10 Hilarious Bloopers That Made Their Movies Better
Jacob Geller
We are taught from a very young age that some of the greatest inventions and discoveries
throughout history came from people making mistakes or stumbling on things by chance.
As it turns out, the world of cinema is no exception from this rule and some of the greatest
and most iconic movie moments are the results of mistakes � or as they are better known,
bloopers.
These unplanned moments cause actors and filmmakers to react instinctually and sometimes the resulting
product is some of the most realistic and enjoyable content of the whole film.
Improvisation and ad-lib dialogue is often used in comedic movies and shows but you�ll
be happy to see some huge names from action and drama-based movies popping up on this
list.
Let�s take a look at some of best unplanned movie moments with our list of 10 Hilarious
Bloopers That Made Their Movies Better.
Guardians Of The Galaxy With media buzz starting to pick up for 2017�s
hotly anticipated Guardians Of The Galaxy 2, we thought it was only appropriate to reflect
on one of the great unplanned moments from the original movie.
Fans of Parks and Recreation already know that Chris Pratt is a gift improvisers but
this movie proved that he can also react to actual accidents, like when Pratt straight
up dropped the orb by accident and then used the clumsy mistake to add to his Peter Quill
character.
Director James Gunn has confirmed that Chris Pratt really did drop the orb by accident,
but stayed in character and finished the shot, a professional movie that we are sure Gunn
appreciated.
Chris Pratt is amazing in the franchise and is one of main reasons that Marvel�s Guardians
Of The Galaxy was such a cosmic hit!
Django Unchained Quentin Tarantino�s western Django Unchained
was one of the few movies to put Leonardo DiCaprio in a supporting role, the actor is
used to being the center of attention, so leave it to Leo to have the craziest behind
the scenes story from the film.
During the movie�s climactic dinner scene, Leo� character Calvin Candie�s erupts
with anger that ends in the breaking of glass, bone and a lot of blood.
The crazy part however, is that the injury was completely unplanned.
The other actors and the filmmakers were stunned as Leo just decided to use the real pain,
continue acting and deliver an amazing performance.
You can even watch as the actor picks the glass from his hand once his speech is over,
a moment truly more painful then a lot of viewers realized.
Rain Man World class movie stars Dustin Hoffman and
Tom Cruise are absolutely amazing in the 1988 drama Rain Man.
There are some very memorable scenes from this movie, but as it turns out, one of the
most hilariously weird moments came from unintended circumstances.
When the pair are squeezed into a phone booth, Hoffman�s character takes things from bad
to worse, as he begins to far in the cramped space.
It turns out Cruise�s reactions are completely genuine as Hoffman was truly passing gas,
making Cruise�s in character reactions to the flatulence even more awesome.
The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers In the Lord Of Ring trilogy, seasoned actor
Viggo Mortensen plays Aragorn brilliantly.
The role is iconic and he is at the center of many of the most amazing and fan favorite
moments from the franchise.
But you may not know about the painful blooper of his that actually ended up in the final
cut.
During filming for The Two Towers, Mortensen broke two toes filming the scene where he
kicks the helmet by the pyre, thinking Marry and Pippen were dead.
Because of his realistic cry of anguish after kicking the helmet and breaking his toes,
Peter Jackson chose that take to include in the movie.
Mortensen was alright and the scene looked great, so it seems that this painful blooper
was worth it in the name of cinema!
Star Wars: A New Hope Star Wars is an absolutely world wide phenomenon.
There is nothing in the films that fans have analyzed and obsessed over and this unplanned
moment is no different.
In a scene where a group of Stormtroopers are going through a doorway, an unfortunate
Stormtrooper on the right hits his head on the top of the doorway.
The audible bump paired with the actor trying to inconspicuously make his way through the
doorway has made fans laugh for years.
Given that George Lucas obviously wanted these guys to look menacing and evil, it is perhaps
shocking that this scene wasn�t reshot and was instead kept in the final film.
We, along with many other fans, are happy that he did as it provides a fun in-joke for
true fans to rejoice over together and has become a well known part of Star Wars fandom.
Mission: Impossible 2 Fans of action movies will be quick to tell
you all about the amazing real stunts that leading man has performed for his action flicks.
Amazing stunts like scaling a building and hanging off a plane take immense preparation
before shooting.
But, did you know that when filming the final fight in Mission: Impossible 2, Tom Cruise
almost had a stunt go very wrong as a swinging a knife stopped just millimetres from his
eyeball.
As some sort of bizarre repayment, his fellow stuntman told Cruise to go all out on the
final kick of the sequence, and boy did he ever � planting his foot squarely on his
partner�s jaw.
All of this real life action made it easy for director John Woo to use the shot, after
he made sure his star wasn�t blind of course.
Terminator 2: Judgment Day Superstar Arnold Schwarzenegger may be more
acclaimed for his action skills than his comedy chops these days, but in the role of The Terminator,
the actor could do no wrong on both fronts.
The body builder turned actor turned politician even tried his hand at a little improv.
When his battle with the more powerful T-1000 in the movie�s sequel left him severely
damaged and losing limbs, he still was somehow able to come to John Connor�s rescue.
In the script, the Terminator had no line to speak after saving John, with the stage
direction simply indicating that Arnold would be �looking like he needs a vacaction.�
After filming the scene several times, Arnold decided to give the director a laugh, turning
his description into the now famous line �I Need A Vacation�.
Maybe this was Arnold�s sneaky way of letting the film crew know that he was tired of filming
for the day or maybe Arnold has a future as a writer.
Either way, the line made the final film and fans have loved it ever since!
Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring All of the movies in the Lord of the Rings
trilogy seem to have ended with a massive war, but in the trilogy�s first film, a
fight between Strider and an Uruk-hai leader was far more dangerous than audiences realized.
During the fight, the orc actor was supposed to throw a stunt knife past actor leading
man Viggo Mortensen, who was planning to simply dodge out of the way.
But when the scene was filmed, the knife slipped from the stuntman�s hand flying directly
at Mortensen�s face.
At this moment the actor�s combat training kicked in as he thankfully reacted by knocking
the blade out of the air with his own sword.
This moment was so epic that Peter Jackson decided to leave it in the final film and
you can even see fragments of the broken knife flying through the air.
Midnight Cowboy Midnight Cowboy features of the most infamous
and quote bloopers in movie history.
Dustin Hoffman�s character, Ratso Rizzo�s catchphrase (I�m walking here!) in Midnight
Cowboy was completely unplanned.
This golden blooper came to life while the crew covertly filmed actors Dustin Hoffman
and Jon Voigt on a New York street and a real life taxi nearly hit them.
Throughout the years, the actors have maintained that the moment was completely unplanned and
that the now famous line was simply Hoffman�s in character reaction.
We know that New York City taxi cabs can be dangerous but we have to thank those little
yellow cars for helping to create a truly memorable movie moment.
The Avengers The Avengers movies are some of the most famous
and high profile films in the world.
With an enormous cast and an even bigger crew it would seem that every last details of the
film would need to be planned out in order to maintain some kind of order.
Unfortunately, all the planning in the world doesn�t account for Robert Downey Jr�s
snacking addiction.
Reports from the set have said that RDJ was constantly eating during the movies filming
and that he would even hide snacks on the set to eat between and during takes.
After numerous attempted to get the Iron Man actor to stop, the film makers just decided
to let it be part of his character�s charm.
As it turns out, this blooper is why you can see Tony Stark snacking all over The Avengers
headquarters.
So there�s our list of unplanned movie bloopers that ended up making their movies better.
