Great Improvised Moments In Movies

[KnoxHarrington]

Some of the best moments in movie history will not be found in their film's screenplay. They were completely improvised, off the cuff, and kept in the movie.

Like this iconic moment:

<object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/u05Qot_yh9c&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/u05Qot_yh9c&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object>

Completely improvised by David Patrick Kelly, based on a taunt from a bully he'd encountered. But it works with the tone of this movie perfectly.

Any others you can think of?

I've heard stories that this scene from Animal House was improved by Belushi...and dammit I want it to be true:

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/a9JYq-mXprw&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/a9JYq-mXprw&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

Wow, I just realized that Ajax in this movie is Dexter's dad!

And, of course, all the screenplay says for this scene is "Travis is talking to the mirror."

I just read somewhere that Diniro got "Are you talking to me" from Bruce Springsteen.

i always laugh at this scene in Clue, and it's the only improvised scene in the entire movie:

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/92IkddsjtAA&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&feature=player_embedded&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/92IkddsjtAA&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&feature=player_embedded&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
