Making any film comes with its challenges, but we've found 12 of the most difficult films to make. From pulling a 320-ton boat up a hill, to shooting half a film underwater, to even trying to make a movie with Wesley Snipes. Most of these will be production nightmares, where everything that could go wrong with making a film going wrong.
These film productions usually started with grand ambitions and ended with budgets ballooning because of an ever-growing list of issues. These are films disowned by their actors, or ones that nearly bankrupted studios, or even had the cast and crew constantly attacked by animals. In the end you decide on which film takes the crown for being the hardest to make.

Hey everyone! Make sure to check out our Part 2 to this video which includes 11 more difficult films to make! Also just a small correction that's been brought up a few times in the comments. Russian Ark (2002) no longer has the longest single shot in film. Victoria (2015) has dethroned it with the whole film being filmed in a single 134 minute take. Russian Ark still deserves its spot on the list due to its scale and the pressure they had from not having much time to film.

@mikeboy0001 2 месяца назад

Was going to point that And if you see the movie, you'll notice Victoria was much harder to shoot, different locations, outdoors, indoors, moving cars, actual script and fantastic performances Important to mention it's not boring as Russian Ark, it's a thrilling and brilliant piece of cinema A true Masterpiece in my view

Aguirre: The Wrath of God must take the crown for the worst Kinski movie of all. Supposedly about a Conquistador looking for El Dorado, the internet descriptions tell of the journey made by Kinski's character "taking its toll on his mental health." Anyone watching this low budget extravaganza of pointless film making would, I'm certain, have experienced a remarkably similar effect on the mental health of any audience unfortunate enough to have shelled out actual cash to view this film.

I remember previewing The Grey at a Director’s screening at CAA before it came out in wide release. I do remember him coming out before the movie started and saying something like “we’ll see if they ever let us make something like this again” with like a nervous chuckle, as if to say the shooting was grueling. Then the movie started with a plane crash sequence that nearly scarred me for life. 😂 One of the most intense things I’d ever seen. You can completely tell when things are shot on location with real natural elements, especially in harsh conditions. You can’t fake stuff like that and sadly so many movies are. We’re getting more and more advanced yet slowly losing everything about what makes movies special. Bravo to you and your team!

@E3ECO 2 месяца назад

I heard "How the West was Won" (1962) was difficult to film because of the Cinerama process. It was a huge camera utilizing three lenses that had an enormous field of view. This made it hard to film without getting the camera itself into frame. Cinerama had until then been used to make travelogues, and the three directors found it cumbersome for filming drama. The actors had a tough time because they couldn't look directly at the person they were talking to during over-the-shoulder shots, but instead had to gaze between two of the lenses to make it look right. And the movie itself had enormous practical effects, horse and bison stampedes, and a rafting scene where the monster camera setup ended in the river. Despite all that, the movie was hailed as amazing and was a box office success. Not many movies were made using this process though, and the specialized theaters it needed for projection went out of business.

@osareafallire 2 месяца назад

Roar is straight insane. No movie like it will ever be made again. I met the son (the guy with the beard) at a screening in Austin. The whole thing is terrifiying but the background music is something right out of a 1980's live action Disney family adventure film including goofy "boing" sound effects. The only FAKE blood in it is some they put on one lion that was designed to be the "bad guy" lion. Spoiler: There's a fair amount more blood in it. Thanks for including it in this list.

The difficulty of the Revenant is pretty overblown. It was a pain, mostly due to the use of all natural light as previously mentioned. It really wasn’t all that remote, almost all of the locations are regularly used for other productions, and the notion that travelling to locations took up 40% of the days is pretty absurd. There were certainly some cold days, but in the later months, the production actually struggled to maintain the snow during an unseasonably warm winter. Many major productions such as Fargo(tv) and Cold pursuit used the exact same locations in far harsher weather. Dicaprio definitely had some challenging scenes, but still spent the vast majority of the shoot in heated tents and trailers surrounded by an entourage of assistants. The amount of crew turnover however, was not at all exaggerated.

That's not quite true about cold conditions can't be replicated with CGI. HBO's brilliant Band of Brothers came out in 2001, and if you watch the behind the scenes stuff, a lot of the winter forest scenes for the Battle of the Bulge episodes were actually done in a warm, indoor studio with the actors pretending to be freezing in fake snow and their icy breath added in post with CGI to make it seem more realistic.

I know this video deals with American movies, but one I think of is Andrei Tarkovsky's Stalker, based loosely on the Strugatsky brothers novel Roadside Picnic, which got entirely remade several times during the process. If you know Tarkovsky, you know every single thing he did was epic, highly deliberate, and existential. The final film is a masterpiece, but it boggles my mind to think of those people having to recreate the movie over and over. There's got to be something demoralizing about that process. But there's also something to be said about not going with your first effort.

The Eiger Sanction is definitely one of if not the most difficult they filmed a movie on the side of a vertical face of a mountain called The Eiger they filmed on the north face which is also called “the murder wall”

I worked on the Revenant. A very difficult shoot. The problem honestly was that the director and cinematographer, who are both from Mexico, would have private discussions and not share their information with the crew. Suddenly we’d be told to pick Up The camera and move it several hundred meters, then face another direction. This lack of communication (Ys Canadians didn’t speak Spanish) and possibly a cultural difference between the director/DOP and the crew on how we work in Canada led to many felt being disrespected.

I've never heard of Fitzcarraldo.. but it's free on RU-vid right now. I'm going to watch it right after this video. Thank you. 🙂

Great job. Maybe not perfect, but extremely informative. For the follow-up, I'd definitely recommend considering Aliens, The Godfather, and Terminator 2. Perhaps also The Bourne Identity and Toy Story 2.

The remake of Snow White should be on this list. Even though it isn't finished yet, but is probably the most expensive film in history, and also going to be the biggest financial bomb in cinema history. There may even be a complete reshoot in the near future.

A Clockwork Orange was pretty hard for Malcolm McDowell (scratched corneas, getting stabbed with a real hypodermic, a blown out eardrum), and the actress in the "singin' in the rain'" scene left and had to be replaced because Kubrick took so many takes it became traumatic for her.

_Roar_ might have been the most dangerous near-term, but _The Conqueror_ (1955) might be the most dangerous long-term, given that dozens of the cast and crew contracted various types of cancer, many fatal, over the following two decades. Outdoor scenes were filmed 200 mi downwind of the active Nevada Nuclear Test Range, and for studio shooting at RKO they trucked in hundreds of tons of still-radioactive sand from Nevada because Howard Hughes complained that the color of the beach sand they originally used didn't match the location footage. How that sand was eventually disposed of is unknown, according to the book 'Killing John Wayne: The Making of The Conqueror'.

17:08 That must have been a terrifying set, for a movie I literally never heard of.

Re LOTR check out Ian Nathan's book on the making of it- absolutely brilliant.

I absolutely love these movies - except the last Blade effort + Water world. I also haven’t seen Roar + Russian Ark but they look good! All the others tho, absolutely terrific stuff! Thanks :)

Great video! However, just a correction. Unless I'm mistaken, the longest film ever shot in one take is Sebastien Schipper's "Victoria" (2015)

It’s not hard at all to understand why The Revenant was difficult to make. It’s just brutal in every sense of the word. And being that it was filmed in frigid, all natural settings is another reason for how impressive this movie is. The cinematography was so outstanding, it practically makes one feel as though they’re really there, on location. The drama is bone chilling as well. And DiCaprio definitely deserved the Oscar.

So just a little more about the movie “Roar” the Hollywood couple filmed in their own ranch and their teenage daughter was also attacked by a lion. Her name was Meg. Meg Ryan. The actress…

Loved that line in Waterworld ,from the weary old guy down in the boiler room when he saw the lit,stick of dynamite Costner dropped down the stack. "Oh,.. thank God"

I read the other day that one reason Cleopatra was so expensive was they started shooting it in England and the constant rain ruined the sets and they finally moved to Rome and had to rebuild all the sets. They used so much material, Italy basically ran out of building material. Have to wonder why the studios put up with some the crap from actors and directors. Brando was supposed to be a night mare to work with. He showed up on the Island of Dr. Moreau and was really fat. He was so difficult the director said he would never make another movie with him. Billy Bob Thorton is supposed to be great to work with until day 12 of the shooting and he turns into a night mare but they already have 12 days so they have to keep going. Heaven's Gate ran for a few months and it came out it wasn't making any money. My dad and I were watching the news and he said, "I could have told them it would sink, it has kris Kristofens in it."

Its sad The Abyss never got the recognition it deserved for all that went into it. I remember seeing it for the first time flipping through channels on the TV, and couldnt stop watching. Its one of my favorite movies. And so many people i know have never heard of it.
