Michael Bay notes on the commentary one day when he and his line producer, Bruce Pustin, got into a heated argument over one shot, the shot where the bad guy's flaming body gets spit out of the exploding airplane. Everything was setup for the shot on the day they were to film it, but weather kept them from achieving it. A week before production was set to complete, Pustin announced they were wrapped. Bay argued they didn't get the shot, that it was "where the audience claps." Bay worked out overtime for the crew out of his own pocket, $25,000, which he mentions was a quarter of his fee, and got the "audience" shot. When he presented it to the studio, the shot included the check he had written that read, "To Columbia Pictures, from Michael Bay, $25,000, a quarter of my directing fee." He also notes he was, at that point, ready to walk away from the movie business altogether.
