So Stallone was paid $3.5 mn for just 1 day of shooting. lol
The officially credited director (Justin Routt) didn't even direct the movie. He just sat there and made hand movements to make it look like he was directing. Also, he is a convicted felon. In 1989, the Miami native was arrested for operating what Reuters described as “the largest illegal steroids laboratory ever uncovered in the United States.” He was sentenced to 22 months in federal prison after pleading guilty to conspiracy, mail fraud and mislabeling of prescription drugs.
The actual guy who directed the movie, Randall Emmet, who is famously known for promising women roles in exchange for sex is not listed anywhere in the movie credits. Stallone never saw him but he was the one who called all the shots.
It's a miracle they finished this movie without any major incident and everyone got paid eventually. lol
Initially, producers told Mississippi officials that "Armor" would be a 15-day film shoot, documents show. Then producers cut it to 10 days, knowledgeable people said. Shooting abruptly wrapped on the ninth day.
It's an action movie shot in just 9 days. Wow.
