10 Movies Nobody Really Enjoyed Making

Kevin Reynolds' Waterworld is a cult classic but is equally famous for having been one of the hardest films ever to make. Almost everyone involved in the production suffered major stress as the initial $100 million budget was quickly seen to be insufficient, and almost double that amount was needed in the end.

Hoping to tell the story of a post-apocalyptic world in which the polar ice caps have melted and water covers the entire surface of the Earth, the producers decided to build a set out off the coast of Hawaii. Special vehicles needed to be made for the film, and all of the cast and crew had to be transported back and forth for each day of shooting.

It was a huge logistical undertaking, and things only got worse when a hurricane struck and destroyed large parts of the set. Not only that, but star actor Kevin Costner almost died when he got caught in a squall and a couple of stuntmen were injured too. Even Joss Whedon, who only flew out to the set near the end of production to help with some script rewrites, called the experience "seven weeks of hell".
