The director loved it, so they kept it in the script. At least that is my understanding.
How about you, television or movies, post your stories of improvisation that was not in an original script that ended in the final cut. And no, I am not talking about late night shows or things like Saturday Night Live. Just scripted sitcoms, or scripted movies.
Not quite.
Harrison had come down with stomach distress and was simply too worn out and tired to go by the script.
He improved the shooting.
The hero is the stuntman David Richards, who reacted flawlessly to the improv.
