Yes folks, apparently these were good enough to be kept in the final product.
Whether it was because of a certain reaction, or a good improvised line, these bloopers made it into the movie.
Bradley Cooper’s Fake Baby
Sometimes in movies, you don’t want to use newborns because, well, newborns can be difficult to work with (psh, divas).
So, sometimes you decide to use fake babies. They did that in American Sniper . Unfortunately the baby… was too fake.
You can clearly tell that is a doll.
The Barbecue Scene In ‘Fast & Furious 6’
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson said something so funny during this scene it made Chris Bridges spit out his drink and Tyrese Gibson was speechless.

To which Dwayne replies: “You’d better hide that big forehead.”

“But why male models?”
Everyone remembers this scene, when Derek Zoolander asks the question once, David Duchovny’s character launches into a long spiel, and then Zoolander repeats the same question.
It was because Stiller forgot his line.
Flag Flying Away
There’s a scene in The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers , where Eowyn is looking off into the distance when a flag flies away.
It wasn’t meant to be like that, but visually and metaphorically it worked, so they kept it in.

He came back with: “Oh there you go, you got your cream and your sugar now.”

That wasn’t supposed to happen, one of the extras just got drunk.
The Balloons And The Fish
There’s a scene from You’ve Got Mail where Tom Hanks’ character is exiting the bookstore when one of the balloons he’s holding gets caught in the door.
He comes back in, ad-libs: “It’s great it wasn’t the fish”, giving us a really funny blooper they kept in.

That’s right, the most iconic line from Titanic wasn’t at all scripted. After trying a couple of lines that didn’t work, James Cameron himself told Leo just to say “I’m King Of The World!” and to really sell it.
The rest, as they say, is history.
Laughing During ‘The Usual Suspects’
The scene where they’re all laughing was supposed to be a serious one. In fact, the director kept getting mad because they kept cracking up.

They just had to make it part of his character.
The Sword Fight In ‘Raiders Of The Lost Ark’
We all remember that scene where Indiana Jones shoots the sword-wielding expert.
Well, that only happened because Harrison Ford was so sick that day he couldn’t do the actual scene: an intense sword duel.
