
The "Eleven" scene from "Spinal Tap" had a prop in it that had an eleven on it:
How did they improvise the 11 painted on the amp?
They improvised the reaction
Well you don't see the number 11 in the same shot that you see them saying it. They could have just edited it in
For the first few I couldn't tell what scene they were talking about exactly. Was the improve scene the whole movie for some of them?
EXACTLY what I was thinking! They contradicted their own intro by adding in those tidbits!
what about the joker hospital scene from the dark knight?
Was thinking the same thing but it wasn't really talking back and forth like they said in the beginning
Or when he starts clapping in the jail cell when Gordon is promoted to commissioner.
It's not that great, and besides they said entire pieces of dialogue and/or actions.
No Heath Ledger improvised a majority of his scenes in the Dark Knight. The one Clapping seems to be the most recognized. Nolan said that Ledger got so into the Joker that he would improvise many scenes. When he was hitting the button that was improvised because the crew messed up. Something happened that the explosion didn't go off right on cue and it had something to do with the crew messing it up. Ledger improvised the hitting the button a bunch of times because he stayed in character throughout the entire scene and refused to get out of character to figure out what was going on.
