00:00This mistake was so good that the director left it in.
00:03Look, you can pretend to enjoy the more sophisticated things in life as much as you
00:07want to, but there's no denying that farts are funny. Nowhere is this better exemplified than
00:12in the famous line-up scene from 1995's The Usual Suspects. The scene was supposed to be
00:16played straight, with each member of the row stepping forward and saying their lines in a
00:20conventional manner. However, when you get five actors with big personalities in a room together,
00:24well, they're bound to muck about. The group kept on making each other laugh, to the point where it
00:28was decided that the scene would be done with a comedic tinge, and one of the reasons they kept
00:32laughing was because of Benicio del Toro's inability to hold in gas. According to the reports from the
00:37set, the Puerto Rican actor broke wind about a dozen times during various takes of the scene,
00:42to varying degrees of hilarity from his co-stars. That's why when his character Fred fenced the
00:46steps forward to do his lines, the rest of the suspects start tittering. And it's a scene that
00:50is definitely even funnier in hindsight.
