When is a box office bomb no longer able to be called a cataclysmic flop? In the case of Waterworld, anyway, far too late for the ambitious post-apocalyptic epic to ever be able to ditch its reputation as a disaster.

Thanks to one of the most notoriously troubled productions in Hollywood history – which saw star and producer (as well as replacement director if the rumors are to be believed) Kevin Costner spend 157 consecutive days on set – his re-teaming with Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves filmmaker Kevin Reynolds was the most expensive movie ever made at the time with an eye-watering $175 million price tag.
