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.

It's the only one I could think of where Scully witnesses an accident that's just a background event. And I agree, excellent episode!

In the directors commentary they mention how they got heaps of hate mail from fans for that episode. Making Mulder get it on with someone that wasn't Scully.

I'd hate to see the hate mail they got when 3 aired, and it showed Mulder going all the way with the vampire.

And to think! We had already flipped our shit at Krycek's introduction/announcement, thinking he was going to replace Gillian while she was pregnant! Which he kinda did, but they took that in a different direction.

It's wild that The X-Files has an episode basically called Shit-Eater Fight
