Shane Black. Does this name mean something to you? If it doesn’t, then make it your business to brush up on this witty American writer, director, producer and all round king of blockbuster action movies. Come closer children and sample our lovely Cheat Sheet….

Who, in the entire history of the movies, has been the most badly behaved? Whose pursuit of sex, drugs and glory was the most relentless, debauched or just downright deplorable? We raise our shot glasses to our Top 10 real life movie LADS, all of whom go to prove that rock and roll is alive, well, and probably trying to sleep with you.
