He also does a crazy good John Malkovich impression, which I can't really find any examples of, but he does do a little bit of it when playing an italian talk show host whose interviewing John Malkovich in this, kind of insane, clip

How'd they get John Malkovich into their video game review?

Amazing testimony.
What's harder to believe, 9/11 or that the leading CIA asset for Iraq and whatever else was delusional?
I could believe that Hobo john malkovich was delusional, however.
*promote and thank you!

...and John Malkovich lends a respectable credibility to the proceedings.

Good call. on 22) If you'll remember they did it in both movies. That said, I wonder if both of them were improvised.>> ^Boise_Lib:

22) says 40 Year Old Virgin--the movie is Knocked Up.
18) says Tootsie--the movie is Stripes (I think, it's been a long time).
08) Annie Hall--can you really call it improvisation when Woody Allen wrote the movie?
I've also heard what @quantumushroom said about Being John Malkovich.
I love picking movies (and videos about movies) apart.
Thanks, Grimm

Now that I've watched the WHOLE thing. A lot of those were scripted, at least in part. Many of them the actor went beyond the scripted action/dialogue, but they were still scripted, not pure ad-lib.

"You talkin' to me?" Is a good example. DeNiro was actually practising his lines, trying it out all the different ways to see what worked best, they decided to just film the whole thing because it worked so well.

Still, Malkovich scene, totally scripted, there are plenty of scripts out there, look it up for yourself.

Being John Malkovich was scripted. We've been through this before.

The Malkovich thing was staged, I overheard some nerds on the intarwebs.

Bonus useless: Full Metal Jacket. Kubrick didn't know what a "reacharound" was.

It's also interesting that this is one of the few fiction movies that an actor plays himself and goes by his own name, and that his name is actually part of the premise of the film. The extra, likely without knowledge, demonstrated with drunken stupidity, a thread of the film's plot: namely that fame brings with it a certain amount of segregation and exploitation.

Interesting how Malkovich is so concerned about his head and then gets beaned in the head by the can. Good thing he didn't name another part of his anatomy.

3) There is no reason for the script to be fake. Why spend time and effort de-constructing a movie, typing the script out etc. if the script is already available? Why not just use the actual script?


You don't spend much time on the internet, do you? I meet people like that every time I log on. In fact, I believe over half the content on the Internet is from people just. like. that.

I've always hated John Malkovich.

1) They don't update the script after the scene has been shot.

2) I think the script is legit because it has actions in it that don't happen in the movie. "Malkovich looks up." It's a typical thing for a screenwriter to put in there, not realizing that it wouldn't really play once the cameras were rolling. There's no time for him to look up because the car is racing past. The words and the action happen on top of eachother.
