25 Greatest Unscripted Scenes in Films
FOR MORE LISTS: mewlists.com 25 Great Scenes in Film that actually were not scripted, but rather, improvised. Please keep the captions on, as I will explain the improvisation.
Video Rating: 4 / 5
It lacks the scene from Indiana Jones, when Ford shoots the guy with swords.
How many times can this get posted?
What about the famous Indiana Jones „sword fight“ scene?
The font kinda ruined it:P
how many movies really have „unscripted scenes“? Seems like every movie would have every scene scripted.
How about the end of The Graduate? The camera was supposed to stop rolling while they were still laughing. The way the smiles fade and they just sit there looking confused as to the future changes the meaning of the entire film.
@harrypmay haha the look on his face is priceless….like he had an appifianny
@marionetemanJ Actually, that’s not true.
@pabbananna Empire strikes back
@disengagejam what does esb stand for?
@disengagejam Actually, Harrison Ford said the line randomly after Kershner told him to just make something up.
heard in a Charlie Rose interview with JJ Abrams that Abrams got to see Spielberg’s shooting script for Jaws, and the „you’re gonna need a bigger boat“ was scrawled in the margin next to paragraphs of scratched out material
IMAGINE seeing that genius dialogue maneuver
Hopkins threw in that last noise because he thought it would look good on the gag reel.
5:56 golden!
Wow, Saving Private Ryan scene improvised? Pretty clever and funny.
@harrypmay It’s easily one of my favorite lines. To know that the end is near and inevitable and to so much want to live and not be able to. Priceless. The improv by R. Lee Ermey is also very good, but he had been an actual drill instructor, so that came natural to him. I read he got that job after he had himself filmed ranting to some actual soldiers while being pelted with oranges and not even stuttering or losing his train of thought.
GAME OVER, MAN, GAME OVER!
@NoBullet — no shit sherlock (Lawrence Kasden wrote it) … but Lucas did have an active role in what was filmed as they were essentially ‘his movies’
I didn’t know the Joker scene was unscripted! I was pretty convinced that he had actually rehearsed to stop and turn around.
@disengagejam Lucas didnt write the screenplay. Fuck your research.
almost all these scenes were scripted, in fact Coppola said himself that he added the line „take the cannoli“ to the script that day himself.
A Knight’s Tale. after winning the sword fight he is announced with a very epic speech. however because it was filmed in a country where English was not a common language, they did not know to cheer at the end. „Yeah!!“ is then yelled and everyone started cheering. luckily the cameras were in the correct placement to catch this.
@disengagejam The main reason the original trilogy was so good was due to lucas’ wife and best friend would tell him that all the stuff he intended to do, actually sucked.
What about when Aragorn broke his toe?
Was the midnight cowboy taxi scene really not scripted? that guy just drove through and really almost hit dustin hoffman? I find that hard to believe lol
