RIP Fugu
The Hollywood Director who's rise to stardom was just as quick as his fall to gutter
First two films he directed were hits
- Thunderbolt and Lightfoot (1974)
- The Deer Hunter (1978 , Won Best Director Academy Award)
Then he made Heaven's Gate one of the biggest box office disasters in history (Some say biggest box office disaster) and his career fell apart. Films was such a disaster it essentially killed careers of manyof United Artists executive board and lead to company's demise and sale
Three more box office bombs followed. Year of the Dragon (1985) , The Sicilian (1987) and Desperate Hours (1990)
Cimino would make only one more movie , Sunchaser (1996) which ended up a direct to video release
Many of his film projects after Heaven's gate never got past development stage
