Guest Frandsen08 Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 The opening scene is fantastic. "Please may I have another glass of your delicious milk?" Top notch actor that fella. Did he get an Oscar for his role? If not, he should've. "meanwhile in Nazi occupied france" he certainly did. brilliant performance. Quote

If not, he should've. aye, best supporting actor came across this earlier 50 Greatest Improvised Movie Scenes http://www.totalfilm.com/features/50-greatest-improvised-movie-scenes/inception-2010 some surprises in there, had no idea these were improvised (the last one there being most impressive): 22. Goodfellas (1990) The Improvisation: ?That?s funny, you?re a funny guy,? chuckles Henry Hill (Ray Liotta), having just listened to a story told by Tommy DeVito (Joe Pesci). ?What do you mean funny? The way I talk?? demands DeVito. ?Funny how?? What Was In The Script: The entire scene was improvised between Pesci and Liotta based on a real-life incident that happened when Pesci told a none-too-pleased gangster that he was funny. None of the other actors in the scene knew what was going to happen. 7. Raiders Of The Lost Ark (1981) The Improvisation: A swordsman all in black whips out his blade and prepares to dice Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) into sushi. Barely even moving a muscle, Indy whips out a pistol and shoots the show-off dead. What Was In The Script: Indy was meant to engage in a massive sword fight with the blade-wielding antagonist, but when Ford came down with debilitating food poisoning the day before the shoot, the actor asksd if the scene could be altered to be less strenuous. The result is arguably far better than scripted. 2. Full Metal Jacket (1987) The Improvisation: R. Lee Ermey?s experience as a real drill sergeant came in handy for Kubrick?s war flick. Nearly every single insulting, caterwauled line that Earney delivered was of his own devising ? including the classic: ?I?ll bet you?re the kind of guy that would fuck a person in the ass and not even have the goddamn common courtesy to give him a reach-around.? What Was In The Script: According to Kubrick, 50% of the insults that Earney delivered were his own. Meaning this one?s half and half. Quote

Guest Frandsen08 Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 cheers zico i love these ones 4. The Shining (1980) The Improvisation: ?Heeeere?s Johnny!? As Jack Nicholson busts through a bathroom door with an axe, he borrows that line from the Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson and turns it into a total blood-chiller. What Was In The Script: The scene, naturally, was scripted, but Nicholson?s moment of improvisational genius was all his own. think jules will like this 3. Star Wars: Episode V ? The Empire Strikes Back (1980) The Improvisation: Han Solo is about to get frozen in carbonite by the evil Darth Vader. Seizing her moment, Princess Leia finally confesses her feelings for the rogue, telling him: ?I love you.? Solo?s iconic reply: ?I know.? What Was In The Script: ?I love you, too,? was Han?s schmaltzy scripted response. Needless to say that what Ford came up with trumps it completely ? even if George Lucas initially hated it. i like this from IMDB about the departed and Jack Nicholson Many scenes with Jack Nicholson were improvised. Nicholson was given the opportunity to do whatever he wanted to add to the character's unpredictability. The scene where Billy and Frank are talking was loosely scripted, and many surprises happened in it, including Frank pulling out the gun. The scene where Frank Costello throws cocaine on hookers was one of many bizarre ideas contributed by Jack Nicholson, who also suggested wearing a strap-on for the scene with Matt Damon in the porn theater.

Always had a thing about Han Solo, and thought that was proper cool. Sadly I still go for cocky twats Quote

Matt Lofthouse Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 The opening scene is fantastic. "Please may I have another glass of your delicious milk?" Top notch actor that fella. Did he get an Oscar for his role? If not, he should've. I picked up on loads of little things when i watched it again the other night. When he meets up with the French lass and Joseph Goebbels in the restaurant he orders her a glass of milk. Brilliant character and an excellent film. Quote

When he meets up with the French lass and Joseph Goebbels in the restaurant he orders her a glass of milk. Brilliant character and an excellent film. thats one thing am still undecided on - does he know it's her from the start, theres a suggestion he does, but no reason as to why he would - and if he did know, surely he'd have shopped her there and then Quote
