Many of the world’s favorite films have scenes that are completely UNFORGETTABLE! However, sometimes the goings-on in the scene are unscripted. Check out this list and see if yours made the cut.
In Avengers: Infinity War, Tom Holland improvised his final lines before disintegrating and turning into dust.
In Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory, Gene Wilder improvised his character’s limp into a somersault.
In The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, Elizabeth Banks purposefully went off script to mention mahogany–a reference to her famous line from the first film.
In Fast & Furious 6, The Rock ad-libbed this insult, making Ludacris literally spit out his drink from laughing too hard.
In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Tom Felton forgot his line while shooting and improvised an even better one.
In The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Steve Carell’s chest was actually waxed for the first time, so all of his reactions were genuine.
In Django Unchained, Leonardo DiCaprio accidentally cut his hand open while filming a scene but decided to keep acting.
In Clueless, Donald Faison improvised “I’m keepin’ it real” during the head shaving scene. The line was based on something he heard a kid in his neighborhood say.
I’m sure that there are a ton more out there that people aren’t talking about! I love learning fun trivia about actors like this. Can you imagine coming up with some of this stuff?
