When Actors Forgot Their Lines in Movies

[@WordUnheard]

That's wild how a lot of these improvised lines became the lines people remember the most. "I don't care!" "I'm Batman!" "Kevin!" All of those lines were featured in the trailers.

[@inoox]

They are not improvised, this youtuber is full of bs.

[@WordUnheard]

@@inoox Not according to what I've read. Where's your proof that they're lying?

[@alexbladez]

“Im beetlejuice”

[@robby1816]

Films a steamy love scene, then conveniently forgets line. Oh darn, I guess we need to do that again?

[@ntdscherer]

Robert Wuhl said he made sure to mess up his kiss with Kim Basinger in Batman.

[@DIDYOUSEETHAT172]

3:43 It wasn't Ben's brain fart that made the scene, it was David's staying in character, deadpan response "Are you serious, I just told you why a moment ago!' or something like that.

[@DarianDuncn]

The best part of the Clue moment was they all look at Christopher Lloyd (playing a psychologist) for explanation and the look he gives back says “Yeah, I got nothing”

[@kirinrex]

I think I'm going to invent a new drinking game: every time they mispronounce someone's name, we all take a drink. I'll call it "Plastered in less than 8 minutes"

[@dragracer2511]

@0:13 "In 'The Fugitive' during a tense moment when Harrison Ford's character is being chased for a crime he didn't commit...." That wasn't a tense moment, that was the WHOLE movie!

Looks like I’m going to bed with Chitty Chitty Bang Bang stuck in my head. Thanks lol

[@mortamustyler8166]

That happens to me like once a month.

[@dbuzman]

The "I'm Batman" was not because he forgot the line. Neither he nor Burton liked the original so Keaton was told to make something up.

[@andrewcocos]

Like half of this have editing and cuts. No way this is genuine reaction of other actors if it's cut to other shot, come on.

[@Christian_Prepper]

7:59 *That still happens to me too when I'm with my wife. I forget my lines and just ad lib.* 😂

[@bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb-]

My favorite was in Big Fat Greek Wedding when Aunt Voula comes up the happy couple, she asks to touch Ian's hair, after Toula cuts her off from touching his hair, Aunt Voula asks what he likes to eat and Toula says that he's a vegetarian, and the famous, "He don't eat No meat" was born. When Aunt Toula asks to touch his hair...apparently, that's because the actress, Andrea Martin, forgot her line and asked to touch his hair to give her time to remember her lines again instead of completely stopping the scene. Brilliant acting and comedy gold

[@cynthiajones3241]

I read Tom Felton's auto biography. 90% of the time, Tom couldn't remember his lines and improvised.

[@justindza]

I'm doubtful a studio would let a kid/teenage actor improvise "90%" of his lines. Especially a blockbuster. Could be a lot but not 9/10 lines.

[@joelwillems4081]

@@justindza 90% sounds better.

[@DavidAnderson-m5c]

6:10 Olivia Wilde's behind is pixelated for sensitive audiences and KZbin reasons. 6:14 Pixels magically fall off, and sanity prevails.

[@JervisGermane]

You got the "Most replayed moment" for that

[@echo4260]

5:00 Pity this has been debunked as myth. Even in the original script he's listed as Tim the Enchanter. Would have been an awesome story if it were true.

[@AshleyMarks-]

What?! No. The story is David Duchovny. He was the one that responded so well too the other actors mistake.

[@blats1212]

These are starting to become remixes of past videos. Once you see the earlier one, it is repeat in different order.

[@Kpictures_NYC]

It's great when you have A-listers who understand how to improvise. However, when you're working on a low budget and you're chasing daylight and an actor forgets their lines and it's not so magical, not so fun.

[@critter_creek_nature_videos]

Conversely if an A lister starts making up lines they are possibly jeopardizing years of prep and work and tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars.

[@darkzak47]

I miss Madeleine Kahn so much.

[@GodIsJamesMason]

7:06 Clue!?! Tim Curry!! 💜💙 Omg!! Aaahaaaha

[@dougwebb704]

I always wondered about that scene in the Holy Grail where John Cleese said his name was Tim. I always thought it was hilarious that they made his name Tim, but now that I hear this, it's even more brilliant.

[@born2lol]

Love that scene in Clue. The funniest in the whole movie.

[@jzeffmz]

Why does this video stop at 7:08 ... indefinitely ??

[@framesdaimaginacao]

Michael Keaton is THE BEST BATMAN!

[@YouTubeallowedmynametobestolen]

Wow, I did not know that "I don't care" was ad-libbed. I think it's the only line from the movie (which I liked) that I remember and think of from time to time.

[@tb20million]

Is there nothing these Gods can’t do?? Fawning complete.

[@drydogg]

Daniel Stern and Steve Guttenberg, was that Kevin Bacon and Paul Reiser? DAMN! They're young!

[@unstepintime]

If you haven't watched Diner before do yourself a favorite and watch it. Great young actors in a great movie.

[@SacredDaturaa]

Also like Daniel Stern there was only eight years away from portraying Marv in Home Alone. Never would have guessed these performances were so close together in time.

[@unstepintime]

@@SacredDaturaa Also not mentioned but Tim Daly, from Wings, is in this & Ellen Barkin. Great cast.

[@drydogg]

@@SacredDaturaa Remember Daniel Stern in Blue Thunder, with Roy Scheider? Remember Dana Carvey, in the Blue Thunder TV show? I just found out that Tim Robbins was in Top Gun. Wasn't Kevin Bacon in Animal House?

[@the_full_english]

Why has no one mentioned Mickey Rorurke as well, he’s right there in the clip.

[@lancomedic]

Since I have never seen any of these movies I thought the video was interesting.

[@helenwilliams7065]

Madeleine Khan! "What is it you DO do?"😂❤

[@randycelaya4412]

Just like Ben Stiller in Zoolander, you seem to repeat yourself and all your videos as well. I feel like I already watched this many many times. No more

[@ericadams7834]

Kahn...legend!

[@phapnui]

Ironically, the narrator flubbed all his lines in this one.

[@fabricofdreams.]

Can't blame Gillian, would be me too ngl 😂

[@joseparcenary4706]

7:32 What is this bullshit? These aren't real "reaction" shots to an improv. They are all different camera setups. Do you really think films are made by having separate cameras pointed at every single actor on the set?

[@skyshatter3633]

to be fair i would have forgotten my words around Olivia Wilde in that underwear

[@ClassifiedRanTom]

There’s a difference between forgetting your line, and improvising a better one, the first example with Fugitive is a bad beginning to this video.

[@grewntd]

Those "pressures" he just mentioned, yeah, they would located in the crotch region

[@deadnowfound]

Nicely done

[@mikehere5331]

Jim Carey isn’t Count Olaf though? 4:17

Lmao "Im batman." and "Kevin!" being adlibbed? (despite there being a camera right in front of her that she shouts this into lmao) AHAHAHAH youre having a laugh mate. Im sorry that people actually believe this bs.

[@john2510]

Most of these “improv” videos are lies. Every camera angle is separately shot and it takes several minutes to set up for the take from that angle. No response from a separate camera angle is spontaneous. The actor has probably had a half hour to consider what they’re going to say.

[@ChubbsTheCat]

But in the general sense, this video uses "improv" to mean "not as originally scripted", it doesn't need to be in-the-second spontaneous.

[@john2510]

@@ChubbsTheCat Certainly, scripts change, but many of these clips describe the shot as something the actor improvised, or did by accident and everyone just rolled with it. In the context of the various camera angles they show, and the time that it would have taken to shoot the clip, that ranges from highly unlikely to impossible. When you cut from what one actor's action to another actor's reaction, that reaction isn't spontaneous. It's a carefully staged reaction to what has been shot. I think some people think they use multiple cameras all filming at once. That's not how movies are filmed.

[@ChubbsTheCat]

@@john2510 You didn't need to cut and paste your previous response, I'm simply stating that this video isn't using "improvised" as in that exact second, but instead something they've come with off script. If you watch any comedy movies' DVD/Blu-Ray, nearly all of them have "line-o-rama" as part of the extras/options where they shoot the same exact scene a dozen times and have a line or two that are up to the actor, which therefore, IS "improvised" aka up to that specific actor (think 40 year old virgin or Wanderlust, Paul Rudd is in many of the movies I'm thinking of). Many of these, I agree, are more like delays while the actor remembers their line, but even still, you can see smiles and reactions that don't mesh with how it was supposed to go.
