yeah I remember reading Mathau's response to being asked about his name being under Streisand's name on the bill

"Can you imagine being under Barbra Streisand? Get me a sick bag - I may throw up"

isn't Sean Young a bit of a lunatic?

didn't James Woods get a barring order so she couldn't come within a few feet of him and his fiancée, after she left a disfigured doll on the doorstep of his house, after filming "The Boost"

De Niro couldn't stand Cybill Shepard when making Taxi Driver

The best has to be Faye Dunaway and Roman Polanski filming 'Chinatown':

According to Peter Biskind's book 'Easy Riders, Raging Bulls,' when Dunaway asked for her character's motivation, Polanski would shout, "'Say the f*cking words. Your salary is your motivation.' Things came to a head, literally, when Polanski objected to a wayward hair of hers that was ruining a shot and instead of asking her to tuck it out of the way, simply plucked it from her head.

Their enmity escalated into one of the most infamous on-set incidents of all time: Polanski wouldn't let the actress take a break during a scene in her car, although she desperately needed to pee, so Dunaway threw a coffee cup full of urine in Polanski's face.

Also heard about Barbara Streisand and Kris Kristofferson didn't get along in A Star is Born. So much so that Kristofferson used to eat onions before the love making scenes just to annoy her.

Apparently Christopher Plummer despised kids.

We could go on all day about Werner Herzog and Klaus Kinski's complicated relationship.

What's that based on? I have heard many actors say great things about Brando in interview, appartently he was bit of a prankster.

Orson Welles and Peter Sellers hated each other-apparently.Made filming casino royale quite difficult for them I'm sure.

I have a vague memory of reading that Shaw was delibertly a dick to him as their characters weren't supposed to like each other up until the bonding session on the boat, after that they got on well

Ahh that one is well know, Shaw scared the hell out of Dreyfuss, clash of acting styles, Dreyfuss was a motivation actor while Shaw spent his spare time getting pissed with the casting directors son and a couple of other guys from the set given the job to keep him quiet.

I recall details about Tommy Lee Jones and Jim Carrey having a personality clash on Batman Forever and of course Val Kilmer having a clash with most people.

The classic one is Beth Davis and Joan Crawford, they even hated each other off set. While filming ‘What Happened to Baby Jane?’, Davis actually kicked Crawford in the scene when she pushed her down the stairs. In return, when Bette had to drag Joan off her bed, Joan put on a weighted diver’s belt underneath her costume, making her heavier to drag. Davis said of Crawford was “single handedly responsible for the syphilis outbreak in America.

Ted: "What about Val Kilmer, i hear he's a right bástard"

I remember there being alot of conflicts on Miami Vice between Jaime Foxx and Colin Farrell. The jist was Foxx was a right premadonna after winning his oscar and had a large entourage and a number of demands while Farrell was the height of professionalism.

Foxx also play a character "Mothafcka Jones" in the film Horrible Bosses. When asked in the movie why hes called that he replied "cause I'm a mothafcka"
The character was originally called "Cócksucka Jones" but Foxx demanded the name changed as he didn't find it funny and thus ruined the joke in the movie.

Whoopi Goldberg despised Demi Moore during filming of Ghost, based on her interviews after.

Shatner and Takei weren't the best of pals either, you could see that at the Roast Of Shatner when Shatner kissed him.:)

Although Gene Wilder & Richard Pryor seemed to have chemistry on screen, Off screen they were not friends.Gene Wilder claimed that Richard Pryor's cocaine addiction made him unpleasant to be around.

I think Jamie Foxx should have gone with the original since he is in the closet;)

One story I heard was around the movie "The Score" , directed by Frank Oz and staring Brando, Robert DeNiro and Edward Norton. Apparently things got so bad between Brando and Oz that he ended up simply referring to him as Ms. Piggy when ever his name was mentioned.

According to Joel Schumacher, Val Kilmer did him two really big favours, the first was agreeing to play Batman in "Batman Forever", the second one was saying that he would never play Batman again for Schumacher. There is also a report of Kilmer playing a game of shove the director during the filming of that movie, not the best way to get along with folks in Tinseltown.

Great story i read before was that knife wielding badass "Billy" in the film Predator was made have a bodyguard with him wherever he went on set. Why? Because he was a complete nutter and his bodyguard was there to protect the crew incase he decided to attack anyone

Yea the story goes, he was prone to bar fights, had a fight everytime he went to a bar, so the insurance company were already worried about shooting in the jungle, without a claim for assault from Sonny Landham.:D

Ford did have his disagreements with Scott about the story and direction, but he got on with the job. Plus Ford did the voiceover at the film company's behest, against Scott's wishes, but Ford happily admitted that was wrong later.

As for Sean Young: she was very unhappy on the set of Wall Street, kept trying to get producers to swap her small role for Daryl Hannah's bigger role. DH wasn't that happy with the role, and Oliver Stone wasn't happy with DH, so Sean might have got it too, had she not pushed so hard. Charlie Sheen was so annoyed with Sean's attitude, he stuck a sign on her back that read "I am a <C-word>".

Depends on who you talk to. Another report here says Bill was the problem, bad-mouthing Lucy and at one point hitting director McG in the head.
PS: Charlie's Angles? Well, I suppose he was a sharp operator ...

David O'Russell and Lily Tomlin on the set of I Heart Huckabees. Apparently he is one of the most difficult directors to work with so you could sub Lily Tomlin's name with just about anybodys, but there is famously leaked video of him going ape**** at Lily Tomlin:

Kevin didn't like Stephen's attitude and with him being a Baldwin brother he would always try take him down a notch. The documentary on the DVD has it in their own words. May be on youtube. Kevin is funny.

DeNiro/Pacino in Heat

Sad Professor

Oliver Stone and James Woods were at each other's throats through most of the production of Salvador. I think they even got into a fist fight at one stage.

AFAIK, that wasnt any personal grievance, it was to make their scene in the coffee shop more natural as both are method actors.

Sad Professor

I'm pretty sure the DeNiro/Pacino thing is a myth. They only had a few scenes together in Heat and by all accounts they went smoothly.

There was a well known very heated rivalry between Robert Shaw & Richard Dreyfus in Jaws, apparently a few booze filled physical rows occurred because of the personality clash. Turned out well though because it helped the on screen tension the two had to create!

Phoenix Park

I think George Clooney said Jennifer Lopez was the msot difficult actor/actress he's ever worked with. They were in Out Of Sight together.

Mickeroo

Might have been mentioned already, but wasn't there a lot of animosity between Jamie Foxx and pretty much everyone else who worked on Miami Vice?

Cardinal Richelieu

On a sidenote the same guy who dubbed DeNiro for years into Italian also dubbed Al Pacino so Heat caused confusion among Italian audiences when they had to use a new voice actor for one of them.

Well, Mann certainly wasn't happy with him. He stormed off the set in the Dominican Republic, returned to the US and refused to leave, forcing Mann to rewrite the ending.

Well, I was exaggerating a little bit of course :pac:

But, from what I've heard, he could be quite the diva. Apparently while filming On The Waterfront he'd just show up for 3 hours or so and then leave when he felt like it.

He also hated Charlie Chaplin as a person.

While filming Apocalypse Now, Francis Ford Coppola found it too stressful to work with Brando. Because of this all of Brando's scenes were filmed by FFC's wife (AFAIK).

Those are just some examples of the top of my head.

Theboinkmaster

Some good ones here:

http://www.nextmovie.com/blog/famous-fights-on-movie-sets/

Val Kilmer's career has fallen apart because of what an absolute bastard he is to work with. It's hard to find anyone who has a good thing to say about him and most directors he worked with despised him. Schumacher called him "the most psychologically disturbed human being I have ever worked with" and on the set of Island of Dr. Moreau John Frankheimer screamed after shooting Kilmer's last scene "Cut! Now get that bastard off my set!". This was down to the manner in which Kilmer was on set and more importantly the way he abused everyone he worked tih. He burnt a camera operators face with a cigarette and while he denied it was intentional, everyone who saw it said that Kilmer did it deliberately. There's a great John Frankenheimer quote about how he will never climb Mount Everst and never again work with Kilmer as there isn't enough money in the world.


The Colin Farrell, Jamie Foxx hatred is one of the best. On set they pretty much refused to have scenes together and it all steams from Foxx's over inflated ego. When they were cast Farrell was the bigger star and as such he was being paid more. Then Foxx won his Oscar and he began making demands, Farrell took a pay cut as Foxx was demanding more money and then things got really out of hand. The cast and crew all flew commercially, well except for Foxx who insisted on private jets for him and his entourage. Both Mann and Farrell found his Beauvoir to be childish especially when every one of his jet trips took money out of the film. In the end Mann didn't get to make the film he set out as one day Foxx packed up and headed home after there was an incident on set. He then refused to travel anywhere outside the US meaning that Mann had to scrap the last third of the film he had wanted to make.

Kevin Smith and Bruce Willis.

Apparently, when shooting on Cop Out came to a close, Willis wasn’t in attendance for the wrap party, and Smith toasted the movie saying:

“I want to thank everyone who worked on the film, except for Bruce Willis, who is a f*cking dick.”

The director Kevin Smyth hates Bruce Willis after working with him, surprised Willis not mentioned earlier as he's supposed to be a right miserable bollox.

Sad Professor

Smith has really milked the Willis stuff for all it's worth. I assume he's going to have to go back and direct another movie at some point in order to get more stand-up material.

he's a better comedian than a director though :pac:

didnt Jim Carrey infuriate a lot of people on Man On The Moon? although that could have just been him keeping in character for Kaufman
