Anyone know why Tony Scott, director of Top Gun and Beverly Hills Cop II, killed himself?

[LLL]

The Hunger had one thing going for it, and I think we all know what that was.

[Sloppy Joe]

It's just art is subjective. I'd imagine you didn't like the jokes made at MCA's expense when he died.

And also not to get into a debate here but Tony Scott made (in arguably) at least 3 great movies and a lot more that were simply good.

First of all, I don't care who jokes about anyone dying or anything else. I think 100% of things are OK to laugh about. Second, you're right that art is subjective, and I think it's funny that anyone would say he made three great movies. He made True Romance, which was great only until the last half hour and only because it was written by Quentin Tarrantino. Crimson Tide wasn't all that bad, but that's mostly because the script was doctored by Quentin Tarrantino. When Quentin Tarrantino kills himself, I'll be kind of bummed.

Does anyone else think that Tarantino is a little bit overrated?

Pulp Fiction is great but I think the rest of his movies are just okay.

Yup - there were three hot chicks in that movie, and two of them had sex with each other.

Yes, he is somewhat overrated for sure at this point, but he made three great movies right out of the gate (not just PF), and Inglourious Basterds was at least a partial return to form. Never listen to him being interviewed if you're trying not to hate him, though.

It turns out that he allegedly had inoperable brain cancer.

Oh...

Also looks like it was inoperable brain cancer.

[JUSTIFIEDhomicide]

Rumor has it he jumped because he had inoperable brain cancer

[LLL]

Rumor has it he jumped because he had inoperable brain cancer

Wow... That's fucking crazy.

Wow... That's fucking crazy.

I know, wouldn't the preferred method for a rich guy be hospice with a shit loan of morphine??

[DRK Star]

and it turns out its NOT due to inoperable brain cancer.














....suckers.....

[RichardBrodiesCombover.]

Went out on his own terms. Something you should think about, slimt.



























Word on the street he jumped due to inoperable brain cancer.

I would have thought he would choose the blowing your brains out option.

[donkeykilla]

I think he killed himself because he was unhappy.

I heard that he killed himself because he didn't want to live anymore.

[SixToedPete]

He jumped off the Vincent Thomas Bridge in San Pedro, which is southern Los Angeles.



This is a weird bridge, because you see a bunch of industrial stuff if you look off to the left and right.

Anyway, I wonder why this guy killed himself. Was he not getting work anymore?

Is that a toll bridge?

If so, his estate has a strong case to get half the toll back.

It's the port you see. I go there for some seafood from time to time.

More news, they found a suicide note and in it Scott relates a rather horrific upbringing.

Among the atrocities he suffered

Never had a pony.

[RobbieBensonFan]

Turns out Tony did not have brain cancer. I have had several around me die of cancer. It's pretty rare just to jump off a fucking bridge, generally you get your business in order, say farewell to family and go out gracefully.

Jumping off a bridge, generally speaking you have simply went nuts. Or he was hiding something. To leave a family behind and just jump off a bridge due to cancer does not make any sense.

Dont let the media fool ya the dude was a party monster like no other unlike his brother Ridley. If anyone wants to have an amazing read of a book PLEASE PLEASE read the book HIGH CONCEPT about a good buddy of Scott;s and Bruckheimers named Don Simpson. There are a ton of Tony tales in there and I have a feeling that it was a drug or maybe financial thing but who really knows with these Hollywood guys. Here are a few gems from HIGH CONCEPT!
----------
In Don Simpson's body were the following drugs: Toradol, Librium, Ativan, Valium, Depakote, Thorazine, Cogentin, Vistaril, and Lorazepam. There were also 19 others, including morphine. His monthly prescription bill was in excess of 60,000 dollars a month. With his booze and coke habit at all, its apparent the Don was not a fussy eater.

There is still a claim against Simpson’s estate for $53 million by the father of his personal physician, Dr. Stephen W. Ammerman, who was found dead from a multiple drug overdose in the pool house on Mr. Simpson's estate.

He signed Tony Scott to direct TOP GUN even though he wanted to change the script. Tony really wanted to make McGillis look whorish. You know we based her role on a real woman I knew with a degree in astrophysics and an ass to die for.

Scott said Simpson had testosterone implants implanted in his buttocks but they malfunctioned and led to him ripping a door off a trailer in a hulk-style act of aggression. His producing partner, Jerry Bruckheimer, replied, "Whatever you're on, get off it."

Scott is on the far left and Simpson is standing next to him...

[Vwls]

He was addicted to molesting young boys and had been found out.
