25 Great Scenes in Film that actually were not scripted, but rather, improvised. Please keep the captions on, as I will explain the improvisation.

[@Astrobrant2]

"...and not even have the God-damned common courtesy to give him a reach-around." If that was unscripted, a lot of credit has to be given to the guys for being able to keep straight faces.

[@JulietsMan]

it was scripted....decade upon decade in the military by numerous drill instructors and expanded upon in various ways depending on the training situation

[@ArnellaMaturin]

I've never seen it before and laughed so hard - R Lee Ermey is so great!

[@Astrobrant2]

Boss Cheese Emery wasn't in charge, but remaining in character, he might have just kept going with the scene and dished it out to the amused trainee. "What's so God-damned funny, you little nugget of rabbit shit?..." etc.

[@jasonswift7098]

fucking idiot!! it was not scripted.

[@gilbertsanchez5047]

Astrobrant2 it wasnt scripted.. look at the interviews for full metal jacket n theyll tell you too..

[@captainhobo1234567]

The "tears in the rain" line was one of the most powerful lines in the film. And it was improvised! Genius!

[@letsgosurfing416]

"I bet you could suck a golf ball through a garden hose" That R Lee Ermey line always got me.

[@mrexists5400]

[@Bankable2790]

[@mostorage8295]

"LIKE TEARS IN THE RAIN" SUCH A DEEP THING TO SAY

[@califinn]

I always stop and think of the physics of that...

[@dustinshadle732]

R Lee Ermy is pretty well known for ad-libbing lines, and sometimes scenes entirely. He was originally brought into movies as an advisor, but impressed the big wigs so much he started acting also. For him, I would imagine, some of this stuff is memory as much as acting.

[@williealston9019]

Fortunata Pacheco R. Lee Ermy was a former Drill instructor in the Marines, therefore what he said is typical stuff said by them to recruits. His entire dialog was his alone and not scripted.

[@williealston9019]

When I was in USMC boot camp I heard some of the same lines. In fact some things that were said could not be utter in the movies.

[@LucasKingPiano]

Sgt Hartman could occupy all 25 places here haha.

[@Fly_Navy]

I was trained by Marine DI's for 14 weeks. It brought back nightmares. :)

[@CMustian1]

Agreed

[@baconleal16]

From that movie alone! :-)

[@sldghamr1]

and it would be the exact same line..........

[@redwave3520]

R. Lee Ermey. RIP.

[@NoLuck686]

"LIKE TEARS IN THE RAIN" SUCH A DEEP THING TO SAY

[@nathanhaag2736]

My favorite on this list by far.

[@NoLuck686]

yup ive watched that movie so many times just for that scene

[@roguebierluvre9254]

My favorite movie moment of all time actually. There has never been a more poignant moment in cinematic history imo.

[@NoLuck686]

Rogue Bierluvre its a great movie the some people dont even apriciate they think its for scifi geeks or something other but it is a great movie

[@randyparsons3188]

I like the earlier quote when he is at the eye makers lab. "If only you could see what I've seen with your eyes."

[@POPPASHANGO]

R Lee Ermey was just an an advisor on the set of Full Metal Jacket. He put together a tape on how a Drill Instructor is suppose to lay into new recruits for the actor to study and play. Kubrick saw and sent the actor home. He then allowed Ermey to write and ad-lib all his own scenes. Which we all know today is pure memerable gold! Ermey also played a D.I. in "The Boys in Company C" years before. He is so great at it because he acutally was a Drill Instrutor when he served our country in the Marine Corps.

[@BARTENDER204]

"Leave the gun. Take the cannoli " That's just freakin genius.

[@therealdeadpen]

How in the hell did anyone keep it together while R. Lee Ermey done any one of his lines.

[@theadorabletk]

+therealdeadpen R. Lee Ermey's an actual drill sergeant. They were probably terrified of him while he was screaming and yelling. Although one guy is smiling while Ermey's screaming at him during this scene, lucky that corpsing worked out for that fella.

[@mohamedashian604]

[@Lakk6Metal]

hehehe i havent got a clue svveetheart :) But i love to have been there :)

[@Builder99]

again he was a Saint...with power

[@JimBob-ky8sm]

HOw you ask? Stanley Kubrick was a notorious perfectionist who wouldn't hesitate to shoot hundreds of takes until he got the perfect shot. I am sure it was funny at first but after hours... and days... and weeks of getting yelled at by a genuine drill instructor and put through PT etc... that they were well sick of being there at all.

[@DyingToLive310]

RIP Robin Williams... it's stuff like this that showcase what an incredible actor he was. It's hard to believe he's actually gone.

[@nikgarus3709]

0:54 It's crazy how yesterday at the exact same time Robin Williams was experiencing his last moments on earth, I was watching his improvised scene in Good Will Hunting, and I was laughing with actual tears in my eyes. Even in his last breath, Robin managed to make someone, somewhere in the world, laugh. Your legacy will always be remembered. R.I.P.

[@MC-bd5ub]

Nik Garus Williams died eight years later, hardly his last moments on earth.

[@Aaa-ho3sq]

Mark Chavez, I don't think you understand the comment at all...

[@douchymcdouche169]

In scene 20 with Joker, the explosion pause was NOT scripted, it was a pyrotechnics malfunction. Ledger genuinely saved the scene by staying in character. And they only had one take to do this in. Scene 8 was "allegedly" improvised. In fact Woody Allen sneezed on purpose for comedic effect but the other actors didn't know he was going to do that. So it's not really improvised.

[@sync0x]

This is why they get the big bucks; long live Heath Ledger, You Trucking Legend!

[@wager0113]

Douchy McDouche Do you even know the meaning of improvised? If the other actors or director didn't know he was going sneeze, it was improvised by him. Therefore, the scene was improvised

[@douchymcdouche169]

dominic garcia Nope. This is something he planned on doing, therefore it was PLANNED. By the director no less.

[@TheMorMor]

​@deadbutdreaming Wtf are you on about. The bulk of the monologue was slightly altered by Hauer and the `lost in time, like tears in rain, time to die` were added by Hauer the night before, as the original monologue was to verbose and full of as "opera talk" and "hi-tech speech". What kind of conspiracy BS are you going on about.

[@johnsmith-oh2xo]

He was a Drill instructor and gunnery sergeant in the marine corps.....

[@ihatestupidpeople2424]

They were not improvised. Ermy wrote the Paris Island boot camp dialog himself. This was tye first time Kubrick let ANYONE touch his work and redefine his vision.

[@keithpopko2540]

@@spaceballs44 Ermey was originally supposed to be an advisor for the boot camp scenes. The actor who was supposed to be Hartmann ended up as the crazy machine gunner in the helicopter scene because Ermey was so good at showing how a real drill instructor acted and spoke, so Kubrik gave him the part instead and gave Ermey full reign to improvise. As a Marine myself during that time period R. Lee Ermey absolutely nailed it. It looked authentic because it was authentic.

[@zztosha]

Oh wow. Out of everything, I would've never guessed that "Tears in rain" was improvised. This is amazing.

[@shamaniccolonic777]

Erik Kruip apparently was meant to be a serious scene but the actors kept doing shit like this. Those are real smiles.

[@danieldruff6822]

If I remember right, one of the actors couldn't quit farting - that's why they all had the giggles.

[@FreshZCORD]

Whole scene was hilarious

[@Achw3l]

You can see how fking satisfied Hauer looks after saying "like tears in rain" he knew he'd nailed it so hard there would be no nail left to nail

[@LearnerChess]

They didn't mention that the last scene, the one from "Full Metal Jacket" was acted by a former drill instructor. ". . . and not even have the common courtesy of giving him a reach around." Maybe he made that up on the spot or maybe it was from his DI days. Haha.

[@QuestoDomini]

Hell yeah "Gunny" was a DI! I think he really made FMJ a MUCH better movie, just as Capt. Dale Dye, retired USMC, made the Band of Brothers series a "REAL" gem in terms of making the story more genuine.

[@LearnerChess]

I also really liked his performance in "The Boys from Company C".

[@letsgosurfing416]

QuestoDomini . He also did The Pacific (Hanks/Spielberg), not as good as Band of Brothers but still very enjoyable.

[@hterrebrood]

That lines comes from a long history of USMC DIs instructing at both MCRD and OCS. I doubt that there has been a new line in the USMC DI repertoire in decades neither in training nor a film.

[@QuestoDomini]

Blade Runner's impovised line is poetry. I think the other are memorable and so quotable and the situation is so absurdly rare for being memorable that I can understand why they're higher on the list. But my personal favorite is Blade Runner's line here. It's just so beautiful and fitting to the scene. And the acting was so perfectly eloquent and concise. Not saying a lot but saying so much with perfect pacing and punch to the line. God, I love it. I'm gonna replay it a few more times before clicking on another video :')

[@ZendaAscaris]

I agree, that poetry tied it up nicely :D

[@CYBERVISIONSdotCom]

That's because R. Lee Ermey WAS a real Marine Corps Drill Instructor long before he started doing film, starting with his role as a DI in "The Boys in Company C". It wasn't hard to improvise something he knew by heart. Kubrick actually had Ermey on set of FMJ just as an advisor, but he was so good at it that Kubrick gave him full reign to improvise his own dialog, and as you said, it made the movie a classic. Personally, I loved him in "Siege of Firebase Gloria".

[@lilly2874]

[@johnstrong9744]

Rutger Hauer has publicly said that the tears in rain monologue was not improvised. I think it has become a myth because what really took place was that he spontaneously wrote the speech off hand late in his trailer the night before filming and showed it to Ridley Scott. The director was so amazed that he scrapped the original dialogue and replaced it with Hauer's monolgue... Which is I think actually equally as cool as the speech being improvised.

[@dif187]

Would Martin Sheen's scene in Apocalypse Now count as "unscripted"? He showed up to the set drunk, the scene in the bedroom was shot whilst he was drunk and he smashed a mirror, basically went nuts.

Lil funfact about the "Reach around" line from Full Metal Jacket. After Ermey said it, Kubrick stopped the take to ask the Sergeant what the hell a reach around was. Ermey explained and Kubrick's response was, "Ah, carry on."

[@PaperbackWizard]

It's extremely likely he was so good at "improvising" because he was an actual Marine sergeant. Wouldn't be surprised if he'd used every one of his lines while on duty, or had them used on him.

[@Parknest]

Kubrick gave Ermey free rein because he wanted it to be as realistic as possible. He probably said all those things at some time when he was in a drill instructor. That's why Full Metal Jacket is one of the best war films of all time.

[@sheamartin911]

[@Dino0469]

The reason R.Lee Ermey is so brilliant in that scene in the barracks on Full Metal Jacket is because he was just being himself--he used to be a Drill Instructor in real life and just played the part as it came natural to him since obviously the character he plays in the film is just second nature to him..He was indeed brilliant in the part and played it beautifully--very authentic! This is how it used to be and is much different than what is allowed today with a new recruit going thru boot camp...Full Metal Jacket is hands down one of THE BEST war films of all time! You can also catch him being himself again as a DI in the great film "The Boys In Company C" as he is training recruits going thru Boot Camp on their way to serving in combat in the Vietnam war..he plays these parts extremely well and with such authenticity due to his many years of service in the Marine corp. He also can be seen in 2 of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre films and one can easily see again his brilliance as he plays the twisted sheriff in both films. I will say that he is probably most recognized as being The Face of "Marine Corp Strong" and an avid supporter of the men and women of the US armed forces..a true patriot!

[@TrexsterInNC]

The scene in "Alien" when the alien itself bursts through the guy's chest kinda fits in this list. It was scripted... but the actors in the scene were not told what was going to happen, so their horror faces were legit, from the actual shock XD

Where is the "Funny how?" scene from Goodfellas. Joe Pesci won an Oscar for that very reason and it I personally think it is one of the most suspenseful moments in all the movies I've watched.

[@5DiceProductions000]

Awesome list, and this came out before "Django Unchained was released, so you couldn't have put it in here but still; When Leonardo DiCaprio hits his hand on the table, and accidentally hits a glass cup (with whiskey in it, or some alcoholic drink I believe) with his bare hand was purely an accident! BUT, he kept character, and continued his dialog while peeling the glass out of his hand like a badass! BTW, "The Wolf of Wall Street" comes out next month, so I'm sure there will be plenty of improvised moments in that movie.:)

Both of those Matt Damon scenes are arguable the worst and most awkward scenes in each movie. I think it's his creepy fake laughing that does it, and the world famous veteran actor he's talking to in each clip, is looking at him like he's a terrible actor, which he is.

Stop SOPA 2014. It will force all forms of entertainment made by you and me to be deleted - videos, art, fanfics, everything. It goes into effect March 19th, 2014. Stomp this one just like we stomped the last one, guys.

Sopa is a joke.

Koe Kipper , if they ever pass it, I'm done with entertainment. Computer's going in the trash, T.V's going out the window. I'll take up a new hobby. Think rifle practice and moltov crafts would be good fill ins.

This should be renamed 25 Most Annoying Scenes in Films.

[@clairengelbert6275]

The genius of these is obviously beyond your limited comprehension.

[@hoopenhanger]

Clair Engelbert Maybe some day I'll be as sophisticated as you, until then, I'll stay away from drivel like this.

[@JCollinsSama]

Aww, don't be such a party pooper.

[@vapordoug1485]

Sure you're soooo above it all...that you are annoyed by some of the universally acknowledge greatest movies and films of the American film industry, and YOU'RE the one who's opinion is correct. Thanks for enlightening the masses. Hipster douchebag.

[@MA-tk4ob]

Vapor Doug Aww, come on off your pesdestal! I don't like ALL 25 films mentioned here, just SOME of them, for example; I can't stand Clockwork Orange' and Dumb n Dumber, but I'm a great fan of 'Usual Suspects' because I think the actors did a GREAT JOB with what could have been just bullsh** if not for thier amazing charisme and bonding. I deeply respect Malkovitch and he does really good movies, there will NEVER be a Joker like Heath Ledger EVER again, he made the character tangible, breathable, larger than life and almost larger than Batman... What's wrong with films that just entertain????? Besides: This vid is about the spontaneous creativity streak in actors, remember? Peace.

Capt. Quint yelling at Richard Dreyfuss' character when he was loading all his equipment aboard the Orca......." What are ya Hooper, a half arsed astronaut ???"
