THE PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN sequel was almost ruined by a series of catastrophes on the Bahamas set.
Illnesses and freak weather hampered the shoot, forcing expensive delays and set alterations.
Producer JERRY BRUCKHEIMER says, "Every day something breaks down. We had a storm in the Caribbean. We built this tank and the sand came in and we had to re-dig it and put a retaining wall in.
"But things like that happen on a daily basis: a ship won't be ready on time, an actor gets sick and he couldn't fly from England. It's just part of it being a big movie."
