* {{Patricide}}: Many of his films show some kind of conflict between a son and a parent (either literally or metaphorically) which usually ends with the former killing the latter. The ''Alien'' creature kills its host in a way similar to birthing, Batty from ''Blade Runner'' murders his creator Tyrell after calling him father, Commodus kills his dad Marcus Aurelius in ''Gladiator'', Moses opposes Seti I in ''Exodus'', and even ''Black Hawk Down'' contains a scene of a Somali child accidentally killing his own father. David from ''Prometheus'' seems to sum Scott's usage of the trope with the quote "Doesn't everyone want their parents dead?"

A highly accomplished commercial director at his beginnings (he did some of the early Creator/{{Apple}} ads), he would rapidly become an auteur filmmaker. Known for an obsession with visual detail rivaling Creator/StanleyKubrick, if not Creator/AlfredHitchcock. Several of his early works helped establish the popularity of the UsedFuture trope, and he is also one of the (if not ''the'') most prominent directors of {{epic|movie}} {{period piece}}s (and [[MilitaryAndWarfareFilms epic battles]] set in multiple such eras) since TheNineties. He has worked with an incredibly wide variety of genres and budgets, yet somehow maintains his own special touch through it all.
