    • Quotes
      When you work on a Jerry Bruckheimer film, you can be sure of two things: no production value will be spared, and the catering will be as fine as any really really good restaurant. Jerry is an amazing producer, with a commitment to his films second to none.
    • Trademarks
        Films often portray his characters as antagonistic, later evolving more towards a protagonistic quality (Luunmurskaajat (2005)).
