  1. In generell, i like the Mojos list, but Top 10 improvised Movie moments and taxi driver is missing? That is a no go.

  2. He didn’t smear real blood on her, although he did cut his hand. The scene cuts at some point after and Tarantino saw an opportunity and used it. They used fake blood for the remainder not nearly as interesting a story as smearing real blood, but that’s how it is.

    “When Leonardo DiCaprio’s character Calvin Candie smashes his hand on the dinner table, the actor accidentally crushed a small stemmed glass with his palm and really began to bleed. DiCaprio ignored it, stayed in character, and continued with the scene. Tarantino was so impressed that he used this take in the final print, and when he called cut, the room erupted in a standing ovation. DiCaprio’s hand was bandaged and he suggested the idea of smearing blood onto the face of Kerry Washington. Tarantino and Washington both liked this, so Tarantino got some fake blood together.”

  3. The Color Purple: Didn’t Oprah improvise the scene at the dinner table when she shares the story about seeing Miss Celie at the grocery store?
