I think action movies on the whole have moved more and more into large spectacle, even leaving out super hero movies that seem to me to be more a fantastic science fiction than they are action movies.

More quotes by Walter Hill
I liked Batman because he was more grounded. I never liked Superman much or Captain Marvel or Shazam.
Walter Hill
I'm doing my best. I read in the paper that I'm an action director. They always say that, Action director Walter Hill, if they bother writing about me at all. I think that's fine. I'm happy to do the work.
Walter Hill
I don't much like looking back.
Walter Hill
There's a tricky tone where you try to get some humor into a movie that's also a tough tale of murder and revenge. You have to ice skate rather carefully between the humor and the action tension part of the drama.
Walter Hill
Action movies to me are dramas with recognizable human beings that are in extraordinary situations.
Walter Hill
I'm always happy to talk to somebody it's flattering that people remember your movies. Especially some movie that you did, for Christ's sake, almost 35 years ago, or what's especially pleasant is if you're talking about some movie that you did 35 years ago and they're 20 years old.
Walter Hill
Naturally we need black men to give this movie serious credibility.
Walter Hill
Well, I'm about to do another western, a pilot for HBO this fall.
Walter Hill
I've always wanted to do a boxing movie.
Walter Hill
The graphic novel form really interests me and I like the freedom that format offers.
Walter Hill
I mean no film is beyond criticism, but I think we've made a very modest movie.
Walter Hill
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.
Walter Hill
I did have an offer to direct one of the Alien movies but I wasn't too excited about all the effects work.
Walter Hill
I think the problem with the cinema currently is that so much of the money that goes movies that offer a certain kind of repetition.
Walter Hill
I tend not to look back. It's confusing.
Walter Hill
I'm not even against superheroes. It's not my cup of tea. But there's just this endless stream of them and they are so repetitious and suspend certain rules in a way that I don't find dramatically helpful. The imperviousness can be too much.
Walter Hill
All producers encourage you, whatever it is, to make it more-so. If you've got a joke, can it be funnier? If you've got an action sequence, can it be more exciting? That's the nature of being a producer.
Walter Hill
I get a great high from writing.
Walter Hill
You as an audience can look at these things as films, but I remember them as social experiences.
Walter Hill
When people are still getting pleasure from something that you did 30 years ago, it makes you feel good. I always say it makes an old man happy.
Walter Hill
