This wouldn\u2019t be the only shocking challenge faced by the production in the course of filming \u201cTroy\u201d–just the first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The movie\u2019s director, Wolfgang Petersen, reflects<\/a> on this shocking experience: \u201cBasically half of the city was there, and we all walked together back to the car. They were surrounding us. It was unbelievable.\u201d The paparazzi followed the production and the movie\u2019s stars everywhere and made things even more difficult for everyone involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a>What challenges did the production face in Cabo San Lucas?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"Roller](\"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/san-clemente-ocean-view-beach-modern-home-1024x683.jpg\")
<\/picture>Source: Peerspace<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nShooting many of the film\u2019s most epic, large-scale beach scenes in gorgeous Cabo San Lucas, Petersen recounts<\/a> that their weeks spent filming there also presented a number of significant \u201cheadaches\u201d for the production. For one thing, \u201cmarine biologists had to be on hand to make sure production didn\u2019t damage the area\u2019s endangered-turtle population.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\nAnd as in Malta, the heat in Mexico was perilous: \u201cDuring a major fight scene with 4,000 extras \u2014 about 2,000 of whom were trained Bulgarian athletes \u2014 several performers fainted due to the heat\u201d. The production and the expensive $1 million wall that they had built were destroyed by a massive hurricane (specifically Hurricane Marty<\/a>) not long after it was constructed. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPetersen adds: \u201cThe hurricane destroyed the entire thing. These huge tents where all these costumes were in and props and all that, it all just disappeared \u2014 basically flew into the air.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Luckily they completed the majority of the film before the hurricane, but after the natural disaster, the \u201cgates of Troy\u201d set had to be rebuilt so that they could film the \u201cclimactic fight between Achilles and Hector,\u201d writes Movie-Locations.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat a shockingly challenging shoot!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
