You say "wasted" yet they made a SHIT TON of money. A bunch of studios pivoted to ONLY doing parody movies because they raked in MILLIONS. In one of the Louis Theroux documentaries he interviews one of these directors who had been in the business for like 30 years and when piracy was really taking off the only thing still selling was the parody DVD's, which he made hundreds of, and had a warehouse full of all the different ones he produced and hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of props.But it was also still a complete waste of a budget, because it was a porn film, and it was fucking awful. It's obvious they didn't spend the money on the actors, because they were terrible and were a big part of the reason the film was fucking awful. Scorsese these fuckers ain't. I doubt any of the people who put (genuinely good) hard work into the production went on to mainstream success outside the adult film industry (or within it, for that matter). Good for them if they did, but I doubt it was "worth it" for most people involved. Probably some fun stories to tell the kids at Christmas though (once they'd grown up, anyway).
The budget on that first Pirates movie was 1 million. They spent $8 million on the second. You think they did this hundreds of times for literally no reason, just to waste money when they could have just paid some nigger three crack rocks in a warehouse? That second pirates movie sold like 250k copies....the first week.
You're massively underselling how huge that specific industry was before internet porn completely took over. And if you want Hollywood crossover Gianna Michaels made it into Piranha 3DD, the sequel to Piranha 3D, the remake of Piranha. So there's that.
