10 Movie Mistakes That Made Films Better

In most cases, a police lineup scene is a serious affair. The cops bring in a suspect alongside other people pretending to be bad guys and await the dreaded finger pointing out who committed the crime. There is hardly room for laughter and they never lineup a room full of crooks. Of course, that's not how things went down in The Usual Suspects.

Originally, the scene was supposed to be serious and each actor was meant to read the line, “Hand me the keys, you f**king c**ksucker” with all the grace and aplomb you would expect from such hardened professional actors. As it happened, they all giggled like schoolboys, which didn't make Director Bryan Singer happy... at first.

What made it to the final cut of the film was hardly serious and there's a familiar reason why: flatulence! It's amazing how many scenes have been ruined/improved by something so mundane as passing gas, but the line-up scene in The Usual Suspects is a perfect example of making a fart work.

While they were shooting the scene in the relatively small space, Benicio del Toro "farted, like 12 takes in a row." The guys did what guys do in such a situation, they laughed like little kids and delivered their lines in silly, over-the-top ways, which is exactly what made it to the final cut of the film.
