Why Tony Scott Was Asked To Direct Top Gun

Although Tony Scott had directed the rather cool horror movie, The Hunger, it was this advert for Saab that got him the gig of directing Top Gun - one of the highest grossing movies of the 1980s. Made for Swedish car manufacturer Saab, the ad depicts a Saab 900 Turbo racing against a Saab 37 Viggen fighter jet. Excess, peach sunsets and homoerotic imagery - power-ballad-tastic!
