Nearly 25 years after its initial release, James Cameron's "Titanic" is remembered for a great many things. First and foremost, it remains one of the highest-grossing movies in history and a success on just about every other level imaginable. It won Best Picture at the Oscars, set a record for nominations at the time, and made mega-stars out of its two leads. It is the definition of a blockbuster.
But the filming of Cameron's epic is also remembered for one of the most bizarre and wild on-set incidents ever recorded. Namely, a bunch of cast and crew members ate chowder laced with PCP, leading to rampant sickness, confusion, and, yes, people being high out of their minds.

BEHIND THE SCENES |
Titanic's True Love Story |
The elderly couple seen embracing in their cabin as water floods in Titanic were based on real people, Rosalie Ida Straus and Isidor Straus, the owners of Macy's in New York. Both perished on the Titanic. Ida refused a lifeboat seat to stay with her husband, stating, "As we have lived together, so we shall die together." Although a scene showing this was filmed, it was cut from the final version. Ida's words, "Where you go, I go," inspired Rose's famous line in the movie. |
