Prior to the release of the film "Titanic", Captain EO was the most expensive film ever made and it's total run time is less than 1/9 that of it's successor. - itsreallyreal

Your 'most expensive' factoid is worded in correctly. It should read Captain EO held the record for highest cost per minute of film until Titanic was released. - BlueberryCrusader

Have you seen all the little mistakes in the movie? For example, when EO arrives and the shot is at his feet, there's a DUCT TAPE ROLL just lying there haha A lot of continuity problems. - goinghometime

Francis was a co producer for lucas in American Graffiti....which is based where I live because Lucas is a Modesto-an....they met while in film classes - AuzRoxUrSox
