Titanic (1997) | The Cutting Room

One night during filming, someone laced the crew's clam chowder with PCP. Eighty people ended up in hospital, hallucinating. It's one of the strangest things ever to happen on a set, and it barely registered amid the chaos around Titanic (1997).

James Cameron's epic ran wildly over budget, briefly became the most expensive film ever made, then went on to be the highest-grossing and an eleven-Oscar juggernaut. Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet, a colossal water tank, and a director with a fearsome reputation. John, Westy and Matt weigh the romance, the spectacle and the scale, then deliver three scores out of 10. The door debate included.
