Editing Take (section)

===Multiple takes===
Other directors such as [[Stanley Kubrick]] are notorious for demanding numerous retakes of a single scene, once asking [[Shelley Duvall]] to repeat a scene 127 times for ''[[The Shining (film)|The Shining]]''. During the shooting of ''[[Eyes Wide Shut]]'', Kubrick asked for 97 takes of Tom Cruise walking through a door before he was satisfied.  [[Charlie Chaplin]], both director and star of ''[[The Gold Rush]]'', did 63 separate takes of a scene where his character eats a boot—in reality, a prop made of [[licorice]]—and ended up being taken to the hospital for [[insulin shock]] due to the high sugar intake.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0015864/trivia/|title=The Gold Rush (1925) - Trivia - IMDb|via=www.imdb.com}}</ref>  Chaplin also did 342 takes of a scene in ''[[City Lights]]'' (1931).{{citation needed|date=April 2019}}

In other cases, it is the actors who cause multiple takes.  One fight scene in [[Jackie Chan]]'s ''[[The Young Master]]'' was so intricate that it required 329 takes to complete.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081499/trivia|title=The Young Master (1980)|access-date=10 April 2018|via=www.imdb.com}}</ref>

Director [[Bryan Singer]] tried for a full day to get his desired shots of the cast of ''[[The Usual Suspects]]'' behaving sullenly in a police lineup, but the actors could not remain serious and kept spoiling the takes by laughing and making faces.  In the end, Singer changed his plan and used the funniest of the takes in the final movie to illustrate the contempt the criminals had for the police. {{citation needed|date=April 2019}}

During the filming of ''[[Some Like It Hot]]'', director [[Billy Wilder]] was notoriously frustrated by the retakes required by [[Marilyn Monroe]]'s inability to remember her lines.{{citation needed|date=April 2019}}
