The sequence where the Seabourn Legend rams into the port is still the most expensive stunt ever filmed in history, accounting for $25 million of the film's $110 million budget, and costing as much as the entire budget of 'Speed'. The town and ship's prow were all built life-size and then rigged so that the stunt could be filmed in sections. The ship's bow was mounted on underwater rails and then driven through the set one shot at a time. Reshoots and extra takes were out of the realm of possibility (and would cause the film to go over budget), as it would require rebuilding the port and repairing the ship, and as a result every shot of the ship crashing into the port was the first and only take.
