Why is he still making movies?

I wish he did. But his production company that makes garbage action movies for brain dead teenagers lost millions so I guess he needs to refill his pockets.

I actually did a dissertation on how his films aren't 'garbage' and how his early audiences weren't 'brain dead', so, just saying, wanna try and justify your ****** views?

His movies are a mix of plagiary and garbage.

"His movies are a mix of plagiary and garbage."

I guess a bit like Tarantino who the mass media love too.

Luc Besson produces some of the best garbage action films of recent years. "The Transporter" movies and "Colombiana" were all great fun.

Luc Besson came out of retirement with "Angel-A" (which was pretty dreadful to be honest), but in more recent years he seems to be properly back in the game with first "The Extraordinary Adventures of Adele Blanc-Sec" and now "The Lady".
