Top 20 Actor Mistakes That Were Kept in the Movie

it wasn't scripted but it's still magic welcome to watch mojo and today we're counting down our picks for the top 20 actor mistakes that were kept in the movie for this list we're looking at various mistakes that were made by actors that made it into the final cut of the film these can include flood lines an actor breaking character or accidental injuries number 20 spit take fast and furious 6. spit takes are usually reserved for wacky sitcoms so it's always great to see a genuine spit take in the wild a fantastic one can be seen in fast and furious six when hobbs arrives at the barbecue roman makes a jab about hiding mia's baby oil hey mia you better hide your baby all right i'm just playing you better hide that big ass forehead dwayne johnson was not supposed to respond to this but he improvised a line about roman's big-ass forehead instead this caused ludicrous to crack up resulting in a genuine spit take that was captured on camera luckily the take could be used in the movie as tyrese gibson stayed in character and dejectedly responded to johnson's jab i was just joking number 19 ask me again almost famous sometimes mistakes result in great character moments i'm gonna live in morocco for one year such is the case in this scene between patrick fugits william and kate hudson's penny lane do you want to come [Music] yes penny asks william if you'd like to go to morocco with her and he responds in a somewhat awkward manner he then says ask me again and this time he responds with a far more enthusiastic yes ask me again do you want to come yes yes according to director cameron crowe this interaction was a blooper as fugut asked hudson to repeat her line so he could give a better take crowe loved the interaction so much he decided to leave both takes in the movie resulting in a wonderful bit of character work a great director knows when they have magic on their hands number 18 star-lord drops the infinity stone guardians of the galaxy the mcu is full of terrific casting but chris pratt in the role of star-lord is particularly inspired see that's exactly why none of you have any friends five seconds after you meet somebody you're already trying to kill him and as in parks and recreation pratt's improvisation and blunders only add to his character in the scene involving the collector star-lord fumbles the orb and drops it on the ground [Music] according to james gunn in the audio commentary this was a complete accident as chris pratt actually fumbled the prop but rather than laughing pratt decided to pick it up and play it off and gunn loved it so much that he kept it in the movie it was a happy accident and a perfect example of star-lord's loveably goofball nature there's a little pee coming out of me right now number 17 al pacino trips over a garbage can scent of a woman al pacino won an academy award for his role as the blind frank slade a retired and irritable lieutenant colonel i'm tired pacino undertook meticulous research for the role which included meeting with members of new york's associated blind he also met with the lighthouse guild who taught him techniques that blind people used to perform everyday tasks in order to simulate his character's blindness pacino never allowed his eyes to focus because of this he accidentally ran into a garbage can while filming on the street [Music] [ __ ] how are you doing the actors stayed in character and the blooper was kept in the movie adding to the realism of his performance [Music] how you doing what is your standard come on i'm tired number 16. uh-oh fart rain man rain man is one of the most memorable films of the late 80s thanks in large part to the electric chemistry between dustin hoffman and tom cruise it seems like they got along well behind the camera as well as hoffman was comfortable enough to let loose in an enclosed phone booth with cruz yeah charlie babbitt i'll hold hard did you fart right hoffman stayed in character while farting and crews ever the professional decided to run with it remaining in character and performing some banter with hoffman how can you stand yeah ken 10 minutes away hey how are you guys charlie hoffman looks back proudly on the scene saying quote it's just my favorite moment of anything i've ever done that includes shakespeare so that settles it farting is better than shakespeare number 15 jim carrey asks for a line lemony snickets a series of unfortunate events this movie didn't do super well at the box office but most people will agree that jim carrey made for a great count olaf when meeting the baudelaire children olaf asks klaus to repeat himself so he can give a more appropriate reaction to their parents deaths wait let me do that one more time give me the line again but legend has it that carrie had actually wanted to do another take and was asking the script supervisor to give him the line again carrie can even be seen gesturing off camera with his left hand presumably towards the script supervisor through a clever bit of editing the filmmakers were able to work it into the movie and make it seem like just another one of olaf's eccentricities i will raise these orphans as if they were actually wanted number 14 kip breaks the tupperware napoleon dynamite you see this ain't your run-of-the-mill crapperware these are some serious new pond fiber woven bowls one of the funniest scenes in napoleon dynamite sees kip driving over a tupperware bowl shattering it and driving away in utter defeat this is another example of a real-life gaff making the scene even funnier than it was envisioned the original plan was to have the tupperware slightly deform and reshape itself but it ended up exploding with a satisfying pop dang it not wanting to waste a fantastic opportunity actor aaron rule decided to improvise kip's disappointment and drove out of the shot it is infinitely funnier than what was planned and it proves that the comedy gods were smiling upon the napoleon dynamite filmmakers that day so how does the delio sound to you number 13 george c scott trips and falls dr strangelove stanley kubrick has a legendary filmography so it's hard to pick his best movie but today war is too important to be left to politicians but if arms were twisted the answer for many would be dr strangelove even if it's not his best it certainly is funniest as this movie is jam-packed with biting satire and old-fashioned slapstick from start to finish hey what about major kong one of the funnier visuals sees general turgidson tripping falling to the ground and continuing his conversation while still on the floor that's an obvious comment trick mr president we're wasting valuable time look at me i'm getting ready to clowers actor george c scott really tripped while performing the scene but decided to stay in character resulting in an unintentionally brilliant bit of slapstick comedy perhaps this professionalism was a remnant of scott's broadway and shakespeare career as there is no cutting or breaking character on the stage number 12. the bed titanic don't artists need good light that is true but i'm not used to working in such variable conditions there are many classic scenes in titanic but perhaps the most iconic of them all is jack painting rose on the couch or is it a bed after rose undresses jack grows visibly and audibly flustered so much so he flubs his instructions telling rose to lie on the bed before quickly correcting himself overrun the bed on the couch this was a real mistake from leonardo dicaprio but director james cameron loved to take so much he decided to keep it in it was a great creative decision as it wonderfully depicts jack's intense feelings plus it makes the scene that much more realistic and meaningful and yes steamy number 11 i didn't know you could read harry potter and the chamber of secrets in order to access the slytherin common room and suss out information from malfoy harry and ron decide to drink polyjuice potion and disguise themselves as crab and goyle [Music] unfortunately harry forgets to take off his glasses leading malfoy to question why goyle is wearing them when harry explains that he was reading malfoy offhandedly remarks that he didn't know goyle could read why are you wearing glasses uh um reading reading i didn't know you could read this line was completely improvised by tom felton who supposedly forgot his actual response jason isaacs who plays felton's fictional father lucius claims that improvisation was welcomed on set and that it often led to many great interactions they're an embarrassment to the wizarding world all of them number 10. dallas and cherry the outsiders the outsiders is a pretty heavy story but it is punctuated with moments of levity this is one of those moments while putting the moves on cherry dallas accidentally falls out of his chair and is laughed at by both ponyboy and sherry are you [Music] it real wonderfully within the context of the scene and it was also a total freak accident matt dillon actually fell out of his chair and the laughs from see thomas howell and diane lane were genuine in fact you can totally see how i'll glance off camera towards the crew presumably expecting the director to cut luckily they decided to keep rolling and lane can be seen trying to contain her laughter as dylan continues as planned how can i find out if this is your your real red hair number nine tablecloth trick how the grinch stole christmas if you're looking to impress people at a party you can never go wrong with this classic that is unless you do it wrong over those hoots inviting me down now on such short notice ripping a tablecloth off of a table without disrupting any of the place settings is an art form people work very hard at mastering this trick but what would i wear and here's jim carrey doing it flawlessly without even meaning to the script reportedly called for the grinch to simply yank the cloth off the table but carrie accidentally performed a flawless tablecloth trick in the process rather than just leaving it at that carrie ran back and cleared the table the old-fashioned way this is one of those unscripted moments that proved infinitely more entertaining than what the screenwriters called for number eight male models zoolander it seems like tom felton took a page out of ben stiller's book whenever you forget your line just make up something funny when derek zoolander asks david duchovny's jp pruitt why male models are being used as assassins pruitt embarks on a long and detailed explanation so why male models it seems like zoolander is understanding perfectly that is until pruitt finishes his explanation and zoolander asks the exact same question but why male models stiller had actually forgotten his next line and decided to just ask the question again duchovny rolled with stiller's ad-lib and improvised his own response to zoolander's dimwitted question you serious i just i just told you that a moment ago right number seven bart's laugh blazing saddles when you put clevon little and gene wilder on the screen together you get pure movie magic you're looking for this blazing saddles is widely regarded as one of the funniest movies ever made even though it is unapologetically vulgar and provocative you gotta remember that these are just simple farmers one of the funnier scenes involves wilder's character the waco kid talking about morons it's very obvious that little is desperately trying to contain a smile throughout the entire scene but wilder's moron's line proves too much and he breaks character with a genuine laugh the common clay of the new west you know morons it's weirdly warming to see such a genuine reaction from an actor comedy directors should leave character breaks like this one in the film more often number six bonk willy wonka and the chocolate factory speaking of gene wilder he intentionally messed with paris femen while filming the pure imagination sequence of willy wonka the children had been instructed not to pass gene wilder on the steps in so mike tv's look of regret and hesitation is very real but the movie's best mistake doesn't come from wilder but rather aubrey woods who plays bill the candyman separate the sorrow and collect up all the cream the candy man during the candyman song woods absolutely pegs a little girl in the chin while raising the counter the young actress visibly recoils from the brutal uppercut she's just received but she carries on and continues the scene as rehearsed what a pro number 5. farting the usual suspects farting plus a long day of shooting equals unstoppable giggles all right you all know the drill when your number is called step forward and repeat the phrase you've been given the famous lineup sequence from the usual suspects was supposed to be serious and dramatic but benicio del toro kept farting and cracking everyone up according to kevin pollock on the special edition dvd del toro had been farting for 12 straight takes and the actors were getting giddy number three step forward [Laughter] this reportedly infuriated director brian singer who was trying to film the sequence properly he'd lost all control of his actors and decided to just cut the scene in a humorous fashion by using a combination of the funniest takes the result was comedy gold tell me the keys [ __ ] in english please excuse me number four martin sheen breaks down apocalypse now i'm still only in saigon martin sheen had a hell of a time filming apocalypse now well with suffering a heart attack cutting his hand on a shard of glass and battling alcoholism the latter two can be seen during the famous sequence in which willard breaks down in his hotel room [Music] legend has it the chain got really drunk told the camera operators to roll and completely improvised the sequence himself he essentially had a nervous breakdown on screen and ended up punching a real mirror slicing his hand and bleeding all over the set in the process his behavior was allegedly so disturbing that everyone wanted to stop filming but sheen was adamant that he continue unopposed number three aragorn's pain the lord of the rings the two towers early in the two towers aragorn legolas and gimli searched the plains of middle-earth for mary and pippin it's one of them after meeting the rohirum they're led to believe that the hobbits were killed in the rohirum's massacre of the urukai aragorn kicks a helmet in frustration and falls to his knees screaming in fury and emotional agony aragorn's emotional agony was actually viggo mortensen's physical agony as he broke two toes kicking the prop helmet i thought wow this is strong i mean this is like aragorn is like just in total grief at that what's just happened to mary and pippen this is really cool ever the pro mortensen decided to remain in character and didn't even tell anyone he'd injured himself until it became obvious peter jackson loved mortensen's screams so much he used the take in the movie i mean viggo actually feeling that pain he actually turned that into performance number two stormtrooper box's head star wars episode iv a new hope when you wear a stormtrooper helmet you run the risk of low visibility and for one trooper at least bonking your head the identity of the stormtrooper remains disputed although it is believed to be either lori good or michael leader either way the blooper has become a famous piece of movie history and while it was initially overlooked george lucas has since acknowledged the gaffe in many ways in attack of the clones jango fett bumps his head on a clearance door and homage to the stormtrooper and in the 2004 re-release the bunking was given an audible sound effect [Music] apparently actors hitting their heads is quite common as gandalf hitting the wall in bilbo's hobbit hole was also unscripted before we unveil our top pick here are some honorable mentions terry crashes the moped american graffiti charles martin smith doesn't know what he's doing and crashes the moped and hathaway slips the princess diaries anne hathaway slips on the bleachers and falls straight on her butt number two you always have to look just right number three pc load letter office space david herman breaks the printer and looks around in genuine

stormtrooper bonking his head it's leonardo dicaprio's accident in django unchained while filming the dinner table confrontation dicaprio accidentally slammed his hand into stemmed glassware and sliced it open hey don't let your palm flat on that tabletop if you lift those palms off that turtle shell tabletop mr pooch is going to let loose both fails that start off ever the professional dicaprio didn't even flinch and continued the scene as planned it wasn't until later that he looked down at his hand to assess the damage and saw it covered in blood mr mogee would you be so kind as to collect the pistol hanging off these boys hips here after the scene cut dicaprio reportedly received a standing ovation by the cast and crew it was also he who had the idea of smearing blood on broom held his face although fake blood was used for the sequence what's it gonna be doc do you agree with our picks check out this other recent clip from watchmojo and be sure to subscribe and ring
