Famous Movie Lines That Were Actually Improvised

The Shining

Wouldn’t you know it…another Stanley Kubrick film! This one, The Shining, helped really put Jack Nicholson on the map as an iconic star as he perfectly portrayed Jack Torrance’s descent into madness during a stay at a spectacularly creepy motel.

Once Jack has completely lost it, he breaks open the door to a motel room where his family is hiding with an axe.

Sticking his face in, he memorably says, “Here’s Johnny!” The line was actually improvised.
