“Ishtar” is one of the most famous Hollywood fiascos of all time.

One of the best stories. Advance crew lands in country to set up. One thing on the list is an ugly camel. They go to the camel market and the first camel they see is hideous. They decide that they can’t just buy the first camel and keep looking. The next day they decide that the first camel was, in fact, the ugliest camel available. They go back to the market, but the camel isn’t available because it was already eaten.

Moral of the story? Always buy the first camel
