They lost multiple cameras to just washing or tilting off of the filming barges in calm seas.
Sinnerman99
Little do you know that he is crapping his drawers having to be up there for the shot.
JohnMagneTrane
I liked it. But can understand that it became so expensive. With them having to flood such a large studio and all.

Monkey!
upnortkdd
Why we watch movies.
myselfasme
“My boat.” Is my favorite line from a movie. It makes me laugh every time. There is a profound simplicity in those two words.
Femail76
Its why I became a postman
thirdbb
Remake needed
RenegadeSci
It was an interesting concept that the took backward wanting to copy mad max sooo fucking much. They couldn't be forward facing.
Lipwigzer
Underrated movie. It's known as being terrible but I know a lot of people feel differently.
IIikethecutofyourjib
Like my father. Who made me watch it 8 times.
gimmebackmyhand
It's terrible, but it's terrible in all the right ways. Just enough that it's actually fun.
how many is a lot? like three maybe?
MrPeebles
It got 3 out of 4 stars, and not all the critics hated it.
dontslamthefuckingdoor
It's one of my husband's favorites. Screw the critics!
DrunkenValkyrie
The movie was terrible compared to the book.
krapmyself
I'm one of those people. I liked the movie.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
I don't think it's actually known as being terrible. It's known as being a box-office flop because of its massive budget and all the /1
problems on set (even though it actually ended up making money). Its reputation isn't based on the quality of the movie at all. Too bad /2
because if it had just been a normal movie that showed up in theaters without all the bad publicity I think it would have done well. /3
ThreeHeavy
Critics are usually responsible for the reviews and they don't always align with public perception.
Well it was also a huge flop so the public didn't like it either.
Neither did I. Doesn't change the validity of my statement.

Dean Semler, Director of Cinematography.. Great DP, and regular guy.
RandomSecretFart
This was better than the Postman...same thing but land instead of water
ArkoneAxon
"The Postman" was based on a book... and the book was a LOT better.
glovelyday
If they hadn't spent so much money it would have been considered "Meh", but $175 million? Good thing international sales helped break even
motherhoodlum
Yea, I think this was a big reason it got panned. Costner demanded the set be built to absurd specs, skyrocketing production costs.
RenaldoMooon
I believe the producers bought policy to cover costs if bad weather prevented filming. Bad weather = delay costs not seen in final film.
Brewchacho
If I remember correctly, at least a portion of the cost was because storms wrecked part of the set.
Dickbuckles
It cost so much because they had to rebuild the floating island set after a hurricane sank it.
grid10ck
Mad max with more water
grinner
Also less action and sense. More gadgets, tho. Like, ALL the gadgets.
levelfivedetentionblockaa23
Except for the plot, script, and acting, it really holds up.
aTokenOfMyExtreme
It's like those movies where you just suspend all disbelief just cause you want to like it
PapaEmerituslIl
This and "the man from earth" ... best 2 movies ever made.
Kvothefefe
I randomly watched "The Man from Earth" because it was on next when I was watching TV, and I'm glad I did.
Aefinn
just don't watch the man from the earth 2. It's garbage.
Munchman347
Always wondered why he recycled his pee when he's surrounded by fairly clean salt water...
elonmusky1234567
Water world was awesome.
Merovean
Bet you thought the Judge Dredd remake was awesome as well? Love Carl, but yeah...
dagg3r
If you watched it before mad max 2 you would think that
ChickenFingerFingers
I think it's great because it presented a whole new idea and tried to show characters living in it. Like playing an early access game with/1
/2 bugs, but it provides something the market doesn't have.
sushidave
In Hawaii at the time. They emptied the scrap yards clean for metal things for the set.
ManicMDMechanic
That’s way before drones too. Impressive filmography.
ITmademedoit
I had sex for the first time during this movie. Good movie in my opinion!
SteelTech
The boat they used was an awesome choice. world class trimaran. If i could afford it....

segriffka73
I like this movie, Dennis hopper was great. He's like a turd that won't flush!
snakeoilsalesman
Any turd flushes if you have the right knife.
27yoUGLYvirgin
Jesus.
bfmama
He can save what's left of you in a god damn jar! Favorite line in the whole movie!
zackofspades
Care to elaborate on that second remark? Actual curiosity.
TherealGuyLeDouche
The film was actually shot in a huge tank of water

v I’ve been saving something for a special trade
SillySeal
This movie began my love for post apocalyptic things.
Cilvaa
Same.
StrifeRaider
This one and "The Postmen" Both played by the same lead aswel.
yourhotdog
as the camera panned out i expected dickbutt to be on the sail
PascalCasedUserName
I sure someone could facilitate that.
It is your duty

Why the fuck is everyone dirty when there water everyfuckingwhere!?
Because salt water is dirty.
theyar
Nor any drop to drink.
ArmedandOverclocked
Because it's water world not soap world
GrandmasterBush
Got eeem!!!
UavinAGiggowMate
Why were the pirates dirty?
Belckan
rust too
JamJamJamboreHE
all the guzzoline. smoke and soot
milw123
If movies have taught us anything, bad guys in the future will be sweaty, dirty, and slimey. All of them.
I was asking about the past
TheWarHymn
Well, we have been pumping our sewage into the oceans...
megaZwatcher
cleaning with saltwater is problematical if you don't have fresh water to rinse the salt out
crann
also, most soaps don't lather in salt water. Need a potassium based soap or a detergent like Joy or Dawn.
hippiejesus420
if you can't build a solar still, you deserve to be crusty from your saltwater bath
flarflarf
a large number of solar stills produce mostly enough to keep you alive. Realistically, you shower when it rains and that's about it.
strideo
It's good enough to get obvious dirt off of your body. These people are always diving in the sea in this movie so you can't say they're 1/
just avoiding getting the salt on their bodies from washing with salt water either. A lot of sailors wash with salt water and rinse with 2/
a bit of fresh water to keep the salt off their bodies while saving as much fresh water as they can. Sea water drying on your body can 3/
leave salt which can be uncomfortable in certain places where, um, chaffing might occur. 4/4
everypostepic
Why are you not a cyborg, when there is technology everywhere?
Rahxa
And no dirt.
Cheomesh
Skin and skin oil.
Icanhearwhatyouresayingandtheanswerisno
This.
Kyrorayne
Grease, exhaust, oil, smoke, rust, rubber.
Stop describing ur moms vag juice
Sorry that it makes you horny. You got sick fetishes.
wondark
Because the movie is Mad Max in a post apocalyptic "water world" and dirty and gross is just how you are in that world.
TheCouncilofRicks
Did you hear this on the joe rogan podcast?
Voidhawk42
No soap. Salt water. Fresh water reserved for drinking and cooking.
Perrinoia
I live on a boat and have delivered boats across the ocean. It's not easy to shower on a boat that is rolling on ocean waves.
We stalled the boat once, swam around it, and used salt water shampoo. Our hair was still crusty, just like the movie, after washing.
shreddedking
because the water is filled with huge whale/fish like animals that can kill human swimming in water and they don't have new clothes so 1/
Those monsters sleep in the mornings cockboy
some monsters stay up after browsing Late Night Imgur.
they're very tattered and in poor condition
TannerBFly
Have you heard of a bucket??
computerphile
A bucket doesn't create new clothing.. If you never replace old with new and only clean your clothes in water, they'll look dirty..
xlr82xs
But it would remove the dirt from all over their skin.
That depends on whether or not you think of salt as dirt I suppose
ericbres1337
If you completely recast and rewrote the villain - it would be fine. Seriously.
I think the main issue people had was the sea levels rising quite that high.
oomshr
Dennis hopper a bad villian!?!?
DuckyofDeath123
I forgot there was a villain so I think the story could use some work. Liked it Ok when I saw it, 6/10 maybe?
They wanted a mad max villain, and it could've been a much better movie as its own thing.
In that movie? Yup. Bad. Unfortunately. Weird, right?
I respectfully disagree
