   You bet it was [ Bruce Willis first big film ], it was kind of like a big thing when Bruce Willis got this because Bruce Willis was just on ‘ Moonlighting. ’ This was Bruce Willis first movie, and Bruce Willis was the star of a huge blockbuster and it was very well advertised that Bruce Willis was making $ 5 million, which at the time was unbelievable.

4. Eli Roth:

   When people watch a trailer, they’re judging based on two-and-a-half minutes of material, and if it’s Bruce Willis shooting a gun, cut to AC/DC, some people are going to draw that conclusion. What I really try to do more than anything is show it how it really is, and leave it for the audience to decide, one thing I’m very conscious of as a filmmaker in Hollywood is not telling the audience what to think, or how to think, and you can make the same argument about ‘John Wick’ or ‘Taken.’ Any action movie you can say is a pro-gun movie. It’s giving a story that allows people to discuss a difficult subject. In the same way ‘Get Out’ came out, everyone was allowed to discuss race and racism because of the movie.

5. Roger Federer:
