30 Years on, Director of One of Hollywood’s Biggest Flops is Still Defending it: “I’m Proud of it”

Director Renny Harlin’s 1995 pirate film, Cutthroat Island, was a major financial disappointment, costing around $100 million to make but earning only $18.3 million at the box office. Despite its failure, Harlin recently told Empire Magazine he remains proud of the movie, stating, “I’ll always believe Cutthroat Island is a good film, and I loved making it.”
