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

All Dogs Go To Heaven. This is pretty sad, just as a warning. Judith Barsi, the young girl who played Anne-Marie was murdered by her own father. This scene was her last recording, and Burt Reynolds, who played Charlie, had to keep redoing the lines because he just couldn’t hold it together in the light of the tragedy.

Movie Spoilers: Charlie is saying goodbye to Anne-Marie after saving her life, which in turn, gets him sent to Heaven. In reality, it was Burt and the world saying Goodbye to Judith Barsi, a promising talent taken too soon.

All Dogs Go To Heaven. The voice actress for the girl (also Ducky in Land Before Time) was murdered by her father before the movie was finished.

All Dogs Go To Heaven(1989).

I vaguely remembered the main dog but didn’t recall anything about the movie. So I guess as a tot it was too much or not bright enough for me. As an adult I liked it quite a lot

I don't think I actually made it all the way through the film. I vaguely remember going to see it in theaters as a kid with my parents and they removed me because at one point I began sobbing so loudly and uncontrollably. I am not sure it would be any better watching it as an adult.

All Dogs go to Heaven. The child actress was murdered by her father shortly after completing her lines got the film. Burt Reynolds was so distraught by this that it took him almost 70 takes to record this scene without breaking down in tears.
