What Walter Hill has done for a first time

Originally planned for his Streets of Fire (1984) to be the first in a trilogy of films centering on the character of Tom Cody, played by Michael ParÃ©, but the film's box office failure put an end to that project.
Hill became a film fan at an early age, and the first film he remembers seeing was Song of the South (1946).
Hill says he wrote the first half of The MacKintosh Man (1973) but the rest was done by "seven other people". He says he never saw the final product but was told it was "a real bomb".

Walter Hill's quotes

It always surprises me when people call 48 Hrs. (1982) a "buddy picture" because those guys pretty much hate each other - it's an anti-buddy movie!"
I always say this about 48 Hrs. (1982).: I never claim it's the best movie or anything like that, but it did turn out to be a very imitated film.
(On Extreme Prejudice (1987)) "I don't think it was understood how much genre parodying was involved in that picture. It rather mystified a lot of American critics but it has its defenders."
(On Southern Comfort (1981) "No studio wanted to make it, but an independent guy showed up who had a relationship with Fox. Liked it, said he would finance it."
(On Trespass (1992)) "I wanted to make a down-and-dirty thriller. I wanted to shoot it in a fast, hard style. I wanted to work off the cuff, making it all happen right there."
(On Undisputed (2002)) "Some say Hollywood movies that are made about boxing are just metaphors for other things, I think I've made one that's actually about boxing and not a metaphor."
No director is modest. We are engines of ego and ambition, and we disguise it in different ways.
