Making any film comes with its challenges, but here are 26 examples (taken from two videos) of the most difficult films to make. From pulling a 320-ton boat up a hill ('Fitzcarraldo'), to shooting half a film underwater ('The Abyss'), to trying to make a film with Wesley Snipes ('Blade: Trinity'), to filming a one hundred vehicle chase in the desert ('Mad Max: Fury Road'), to reshooting an entire film ('Stalker'), to keeping up with Tommy Wiseau's weird demands ('The Room'). Most of these will be production nightmares, where everything that could go wrong with making a film going wrong.
These are films disowned by their actors ('The Abyss'), or ones that nearly bankrupted studios ('Heaven's Gate'), or had the cast and crew constantly attacked by animals ('Roar'), or ones that took decades to make ('The Thief and the Cobbler'), or led actors to lose their hair from stress ('The Shining'), or even had someone drugging the cast and crew's food ('Titanic').
