‘You Know … Morons’

If you haven’t seen many of Gene Wilder’s movies, consider giving them a watch on your streaming service. In “Blazing Saddles,” there’s a truly clever and unscripted moment where Wilder’s character, who plays the Waco Kid, tries to cheer up Sheriff Bart with humor.

What’s special about this is that Wilder added the line, “You know… morons,” which wasn’t in the script. This made Cleavon Little, who played Sheriff Bart, genuinely laugh during the scene. That real laughter added a lot to the moment and made it even better. It’s a great example of how an actor’s improvisation can turn a good scene into a great one.

‘The Horror’

In the movie “Apocalypse Now,” Marlon Brando did something very special. He made up most of his lines as he was filming. The director, Francis Ford Coppola, had to be really creative because Brando had gained a lot of weight, and it was challenging to film him.

Surprisingly, about half of the lines in the movie, including Brando’s famous speech about war, were not written in the script. He just said what came to his mind. This made the film feel very spontaneous and unique. It’s a great example of how an actor’s improvisation can add a lot to a movie.

‘OK, Who Brought the Dog?’

Rick Moranis, a beloved actor famous for his roles in many well-liked movies, decided to step away from acting in the late 90s to spend more time with his family. However, in the 1984 film “Ghostbusters,” he showed his talent as an improviser.

There’s a scene at a party where Moranis’ character does some really funny and unexpected things. What’s cool is that he made up all of that on the spot. The director, Ivan Reitman, was really impressed and said Moranis did a great job with his improvisation. It’s a nice example of how an actor’s quick thinking can make a scene even better.

‘I’m King of the World!’

In the movie “Titanic,” there’s a really famous line where Leonardo DiCaprio’s character says, “I’m the king of the world.” What’s interesting is that he made up this line during a rehearsal on a boat. The director, James Cameron, thought it was so good that he decided to keep it in the movie.

This moment wasn’t planned, but it became one of the most well-known lines in the whole film. It added a special and spontaneous touch to a romantic scene. It shows how sometimes, the best things in movies happen when actors come up with ideas on the spot. Who thought uttering something randomly would make you your audience’s favorite.

‘Here’s Lookin’ at You, Kid.’

In the classic movie “Casablanca,” there’s this really famous line that almost didn’t happen the way it did. In the script, Humphrey Bogart was supposed to say something different to Ingrid Bergman. But during a poker lesson, he said these other words, and they became legendary.

Just like the famous line in “Titanic,” this unique moment got added to the script because it was so good. It shows how these unplanned moments can become a big part of movie history. Sometimes, what actors say in the moment turns out to be the most memorable part of a film.

‘I’m Singing in the Rain.’

In Stanley Kubrick’s movie “A Clockwork Orange,” there’s a scene where something strange and musical happens. The actor Malcolm McDowell, who played the main character, started singing during the scene, and it gave the whole thing an eerie feeling. Here’s what’s really surprising: this singing part wasn’t written in the script.

But Kubrick, the director, thought it was so cool that he decided to keep it in the movie. So, something that Malcolm McDowell did on the spot became a memorable part of the film. It’s a good example of how a small, unplanned thing can make a movie really interesting and special.
