It’s not unheard of for a huge flop to kill a director’s career. But usually, there’s no jail time involved. Unfortunately for director John McTiernan, Rollerball isn’t your usual flop.

McTiernan (Die Hard, Predator, The Hunt for Red October) was sentenced to one year in federal prison for lying about his involvement with Anthony Pellicano, a private investigator he hired to illegally wiretap producer Charles Roven. Roven and McTiernan worked together on Rollerball, and apparently when the film went south, so did their relationship.

McTiernan’s attorney argued that he should not be sent to prison, in part, because he is on an anti-depressant medication not approved by the federal Bureau of Prisons. The judge sarcastically responded that "(McTiernan) won’t be the only depressed man in prison."

Daaaaaamn! Yippee-ki-yay, motherf**ker! (Hit Fix)
