When Actors Go Off Script And NAIL IT

[@sthenx0r]

My favorite one, from Life of Brian: Brian is telling his followers "You are all individuals!" and the crowd responds together "Yes, we are all individuals!" Then one voice squeaks out "...I'm not." That is my favorite line of the movie and it was an off script moment from a random extra.

[@stamfordly6463]

I thought it was claimed to be Spike Milligan? Or at least his idea.

[@tommymorrison6478]

That was no "random extra", that was Terence Baylor, and I very much doubt that was impromptu.

[@mikaelbiilmann6826]

Not improvised. Several of the Pythons say very little was ever improvised in their filming as they scripted everything carefully. The same line was used in the Judean People’s Front meeting, where John Cleese’s character, Reg, says: “…and there is not one man among us who is not willing to sacrifice his life for the cause!” And there is that one voice in the back going”…well, one..,” And Reg says: “…Oh yes, one..!”

[@PhoenixRizez]

Is it just me, or is it weird that the pic they used for the video’s thumbnail (with Scarlett Johansson) wasn’t an off-script moment. It’s only in the video for a second as part of the Avengers montage, and the narrator doesn’t even acknowledge it.

That line about Bugs Bunny cross dressing was one of my favorite lines in Wayne's World. I just recently told a person too young to know about Wayne's World about that entire scene. I was talking about how back in the 1990s, I would go to the SeaTac Airport and do exactly what they were doing with my boyfriend at the time. We'd lay on the hood of his car (I had a VW Bus. His little car was a better choice.) and have conversations while we watched airplanes take off over our heads. That scene is so nostalgic to me.

[@randythemitoman]

That was a great line: "Am I not merciful"... while he is yelling at his sister.

[@martygreenspan-xy2jo]

One of the best lines in all of cinema.

Glad that Nicholson changed the line in A Few Good Men. The original line wouldn't have had near the same impact as what was used in the film.

Always always always, need more cow bell. It can't be said enough.

[@ZachsMind]

5:02 This is the sign of a great actor. The line in the script is still in the subtext. He changed the line from "You already have the truth" to "You can't handle the truth" because from the character's perspective, everyone in the courtroom already "has" the "truth" and they're still insisting he elaborate, because they can't handle it. He's THE Colonel Jessup. He doesn't have to elaborate. He doesn't have to explain himself. Great powerful moment. He was figuratively punching Tom Cruise's face with his words in that scene. Brilliant.

"I need more cowbell" - isn't it a reference to the joke video about "Blue Oyster Cult - Don't fear the reaper" song?

[@Blazingstoke]

"You can't handle the truth" was actually a line in the original play that _A Few Good Men_ was based on; it's just not as prominent as it is in the movie because that whole exchange between Kaffee and Jessup is a lot more verbose.

In 1983’s “Christine”, after seeing the damaged car in the garage, Arnie turns and yells at Leigh, going on a tirade and getting in her face. In the script Keith Gordon was only supposed to talk to her, And instead shouted, catching her off guard. Alexandra Paul’s look of fear is genuine.

Staying mounted on a rearing horse, maintaining enough control to walk it off and keep the cast and crew safe, and stay in character and stick to script? That's actually unbelievable. It's a damn shame that so much talent was poured into the great nothingness of Kevin Costner's ego projects. And if Stallone wrote "Rocky", is it technically improvisation if he's doing it on his own script?

[@leoperidot482]

Pretty much the entire MCU is improv, which probably drives the writers nuts. Let's see RDJ or Scarlett Johansson go off script in a Quinten Tarantino movie. Tell them Samuel L Jackson, Michael Keaton, Tim Roth, Kurt Russell. That dog don't hunt!

If so many movies have been through the actor improvising and not following the script entirely, then does that mean that if you're an actor, you shouldn't follow the script entirely, and that you're supposed to improvise and ignore some of it in order to do well at being an actor? And if so, is that a rule that all actors know, but one that some follow and some do not follow?

I already knew about Gimli/LOTR. His lines are generally the least consistent regarding respect for the books intentions and how the characters normally talk. Legolas never says 'game over', and most of Gimli's dialog is obviously modern day slang and modern day sensibilities. No one in LOTR knew what a 'nervous system' was (as a for instance). Some of that stuff was funny, no doubt. But it also jarringly didn't fit.

It wasn't just the glass that broke at 5:47, the dinosaur's tooth also broke off. Change speed to 0.25x and free frame it when the teeth are shown and you'll see the missing one. Then go back and do the same where you see the glass break from the side. If you look close enough, you'll see where the fake tooth pops off.

[@DarrellSt.Blaine]

I'm skeptical of some of these. For example: when the fellow puts the piece of skin in his pocket and when that other guys takes a drink of water in the middle of an argument, in both scenes the camera man perfectly follows the actor's hand. There's no way that wasn't scripted. It may have come out as an improv in a previous take but in those shots the camera man clearly knew to expect that action.

[@AeAeRon]

Sometimes, things are improvised, and then they do another take, and it's kept in.

[@DarrellSt.Blaine]

@@AeAeRon right, which isn't uncommon (unless Kevin Smith is directing). Making a list of how scripts change due to actor ideas/improv would be endless. I think the implication of this video is that these particular takes were improvised and then kept for the final cut, which the obvious camera move in these two scenes show is not the case.
