A guy from work and I came up these some of the rules about making a Jerry Bruckheimer. You see there are certain rules Mr. Bruckheimer follows to make sure he has a hit on his hands, and he uses them over and over again. And People flock to theater to watch his movies.
1 Always have hip pop/rock/rap song tied to the Movie. The best way to market the movie is to have a really cool catchy song that can be shown on MTV and played on countless radio stations. Then, have a “Soundtrack” released a week before the movie with “Cool” songs that are never heard in the movie.
Examples, Bad Boys and Bad Boys 2.
2 Must have an intense car chase in the movie somewhere. This is a must if you want to make a Bruckheimer movie! You see the bad guys jump into a car or truck and run from the good guys. The good guys then must jump into the fastest car that they can find and give chase. The chase moves through key areas of the city with considerable damage to areas left behind. With all this damage, only the bad guys can be killed and nobody else is hurt ever.
The chase ends with one of the Characters telling the other one, “Nice driving, bro.”
Example, uh, every Bruckheimer movie.
3 There must be a narrow-minded Captain/chief that never listens to the logical police thinking from the rebel Heroes of the movie. In all Bruckheimer movies with cops, there has to be a commander that hates the heroes and threatens to have them fired if they don’t get the job done. If the commander is black, then he has to yell and cuss.
Example: Beverly Hills Cop 1 and 2, Bad Boys 1 and 2, many more.
4 The hero (star) must be a rebel of some type. This hero must be a maverick and never want a partner. He must be single or at least have a haft-hearted break up with his model girlfriend. He doesn’t follow rules, yet “He’s the best” at what he does. The hero must be good looking too. Remember, you want women to watch your movie too, because they’ll keep coming back to watch it (think Titanic).
Example: Well, Top Gun, forget it, every movie, just rent them
5 Must have Hans Zimmer or a sound a like composing the score for the movie. Hans Zimmer does over the top scores with overblown loud tracks with beat-machines. If you can’t get Hans, get one of his friends/students to score the film, because you’ll never know the difference. Try Mark Mancina, Trevor Rabin, Klaus Badelt, Harry Gregson-Williams, John Powell, Nick Glennie-Smith
