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.”

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.

This classic moment of Han Solo is actually one that was improvised.

He says: “My name’s Forrest Gump. People call me Forrest Gump”.

They thought it was so perfect for the character they kept it in.

Apparently, Anthony Hopkins just hissed out of nowhere. Remember that scene where he’s telling Clarice about all his crimes?
Her reaction to his hiss is genuine because she had no idea it was coming.
“I’m King Of The World!”
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.

“Ah… Houston, we have a problem”
During this scene in Scream , Matthew Lillard actually realized that the gun was missing for the first time.
So, he threw this line in and it made it into the final cut.
Tony Stark Snacking
Apparently, the director had a hard time with Robert Downey Jr. snacking while he was on set, so every scene where Tony Stark is eating something was unscripted.
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.
The Orange Scene In ‘Rocky’
The film had a pretty low budget, so they couldn’t afford extras.
So, when Rocky is running through the town and a man throws him an orange, that wasn’t planned at all.
The Joker Clapping
A wonderful bit of improv that made the Joker all the scarier was when Jim Gordon was promoted and Heath Ledger’s Joker just clapped along.
Truly terrifying and it wasn’t even in the script!
