10 Movies Nobody Really Enjoyed Making

10. Jaws (1975)

It's the film that gave birth to countless lifelong fears of swimming in the sea, but by all accounts, Steven Spielberg's Jaws was an absolute nightmare to make. Technology and special effects in the 70s weren't what they are today, and the production was majorly troubled by the use of Bruce, which was the nickname given to the three mechanical sharks used throughout the film.

The trio of Bruces malfunctioned over and over again, and issues with these oversized props forced the film way over its budget. $4 million had been provided in funding, but $3 million was needed just to cover all the issues caused by the sharks.

Shooting a film at sea was also a highly ambitious undertaking and went pretty badly, with other vessels ruining shots, cameras getting drenched in water, and even one case when the boat used in the film started to sink. Photography was scheduled to last for 55 days but took nearly three times that amount, with lots of special equipment having to be designed and used to get all the underwater shots Spielberg wanted.

Crew members famously nicknamed the film "Flaws" as they suffered through one issue after another, and Spielberg admitted his inexperience and naivety played a part in the problematic production process.
