Midnight Cowboy
This is a pretty understated bit of improvisation, though it posed a real danger to the actors Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voight at the time! While they were shooting a scene for Midnight Cowboy, a taxi almost hit them. Luckily, they walked away scot-free but not without Hoffman shouting, “I’m walking here!” first. Even though they closed off the area, the taxi somehow walked straight into the scene.

Ghost
We all know that Whoopi Goldberg is a talented woman and we’re glad she was recognized by the Academy for her performance in Ghost. If there was an award for improv, she should’ve won it as well. She played the psychic in the movie and came up with the warning, “Molly, you in danger, girl!” all by herself. Impressive!
