Saving Private Ryan Omaha Beach Assault
nother director that’s known to be excessive when it comes to special effects, Steven Spielberg at least put this to good use in Saving Private Ryan. Considered by many to be one of the best World War II movies ever made, its opening sequence alone is iconic which recreates the assault on Omaha Beach.
Notoriously brutal with lots of gunfire deaths and explosions, the Omaha Beach scene cost $12 million alone to shoot though some claim it was more like $11 million. Either way, it involved not just a lot of extras but also tons of prosthetic limbs and fake blood by the barrels.
