- Derek Cracknell reportedly undermined the authority of director James Cameron while filming "Aliens" (1986), because he viewed Cameron as inexperienced and undeserving of the position. Cameron eventually fired Cracknell, but the entire Pinewood production crew walked out in protest and Cameron had to negotiate with them over their working conditions.
