The Wizard Of Oz
Now, this unscripted line forever changed the course of not just the film, but the cultural references that followed. Hey, we’re talking about you Wicked! Seriously, when Judy Garland came up with the line, “I’ve got a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore,” the whole project changed. Bert Lahr, who played the Cowardly Lion said, “Before that, everyone on the project understood it was set in Kansas—certainly a very strange part of Kansas, but Kansas nonetheless. I think even Judy was surprised to hear herself saying those words, but as soon as she did, it made so much sense that we were all on board with setting the film in a magical foreign land.” The directors ordered rewrites and thus we have the magical land of Oz. The film was actually renamed from After The Tornado to what we now know as The Wizard of Oz.
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest
Actor Johnny Depp went deep into character to play the drunk but hysterical, Captain Jack Sparrow. Depp improvised a lot of his work on the films. During Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, there’s one particular part we need to point out. Captain Sparrow begins taunting Davy Jones by singing, “I got a jar of dirt!” As seen on Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley’s faces, they were genuinely confused and surprised. That’s because Deppp invented this nonsense on the spot, making this scene the iconic moment it became.
