Rocky – $1 million Budget
Sylvester Stallone has appeared in a number of projects over the years, but Rocky is one of the most famous of these. We all like to watch him in the underdog boxer film that shot him into international fame, right? It is on the low end of this list as well, with only $1 million at its disposal. It’s a good thing the star, together with producers Irwin Winkler and Bob Chartoff, managed to make it all work. It earned $117.2 million in box office sales, three Oscars, and seven sequels. Whoa.

Saw – $1.2 million Budget
Who would have thought that a film about a torture and revenge game would get this popular? James Wan is known for working on low budgets and still churning out awesome results. The first of these would have to be Saw, which launched a long-running series for a number of years. The team only spent 18 days and $1.2 million on the film, yet it has become a horror classic. It does have a lot of gratuitous violence, but we daresay the story is very intriguing as well.
