5. Quentin Tarentino and Robert Rodriquez
The bromance between QT and RR is well documented. The cumulative of the two director’s bromance came in the supposedly ‘bad on purpose’ Grindhouse (2007) . This may be the most one sided bromance on this list for in terms of actual talent and industry currency in the shared field. What that means is that QT has tons, RR… eh, not so much. Rodriquez is well known for shooting messy along a pressure intense schedule while chopping movies together from rag-tag efforts of cliche that he then attempts to pass on as iconic. Sin City (2005) may be the one exception, however the movie was more pulled out due to Mickey Rourke’s performance, Tarantino’s directorial contributions, and the influence of co-director and creator Frank Miller.
None-the-less, Rodriquez is one of the busiest “in development” directors in Hollywood. His borrowed Tarantino reputation has netted him deals to reboot (probably badly) Predator, as well as hash out another paid-to-make-bad-movie in yet another faux grindhouse snooze-fest Machete. While RR unapologetically rips off Hollywood and fanboys alike with the great ‘bad on purpose’ con, his bro Tarantino continues to fortify their shared reputation with movies like Kill Bill and Inglorious Basterds.
