More from Wall Street

Wall Street (Oliver Stone's Commentary, 2000) Wall Street was an extension of Scarface. Wall Street (Oliver Stone's Commentary, 2000) This is about getting into a corporation, screwing it up, putting in poison pills so your competitor can’t swallow it…. Very intricate game played in the 1980’s…. Mike Milken did it with junks bonds, Drexel Burnham. Wall Street (Oliver Stone's Commentary, 2000) I’m ambivalent. I like Gekko, which is partly why Michael Douglas did so well…. Gekko is despicable but kinda fun too.
