I realize that, despite both happening to work as directors in film, the Scott brothers produced completely different, incomparable projects, but even so...Yes, Ridley Scott is aces, but Tony deserves far more love! The man was a genius within his own medium. Similar to how he points out at the start here, how one of Quentin's major strengths is his ability to include both darkness and humor in equal measure; Tony was able to put out frenetic, pulse-raising action pieces with the best of them...but unlike the overwhelming majority of the rest of those pictures, his works weren't hollow at the center, there was a legitimate, beating heart underneath that roaring chrome engine.
@@rooroo8767 I agree. It was the perfect decade after the paranoia of the seventies, the excess of the eighties, and before the social media fueled hatred and violence of the 2010s. Also, in terms of films, it was filled with original stories that would be remade twenty years later
I swear the film game changed after this man’s death. He was my favorite director, under appreciated. Still waiting for someone to step up to this caliber.
A STUPID film fanatic will say TOP GUN was a Blockbuster because of Tom Cruise . A REAL film fanatic will say " Sir Tony Scott made Tom Cruise a f#$king star . TOP GUN is still one of the best American military movies and it was made by a British director . TOP GUN was a Blockbuster because of Sir Tony's work as a director .
Honorable mentions go to Samuel L. Jackson, Bronson Pinchot, Tom Sizemore & Chris Penn, but the most honorable one goes to Saul Rubinek playing a sleazy big-time Hollywood producer/cokehead to a perfection! Although I’m sure Tony had huge input creating the character having worked with Bruckheimer/Simpson his entire career😎
@@moawaleh4470 I am sure that it was this role that led to him becoming Tony Soprano, because he shows his evil side and his sweet side and I for one certainly remembered his name after it.
Any other interviews with Tony on True Romance?Any information will be put on your “good side” at the Pearly Gates. Well, just be cool and share anything you can. Thanks folks.
One of the great directors of Hollywood who left everyone shocked when he jumped from the famous bridge of San Francesco !! And it seems to me that he wasn't buried because they didn't find his body!! Amen ❤️
With the wrong director, this could have been a messy disaster and could have put the breaks on Tarantino's metoric rise. Quentin should be so grateful that Scott did it right.
Because he had an untreatable brain tumour that was gonna kill him very soon. Perhaps he saved both himself and his family prolonged pain and suffering by doing so since there was no alternative. Loved True Romance, guys a legend in my eyes..RIP Tony
