Brandon Lee getting shot on the set of The Crow. Damn shame, I think he would have had a hell of a career ahead of him.  |

Dunno if it's the "craziest" thing but apparently the first Hollywood film to deal with transsexualism wasn't some artsy/acclaimed director, but Z-grade director Ed Wood (Glen or Glenda)

For a shitload of craziness watch Lost Soul: The Doomed Journey of Richard Stanley's Island of Dr. Moreau. Amongst other things director Richard Stanley went missing after he was sacked, was found living in the jungle by some extras, who sneaked him on set, where he played an onscreen monster unbeknown to the films producers

Amongst other things director Richard Stanley went missing after he was sacked, was found living in the jungle by some extras, who sneaked him on set, where he played an onscreen monster unbeknown to the films producers My favorite anecdote:
According to Thewlis, "we all had different ideas of where it should go. I even ended up improvising some of the main scenes with Marlon". Thewlis went on to rewrite his character personally. The constant rewrites also got on Brando's nerves, and as on many previous productions, he refused to learn lines, so he was equipped with a small radio receiver, so that his assistant could feed his lines to him as he performed - a technique he had used on earlier films. Thewlis recollects: "[Marlon would] be in the middle of a scene and suddenly he'd be picking up police messages and would repeat, 'There's a robbery at Woolworth's'".

Brando Paychecks :
Superman (1978) $3,000,000 *
Marlon Brando was paid $3.7 million, plus a percentage of the gross, for twelve days of shooting. The payment also covered the sequel, which was shot at the same time. Brando did not appear in the sequel, because he'd sued Ilya Salkind, claiming Salkind had not paid him his percentage of the profits. He ultimately received about $14 million for ten minutes of screentime. The footage shot for the sequel was used in Superman Returns (2006).
Marlon Brando refused to memorize most of his lines in advance. In the scene where he puts infant Kal-El into the escape pod, he was actually reading his lines from the diaper of the baby. He told director Richard Donner that the only way to keep his performance fresh, and not over rehearsed, was to record the first time he read the lines.
Apocalypse Now (1979) $3,500,000
Marlon Brando was paid $1 million in advance. He threatened to quit and keep the advance. Francis Ford Coppola told his agent that he didn't care, and if they couldn't get Brando, they would try Jack Nicholson, Robert Redford, or Al Pacino. Brando eventually turned up late, drunk, and about 88 pounds (40 kg.) overweight. He admitted he hadn't read the script or "Heart of Darkness". He read Coppola's script, and refused to do it. After several days of arguments over single lines of dialogue, Coppola agreed to an ad-lib style script, with Brando filmed mostly in shadows.
Christopher Columbus: The Discovery (1992) $5,000,000
According to Variety Magazine, Marlon Brando was paid $5 million for his cameo as Torquemada. Over ten years earlier, Brando had set an industry record when "Christopher Columbus" producer Ilya Salkind had paid him $3.7 million for twelve days work on Superman (1978) against a percentage of the gross. That deal yielded Brando $14 million, though he had to sue the producer to get it.
The Score (2001) $3,000,000
Michael Jackson: 30th Anniversary Celebration (2001) $1,000,000

These tapes were made available to the makers of the documentary "Listen To Me Marlon" (2015). On the tapes, Brando's response to Coppola's public claim that Brando was responsible for the delays by his constant quibbles over the script was to call Coppola a "cocksucker" and to say "I saved his ass on that picture." Now, everybody choose up sides.
