Personal Quote:
[on directing Beverly Hills Cop (1984)] That the film turned out to be coherent is a miracle. That it is successful proves there is a God. See more »Trivia:
He was originally going to direct Rain Man (1988) but abruptly bailed when production was due to start due to "creative differences". Steven Spielberg stepped in but left after a few months, followed by Sydney Pollack who eventually left as well, leaving the project without a director until Barry Levinson signed on.
