15 Major Movie Moments We Had No Clue Were Improvised On Set

September 30, 2021

The Marvel film required difficult stunts from main actors such as Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, and their stunt doubles. Still, there was a lot of wirework again for action sequences, but they often tried to overlay things like truck flipping or real jumps from rooftop to rooftop to keep the story as grounded as possible.

We're celebrating the most memorable set moments in History times over the past 21 years. Reporters spoke to the actresses and film producers who decided to make some of these moments come for this special YouTube series that we've been going to publish over the last four months, uncovering backstage details about how all the moments originated to be and digging deep into why they've been trapped with us for so long.

In Avengers: Infinity War, one of Tony Stark's best jabs at Peter Parker was a quick ad-lib by RDJ. Here's the complete story, as well as 14 others:

15

A very odd moment in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier wasn't in the script. When Zemo is selling Bucky, he strokes him on the chin that was ad-libbed, and Sebastian Stan was suffering, said Daniel Bruhl. CRACKED.COM — Source: ComicBook.com

14

A cliffhanger in the Picard finale was something the actors came up with. Rafi and Seven of Nine affectionately touching each other on the hand wasn't in the script - the actors just did that on set, kind of implying a relationship. CRACKED.COM — Source: The Hollywood Reporter

13

Marion's scene with Belloq in Raiders of the Lost Ark was improvised. The script was totally different (in it, she flirted with him), and Karen Allen didn't like that, so she and Martin Freeman improvised an entirely new scene. CRACKED.COM — Source: Collider

12

A big moment in the finale of Loki was ad-libbed by one of the actors. Jonathan Majors wasn't supposed to get on his desk in his monologue as He Who Remains but he suddenly did that, and the camera followed him. CRACKED.COM — Source: ComicBook.com

11

Arthur's dance in the bathroom in Joker wasn't in the movie's script. In the script, he just gets rid of his weapon and wipes away his makeup - but Todd Philips and Joaquin Phoenix started having second thoughts on the set. CRACKED.COM — Source: ComicBook.com

10

The Get Help scene in Thor: Ragnarok was improvised by the actors. Taika Waititi told them It would be really fun if you came into the room and pretended it was a game you used to play as kids, so they did. CRACKED.COM — Source: CBR

9

James Caan improvised a big moment in The Godfather's opening. It was when Sonny takes an FBI agent's camera, smashes it, and then throws a $20 bill on the street. No part of that was scripted. CRACKED.COM — Source: The Hollyood Reporter

8

Chris Pine and Gal Gadot ad-libbed their boat ride scene in Wonder Woman. Chris Pine said She has to be the straight woman, that's the harder part. She's delivering lines like 'My father is Zeus'c shit that is just SO ridiculous. CRACKED.COM — Source: Entertainment Weekly

7

Chris Hemsworth improvised his job interview scene in 2016's Ghostbusters. The scene ended up relying on his improv skills, and screenwriter Katie Dippold said that he's also a really hilarious improviser, which is crazy. CRACKED.COM — Source: CinemaBlend

6

One of Tony Stark's quips in Avengers: Infinity War was an off-the-cuff ad-lib. When Peter Parker says he's backup to Tony and Doctor Strange, Tony shuts him down by saying the adults are talking that's all RDJ. CRACKED.COM — Source: CinemaBlend

5

Jeff Goldblum ad-libbed a meta line in Independence Day: Resurgence. When he's looking at Earth's cities being smashed, he says They love to get the landmarks! he was asked to just ad-lib that scene, and it worked out. CRACKED.COM — Source: CinemaBlend

4

The Boys

A season 2 joke in The Boys was just improvised by the actress on set. PINNACLE When Ashley tells A-Train I tindered my way through Barcelona. Everyone in that city ate MY paella, that was totally unscripted - it was all Colby Minifie. CRACKED.COM — Source: CinemaBlend

3

Jared Leto

Jared Leto came up with the reacharound line in Zack Snyder's Justice League. Near the end, Joker says no-one would give Batman a reacharound if he didn't join Batman's team. Leto thought the line would never make it in. CRACKED.COM — Source: CinemaBlend

2

A ton of the dialogue in The Breakfast Club was improvised by the actors. John Hughes was really open to actors' suggestions, and he'd happily rewrite a line or even a whole paragraph of dialogue on the spot. CRACKED.COM — Source: HuffPo

1

Tom Wilson ad-libbed one of his best-known lines in Back to the Future. It was Biff's threat Make like a tree, and get out of here that and the word butthead were some of his many improvisations on the set, he says. CRACKED.COM — Source: Yahoo
