Joel Schumacher for:

The Lost Boys
Batman and Robin
8MM

EDIT: I didn't realize he also directed A Time to Kill. Obviously a talented director (B&R aside) but he really is a chameleon with no distinct style to his films.

I was also thinking of Schumacher! I won't comment on the quality of his movies (I probably would've mentioned St. Elmo's Fire), but his body of work sure is very diverse.

George Stevens for the last three.

George P Cosmatos, definitely a hack.

Pretty much all of his movies were terrible, including Leviathan, Rambo 2...and then he does Tombstone.

It just did not feel like one of movies at all. And I think there is probably some weight to the rumour that Kurt Russell probably directed most of it.

This is all fine and dandy, but what about your opinion of George Miller's works?

He did some odd movies for sure after the Mad Max trilogy...I would have said he was a spent force, but he redeemed himself with Fury Road.

Uwe Boll

In the Name of the King
House of the Dead

And...Rampage

Such a weird transition.
