The Shining
Again, we’ve got a Kubrick classic with The Shining, adapted from the Stephen King novel. Seeing Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson) delve into insanity while working as a winter caretaker in an isolated hotel was chilling. Now, this thriller had tons of memorable moments, but we’re talking about the part where Jack axes the door to get to his wife and son. Just as Jack peered into the bathroom in the crack he made, Nicholson adjusted his line to, “Heeere’s Jonny!” Nicholson used this as a little tribute to The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.
Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back
Yet, again, we’ve got Harrison Ford with his role as Han Solo in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. Right when Solo is giving himself over, he shares one last moment with his love, Leia. Besides their emotional kiss, she tells him, “I love you,” but Ford didn’t think his scripted response of “I love you too,” felt authentic. Thus, Ford added in something that felt more true to his character, “I know.”
