Sci-fi flop on Amazon Prime: Val Kilmer and Tom Sizemore have fallen out at Red Planet
However, it went down in film history for a completely different reason: long before the film flopped at the box office, the background reports caused a sensation. Because between the two main actors, Val Kilmer and Tom Sizemore, there was a regular crash on the set, as the New York Daily News reports.

At the time, Kilmer already had a reputation for being “difficult”. He and Sizemore would bicker over every little thing, so sometimes Doubles had to be used, as the two refused to be on set at the same time. A particular point of contention: Sizemore’s weight bench.
Kilmer was shocked to discover that his co-star had a weight bench shipped right to the set so he could work out between takes. Outraged, Kilmer is said to have weighed his fee against that of Sizemore. He earns ten million US dollars and Sizemore only two. But why does he get a weight bench delivered?
Sizemore is said to have thrown a weight (23 kg) at Kilmer. After that it was common rotation impossible. Many years later, Sizemore revealed to the Daily Beast that Red Planet was one of the biggest missteps of his career and that he regretted his behavior. He has since reconciled with Kilmer.
