Tony Scott’s battle with inoperable brain cancer may have driven ‘Top Gun,’ ‘Crimson Tide’ director to suicide leap from Los Angeles bridge 
Older brother Ridley Scott spotted at Heathrow Airport in London boarding flight to L.A.

 Action movie maestro Tony Scott reportedly battled inoperable brain cancer before he jumped from a Los Angeles bridge and died Sunday.

ABC News reported the diagnosis citing a source close to the famed director of "Top Gun," "Beverly Hills Cop II," and "Crimson Tide."

I guess he hit terminal velocity?















Bad, I know.

He was showing the libs how to lower their carbon footprint.
There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

RIP Tony.

Ever notice how in a lot of his movies the scenes were shot in dark lighting a la the Godfather movies?

Don't forget that he also directed "the Last Boy Scout"   Remember how dark lit the football field was in the opening scene?
