"These days, the word legend gets bandied around all too easily, but not here and not today," he said. "My path was fortunate enough to collide with this man some years ago, and certainly since my collaboration with Jerry, my life has never been the same, and probably won't be for a while. "Without Jerry, there would be no Pirates, there would be no Captain Jack, there would be no revived Lone Ranger, there would be no reinvigorated Tonto. So I have a lot to thank him for. "Tom, who worked with Jerry in Days of Thunder in 1990 and looks set to shoot a sequel to cult classic Top Gun with him, looked delighted to be at the ceremony, clapping enthusiastically as the man behind films like The Rock, Bad Boys, Armageddon, Flashdance and Beverly Hills Cop was feted.
