>>104140469>In retrospect I should've expected he was just going to be a studio puppet in the director's chair as it usually goes for these things, but damn.Apparentaly he was pissed since the studios kept pushing for a PG-13 rating and a more "Batman baiting" (term he used) approach despite him wanting to make a more violent script about the current cop situation in america.
American studios are leeches, a bunch of dumbass producers let in by nepotism with the worst hunches possible towards filmmaking, if you're not American or at least British (in some cases, Mexican) you're not getting free control.
Just look at John Woo, the guy completely molded the way action films are made and edited nowadays and yet he had no control whatsoever for his american flicks (only case being Face/Off which is pretty much the only good american film he made and it was pretty shit compared to what he made in Hong Kong).
