With how this video ended, I guess Whatculture ran out of money, too...

The first Mad Max paid local motorcycle gangs with beer and local cops with gas. Half of the movie’s production was paid with different consumables instead of money.

According to Campbell (and backed up by Raimi) in late 1982, the Raimi brothers tried to pay their own parents back once the film made money. Their folks said: 'No. We gave you the money because we believed in your dream. You have a lot of friends who worked on your movie who have similar dreams. You don't owe us, you owe them.' So a few months later their former film editors on Evil Dead mentioned they were working on a feature. They gave Raimi access to script, originally just wanting feedback. Raimi said: 'How much do you need to make this happen?' They told him... but he couldn't give them quite that much. But he gave them quite a bit. Those two film editors were Ethan and Joel Coen and the movie was Blood Simple. (Raimi and the Coens went to film school together.) Nor was Evil Dead and Blood Simple the only Coens and Raimi's only collaboration. Raimi got a special thanks credited on Fargo and Big Lebowski for loaning them his Delta '88. That's right... The Dude and Ash Williams drive the EXACT same car. And I don't mean the both drive Delta '88s. I mean the EXACT SAME exact same car.

I’m surprised Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail WASN’T #1

It would have been nice to show what errors were kept in El Mariachi

It looks like WhatCulture have also run out of money... what happened to Juleseseseses usual affirmations at the end?!

Cutthroat island is a fun movie and is better than it gets credit for

Cutthroat island is a good movie. Doesn’t deserve the hate

I have heard that the reason Monty Python and the Holy Grail had coconuts instead of actual horses was that they couldn’t afford them. There’s only one horse in the entire film and that only for a moment.

Darren Aronofsky's Pi was so low budget that he got family and friends to each give him $100 and raised 60k. Once it was a success, he gave each of them $150 back. Also, he never secured any locations for filming and had crew members watch out for cops so they could stop filming and vacate the premises at a moment's notice.

I love how the lack of money in some of these movies actually made it a better movie.

Pretty harsh cutoff at the end there. Was this recorded before the outros were discontinued?

What? No Deadpool? The duffel bag full of weapons "conveniently" left behind in Dopinder's taxi was the result of the fact there was literally no more money left to shoot the climactic battle Tim Miller & Co. wanted to bring to the screen. Deadpool himself exclaims that he had forgotten the ammunition. He also fired several jabs at Fox (the studio which had produced the movie) for not providing enough of a budget to show more members of the X-Men than Colossus and Negasonic Teenage Warhead.

There was a bottom-of-the-barrel horror movie in the mid-1960s called Monster a Go-Go (believe it or not), in which a space capsule goes up into orbit with a human astronaut, then comes back down to Earth with an alien monster, which the authorities tried to track down as it went on a rampage. When they ran out of money and everything came to a screeching halt, the producers just had a narrator tell the audience that the whole thing didn't really happen.

Terry Gilliam, three syllables, not "Gillam." Jeez.

Peter Jackson's Bad Taste was so low budget that the cast and crew would work their regular day jobs during the week and film all their scenes on the weekends. It took 4 years to make.

Let’s not forget that Walt Disney went into his own savings and even mortgaged his own home to finish production on Snow White.

Great to see/hear Jules host these videos again. 👍

There's an ancient running joke about how somethiing looks like "a film student's movie" but the problem for film students wasn't their skill, they tend to have a lot of that, but the incredible expense of film and processing. When, as Joe Bob Briggs said, it costs $100 anytime you pull that trigger it cuts into what you can make.

Meta-finale? Thanks for the videos!

"Carolco...had no further funds to give." I'm sure that's not the only F they couldn't give...

500th like here, Cutthroat Island may have sucked but Geena Davis was still gorgeous !

You did this one about two years ago

I read “Rebel Without a Crew” it’s a fantastic read.

'Cut-throat Island'...the movie that will have you asking "Why is everything made out of gunpowder?"

Fun fact about Monty Python and the Holy Grail: The coconuts were also the result of a budget constraint. They originally planned to have horses but couldn't afford them, to which Michael Palin suggested they just use the radio method to create the sound of hoof beats instead.

I have watched Cutthroat Island long time ago and I liked it a lot xd Was surprised when I heard many years later it was such a massive flop... Gotta rewatch it out of sheer curiosity xd

The Adventures of Baron Munchausen is a really fun film.

My favourite El Mariachi guff is in the opening, where he gets the coconut. RR realised afterwards that he forgot to film him paying, so he worked the notion of getting it for free into the narration.

It’s been decades since I saw Holy Grail and I still remember being furious at the end. I fast-forwarded for several minutes, convinced that it was a gag and the rest of the movie was going to be there (well, technically, the fact that the rest of the movie wasn’t there WAS the gag lol). I think I’d’ve found it funny and appreciated how perfectly absurd it was if I saw it for the first time now but at the time I just felt cheated 😄

The removal of the 2nd unit from Masters of the Universe was nothing compared to the ending. The producer wanted to end the movie right before the climactic fight between He-Man and Skeletor, but as luck would have it, Goddard was able to get one more day of shooting. The lighting scheme of that scene was to hide the fact that most of the set pieces had been cleared out

Reminds me of Lyndsay Anderson's movie IF. Critics praised his inclusion of black and white scenes that they said gave them a dream like quality. Truth was he had run out of colour film and couldn't afford any more so was forced to use black and white film to finish the movie.

There should have at least been an honorable mention to “Return of the Killer Tomatoes” where halfway through the film they break the 4th wall and shut down the film for running out of money, only to be saved at the last minute by choosing to sacrifice artistic integrity for product placement. The movie then restarts the scene where everything is corporate sponsored and the dialog is thick with advertising nods. It’s was an extremely novel and funny thing at the time, but I haven’t rewatched to see if its schlock has held up over the years.

Evangelion also did weird stuff when they ran out of money. The last episodes were really weird and were apparently very cheap. 1:27 Nice gun ;3. Borrow money from the French Mob? That sounds dangerous. You would be in big trouble if the movie flopped. I didn't realize the Holy Grail ended that way because of budget issues. Monty Python was only $400,000? Is that a B-movie price? It's a shame The Adventures of Baron Munchausen flopped. You think it would do better if someone from Monty Python was involved. 10:18 That's all they had? That's a pretty small budget for a movie. The TMNT movie was made independently because major studios were afraid it would flop like He-Man did.

I love how they have a title card and then just basically restate what it says to stretch this video out. We could just read the title cards and get everything they are saying

2017's The Snowman - They released what they had & called it a "movie."

There is a movie from Cuba, it´s called "Plaf!". The director didn´t have money for a car crash, so, instead, we see the car turning around a mountain, and then the director appears on screen, saying "I don´t have money for the next scene, our protagonist is going to crash, so I prefer to tell you the story of this particular scene..." "Now, let´s go to the hospital scene"...

Where's the entry for WhatchCulture replacing outro with fade out before the end?

The Evil Dead was worth every penny, it's such a perfect movie 😈

They forgot Wolf of Wall Street on this list.

As bad as cut throat island might have been I'd still watch it if it was on TV right now

Dunno but this list reminded me of fyre festival and that dude that suck someone of for water bottles

Engagement!!!

Monty Python and the Holy Grail had an insanely low budget.

Cimino sadly finished himself with Heavens Gate so soon after Deer Hunter. So many bombs went way over budget.

Umm... no. Star Trek V: The Final Frontier is not the worst Trek movie ever. Not when The Motionless Picture and Star Trek: Nemesis exist.

Just here for Jules

Yeah, we are all missing the outros , budgetary cuts suck.

I like how El Mariachi was followed up by Desperado Just as campy. Couldn't get away with blackface in film any longer.

Can What culture stop doing video about it seems the same 30 films.

Why would you make a Heman movie?

Love your content guys ❤❤❤

finally, jules is back

What an anticlimatic ending tho

GILL-I-AM! Not "Gillum". Try harder, do better.

Renny Harlin... what a guy(NOT!)

Y'all adding music to this shit just makes it harder to understand and lots of the music is pointless noise not even music. Why?

First❤❤❤❤❤

I know nothing about trading /investment and l'm keen on getting started. What are some strategies to get started with?

Monty python is a classic
