10 Iconic Sci-Fi Movie Moments That Were Totally Improvised

10. "Just Give Me My F*cking Phone Call" - Robocop

“Part man, part machine, all cop.”

Who else could boast this ingenious combination but Peter Weller in 1987’s Robocop? Don’t you dare say Joel Kinnaman. This sci-fi action rollercoaster is a powerhouse of the genre and, as such, has a slew of unforgettable scenes.

One such scene comes when crime lord Boddicker is captured and brought to the police station. Boddicker is escorted by Robocop into the station; he is marched up to the front desk where he spits out blood and exclaims that the police should “just give [him] [his] f*cking phone call.”

Not only does this perfectly encapsulate the antagonistic character of Boddicker, but it is one of the more memorable lines of the movie.

“Oh wow, what an awesome moment, surely no-one could’ve improvised that.” Wrong – it’s on this list so you bet this line was improvised. Actor Kurtwood Smith allegedly thought it would be a funny prank to catch his castmates off-guard with a glob of bloody spit.

The memorable line he says afterwards just came from him getting caught up in the moment. Who would have guessed?
