What are some interesting unscripted scenes or shots that you know of that were left in the final cut of the film?

The "I'm walkin here" moment in Midnight Cowboy gets brought up alot. Though apparently there's some debate about how much of it was truly unscripted. LINK /

The most jaw dropping has to be Tora Tora Tora after a stunt plane loses its propeller and crashes into a bunch of parked planes, sending a bunch of stuntmen literally running for their lives.

I feel like one that will immediately come to everyone’s mind is DiCaprio slicing his hand in Django and then carrying on as if it happened, but whatever.

The toe in the bottle scene in “Life” wasn’t scripted. That was all Eddie and Martin.

The T-Rex crashing through the sunroof of the jeep in Jurassic Park was a malfunction of the giant prop. The reaction you see of the kids' hands and feet going up to catch the plexiglass is 100% real. They added a couple of POV shots after because Spielberg liked the take so much.

Everyone was laughing during the police lineup scene in Usual Suspects because Benecio Del Toro kept farting.

At the beginning of Apocalypse Now, Martin Sheen punches a mirror and slices his hand on the glass.

Apparently Sheen was wasted during the filming of that scene.

As far as stunts go... The Road Warrior frick up is maybe the craziest ever caught in modern film:






The stuntman's legs were not supposed to catch on the car. That's not some crazy wire work... That's flipping actually happened and damn near killed the guy.

Miller left it in the movie because it's so unbeleivebale. It almost looks fake it's so insane.



quote:

The stuntman—Guy Norris—was not supposed to bounce his legs off the car. Unfortunately, upon impact, the car rose into the air and met Norris’ legs full-on. The poor man had just recovered from a previous leg injury and this particular incident bent the steel pin in his leg 20 degrees in the wrong direction. A slow playback of the scene actually shows his leg at an unnatural angle.



The motorcycle stunt from Thx 1138 is right there, too.. Stuntman came in way too hot on the crash and then this happened:

Vic Morrow was killed, along with 2 children while they were being filmed in Twilight Zone the movie. Vic and a child were decapitated by a crashing helicopter and the helicopter landed on another child.

They left a lot of the scene in the movie.
