The Sci-Fi Movie Studios Approved Without Knowing What It Was -WESTWORLD (1973)

Westworld wasn’t supposed to matter.

It was rushed into production, approved because it was cheap, rewritten while cameras were already rolling, and released as a small science-fiction experiment. Studio executives didn’t fully understand it. Safety incidents happened on set. New technology was tested with no roadmap. And somehow, the movie kept going.

This video breaks down 16 true, behind-the-scenes facts about Westworld (1973) — not the story, not the mythology, but the real decisions, shortcuts, accidents, and studio choices that shaped the film.

From a 30-day shoot and last-minute rewrites, to on-set injuries, experimental computer imagery, deleted endings, and casting decisions that quietly carried decades of Hollywood history, this is the version of Westworld most people never hear about.

These aren’t trivia facts.
They’re production facts.
The kind that explain how a movie like this actually gets made.
