9 Movie Bloopers You Didn’t Spot In The Final Cut
1. The Near Miss With A Taxi - Midnight Cowboy
By far the most famous line in Midnight Cowboy comes when Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voigt almost end up beneath the wheels of a taxi on a New York street. "I'm walking here," yells Hoffman's Ratso Rizzo, and an endlessly quotable catchphrase was born.
That catchphrase was entirely the result of a blooper, because there was no near-collision with a taxi in the script, thoigh you'd never know it. The driver almost hit the actors during a location shoot and prompted a genuine reaction from Hoffman.
Voigt looks on in surprise, but his co-star thought on his feet and turned the gaffe into scene that would become arguably more famous than the movie itself.
