* AlanSmithee: Attempted by Tony Kaye. He wanted to be credited as "Humpty Dumpty" instead of "Alan Smithee", which was flatly rejected. This lead to a war of words culminating in a $200-million-plus lawsuit between Kaye and New Line, and probably costing Creator/EdwardNorton an Oscar. Additionally, this incident was one of the factors, along with the critical massacre of BoxOfficeBomb ''Film/AnAlanSmitheeFilmBurnHollywoodBurn'', that would result in the moniker being retired for good in 2000.
