* In the Disney Channel Original Movie ''Camp Rock'', starring Music/TheJonasBrothers, the character of Shane, played by Joe Jonas, falls in a bush while running. According to Demi Lovato, the fall was real.

* In the ''Film/{{Transformers}}'' series Creator/MichaelBay is known for encouraging improvisation among the actors, which led to Creator/StevenSpielberg talking to the cast saying he would be looking at the dailies and saying "That's not in the script." Apparently in the first film, the reason Mikaela was mostly looking away from Sam while he was driving her home is that Creator/ShiaLaBeouf improvised this long line of dialogue where she wouldn't recognize him because he lost 100 pounds at fat camp and the friends he met there have died from diabetes. Creator/MeganFox could not keep a straight face.

** While filming the lunch scene outside the chicken coop, the actor who plays Farmer Lyle, unaware the camera is still rolling, makes an offhand comment about finding a couple of Shoshone arrowheads in a creek bed. It was so authentic that director Creator/Jared Hess decided to keep it in the final cut.

* In ''Film/TheHatefulEight'', there's a scene in which Creator/KurtRussell takes a guitar that Creator/JenniferJasonLeigh had been playing and smashes it against a wall, destroying it. The guitar Leigh had been playing in the scene was a genuine antique guitar that was over a century old, that had been lent to the production. The antique guitar was supposed to be swapped out for a breakable prop before Russell smashed it. Russell, apparently having not been informed of this, grabbed the antique from Leigh's hands and smashed it. Leigh's shocked yelling in the scene is genuine.

** When the entire Thrombey family are yelling at Creator/AnaDeArmas' character, angry that [[spoiler:she was named the sole inheritor of their late patriarch's estate]], Creator/JaedenMartell reportedly improvised the following insult: "You had sex with my grandpa, you dirty anchor-baby!" line. It was initially lost in the chaos of the scene, but Michael Shannon happened to hear it and informed Rian Johnson, who reshot Martell's line in closeup so that it would be heard.

* There's a scene in ''Film/KnivesOut'' where the entire Thrombey family are yelling at Creator/AnaDeArmas' character, angry that [[spoiler: she was named the sole inheritor of their late patriarch's estate]], and Creator/JaedenMartell - who plays an alt-right internet {{troll}} - improvised the line [[spoiler: "You had sex with my grandpa, you dirty anchor-baby!"]] This would have been lost in the shouting had Creator/MichaelShannon not brought it to the attention of director Creator/RianJohnson, who decided to reshoot Martell's line in closeup so that it would be heard.

* In the original 1962 ''Literature/TheManchurianCandidate'', the scene where [[spoiler: Major Marco overrides Sgt. Shaw's brainwashing by showing him an entire deck of queens of diamonds]] has Major Marco slightly out of focus. Creator/JohnFrankenheimer later claimed to have heard theories this was done intentionally to show Marco from Shaw's hazy, brainwashed point of view. In fact, it was a technical glitch. They had tried to reshoot the scene with the camera in focus, but according to Frankenheimer, Frank Sinatra's performance was at its best in the first, out-of-focus take, and it deteriorated in take after take. In the end, they decided to use the take with the best performance, out of focus or no.

--->'''Snyder:''' [[EnforcedTrope I always say, 'Show me something I didn't think of]]', and that’s what happened here. For me, it just helped make the movie bigger.

* ''Film/TheFlash2023'': Creator/MichaelKeaton revealed that he improvised the moment where Bruce uttered ''[[Film/Batman1989 "You wanna get nuts? Let's get nuts."]]''

* In the BlaxploitationParody ''Film/BlackDynamite'', there is a scene where some men in black suits are shooting at Black Dynamite and a man in a large jelly doughnut costume from the car. As they pull up in the car and begin shooting, the car begins rolling away because the actor ''forgot to enable the parking brake''. He got it eventually, but the shot was kept in because it fit in with the rest of the movie's intentional "Throw it In"s.

* ''Film/{{Caine}}'' was supposed to be about smuggling. When a stuntman was killed by a shark, it was retitled ''Shark'' and recut as an animal attack movie.

* ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol3'': The part where Quill tells Nebula he never noticed how black her eyes were was improv by Chris Pratt. James Gunn then came with her answer, "They were replaced by my father as a method of torture." To which Chris Pratt improvised, "He... he picked... a pretty set."

** Dr. Serizawa's final words in ''Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters2019'' ("[[spoiler:''Goodbye, old friend'']]")[[spoiler:[[note]]Spoken to Godzilla as Serizawa commits a HeroicSacrifice to save Godzilla's life so that the latter can save the world from King Ghidorah[[/npte]]]] were scripted in English, but Creator/KenWatanabe said it in Japanese instead at the table, and Michael Dougherty was so impressed that he immediately decided to incorporate this.

* ''Many'' things were ad-libbed or kept in for ''Film/TheRoom'', particularly as production dragged on and the crew lost all enthusiasm, thinking the film would never be screened. For instance, the "hospital on Guerrero Street" was improvised by Greg Sestero because this was the location of Creator/TommyWiseau's condo in San Francisco. Naturally, Wiseau was furious because any info about him is super-secret. However, it was kept in because that was their best take. Sestero lists more instances in his memoir ''Literature/TheDisasterArtist'', including the origin of the framed spoons.

* In the roulette scene of ''Film/RunLolaRun'', an initial take was filmed of the wheel spinning and the ball being dropped, with the intention of later editing it together with a staged shot of the ball landing on twenty to complete the scene and win her the money she needed. The ball landed on twenty in the first take.

** After Veruca goes down the garbage chute, Mr. Salt nervously fiddles with Wonka's bow tie, who returns the gesture by adjusting Mr. Salt's necktie. This was ad-libbed by Roy Kinnear and Gene Wilder.

** In ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade'', Henry Jones Sr. saying she suspected Elsa because "She talks in her sleep" was improvised by Creator/SeanConnery.

* Creator/RobertDowneyJr does the same thing, especially in the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse movies as [[Film/IronMan Tony Stark]], where he ad-libs a lot of his lines to play up the character's arrogant bravado. In fact, Tony outing himself as Iron Man was unscripted.

* In ''Film/GhostRider,'' the first scene with Creator/NicolasCage as Johnny Blaze, a professional daredevil, has him failing a jump. During the fall, the front wheel of his motorcycle smashes into his helmet, breaking the visor of the helmet. This was not intentional, and the stuntman really did take a tire to the face. However, when the stuntman saw the footage of the crash, he thought it looked good, so they decided to leave it intact.

** Creator/TomHolland improvised the entirety of Spider-Man's final scene on the spot. [[spoiler:This includes the line "Mr. Stark, I don't feel so good..." which become a minor MemeticMutation in its own right.]]

* In the BlaxploitationParody ''Film/BlackDynamite'', there is a scene where some men in black suits are shooting at Black Dynamite and a man in a large jelly doughnut costume from the car. As they pull up in the car and begin shooting, the car begins rolling away because the actor ''forgot to enable the parking brake''. He got it eventually, but the shot was kept in because fit in with the rest of the movie's intentional "Throw it In"s.
