Can You Believe These Iconic Movie Lines Were Actually Improvised?

Zoolander

It is hard to think of anyone who could have done justice to the main character from Zoolander. The 2001 comedy flick is on the list for the graveyard scene.

Right after David Duchovny delivers a monologue about male models as assassins, Stiller forgets his script and asks him why again. Duchovny played along and we have to say the scene fit the movie perfectly!

The Shining

Let us now talk about yet another Kubrick film: The Shining. There was something both mesmerizing and terrifying about seeing Jack Nicholson playing a character falling into insanity. Of course, the perfect example would be the line “Here’s Johnny!”

We all had to stifle screams when he delivered it right after he peered into the bathroom door crack, right? Fascinatingly, it was an off-the-cuff one-liner he came up with as an homage to The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.
