Iconic Movie Moments That Became Better With Famous Lines Not In The Script

‘You Talkin’ to Me?’

In the movie “Taxi Driver” from 1976, there’s this really famous line spoken by Robert De Niro. He says, “You talkin’ to me?” But here’s the thing, that line wasn’t in the script. The script just said De Niro’s character, Bickle, talks to himself in front of a mirror. So, De Niro came up with the line all on his own.

This unplanned moment turned into one of the most famous lines in movie history. It’s a great example of how a talented actor can make something up and create a moment that sticks with people for a long time. It’s like leaving an imprint. Magical.
