When Actors Came Up With Their Own Iconic Lines in Movies!

[@StargateMaker]

“And I’m all out of bubblegum”……… Hands-down, the best improvised line of this compilation.

[@Larstig81]

Duke Nukem was the first one I heard saying it. I didn't know back then it was from a movie.

[@StargateMaker]

@@Larstig81 Dude totally. I think the first time I heard it was in dazed and confused? I’m not sure. But I definitely know I heard it in the Zeitgeist long before I heard the original.

[@FindecanorNotGmail]

It was common among pro wrestlers to invent catch phrases in advance to remember and use. Many pro wrestlers were known to keep notebooks with them just for this thing. Rumour has it that this is one of those phrases that Rowdy Roddy Piper had been practising. One rumour claims that Carpenter was allowed to read Piper's notebook and selected this one.

Han Solo's response to Princess Leia telling him she loves him was Harrison Ford's ad lib. He just says "I know" instead of "I love you too" or something. Harrison thought that's what Han would say in that moment and it was kept in the movie.

[@mxslick50]

He also left out the classic ad lib during the jail break...."We're fine....how are you?" That whole exchange was ad-libbed by Ford.

[@Growly.]

Actually that's incorrect. It was that they had done so many retakes of the scene that Harrison was like... "i know... "

[@mxslick50]

@@Growly. No it's not incorrect. Harrison and the director Irvin Kershner met and had an extended discussion about the line, and Harrison thought up "I know." It is documented in the book on the making of ESB, and in many interviews by Harrison and Kersh.

[@Growly.]

@@mxslick50 Then i guess they lied on the directors commentary track on the dvd cause I'm pretty sure that's where i heard it

[@mxslick50]

@@Growly. That is most likely the case as the dvd tracks are made many years after the actual filming, and the book came out the same year ESB did.

Because of the "I can't see a thing in this helmet" scene in Star Wars, it has since then been expanded upon in the star Wars universe, where the helmet will provide weaker vision if the wearer is not the original suit owner/stormtrooper. Crazy how one line created a whole subplot.

[@cristina.ganymede]

[@U2QuoZepplin]

R Lee Ermey's whole routine in the opening scene of Full Metal Jacket has to be top of this list. He improvised the whole of that scene to my knowlege. Ordinarily I would give top spot to Han Solo's reply I know, when Princess Leia tells him "I love you ," in The Empire Strikes Back and the scripted line before he's frozen in carbonite was supposed to be "I love you too." But Harrison Ford had it changed to "I know."

For a number of reasons Bill Murray and Chevy Chase adlibbed an entire scene in Caddy Shack (when Ty is practicing at night and stumbles into Murray's shack) . Hell, Murray adlibbed almost the entire movie. Classic!

[@epickett63]

The whole "Cinderella Story" was an adlib. From what I read, Murray just asked for a bunch of geraniums(or whatever kind of flowers those were)...

[@mayorb3366]

I believe it was their only scene together. There was bad blood on Chevy's part as after he left SNL for movie offers, Murray was cast in the show. Lorne Michaels told Chevy that he could return to the show later but then changed his mind because Murray was killing it. That was when they had a limited comedy troupe of seven members, (which I think gelled better than the laundry list of actors in each show later). By the way, that pitchfork Murray was jabbing into Chevy's throat was not a prop, it was the real thing.

The Zoolander exchange is one of the best, ever. It was SOOO perfect for the Zoolander character. Christine Taylor's facial expression of "Seriously?" as she turns to look at him is such an absolutely natural reaction, not surprising as she's Ben's IRL wife. And Duchovny's dry, sardonic, off the cuff response is also just perfect for his character and the scene. It's not common that I actually laugh out loud at movies, but that scene and that exchange made it happen the first time I watched it.

[@robertelliott2026]

Although most of the DI's lines from Full Metal Jacket did, indeed come from Ermey, they weren't exactly improvised. Kubrick gave him a tape recorder and had him go off and record several hours of stuff he would have said to new recruits. Then the tape was given to a secretary to transcribe and Kubrick selected his favorite lines to get worked into the scene. Apparently, the secretary was an older and quite polite British woman, which conjures a funny image of her listening to some of the saltiest language ever to be featured in a mainstream film.

[@imhappyandyou.4003]

I've got no problems with writers wanting the actors to stick to the script, I get it. What you wrote is what you want said, but sometimes something made up on the spot makes it seem more natural and more fitting.
