Watching the Mid-credits scenes, Behind the scenes style, from Baywatch (2017), and it seems like a really fun movie to make for the people involved.

Also touching on the recent thread about Caddyshack being a wild one.

Seems like most of the live-action TV series are fun. They’re always crying when it’s over and say they’re like a family. I know there’s been some that are nightmares for certain actors as well.

Yeah, I like to think they actually partied for those party pics they show at the end. That cast seemed fun.

No matter how fun a movie seems, behind the scenes is an overworked, underpaid crew. Some are still fun but a lot of times it’s movies that are complete garbage. One of the most fun sets I worked on was that god awful Terminator movie with Emilia Clarke as Sarah Connor. Really great person, not so great of an actress.

Maybe Ghostbusters? Again, Bill Murray.

Galaxy Quest?

I know I have seen some blooper reels for a lot of TV shows that give the appearance it’s just nonstop laughter. But for movies..

Lol don't be misled by those BTS videos where it shows the crew all jovial and happy. That is cherry picking all the footage you've shot at its finest. It's the complete opposite on literally every single set aside from like Lifetime or Hallmark movies. Those are the only type of sets I've worked where everyone is chill and in a good mood, which is odd given the fact that those are tier 1A sets. Even on comedy sets, people act like they're sitting in a divorce court getting fricked by the judge.

Everyone, besides the actors, is always miserable, cranky and is about one failed take away from going postal.

Action and comic book films are the absolute worst and I refuse to work them unless I either have no work lined up or it's a once in a lifetime chance to work with characters I grew up idolizing like Superman or Batman (which I still end up regretting). I've worked on two James Gunn films and even though I don't like most of his movies, he is a good director to work for and I've got absolutely nothing bad to say about him when it comes to being a boss. His sets really challenge you but he's constantly joking and trying to lift spirits where as with other directors, shite rolls down hill.

I've heard Spielberg's sets are a nightmare to work as well.

I've heard many actors say comedies are a pain in the arse to make, while horror movies are the most fun.
