Okay, so a budget of $8 million sounds like a lot, but it really isn’t. Location shooting, a fresh script and new faces went a long way. That and a little creative ability. This film won the 2 awards at Sundance that pretty much guarantee more recognition, the Grand Jury Prize and Audience Award. This film furthered the craft.

Switch to what has been playing on the silver screen since. I’m not making this up. A series of sequels and remakes centered on ’60’s spy flicks, I’m not kidding. The Man from U.N.C.L.E. and Mission Impossible ? Then you have Vacation. Don’t forget your comic book flicks! Ant Man and Fantastic Four. They had budgets of $75 million, $150 million, $31 million, $130 million and $120 million respectively.

It’s rather obvious who got the most bang for their buck. Unless you are 12-years-old.
