How did Delgo cost 40 million to make?


Seriously where did all the money go? I am asking a serious question, I looked up on Wiki and there was no real explantion. I mean 40 million...it looks like it was made for kids tv in 1998!

While I don't know the breakdown, I work on CG animation projects and while they are *very* labour and equipment intensive, even for "low budget" titles, they still require a lot of bums on seats.

However, looking at the lineup of B and C grade actors used in Delgo, I'd say at least 30% of the budget went to paying them in the hopes that it would sell more tickets.

Thanks for heads up..but the rest of the 70%, the Delgo factoids seem to say they had been working on it since 2001 or so....I just find it hard to see in the finished product cos in a nutshell it looks crap and the story is ho-hum...

Um, they hired at least 10 very recognizable bankable actors and worked on it for at least 6 years and you wonder where the money went? Are you clinically retarded?

Calm down, Jake3988. Do you have anger issues?

This movie had been in production since 1998, and keeping it up and running is something costly.

Hello *beep* Im 100 procent *beep* sure that ure wrong. The thing this may be is money laundring, They say they used 40 million but the real case is that they maybe used 5 million for the production and put the rest in their own pockets ;) Thats what ive heard was the case with the movie foodfight
