* HostilityOnTheSet: According to Creator/GuillermoDelToro, Mira Sorvino and Jeremy Northam could not stand each other on set. This is on top of the aforementiond insanity of Bob Weinstein storming the set, making absurd demands, and trying to fire del Toro. Luckily some of the staff, such as Sorvino herself, stood up for him and were able to get Weinstein off del Toro's back.

* BoxOfficeBomb: Budget, $30 million. Box office, $25 million. Creator/GuillermoDelToro's first English-language film was this adaptation of a Donald A. Wollheim story. It was not a happy experience as he dealt with constant ExecutiveMeddling from the Weinsteins which demanded excessive reshoots and divergences from the original script. Del Toro [[CreatorBacklash disowned the film]] and swore off working with the Weinsteins ever again. It did however, sell very well on home video to spawn two straight-to-video sequels.
