Titanic

o Titanic may have cost $250 million to make, but it's broken box-office records all around the world - ticket sales added up to $1,5 billion!

o More than a hundred miles of film were used to create the movie.

o Before filming began, director James Cameron spent more time at the wreck aite of the Titanic than the real-life Titanic passengers spent on the ship itself.

o It took just 100 days to construct the set of the mighty Titanic, which was 90 per cent of the original ship's size.

o Want to make your own Titanic, just like the one in the movie? You'll need three-and-a-half million pounds of steel, 30 thousand rivets, 15 thousand sheets of plywood and several tons of paint.

o The extras on the set had their own etiquette coach who taught them how to talk, walk, eat, speak and even laugh in the correct Edwardian style.

o The film-makers paid such attention to detail when making the movie that even the salt and pepper pots were created the same company as supplid the original Titanic.

o The sketches you see Jack Dawson draw throughout the movie were actually done by director James Cameron.

o The iceberg that stars in the movie was in fact created by computer special effects - the actors were gazing into thin air in the iceberg scenes.

o Look closely at scenes involving Captain John Smith and you may spot the computer generated passengers!

o Special machines, which are used to train paratroopers, were brought in to allow extras to fall convincingly off the steep deck as the ship is sinking.

o The icy waters scene at the end of the movies was filmed in a 350 000 gallon tank. Allthough it looks freezing cold, it was actually quite warm and the extras were given regular "hot tub" breaks during the gruelling shoot.

o Make-up artists had to keep topping up Leo and Kate's frozen make-up with special bluey-white face paint, wax and crystallizing powder for instant icicle effects.

o At the Titanic premiere in Tokyo, 100 Japanese police officers surrounded the cinema and 150 more were drafted in wearing riot gear.
