If you’ve ever wondered how seriously Michael Bay takes the look of his movies, just ask him about the spacesuits in Armageddon. In the film’s director’s commentary, Bay launches into an unforgettable rant about the early costume designs — and how close they came to ruining his vision.

"I called my line producer and said, ‘Jimmy, we are so fed,’" Bay recalls. The issue? The original spacesuits were, in his words, hideous. “Nothing pisses off Michael Bay more than ugly spacesuits,” he quipped. “If you don’t have a spacesuit that works for a big fing movie star, you are f***ed. Especially ones made by the French.”

Bay specifically blames the film’s French costume designer for the disaster, describing how the first time he saw the suits, they looked more like “Adidas jogging suits on a rack.” In fact, the moment was so traumatic, Bay half-joked he “almost killed [himself].”

The most hilarious part? When he caught the designer red-handed, working on what she called a “space glove.” Bay describes her painting a leather gardening glove gray and sewing rubber onto the knuckles. “It looks like a gardening glove you’re painting gray!” he told her in disbelief.

Needless to say, the final suits in the film turned out better — but only after a whole lot of drama, panic, and Michael Bay being, well... Michael Bay.
