What is the biggest budget AV Release movie ever made? What about the biggest budget in IV ?

[lpcs1]

If we factor in the Actress' reputation , the number of participants, the crew , location costs, complexity of the script, particularities of the setting etc. What would be your list of the most expensive JAV titles / IV titles ever made?

I know most of you are gonna mention 500人SEX , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/500_Person_Sex
... but is it really?

On the IV side some of Tsubasa Akimoto's releases like KIDM-613 look pretty darn exepensive . What's your guess?

On the Junior aspect of things, i'm gonna say that Rei being the biggest star in the genre toward the end of her JI career, some of the last titless must have cost a little fortune

DEEP's (owned by SOD at the time) produced one that I believe ran $200,000USD'ish.

Surprisingly, western porn takes the crown for priciest production. Look at Pirates and Pirates 2 running in the millions.

Oh, and before people say Caligula, that doesn't count as it was originally not shot as a porn.

Basically erotic films from golden era was more expensive than today porn, because they used equipments and crews same like real non porn films

but Inertia has mentioned, sadly many of those films was inserted with additional hardcore materials, some are stolen scene from other films of loops

For JAV my guess are vids with big orgy scene involved many top AV Idols, example : Moodyz's bako bako bus tour, Rocket join production with other studios

Those production need days to shot, big place and plenty girls
