20 Behind-The-Scenes Shots That Make Films Look Stupid

4. Kate And Leo Drown In A Shallow Swimming Pool

Titanic is a 194 minute film that's about 164 minutes too long. All you really want to see is the boat capsizing and everything going wrong, not some Upstairs, Downstairs-at-sea nonsense with Billy Zane wearing a unconvincing hairpiece the rest of the time. At its heart, it wants to be a romance, but audiences were as much looking forward to some disaster movie-style spectacle. Thankfully, the very end of the film combine the two, with Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio's brief affair coming to an unceremonious end once the titular boat has sunk, with Kate refusing to share a reasonably sized bit of flotsam with her lover. The whole emotional climax of the film is far more underwhelming when you consider they filmed it in a paddling pool.
