Iron Man - Even More Iconic Movie Lines That Were Completely Improvised

This is Spinal Tap

“These go to 11.”

The scene: We all already know that Spinal Tap was practically made without a script, simply following the British rockers around, documentary style! It’s a mockumentary, if you will. So, when they get to the amp scene, it’s all ad-lib, and it is one very memorable exchange.

Nigel’s selling a new amp and tells Marty, “The numbers all go to eleven. Look, right across the board, eleven, eleven, eleven. . .” Finally, Marty interrupts and asks, “Why don’t you just make 10 louder?” Wait for it, deadpan: “These go to eleven.” You can’t deny that these actors did a stellar job at pretty much improvising the whole movie!

Wayne’s World

“I think we’ll go with a little Bohemian Rhapsody, gentlemen?”

The scene: The script called for a Guns N’ Roses song but Mike Meyers was not having it. He absolutely refused to do the scene unless it was his own chosen Queen song. Good call! We nearly missed out on the most epic scene in "Wayne’s World."

With four rocking dudes crammed into Garth’s old model Pacer, he slips in the cassette and the rocking out commences. Apparently, both Meyers and Dana Carvey injured their necks in that bit. And it's pretty much thanks to these two character’s that the movie was such a hit.

Django Unchained

*DiCaprio smears actual blood across Kerry Washington’s face*

The scene: Evil slaveholder Mr. Candie played by Leonardo DiCaprio slams his fist on the table unwittingly slicing it on a broken wine glass. Without pausing, DiCaprio continues with his lines, even after noticing his right hand is dripping.

The other actors have the perfect expression of shock and terror, especially when he uses Kerry Washington's face to wipe the blood from his hand, effectively demonstrating his status as a master. “Django Unchained” hit the box office hard when it came in 2012. It was another one of two-time Oscar-winning director Quentin Tarantino’s highly anticipated flicks.

The Terminator 2

“I need a vacation.”

The scene: Arnold Schwarzenegger has made himself super prosperous throwing out character-defining lines like, “I’ll be back.” In this scene, the indestructible T-800 Terminator is about to glitch out. “Terminator 2: Judgement Day” came out in 1991, and it far exceeded the expectations that were set by its prequel.

The movie went to places that “The Terminator,” simply put, never had the time to visit. In this particular scene, Wires dangling, the cyborg announces, “I need a vacation.” While the line was improvised, it was so iconic it was kept in the film, and with good reason!

The Godfather

“But let’s be frank here, you never wanted my friendship.”

The scene: The unforgettable opening act of "The Godfather" with Marlon Brando, who portrayed Don Vito Corleone, stroking a cat in his lap, seems like a work of cinematic genius, but, in fact, the cat was never part of the movie.

It seems like Richard Castellano wasn’t the only one who had some tricks up his film for the making of this film. In this scene, The stray feline happened to be wandering around the set, so the director of the movie, Francis Ford Coppola, handed it to Brando. After having to edit out the cat’s zealous purring, the rest, as they say, is movie history.

The Jazz Singer

“Wait a minute, wait a minute, you ain’t heard nothing yet.”

"The Jazz Singer" (1927) was a turning point in the industry as it marks the transition from silent films to talkies and it happened with an improvised line. When sound first came to cinema, Warner Bros. thought it was all about the music. But between numbers, star performer Al Jolson decided to add in a few lines.

In a chatty interlude, like many musical performances, he tells the audience, “Wait a minute, wait a minute, you ain’t heard nothing yet,” and strikes up the next tune. Movie audiences were floored and wanted more talking in movies.

The Breakfast Club

Allison: “Do you want to know what I did to get in? Nothing. I didn’t have anything better to do.”

The scene: This is one of the most famous scenes of all John Hughes’ repertoire of epic pop culture flicks. And, yes, Hughes allowed his young adult cast to improvise the classic group chat in the library.

The movie was filmed in sequence, so by the time they got to the emotionally demanding scene, they’d inhabited the characters enough to bring a lot of authenticity to the film. A lot of great lines came out of it in this 1985 cult classic.

Iron Man

“The truth is, I am Iron Man.”

The scene: At the end of Iron Man, Robert Downey Jr. improvises one of his most iconic lines. He is standing in front of a packed press conference and proceeds to disclose his superhero identity. At first, denying it, he reads a note handed to him, and states, “I am Iron Man.”

At the time of the first Iron Man, it wasn’t customary for actors to ad-lib in superhero comic movies. Downey got that ball rolling. This “Iron Man” that was released in 2008 was probably the one that’s been ranked the best out of the lot. Perhaps it was this improvisation that caused that. Who knows?

How the Grinch Stole Christmas

“If I can’t find a reindeer, I’ll make one instead.”

The scene: Jim Carrey is notorious for making it up as he goes along in the parts that he plays, and many directors give him full rein. In "How the Grinch Stole Christmas," the green and hairy Grinch is trying to talk Max into playing Rudolph.

Max bats the red nose of his own. “Brilliant! You reject your own nose because it represents the glitter of commercialism. Why didn’t I think of that?! Cut, cut, cut, the tape, moving on.” Carrey didn’t expect it to make the cut, but Howard loved it.

Fight Club

"You hit me in the ear! Ow. Christ. Why the ear?”

The scene: Brad Pitt is Tyler, a soap maker who is ditching a debilitating dose of boredom for something real in the world. He runs into Edward Norton outside a convenience store and talks him into hitting him.

Norton told Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon the director said to hit Pitt, so he did. Who knows what Pitt’s line was supposed to be, but he belted out, “Ow! Why the ear?” It stuck. Regardless of all the big names that were dropped in this film, this movie has been rated as one of the best films ever made by some of its critics.

Philadelphia Story

The hiccup.

The scene: The ex-husband C. K., who was played by Cary Grant, and Macaulay, who was portrayed by James Stewart, have a drink before the wedding. “The Philadelphia Story” is an absolute classic that was released in 1940. The movie was pretty well received at the time as it went on to win two Oscars- one for the best screenplay and the other one went to James Stewart for best leading role.

James Stewart almost made Cary Grant break in this scene when he improvised a little hiccup after drinking too much. Of course, in the original script, there was no hiccup at all! Who knew that improvising was also a part of classic Hollywood films? We didn't!

Mars Attacks!

“Mars Attacks!” was released in 1996 and starred some really big names like Pierce Brosnan, Jack Nicholson and Sarah Jessica Parker to name a few. Remember that high-pitched bark throughout the whole film? The Martians have an extremely bizarre way of communicating with each other.

The truth is that it was actually voice actor Frank Welker who thought of this high-pitched barking sound. Even though they have no dialogue in the actual script, the language comes to life in this terribly chilling voice that makes everything completely clear. Who would have thought such an iconic part of the film was improvised?

Clue

"Flames on the side of my face"

The scene: Mrs. White, who was portrayed by Madeline Kahn, admits to killing all of her annoying husbands. Possibly the most iconic line in the whole film. This classic comedy film starring the late Madeline Kahn was a black comedy that gave us some serious laughs.

While the script was great, Kahn's ad-libbed moment was the cherry on top. According to Michael McKean who played Mr. Green, there was only one line, but Khan went on a hilarious rant that she repeated about 3 or 4 times, "each time funnier than the last."

In Spider-Man: Homecoming

The "hug" scene. This little tender moment in 2017’s Spider-Man: Homecoming turned into a nice comedic bit. When actor Tom Holland (spiderman of course) tries to hug Robert Downey Junior, Robert's instincts to turn it into something else just took over.

When he said 'Oh, I'm not trying to hug you. I'm just trying to get the door,' the producers all cracked up on set. It was clear that would stay in the final cut. This particular Spiderman was a nice character reset compared to it’s to its other prequels. The film was a refreshingly toned-down take on Parker’s voyage as a superhero, making it one of Marvel's most enjoyable movies in years.

Bridesmaids

The poop scene.

The scene: After eating some sketchy meat at a Portuguese restaurant, the girls begin to suffer from a bad case of the runs. Lillian runs out into the street in her dress and loses control. Comedienne Maya Rudolph truly shines in this dress-fitting scene.

Running out to the street was not in the original script but Rudolph thought that this might make for a great comedic moment. She couldn't have been more spot on. In an interview with the "Huffington Post," cinematographer Robert Yeoman said that the scene was totally improvised. That was a genius move from Rudolph, as this was probably one of the funniest scenes from the movie.

Ghostbusters (1984)

"Does anybody wanna play Parcheesi?"

The scene: Louis walks into the party and accidentally upsets the monster dog. It's kind of sad that we don't get to see much of Rick Moranis anymore these days. He is funny, and on-the-spot quips always managed to get plenty of laughs, without even trying too hard.

That's why when director Ivan Reitman got him on board, he gave him free rein on many of the character's lines. According to an article in Rolling Stone, Reitman said that Rick Moranis contributed many of the ideas. "Rick just made all of it up as he was doing it."

Fast & Furious 6

"Better hide that big a** forehead."

The scene: Hobbs, played by Dwayne Johnson, arrives at the barbecue and tells Mia she better hide the baby oil. Looks like the Rock can do just about anything. The strongman tough-guy action hero seemingly has some comedy chops too.

When shooting the barbecue scene in 2013’s illustrious “Fast & Furious 6,” The Rock otherwise known as Dwayne Johnson's zinger causes Tej (Ludacris) to genuinely spit out his drink from the laughter. If you can make tough rappers like Ludacris do an accidental spit take, you've made it in comedy. Big ups to Johnson!

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

"I didn't know you could read." The scene: Draco Malfoy bullies Goyle. Besides Chris Rankin, who improvised a few lines in “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets,” Tom Felton also threw in some last-minute spice to the mix. Felton was perfect as Draco Malfoy, the little Slytherin meanie that everybody liked to despise.

The character had quite a few zingers, and not all of them were scripted. The actor would throw out a few stings of his own throughout filming and he nailed it with that nasty insult to poor Goyle. In the Chamber of Secrets, the kid's improvisational prowess really shines.

The 40-Year-Old Virgin

"Kelly Clarkson!"

The scene: Andy, played by Steve Carrell, gets his chest waxed before his date. Steve Carrell is a comedic mastermind! He is also one of the industry's most versatile comics out there. Can you believe that this entire scene was actually improvised?

Yup, director Judd Apatow actually set up the whole situation and put Steve Carrell through a real-life wax session, and just let the cameras roll. Carrel just yelled whatever came to his mind in that what might have been the most painful moment of his life. The actors were in hysterics when he blurted out 'Kelly Clarkson'!

Clueless

"I'm keeping it real."

The scene: Murray gets his head shaved at the house party. “Clueless” is a cult classic that came out in the mid-90s. It has been revered as a masterpiece, thanks to seamlessly portraying the daily life, dreams, hopes, and friendships of high school kids.

And we all know what a guilty pleasure it is to watch teen films from the 90s. Actor Donald Faison portrayed the character Murray, just another rich kid from Beverly Hills. This is why this line held so much comic weight. According to the actor, in order to add some authenticity to that moment, he had taken some inspiration from kids in his neighborhood. Smooth, Murray, smooth.

Lost in Translation

The Whisper.

The scene: The two Toyko wanderers part ways before leaning in for a kiss. In Sofia Coppola's original script of the film, the scene called for Scarlett Johansson and Bill Murry to just hold hands. But the actors decided to switch things up a bit and go in for the kiss. Johanson whispers a little something in Murray's ear.

The whisper got everyone on set very curious, but the actors decided to never tell what was said. To this day, nobody knows what was exchanged in that whisper. Interesting! Coppola went on to win an Oscar for her contributions to the film.

Frozen

"I've been impaled."

The scene: Olaf walks right into a pointy ice crystal. When “Frozen” was released in 2013, it pretty much took over the world of animations. The movie’s characters are authentic, and as opposed to most fairytales, the movie preaches girl power and sisterly love more than anything else.

Comedian Josh Gad who voiced the character Olaf had a lot of fun doing this part. It's a talking snowman in an animated film, so how can you resist? He never thought the line would make it in the final film. Guess he was wrong, it adds just the right amount of dark humor to this fantastical kids film.

Bridesmaids

"Uh-oh. Somebody found a souvenir."

The Scene: Megan accosts an air marshall and tries to find out if he is carrying a weapon on the plane. The man insists he is not an air marshall. “Bridesmaids” has got to be one of the funniest chick-flicks ever made!

It's always fun to act with someone you love. And that's exactly how it must have felt when Melissa McCarthy and her husband Ben Falcone acted together in this scene. These lines were all hilarious and improvised There were, of course, a few slightly more risque comments that couldn't make the cut, but we're sure glad this one did.

Wonder Woman

"Where I come from, I'm not considered average."

The scene: Steve, played by Chris Pine, and Diana, played by none other than Gal Gadot, team up to end World War I together. On the boat, Diana asks Steve (since she has never seen one) if he is an average man.

Surprisingly, for a big-stakes film, there was quite a bit of improvising in the film Wonder Woman. Gal Gadot and Chris Pine sure did have some fun shooting, especially on the boat scene, at least that's according to director Patty Jenkins. Who wouldn't have fun filming with Gal Gadot, she is not only stunning but funny too!

Devil Wears Prada

"I'm hearing this, and I want to hear this."

The scene: Emily, played by Emily Blunt, wants a quiet moment tries to shut Andy, played by Anne Hathaway, up. “The Devil Wears Prada” has so many one-liners that we can’t seem to get enough of, and here is another one that surely had audiences in stitches.

Also, It seems only fitting that the creators would name this Devil Wears Prada character after the actress herself. And it makes sense that Emily would throw herself into the role. That snarky moment was so her that anything the script could just never compare.

Goodfellas

"I'm funny how I mean funny like I'm a clown?"

The scene: The hyper-aggressive Tommy tells a story over dinner and drinks in a restaurant with his associates. The story makes Henry laugh and Tommy gets offended. “Goodfellas” has been rated as one of the best movies ever made, thanks to giving such a raw portrayal of mob life.

The now-famous Joe Pesci rant from the flick struck a chord with many. Probably because it was so true. Pesci channeled some real-life feelings in that line and they made its way all into that iconic scene. In the scene was improvising with his co-star Ray Liotta. The actors didn't know what to expect.

Anchorman

"I'm in a glass case of emotion."

The scene: Ron Burgandy has a breakdown over his lost dog. It’s possible that “Anchorman” is celebrated as one of Will Ferrel’s fan favorites. Leave it up to this funnyman to improvise.

He has been a comedian for decades and of course, made his make on the mother of all improv shows, Saturday Night Live. After that, he pursued his on-screen self, and boy, oh boy, has he been killing it since then. That line was just funny and completely off the cuff, it just flew out of Ferrel and everyone ended up loving it. It's nice one the most quoted lines in the movie.

Dazed and Confused

"Alright, alright, alright."

This scene: Wooderson casually cruises around looking for a joint. This embodied the Matthew McConaughey persona we all know and love today. The reason it seemed so authentic is that it because it truly was and came completely from the actor himself.

That line was never written in the original script but the actor just threw in his magical southern dust. “Dazed and Confused” earned its masterpiece status in part due to it perfectly capturing the vulnerabilities we all experience from time to time. It came out in the early 90s but flawlessly managed to portray and recreate 1970s Texas.

Titanic

"I'm the king of the world." The scene: Jack experiences being on a ship for the first time in his life. There were countless iconic moments in Titanic, from "draw me like one of you French girls" to the heartbreaking 'floating piece of wood scene' (which we all know was terribly unjust).

But of the many memorable moments, none can quite compare to Jack screaming "I'm the king of the world!" The director James Cameron loved Leo's little input that he decided to leave it in. We’re not sure if that had anything to do with the success of the film, but the movie did go on to win a mighty 11 Oscars.

RoboCop

"Give me my f***ing phone call!"

The scene: Clarence Boddicker is at the police station after being attacked by Robocop. The first “Robocop” movie was released in 1987. This classic flick boasts science fiction in an artful way and somehow manages to fuse the nature of human identity with artificial intelligence, transhumanism, and robotics.

It was such a hit that it got two sequels in 1990 and 1993. This line was kind of planned, but it was not officially written in the script. The director’s goal was to get the cast’s genuine reaction from blood being spat on the desk, and it worked!

They Live!

“I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass…and I’m all out of bubblegum.” The scene: Armed Nada, played by Roddy Piper, attempts to avoid the police by going into a bank. If “They Live!” is not director John Carpenter’s best movie, then its certainly his most ambitious.

The movie gives a brilliant exhibition of satire and is based on the 1963 short story “Eight O’clock in the Morning” by author Ray Nelson. Roddy Piper states that his direction that day was, “Roddy, you’ve got bullets on you, you’ve got a shotgun, you’ve got sunglasses, you go into a bank, you’re not gonna rob it, say something…action!” And chewing bubblegum is what he came up with!

When Harry Met Sally

"I would be proud to partake of your pecan pie."

The scene: Harry and Sally are on a seemingly platonic date when Harry throws flirtatious comments her way. There’s no denying that “When Harry Met Sally” is one of the best rom-coms out generation has ever seen.

Rob Reiner instructed Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan to make up their own lines in hopes of more authentic and real dialogue. Billy Crystal tells Meg Ryan that they will be speaking in goofy voices for the rest of the day, so he starts speaking nonsense. This exchange resulted in the iconic line that made Meg Ryan laugh so hard she almost broke character.

Animal House

"I'm a zit. Get it?"

The scene: John Blutarsky, who is played by John Belushi, sits down at a table in the cafeteria. As a joke, he fills his mouth with food and punches his cheeks, making it look like a zit spraying everywhere. You cannot have a movie about a Frat house if you don’t include young guys doing stupid stuff.

Luckily, John Belushi was able to pull off an unscripted action of something a frat dude would definitely do. His work paid off, given this became a famous cult film. The movie didn’t get a lot of raging recognition, but according to the site Rotten Tomatoes, the movie got a stellar 91% rating from audiences.

A Few Good Men

"You can't handle the truth!" The scene: Kaffee played by Tom Cruise, is questioning Jessup, played by Jack Nicholson, in a courtroom about the orders given to the Marine defendants. Shortly after Tom Cruise got his claim to fame in “Top Gun,” he starred in the drama-thriller “A Few Good Men,” alongside Jack Nicholson and Demi Moore.

The movie was released in 1992, but it was Nicholson who was responsible for this brilliant one-liner. This statement is constantly repeated in everyday arguments all the time. Can you believe that this was completely unscripted? Jack Nicholson made this line up on the spot, and ultimately created one of the most popular one-liners in history.

Apocalypse Now

The character: Colonel Kurtz, who was played by the late Marlon Brando, only appears within the last 20 minutes of the film. Marlon Brando and Francis Ford Coppola collaborated to make this an epic war film. And they managed to do so swimmingly as the movie gained not one but two mighty Oscars.

Some critics have even dubbed it the greatest movie to rise out of the Vietnam War experience. Coppola turned his script into a paper hat instead of actually reading the lines. So, Brando was forced to come up with a new dialogue. Luckily it all worked out swell in the end.

The Third Man

“In Italy for 30 years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder, bloodshed. They produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, five hundred years of democracy, and peace. And what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."

The scene: The main character Harry Lime is trying to convince an old friend of his to join his life of crime. Orson Welles, who plays Harry Lime, is an acting legend. He is able to come up with full monologues off the top of his head, and this is his most famous line throughout his acting career. It is a quote that many people still talk about today.

Dr. Strangelove

*Uncontrollable Nazi salute*

The scene: Dr. Strangelove addressed the president, and when he did, he did it with a Nazi salute. “Dr. Strangelove or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb” came out all the way back in the mid-60s. The movie was a hit at the time, as it got 4 Oscar nominations.

The saluting and Nazi behaviors he incorporated into the role of his character really made him stand out in this film. At first, the film started out as a vague concept, but it quickly began to gain more identity because of characters like his.

Forrest Gump

“My name is Forrest Gump. People call me Forrest Gump.”

The scene: Forrest Gump and Bubba meet for the first time. Tom Hanks carried this film with so many one-liners people use to this day. He plays this character perfectly and improvises his lines to support his role.

When he introduces himself to Bubba, he delivers this unscripted line that perfectly matches the attributes of Forrest Gump. The movie was such a hit when it was released in 1994 that it managed to score a whopping six Oscars, not to mention the 74 nominations it received on top of that. Now that’s impressive!

The Shining

"Here's Johnny!"

The scene: Jack Torrance has gone insane, so he attempts to break into the bathroom while Wendy is in the shower. He presses his face between the crack of the door while yelling at Wendy. More than 40 years since its release, the movie “The Shining” is still considered as one of the most outstanding horror flicks ever made.

This became one of the most famous lines in a horror film, and in cinema history, for that matter. In another film directed by Kubrick, he instructs his actors to improvise so they can come up with the most genuine lines, and it definitely worked this time.

Knocked Up

“If any of us get laid tonight, it’s because of Eric Bana and ‘Munich.’”

The scene: The characters are chatting and mingling at the bar. “Knocked Up” came out in the late aughts and features some of Hollywood’s most prominent stars like Seth Rogan, Katherine Heigl, Paul Rudd, and Leslie Mann.

This film was written with the knowledge that most of the lines would be improvised anyway. Harold Ramis said, “the script is what we have if we can’t think of anything better.” And this comedy gem definitely didn’t need the script too much. In fact, most of this movie comes from the actors improvising.

Taxi Driver

"You talkin' to me?" The scene: The main character, Travis Bickle, who is played by the critically acclaimed actor Robert De Niro, is talking to himself in the mirror. “Taxi Driver” came out in 1976 and to this day gets praised for being one of the best movies ever made.

This line is one of the most iconic lines in cinematic history, and it is all thanks to Robert De Niro. To this day, people utter this phrase in all different types of scenarios. The director’s instructions for this scene were loose and minimal, so they let De Niro take the reigns on this one, and he definitely succeeded!

Young Frankenstein

"What hump?"

The scene: Dr. Frankenstein, who was played by Gene Wilder, arrives at the Transylvania Station where he meets Igor for the first time. Frankenstein says “I don’t mean to embarrass you, but I’m a rather brilliant surgeon. Perhaps I could help you with that hump.”

Marty Feldman, who played Igor in the movie, very obviously has a hump that Dr. Frankenstein offers to fix. His straight-faced response referring to not having any hump on him led to one of the best satirical (and unscripted) lines in the film. The movie had a strong cast and is still revered as one of the best comedies ever made, (even after all these years).

A Clockwork Orange

"I'm siiiiinging in the rain..." The scene: Alex and the rest of the crew break into a couple’s home and attack them. During the attack, Alex is singing and performing while kicking to the beat for emphasis. Another film by Kubrick, this film is filled with improvised lines and actions.

They could not seem to get this scene right, so they just told the cast to improvise. One of the characters performed the song “Singing in the Rain” while using one of the victims as a percussion instrument, hoping to bring some comedy to the scene. Thankfully, it worked! And it made for a very unforgettable scene filled with darkness and madness at the same time.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

"What, exactly, is the function of a rubber duck?"

The scene: Harry Potter and Arthur Weasley meet for the first time. Weasley asks Harry all about the mysteries of muggles. “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets” is the second film to come out of the decade-long “Harry Potter" franchise.

Mark Williams performs the role of Arthur Weasley amazingly because he completely immersed himself into the character. For this reason, he was able to come up with the best one-liners (that only a Weasley would say) on the spot. He leans over to Harry with an expressionless face, seriously asking about the rubber duck’s function.

Aliens

"Game over, man! Game over."

The scene: After their ship crashes, Hudson, who is played by Bill Paxton, is sobbing and going off about the doom of the situation. The two-time Oscar-winning “Aliens” was a hit when it came out in 1986, and it’s all thanks to this movie that Sigourney Weaver got her reason for recognition in the industry.

Even though Bill Paxton claims he is not good at improvising on the spot, he clearly is mistaken. A good portion of his lines throughout the film were improvised and ad-libbed, and it led to incredibly iconic moments throughout the film.

Dumb and Dumber

"Mock... Yeah! Ing... Yeah! Bird... Yeah!"

The scene: Harry and Lloyd are on a road trip to Aspen. They pick up a hitchhiker who instantly regrets getting a ride from these fools. “Dumb and Dumber” is a glorious mix of moronic gags that includes a large amount of absurdity that is deeply intelligent at its center.

These hilarious actors, Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels, brilliantly play two dumb guys in this iconic comedy film. They actually improvised 15% of the script for the film, including this popular scene where Lloyd is being quite annoying. The 1994 movie was such a box office hit that in 2014, the film got a sequel with “Dumb and Dumber To.”

The Fugitive

"I don't care."

The scene: Dr. Richard Kimble, who has escaped from prison, is cornered by US Deputy Samuel Gerard. “The Fugitive” is a cult classic from the early 90s featuring some big names in the industry.

Tommy Lee Jones gives an amazing unscripted performance that led this film to receive an Oscar. This action thriller is full of improvised lines, but this one is the most iconic. His original line was “that isn’t my problem,” but he thought “I don’t care” fit the character and situation much better. He trusted his gut, and he succeeded in doing so.

Ghostbusters

"OK, who brought the dog?"

The scene: Louis hosts a party at his apartment when he invites a couple to talk to them about their financial affairs. Then, he accidentally throws his coat on a monster dog in his bedroom. In this classic 1984 “Ghostbusters” film, Rick Moranis played little Louis, the nerdy accountant.

The movie featured some big names like Bill Murray (once again), Harold Ramis, and Sigourney Weaver. The director said there was a whole script for this film, but they just let Rick improvise the entire thing because of how funny his lines were. He even got his name mentioned on the writing credits.

The Warriors

"Warriors, come out to plaaa-aaaay!"

The scene: Luther taunts and mocks the players from the comfort of his car. “The Warriors” came out in 1979 and has been celebrated for brilliantly showcasing the peculiarity of street gang warfare.

Even though this movie did not do as well in the box office as they hoped, nobody will ever forget about David Patrick Kelly’s iconic performance in the car! And the lines were completely unscripted! It may not have done so well in terms of awards and recognition, but it did get raging reviews from audiences, as it got an 88% audience review on the Rotten Tomatoes website.

Raiders Of The Lost Ark

*BANG!*

The scene: Indie confronts a man in black with a sword. After the man shows Indie his sword, he pulls out his gun and shoots him once. The four-time Oscar-winning “Raiders of the Lost Ark” also featured Harrison Ford as Indie.

In this particular scene, Ford was only able to work for a few minutes at a time, so they had to film the scene in one single cut. Ford revealed, “The poor guy was a wonderful British stuntman who had practiced his sword skills for months in order to do this job, and was quite surprised by the idea that we would dispatch him in 5 minutes!”

Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade

"She talks in her sleep."

The scene: Elsa, played by Alison Doody, has just betrayed Indie, who was played by none other than Harrison Ford. Indie and his father, Professor Henry Jones, are being held captive by the Nazis. The Oscar-winning “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade” came out in 1989.

This line was completely made up on the spot, and the directors loved it so much that it made it to the final cut. Sean Connery, who portrayed the main character’s father, gave a brilliant improvisation that caused them to cut the scene because everyone broke out in laughter.

Blazing Saddles

"You know... morons."

The scene: The Waco Kid is comforting Bart after the townspeople told him how much they hate him. “Blazing Saddles” was released almost 5 decades ago and is still thought of as one of the best comedies ever made.

The movie is a classic comedy with spoofy and bawdy language and a lot of inappropriate innuendo. And once more, Gene Wilder is back again on this list with another famous unscripted one-liner. After saying this, he adds, “You’ve got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West.”

Ferris Bueller’s Day Off

"Anyone? Anyone?"

The scene: A boring economics teacher is calling students' names and no one is responding or acknowledging him. “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” is the main reason that Matthew Broderick and Alan Ruck got the stardom status that both actors carry today.

In perhaps what is one of the greatest comedy films of all time, Ben Stein was able to take a boring character into a completely hilarious role that created an incredibly famous scene. He improvised the scene to make it more interesting, and he received a round of applause by the crew on set after the performance. Not bad for a supporting role!

The Usual Suspects

"In English, please."

The scene: The suspects line up at the police department. They all have a line they are instructed to say. “The Usual Suspects” is a zany flick that came out in 1995, featuring some big names like Kevin Spacey and Kevin Pollak.

The movie gained two Oscars – One for Spacey and one for the writer of the movie. There really was not much direction when filming this scene. The cast was told to do what they wanted, and they would go from there. And it’s a good thing it happened! This scene is so legendary because of its comedy between the suspects and the off-camera cop.

Jaws

"You're gonna need a bigger boat."

The scene: Martin Brody and Quint are standing on the boat, trying to catch a large shark. They notice that the shark is way larger than they imagined. “Jaws” is a realistically terrifying thriller that came out almost 5 decades ago.

This line was actually an inside joke within the cast and production crew, so when Roy uttered this line in the scene (which was completely unscripted), the directors thought it was way too funny not to include. It just fit the scene so perfectly at the time that they couldn’t not include it in the final cut of the film.

Shaun Of The Dead

"Cockocidal maniac."

The scene: Ed and Shaun are having a drink. Ed is trying to get Shaun to forget about his troubles. “Shaun of the Dead” was an absolute riot when it came out in 2004. It somehow managed to blend horror and comedy into one big, beautiful British mix.

And it doesn’t really matter how many times you have watched it - it just never gets old. Nick Frost made up his whole backstory for this scene, and it paid off! No one can ignore how hilarious his lines were, and that is why they are still remembered to this day.

Being John Malkovich

"Hey, Malkovich! Think fast!"

The scene: John has just had a pretty angry confrontation with Craig Schwartz on the side of the road. “Being John Malkovich” was released just before the turn of the century. The movie was renowned for satirically capturing the real John Malkovich himself.

When filming, a drunk cast member throws a can at Malkovich’s head, which inspired this unscripted line. This was an extra that had no lines. But, instead of being kicked off, the directors thought it was so funny that they kept it in the final cut and gave them a pay raise.

Blade Runner

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die." The scene: Roy Batty saved Rick Deckard’s life, but then ultimately caused his own death. He gives his last words in the rain about to die.

Rutger Hauer improvised lines about his short life that were incredibly meaningful and downright poetic. It is almost difficult to believe he came up with it on the spot, but he did. He didn’t believe the original script correlated to his character, so he made the lines up, surprising everyone on set.

Caddyshack

"What an incredible Cinderella story!" The scene: The main character Carl Speckler (who was played by Bill Murray) is ‘lopping the heads off bedded tulips’ when he practices his golf swing. “Caddyshack” was first released in the early 80s and featured some big names like Rodney Dangerfield, Chevy Chase and of course the famed Bill Murray.

One of the best comedy actors in film history, Murray, is known for his one-liners. In this scene, he was so focused on beheading the flowers that it made for one of the funniest moments in cinema history. The Cinderella reference he makes has basically become a popular saying until this day, thanks to Murray's brilliant improvisation.

Midnight Cowboy

"I'm walking here!”

The scene: As Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voight are walking through the street, a cab accidentally drives through the scene that they are filming. They filmed this part of the movie outdoors in the street.

This area was closed off for filming during the day, but the taxi driver was unaware of this and drove in the area anyway. Hoffman took this unpredictable event as an opportunity to deliver one of the best one-liners in cinema history. “Midnight Cowboy” was released in 1969. Despite having been released more than 50 years ago, the film is still highly revered today.

Star Trek

"All I've got left is my bones."

The scene: Kirk, who was played by Chris Pine, and Bones, who was played by Karl Urban, meet for the first time when they sit by one another on a spaceship. Bones is telling Kirk how much he despises outer space.

After ranting about how dangerous and terrifying outer space truly is, Karl Urban delivers this final line that sold the scene. It is one of the most well-regarded films of all time, and this scene specifically was carried by Bones’ character.- This came from the Oscar-winning “Star Trek” film that was released in 2009.

Full Metal Jacket

“Full Metal Jacket” succeeded as an anti-war movie when so many failed, thanks to it brilliantly showcasing the contradictions of military service and war. The director Stanley Kubrick, added a whole new character to the film after watching an impressive improvisation home video of him insulting marines.

R. Lee Ermey got cast in this film because of his impressive performance. The director, Stanley Kubrick, liked his rendition so much that he only wrote about 50% of the lines for this character. He wanted Ermey to improv the rest as the movie was being filmed, which worked in this film’s favor.

Deliverance

"Squeal like a pig."

The scene: A group of hillbillies is attacking Bobby who was played by Ned Beatty. “Deliverance” was released in 1972. It was intense, and it was suspenseful, and really managed to keep viewers on the edge of their seats thanks to all the tension-filled scenes.

This gory, disturbing scene was reconfigured to fit both cinema and television showings. The dialogue was changed, so they would not have to film two versions of the same scene for the film. Whoever came up with the new line is unknown, but regardless of who did it, it made for an incredible scene.

The Silence Of The Lambs

"f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-v-v-v-s-s-s!"

The scene: Clarice Starling and frightening Hannibal Lecter are talking through the wall of the prison cell. He is describing in detail how he ate a human liver with "fava beans and a nice Chianti."

Anthony Hopkins plays a brilliant psychiatrist who also happens to be a complete psychopath who eats human flesh. In this eerie scene, as well as in the rest of the film, his goal was to be as spine-chilling as possible, which he definitely succeeded in doing. When filming this scene, he decided to include the sucking of flesh, which resembled eating the human liver, by making noises with his teeth and lips that is iconic to this film.

Saving Private Ryan

"Picture a girl who took a nosedive from the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down." The scene: Captain Miller and Private Ryan reminisce about their lives. As if the script wasn’t enough, Damon takes it a step further and adds a new layer of depth.

He tells a made-up story about when he saw his brother kissing a girl. Luckily, it added a lot to his character, and it remains one of the most remembered scenes in this film. To this day, the movie is still revered as one of the best depictions of the horrors of war.

Good Will Hunting

"Son of a gun. He stole my line."

The scene: Will’s therapist is reading a letter written to him by Will. Robin Williams has delivered some amazing performances in his career, but this is one of his best - and it was completely unscripted! Also, this wasn’t the only line that he made up for this film.

He showed off his impressive improvisation abilities several times throughout this iconic movie. The movie went on to win a hefty two Oscars, which went to the main protagonists Matt Damon and Robin Williams, not to mention the additional seven Oscar-nominations that it received.

The Dark Knight

*Clap, clap, clap…*

The scene: Everyone claps for Gordon’s promotion. The joker joins in with a slow clap that carries on after everyone else stops applauding. “The Dark Knight” was released in 2008 and included some big names like Christian Bale and, of course, the late Heath Ledger.

As one of the most iconic bad guys in cinema history, the Joker has been played by numerous actors. But, Heath Ledger arguably did it best because of how immersed he was in his character, which allowed him to improvise a lot of his lines and actions. His extended clapping in this scene was a definite show-stopper.

This Is Spinal Tap

Believe it or not, this film is actually mostly unscripted. That’s probably what makes this movie so unique, as it’s very rare that directors and movie makers give that much writing power to the actors. This movie is about a fictional 80s hair band starring in their very own spoof film.

Director Rob Reiner aimed to make this film as a relatable and hilarious look at the rock’n’roll lifestyle, so most of the script was left up to actors. It is even shown in the credits, as all of the actors are listed in the writer’s section, which includes Rob Reiner, Michael McKean, and Christopher Guest, who all also starred as the main characters of the movie.

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

"AAAAARRRRGGGGHHH!!"

The scene: Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli are on the trails of hobbits. They come to a point where they think they are dead. Aragorn yells in frustration and kicks a helmet. Any “Lord of the Rings” movie will forever go down in history as one of the best movies ever made in the 21st century.

In this particular scene, both the yelling and kicking of the helmet were improvised. In fact, Viggo Mortensen accidentally broke his toe when filming the scene. But hey, it made for one of the most popular scenes in cinema history, so perhaps it was worth it.

Zoolander

"Why male models?"

The scene: JP Prewitt is explaining to Derek and Matilda the purpose of male models. “Zoolander” is a comedy classic from the early aughts. Some have rated it as one of the most innovative flicks from this time period. Thanks to the movie exhibiting celebrity culture and the fashion world, it will always be remembered.

After David Duchovny’s lengthy explanation, Ben Stiller forgot his line. But, instead of asking for the line, he simply repeated the line from before when he first asked David the question that started the monologue. This was absolutely hilarious, and the directors decided to keep it in instead of the original line.

Pretty Woman

*SNAP!*

The scene: Wealthy businessman, Edward, presents a beautiful necklace to his love interest, Vivian, that completes her outfit for the opera. “Pretty Woman” was so good that some critics have rated it as one of the best revolutionary rom-coms that they've ever seen.

In this classic movie, Julia Roberts and Richard Gere play an unlikely, but a fairytale-like couple. In this scene, when she reaches for the necklace, he jokingly and suddenly snaps the box closed, which led to one of the most recognizable laughs in film history. This unscripted moment was completely influenced by Julia and Richard’s off-screen chemistry.

The Devil Wears Prada

"Everybody wants to be us."

The scene: Miranda and Andy are conversing in a car in Paris. “The Devil Wears Prada” from 2006 was great for so many reasons. It gave great performances by Anne Hathaway and of course, Meryl Streep, showcased some interesting fashion choices all while exposing the dark side of the fashion magazine industry.

It pretty much became an instant classic after being released. The brilliant Meryl Streep, who plays a famous fashion magazine editor, only changes ‘me’ to ‘us’ in the scripted version of this line, and it changed the dynamic of the whole ending of the movie.

Casablanca

"Here's looking at you. kid."

The scene: Rick and Ilsa say goodbye before she gets on a plane with Victor. The three-time Oscar-winning movie "Casablanca" has to be one of the most quoted and well-known films out there. But, did you know that some of the best lines in this movie were unscripted?

There really was not much direction when filming this scene. The cast was told to do what they wanted, and they would go from there. And it’s a good thing this happened! This scene is a legendary scene because of its comedy between the actors and the off-camera chemistry.

Tootsie

"I wish I had a theater that was only open when it rained."

The scene: One of the main characters, Jeff Slater (played by Bill Murray), goes on a rant while drunk at a party. Everybody know that Bill Murray has gone places in the Hollywood scene.

Again, we are bringing up comedy legend Bill Murray himself. By the looks of it, he is truly the king of improvised one-liners. Even though he is a side character in this film, he is no doubt the funniest character that the film boasted. Possibly In fact, Murray’s unscripted comedic phrases led this movie to win an Oscar!

Ghost

"Molly, you in trouble, girl."

The scene: Oda Mae (played by Whoopi Goldberg) finds Molly (played by Demi Moore), and repeats to Molly what Sam (played by Patrick Swayze) said word for word, per Sam’s request.

Whoopi Goldberg is one of the most beloved actresses in Hollywood - and for good reason! Her refined and talented acting skills shine through all of her work, including this popular film where she improvises a line that went on to be very quotable among viewers. It came as no surprise when Goldberg got her first and foremost Oscar win with this iconic flick.

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

*Fall, roll, flourish!*

The scene: This line is delivered when we first see Willy Wonka in the film. He is greeting the kids that won the golden tickets to his chocolate factory. When he makes his way to the gate, he falls forward and rolls on the red carpet.

Gene Wilder brilliantly performs this role and actually made up many defining moments on the spot while filming, including this iconic entrance. He immersed himself into his character, which ultimately made this film so well-received. In the end, the 1971 film got an Oscar nomination and a few other awards and nominations behind its name.

The Empire Strikes Back

"I know."

The scene: Darth Vader is about to split up Han and Leia. Before he does, they lean in for a meaningful kiss. After this, Leia says she loves Han. This is one of the most well-regarded Star Wars movies in the entire series. Some say it’s been rated the best since it’s the darkest one of the series.

Others say it’s due to the fact that there’s never a dull moment. It was the second movie released of the lot in 1980. Even with the success of the new movies, we will never forget the impact the classics had on film lovers around the world. The love story between Han and Leia captured all of our hearts.

The Godfather

"Leave the gun, take the cannoli."

The scene: Two men have been sent to kill somebody after they attempt to overpower their boss. They leave once the deed is done. The three-time Oscar- winning “The Godfather” film is still considered a classic, even after all these years.

The movie was released in the early 70s but is still reminisced about today. Richard Castellano, who played Peter Clemenza in this film, is the guy who could not resist saying this unforgettable line. But, it’s a good thing he did, because it curated one of the most popular quotes from one of the most popular films of all time.

Weird Science (1985)

“How about a nice greasy pork sandwich served in a dirty ashtray?”

The scene: Chet finds out his little brother and his friend are drunk. In the 1985 John Hughes sci-fi film "Weird Science," scientists use computers to create a stunning woman.

But, unfortunately, the two high school geeks have a nemesis – Chet (Bill Paxton), Wyatt’s older brother. So, in one scene where Chet finds the kids trashed and one of them feeling queasy from the drinking, he says, “How about a nice greasy pork sandwich served in a dirty ashtray?” Paxton revealed that his father used to say this to him and his brother when they’d been drinking too much.

Groundhog Day

“Ned Ryerson! I have missed you.”

The scene: Phil encounters Ned on the street and is so happy to see him that he hugs him indefinitely. In one of the movie scenes, completely unannounced, Murray decides to say, “Ned Ryerson! I have missed you,” and hugs him for a very long time.

He continues to say, “I don’t know where you’re headed. Can you call in sick?” Tobolowsky was thrown entirely off and looked awkward; he got away as quickly as possible. When the scene was over and the director re-watched it, he decided to leave it since Murray had carried it out so well.

Edward Scissorhands

“He didn’t wake up.”

The scene: Peg asks Edward where his father is. Tim Burton's classic was "Edward Scissorhands" being anyone but Johnny Depp. For example, in the scene where Peg (Diane Wiest) asks Ed where his father is, he innocently replies, “He didn’t wake up.”

The original script read, “He died,” but Depp thought this made Edward look too guilty because people would assume he murdered his dad by mistake. Also, Depp took out almost 90% of Edward’s dialogue because he thought it made the character appear shyer and more innocent. Or maybe Depp just didn’t want to memorize that many lines.

Mrs. Doubtfire

“Do you want some cream?”

The scene: Mrs. Doubtfire’s face is dripping with cream that falls into a social worker’s coffee. "Mrs. Doubtfire" will forever remain in our memories as one of the funniest, most original movies ever, (thanks in part to Robin Williams). It’s packed with hilarious scenes throughout.

For example, when the cream starts dripping into the social worker’s cup of tea, Mrs. Doubtfire says, “Do you want some cream?” This line was utterly improvised because the set lights caused the actual melting of the cream! This movie is accurate and will always be a household name across the United States.

Avengers: Infinity War

“I’ve noticed you’ve copied my beard.”

The scene: Thor and Captain America have a friendly conversation during the Wakanda fight scene. During the epic Wakanda fight scene in "Avengers: Infinity War," there’s a moment when Captain America (Chris Evans) and Thor (Chris Hemsworth) are having some funny light-hearted banter, and Thor suddenly says, “I’ve noticed you’ve copied my beard.”

This line was completely improvised and made audiences laugh, considering their beards were basically the same at the time. Directors Anthony and Joe Russo commended Hemsworth for the ad-lib, saying it added a perfect element to that scene’s short conversation.

Broken Arrow

“Yeah. Ain’t it cool?”

The scene: Riley Hale tells Vic Deakins he’s out of his mind for stealing a nuclear warhead. In the 1996 “Broken Arrow” movie, Travolta plays Major Vic Deakins, a renegade soldier who steals a nuclear warhead, and Captain Riley Hale (Christian Slater) has to find a way to stop him.

One of the best scenes in the movie is when Hale tells Deakins, “you’re out of your mind,” and then Travolta, completely improvised, answers, “yeah. Ain’t it cool?” Completely unhinged, absolutely perfect! Woo loved it so much that he used it in the next film he starred in the following year - "Face/Off."

A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors

“Welcome to prime time, b**ch!”

The scene: Freddy Krueger pops out a TV and kills a kid with it. Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund) became a symbol of evil, and the fact that he’s such a terrific actor made it all that much scarier.

In 1987’s "A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors," Freddy improvised one of the best lines in the movie, saying, “Welcome to prime time, b**ch!” while he rips out a TV set and kills one of the characters with it. You have to admit, apart from the whole being a terrifying horror film, that line is quite hilarious.

When Harry Met Sally

“I’ll have what she’s having.”

The scene: Sally screams out as if she were having a climax while eating with Harry at dinner. The “When Harry Met Sally” movie produced many famous lines that are still quoted to this day.

Everybody remembers that infamous scream that Sally, played by Meg Ryan, busts out, making every single dinner turn their head in awe, with an old lady even saying to the waiter, “I’ll have what she’s having.” You’d think that was definitely in the script, but no! It was completely improvised at the suggestion of Billy Crystal, and it worked like a charm.

His Girl Friday

“The last man who said that to me was Archie Leach.”

The scene: The Mayor tells Walter Burns that he’s through. “His Girl Friday” is a classic from all the way back in the 30s.

When murderer Earl Williams (played by John Qualen) is found at the desk, the Mayor says to Walter Burns (played by Cary Grant) that “whistling in the dark isn’t going to help him this time. You’re through.” Walter replies, “Listen, the last man that said that to me was Archie Leach just a wee before he cut his throat.” Grant completely improvised this line, which was particularly funny since Archie Leach was Cary Grant’s birth name!

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2

“Well, I must say I’d hoped for better.”

The scene: Voldemort’s speech announcing Harry Potter is dead. One of the most famous lines is when Voldemort announces Harry Potter’s death. That speech was rehearsed by Ralph Fiennes many times, but the actor never said it in the same way twice.

The cast and crew were always waiting excitedly for the definitive line. Finally, as Voldemort declares that whoever doesn’t join him will die, the only person to step forward is Neville Longbottom, and so Voldemort cruelly says, “Well, I must say I’d hoped for better.” Of course, apart from the actual scene, everybody on set laughed.

Mean Girls

“I want my pink shirt back!”

The scene: Damian and Janis yell at Cady from the car. Mean Girls is the ultimate teenage comedy flick with a great script, which isn’t surprising since Tina Fey wrote it about it.

But, of course, you wouldn’t e One of these improvisations was Damian’s yelling out, “I want my pink shirt back!” to Cady (Lindsay Lohan), as he’s driving around with Janis (Lizzy Caplan), angry about not getting invited to Cady’s party. Damian, played by Daniel Franzese, said he was given free rein when improvising. So, he decided to scream out the shirt line twice!

Julie and Julia

“And you are so good at it. Look at you!”

The scene: Julia Childs and her husband are eating at a restaurant. That improvised line gave them both a good laugh! In this scene, Paul and Julia are sitting at a restaurant as they talk about their move to Paris since Paul is a diplomat and gets relocated often.

When Julia (played by Meryl Streep) asks her husband what she’ll do in Paris, Tucci asks, “What is it that you like to do?” and Julia immediately says, “Eat.” However, the following line is completely off-script, as Tucci replies, “And you are so good at it. Look at you!”

How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days

“You can’t watch Meg Ryan for two hours and not be thinking about another girl.”

The scene: Andie starts going off on Benjamin in the middle of a movie theater. "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" was incredibly hilarious, as Andie Anderson (Kate Hudson) goes out of her way to get on Benjamin’s (Matthew McConaughey) nerves and get rid of him.

At some point, a loud and enraged Hudson exclaims, “You can’t watch Meg Ryan for two hours and not be thinking about another girl!” This line was improvised! Hudson was usually encouraged by director Donald Petrie to ad-lib and catch Matt by surprise. And she did so brilliantly with this line.

The Princess Bride

“Have fun storming the castle!”

The scene: Westley and his friends run off to Humperdinck’s castle, and Miracle Max says goodbye. What a classic from the late 80s! Rob Reiner’s "The Princess Bride" is a classic fairytale with intelligent, dark humor, a brilliant script, and a fantastic cast.

This includes the famous scene where Miracle Max and his wife, played by Carol Kane, are waving goodbye to Westley and his friends as they run off to Humperdinck’s castle. Crystal yells, “Have fun storming the castle!” which was just one of the hundreds of lines that would make the movie hilarious and super fun to watch.

The Princess Diaries

“Not you. I don’t even know you.”

The scene: Lilly is running down the street, trying to get Mia’s attention. In the scene where Lilly (Heather Matarazzo) is running down the street trying to get to her friend Mia (Anne Hathaway), she tries screaming out so Mia slows down.

But instead, some other guy turns around. To this, Matarazzo ad-libbed the funny comeback, “Not you, I don’t even know you.” As the actress said in a later interview, this was apparently the producer's suggestion, which, like the rest of the crew, just felt like a very close group of friends working together.

Clueless

"I'm totally buggin' myself."

The scene: Josh is talking to Murray and Travis at a wedding while eating cake. At the end of the film, Josh, Murray, and Travis are all sitting together with their respective girlfriends at a wedding.

When suddenly, Josh, as he's shoving a huge piece of cake in his mouth, says, "I’m buggin’ myself,” in response to his friends saying they were bugging out because their girls were already planning their weddings. The line was improvised entirely by Rudd and had the other guys laughing uncontrollably because of how he said it. It was all real!

Die Hard

“Yippee-ki-yay, mother***!”

The scene: John McClane talks to villain Hans Gruber on the radio. In this scene, Gruber asks if he's just an American that has seen too many cowboy movies, to which McClane replies, "Yippee-ki-yay, mother****!" As it turns out, that line was written differently in the script.

The screenwriter had written "Yippee-ki-yay, a***hole," but Willis changed it during the scene to amuse the film crew. Neither thought the line would make it into the movie, considering this was 1988, and such open profanity in films wasn't easy to get past movie studios. Nevertheless, this scene became one of cinema history's most famous lines.

Avengers: Infinity War

"I don't want to go."

The scene: Peter Parker is in the arms of Tony Stark and tells him he is afraid to stay on Earth. This movie boasts A-list actors, a solid script, and mind-blowing special effects, and it became one of MCU's most beloved Avengers films.

That heartbreaking scene where Peter Parker (Tom Holland) says to Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), "I don't want to go," is cinematic magic. But that wasn't in the script! Tom Holland was only told to act like he didn't want to stay on Earth, but he decided to throw in that line, and it couldn't have turned out better.

Reservoir Dogs

"You hear that?"

The scene: Mr. Blonde is dancing and cuts off the policeman's ear. Reservoir Dogs is a 1992 classic, and with so many iconic scenes, it's hard to pick a favorite. One of those is the scene where Mr. Blonde (Michael Madsen) starts dancing to "Stuck in the Middle with You," the famous Steelers song that became the flag song of the film.

During the scene, he suddenly cuts off the cop's ear, holds it up, and says, "You hear that?" In the original script, the scene described Madsen dancing and then setting the cop on fire after cutting the ear, but Madsen thought it would be much funnier to add that ironic little line in between, and Tarantino loved it.

The Wolf of Wall Street

The humming scene at lunch.

The scene: Jordan Belfort goes to lunch with his new boss on Wall Street. In the scene where Jordan Belfort, played by legendary Leonardo Dicaprio, and Mark Hana (Matthew McConaughey), goes out to lunch at a fancy restaurant on Wall Street is iconic.

As Hana explains the ropes of the world of stocks to his new employee Jordan, he starts humming lowly and beating his chest. The humming gets louder, and they're both doing this very loud sort of tribal ritual in the middle of the restaurant. Did you know that this scene was unplanned? It was a McConaughey ritual to psych himself up and ease the stress, and Leo suggested he include it in the background. And it was a brilliant idea.
