They're iconic. They're memorable. And they were never meant to happen. Sometimes, an ingenious on-set improvisation
creates a moment that not even a film's directors and screenwriters could capture, and unexpectedly
cements itself as an unquestionable classic. Though they were never in the script, here
are a few memorable movie scenes that just kind of… happened. Caddyshack One of the most popular comedies in history,
it isn't hard to understand why Caddyshack is a classic, especially with a cast that
included Chevy Chase, Rodney Dangerfield and Bill Murray. The film had a chaotic production, thanks
to the cast's penchant for constantly ad-libbing their lines, but Murray was easily the worst
offender. In what's become known among fans as the "Cinderella"
scene, Murray, as caddy Carl Spackler, fantasizes about life as a professional golfer — and
the rest is comedy history. "Somebody know where, he's got about 350 yards,
he's gonna hit about 500 yards, don't ya think? He's got a beautiful back swing. That's! Oh, he got out of that one!" According to director Harold Ramis, the improv
ran almost 30 minutes, which is something we'd all love to see in a Director's Cut. Unfortunately, it'll probably never happen. "I want ---" "You'll get nothing and like it!" Dazed and Confused Matthew McConaughey has built an impressive
filmography over the years, but no matter how many awards he wins, he'll never escape
the three words he uttered in 1993. "Alright, alright, alright!" It's become one of the signature lines from
Dazed and Confused, and McConaughey improvised it on the spot. The actor claims to have based the line on
a live album performance of "Roadhouse Blues" by The Doors. "I'd been listening to this live, Morrison
live Doors album. And in between two of the songs, Morrison
goes, 'Alright, alright, alright!'" The line became a catchphrase on set and in
pop culture, and it's since become one of McConaughey's signature lines in real life. "And to that I say, 'Alright, alright, alright!'" All right. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest The story of Dead Man's Chest picks up with
Jack Sparrow doing battle with the nefarious dead pirate Davy Jones, and as he's done in
every Pirates movie, Depp gave a charming, bizarre performance. One scene had Jack parading around with a
jar of dirt, mocking Jones and confusing his fellow crewmates. "I've got a jar of dirt. I've got a jar of dirt! And guess what's inside it?!" "Enough!" Before filming, Depp asked director Gore Verbinski
if he could improvise, and you don't really say no to Johnny Depp. Depp began to dance around with the jar while
the cameras rolled, and Verbinski caught the genuinely perplexed reaction of the other
actors. But really, after so much time on set with
Depp, nothing should have been too surprising. Blade Runner Ridley Scott's sci-fi opus Blade Runner notoriously
suffered from a troubled production, which included an ever-changing script that pushed
the cost of the film ever higher. One of the movie's best lines, however, didn't
come from the screenwriters, but actor Rutger Hauer. Roy spends the movie trying desperately to
find a "cure" for the design flaw dooming him and his friends to shortened lives, but
by the end of the film, he's given up hope. As he's slowly dying, he recalls a short list
of incredible things he's seen in his short life, which is partially improvised and altered
by Hauer himself from the original screenplay's 30 or so lines. Hauer and Scott tend to disagree about who
added what and where, but both agree that the film's most iconic line was 100-percent,
pure, on-the-spot Hauer. "All those moments will be lost in time, like
tears… in rain." Also not in the script, according to Hauer's
autobiography, was the entire chase scene, which was originally a fight in a gym, and
the dove that he's holding as he dies, both ideas that Hauer himself introduced to the
story. Big It's the story of a 12-year-old boy who makes
a wish to be a grownup. Against all odds, the wish comes true, and
the man-with-a-12-year-old's-brain, played by Tom Hanks, realizes he has a lot to learn
about living an adult life. And one of those things you have to learn
as a man is how to properly eat unusual foods. Hanks got caught up in acting like an oblivious
preteen, and improvised the whole thing. Director Penny Marshall found it hilarious,
and kept the take in the final cut. Full Metal Jacket Director Stanley Kubrick was known for his
overwhelmingly meticulous demands of his actors, and his 1987 war drama Full Metal Jacket was
no exception. Former drill instructor R. Lee Ermey joined
the production as a technical advisor at Stanley Kubrick's request, but once on board, he expressed
his interest in the role of drill Sergeant Hartman. When Kubrick saw a video of Ermey insulting
a group of potential actors, he cast him as Sergeant Hartman on the spot. "You're so ugly, you could be a modern art
masterpiece." In a most unusual move for the controlling
Kubrick, Ermey was allowed to improvise most of his own dialogue, in particular the insults
that made the character so memorable. "Your ass looks like about 150 pounds of chewed
bubble gum, you know that, Pyle?" "Sir, yes, sir!" Full Metal Jacket won critical raves when
it opened, especially for Ermey's performance. He's since gone on to a prestigious acting
career. Mostly screaming at people. The Departed While filming The Departed, Jack Nicholson
often approached director Martin Scorsese with ideas about his character, a violent
mobster naked Frank Costello. In one scene, Nicholson totally surprised
co-star Leonardo DiCaprio in the worst way. "You got something you wanna... ask me?" Nicholson had proposed the interaction to
Martin Scorsese, who allowed Nicholson to pull a real, unscripted gun on DiCaprio, who
reacted with genuine fear. A little because having an unknown gun waved
in your face is scary, but more because Nicholson was making every effort to be actively terrifying
on set. Saving Private Ryan Directed by Steven Spielberg, Saving Private
Ryan follows the adventures of an Army squad in search of the title character during World
War II. Matt Damon, who had just scored an Oscar nomination
for his performance in Good Will Hunting, was cast for one of the main roles. At one point, Ryan tells a pretty odd story
to his squad captain about catching his brother gettin' busy with a questionable girl. "Picture a girl who took a nose dive from
the Ugly Tree and hit every branch comin' down!" Matt Damon, an Academy Award-winning writer,
improvised the story. The crew thought Damon had botched it with
the weird, meandering story that didn't really have a point. Spielberg, however, thought it fit the character
perfectly and kept it in the movie. Because who doesn't love a story about watching
