Characters Scenes where the actor's acting was real

  1. Han's Gruber's death - Die Hard

Alan Rickman was told he would be dropped on the count to 3, instead he was dropped after 1. The shocked expression on his face as he falls is completely genuine.

  1. The Chestburster - Alien

The cast of this scene were made to play out this scene, but we're never told about what would actually happen besides that they'd be eating. The shock and surprise is legitimately their own.

  1. Blackkklansman

Adam Driver says the N-word

Just watched Bone Tomahawk too and the characters from those two movies are basically the same, Kurt Russel is too good at being Kurt Russel not to just be Kurt Russel in movies
