10 More Movies That Did Crazy Things When They Ran Out Of Money

1981's legendary adult animated anthology film Heavy Metal was produced on a relatively scant $9.3 million budget considering its visual ambition.

Though some shots throughout the film were rotoscoped, there's a single shot at the very end of the movie that was entirely live-action.

Because the production ran short of cash and had the release date moved up by several months unexpectedly, there simply wasn't time to rotoscope the house explosion in the final scene.

And so, it's simply a live-action shot of a model house being blown up, albeit somewhat cleverly disguised by being tinted green and over-saturated, to give it a more surreal, heightened look that better fits in with the animated shots surrounding it.

The shot passes quickly enough that many might not even notice that it's live-action at all, but as the house's debris flies through the air, it's nevertheless clear we're not looking at something animated.
