#5: Endless Watch (1975)

Description

Endless Watch is considered by many to be the quintessential Brand film. Brand is called in when a cutthroat competition between modern-day pirates Brock Bloom and Roman Brackish escalates with the sinking of a Caribbean cruise ship. When Brand kills Bloom in a vicious close-quarters fight, Brackish becomes a pirate king, his fleet striking out from a secret fortress located in the heart of the Bermuda triangle.

Apart from having the most well-known villain, heroine, and locations, Endless Watch is notable for the creation of Calabria Cove. Producer Big Don Calabria had Roman Brackish’s secret lair built on location in California. He moved his family into the huge, cliffside complex after filming, having constructed his dream home using the production budget. Calabria then used the massive cost to offset the box office gross, claiming that one of the top 10 grossing movies of all time never made a penny.
