On the day they shot the scene where the natives welcome the Bounty to their island, he repeatedly ignored calls to the set while he was talking to some local women. When he finally showed up, Howard, who had been sweltering in the hot sun waiting, lost his temper and walked off the set, making Brando wait for him. Brando later wrote a letter to Howard apologising for his behaviour on the film. Howard was largely responsible for helping the American star win a libel action against a British newspaper concerning the film. He also agreed to appear with Brando in ''Morituri'' and ''Film/{{Superman}}''.

At one point, he pulled people off the film crew to decorate and design a friend's wedding in Tahiti.

* AwesomeDearBoy: Creator/RichardHarris agreed to take a third-billed role in this film purely to work with Creator/MarlonBrando. However, Brando's on-set behavior soured his adoration of the star.
* BoxOfficeBomb: Budget: $19 million. Box-Office: $13,680,000.
* CreatorBacklash: Creator/RichardHarris had such a miserable time on the film that he refused to attend the premiere. He later described the shoot as "nightmarish" and called the film "a total fucking disaster".
* DawsonCasting: Creator/TrevorHoward was initially reluctant to play Bligh, because he felt he was far too old for the part. The real life Lieutenant William Bligh was 33 when the Bounty set sail, and 35 at the time of the mutiny. After all the problems filming, Howard said he wished he had turned the film down.
* FakeBrit: Creator/MarlonBrando is Fletcher Christian.
* HostilityOnTheSet: Creator/MarlonBrando didn't endear himself to his costars. He was standoffish with the British cast. Moreover, he alienated several of them with his chronic lateness on the set and his habit of changing his interpretation of scenes after rehearsing them.

** The scene where Christian strikes Mills was problematic. On the first take, when Brando struck Creator/RichardHarris, it was a damp squib. Harris responded with a mock curtsy and waggled a limp wrist in the air. Brando didn't get the joke. On the second take, the blow was weak. Harris thrust his chin forward and said, "Come on, big boy, why don't you fucking kiss me and be done with it!" Brando glared, white with rage. Then Harris kissed him on the cheek, hugged him, and said "Shall we dance?" Angry and embarrassed, Brando stormed off the set. From that point on, the two refused to speak to each other, Brando acting to a stand-in, while Harris acted to a packing case with Brando's face on it. When it came to film Brando's death scene, Brando attempted reconciliation by asking Harris to give him his lines.
