Also, Oliver Reed’s last film. During production in Malta he went out one day and quite literally drank himself to death. Fortunately for the production most of his scenes were complete.
According to Wikipedia (i.e., 'the font of all knowledge' ;^):
"[Reed] drank eight pints of German lager, a dozen shots of rum, half a bottle of whiskey and a few shots of Hennessy cognac, in a drinking match against a group of sailors on shore leave from HMS Cumberland at a local pub."
Since it was probably ingested over a period of several hours, I doubt it would actually kill most serious drinkers...
