10 Movie Mistakes That Made Films Better

Filming a movie requires a lot of hard work by hundreds of people. The actors may make it look easy, but that's only because their talent ensures they can deliver a line in a meaningful and appropriate manner. That being said, they do have to memorize a ton of dialogue, which is why they sometimes forget what they need to say.

In most cases, they break character and the scene is picked back up after someone lets them know what their next line is. It happens all the time and it isn't really a problem so long as they can get back to where they were and say what their character is supposed to say.

Sometimes, an actor will remain in character and redeliver the same line hoping to spark that memory to get to where they need to be, which usually doesn't get thrown into the final cut of the film. For Ben Stiller and David Duchovny's scene in Zoolander, the director found their take so funny, it made it to the final cut.

This was the most crucial moment of the film when Duchovny's JP Prewett reveals the plot involving turning male models into assassins. Zoolander asks, "So why male models" and receives the explanation that "they don't think for themselves and do as they're told."

In perfect form and timing, Stiller forgot his next line so he simply repeated his last, which played perfectly with what Duchovny had just said. The gaff was kept in and remains one of the funniest moments in the movie.
