Now, we all know that the quality of a movie largely relies on the talents possessed by the screenplay writers. However, there are times when we can thank the actor for coming up with genius lines instead! The reality is that many of the most legendary scenes in the history of film had been delivered off-the-cuff. Find out if your favorite scene was the result of improvisation!

The Fugitive

You probably remember this nerve-wracking scene from The Fugitive. As Harrison Ford has a gun pointed at Tommy Lee Jones at the end of a thrilling chase, he claims he did not murder his wife. Jones only responded with, “I don’t care.” Apparently, he was meant to say “That isn’t my problem”, but Jones changed it for more impact.

Midnight Cowboy

We enjoyed watching Midnight Cowboy and we bet you did too. However, you probably did not know that a taxi driver almost crashed into Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voight on set! This is actually why Hoffman smacked the taxi and yelled at the cabbie, “I’m walking here!”
