Bad Hat Harry Productions, Inc. [1] is an American film and television production company founded by filmmaker Bryan Singer in 1994. [2] It has produced films such as The Usual Suspects and the X-Men film series, as well as the television series House and Legion .
The company's name comes from a scene in Jaws (1975) in which an elderly man named Harry wears an ill-fitting swimming cap at the beach and teases the film's protagonist Chief Brody for refusing to go in the sea, prompting Brody to retort "that's some bad hat, Harry". [3] The original logo of the company was an animated version of this scene; the current logo, introduced in 2011, is taken from the police lineup scene of the company's first film The Usual Suspects.
