Purple Answers: Revealed & Explained

ACTION MOVIE DIRECTORS BAY CARPENTER SCOTT WOO

Once these were the only words left we are proud to say we noticed the connection. John CARPENTER and John WOO are two of our most favorite directors of all time. It's certainly a weird choice given his entire line of work, but as a young kid, I was obsessed with Hard Target starring Jean-Claude Van Damme. It is absolutely not his best, but it's my favorite John WOO movie.

We also questioned SCOTT, could this be Tony Scott who did Top Gun and True Romance? Or are they speaking about Ridley SCOTT of Alien and Gladiator fame? I think it could go either way, both are fantastic action-movie visionaries.
