Denzel Washington improvised the famous “King Kong ain’t got shit on me” monologue at the end of Training Day. But according to Ethan Hawke, the performance was the culmination of months of preparation. Hawke explains:
“We would be doing ride-arounds in the back of these cop cars, watching these arrests or talking to some of these people who really lived the life that we were doing, and they would say something really funny. And I would just see Denzel glance at me, and I realized, ‘Oh shit, that just went in the computer.’
And then it would come out in a scene two months later—that line that that guy said...
When people say ‘improvised,’ they think, ‘Oh, just some magic lightning bolt happened.’ It’s months of work. He’s just supposed to yell, ‘Fuck you,’ or something as I’m walking away, and this monologue flew out of his mouth:
‘You’re gonna be playing for the Pelican Bay All-Stars. This is my neighborhood. Y’all just live here. King Kong ain’t got nothing on me.’
It was all his prep.
Here’s a line that didn’t make the movie. Here’s another line that didn’t make the movie. Here’s another thing I wanted to say.’ And he just started throwing them all out there.
To just be there that day, to watch somebody working on a different level than everybody else… he was amazing. Amazing.”
In 2004, Jamie Foxx had his eyes glued shut with prosthetic eyelids for 14 hours a day to play Ray Charles. He had panic attacks. He called it: “Like being in a coffin alive.” He lost 30 pounds and played every piano scene himself. He won the Oscar, without seeing cameras roll

They already know that thing is basically unstoppable with regular weapons, but nobody is just gonna stand there and do nothing. Terminator 2 really understood how to make an unstoppable villain terrifying.

Jim Carey hes been in many great and funny movies. At one point everything he touched turned into a hit. This one here was by far my favorite. It took split personality disorder and made it fun. If you haven't seen Me, Myself, and Irene do yourself a favor and look it up. 🤣🤣🤣
