According to Variety, in Triangle of Sadness, the "Captain's Dinner" scene, which ends in an explosion of seasickness, took multiple days to film. The actors had to wear tubes on their faces, and the SFX crew pumped fake vomit - including pieces of octopus and shrimp - out of it. The scene was so complicated to film that it was planned two years before filming began.
As the hellmouth in the 1437 Passion play revealed, medieval theatre used intricate mechanical devices for dramatic storytelling, bringing the concept of hell to life with elaborate effects.
