The Terminator

Back to James Cameron, with his movie, The Terminator. Just one small little thing that Cameron allowed to stay in the final cut, despite being unscripted, became inseparable from the film. Back when Arnold Schwarzenegger goes to the police station, the script only read that the cyborg should leave, disappointed. Well, it was the actor himself, Schwarzenegger, who added in, “I’ll be back.” Sure enough, Cameron love the line and ended up including what was intended to be just a minor character in the rest of the movie and sequels.

Citizen Kane

Citizen Kane is the father of all films. It defined the entire film industry. Yes, Orson Welles not only directed and wrote the movie, but he starred in the movie, too. Thus, it’s understandable that with so much on his plate he butchered his opening line in the film. Instead of saying, “No, my sled…” Orson Welles said, “Rosebud.” Of course, the genius that Welles was, he recognized the tension and overall intrigue this line brought. The rest was history.
