A new study reveals that Michael Bay, largely due to his work on the Transformers franchise, has destroyed more cars than any other director ever.
According to a new study, director Michael Bay has destroyed more cars than any other director, and it's not even close. Getting his start in music videos before making the leap to feature films with Bad Boys in 1995, Bay is now one of the most well-known Hollywood filmmakers working today. After making hits like The Rock, Armageddon, and Bad Boys II, Bay directed Transformers in 2007, starting a profitable franchise that continues to this day.
A new study conducted by Scrap Car Comparison reveals that, over the course of his long Hollywood career, Bay has destroyed 354 cars. Undoubtedly helped by his five Transformers movies, Bay's total number of wrecked vehicles is well above that of frequent Fast & Furious franchise director Justin Lin, who sits in second place with 135.
While some of the Transformers sequels are widely considered to have missed the mark, Bay's work with the franchise was genuinely ground-breaking. The first entry in 2007 boasted jaw-dropping visual effects and raked in an impressive $709.7 million at the box office.
13 Hours saw Bay take a crack at a true story with a debatable level of success, but 6 Underground and Ambulance saw the director operating at his peak once more. The latter, in particular, may not have been the financial success that the studio was hoping for, but it saw Bay once again delivering his signature brand of action.
