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

14. Nothing Happens In San Andreas

Disaster movies are all about the huge visual spectacles. It's the special effects bods who should get all the credit, not the directors: after all, nobody cares about what John Cusack's role in 2012 is. They just want to see him flying for his life in a helicopter away from a mega-twister that's tearing New York City in two, or whatever it was that happened in that film. It's been a while since a really great disaster movie, but recent release San Andreas looks set to return the genre to its former glory. Rather than opting for the miniatures and real explosions used in the likes of The Poseidon Adventure, though, it's all CGI; which means the behind-the-scenes footage is all people falling over or being washed away by non-existent quakes and waves.
