With sky-high budgets and oversize egos, almost any film production has the potential for disaster. But some turn into full-fledged nightmares.<BR><BR>Take Pulgasari, a North Korean Godzilla clone dreamed up by Kim Jong II and created by a kidnapped South Korean director, with a budget of millions and a staff of seven hundred fed on truckloads of pheasants, wild geese, and deer. Or consider the interminable jungle shoot of Apocalypse Now, during which the cast and crew were slowly driven as mad as Colonel Kurtz. Some films even become an albatross their directors can never shake off, as with Michael Cimino and Heaven's Gate. Still others turn into terrible tragedies like those that befell Twilight Zone: The Movie and The Crow, each losing a leading actor to a freak, yet preventable, accident.<BR><BR>Such bizarre production mishaps often prove more interesting than the films that came out of them. In Apocalypse on the Set, Ben Taylor uses these stories and more to offer a rare glimpse behind the curtain of Hollywood filmmaking.
