There's not much you can do when a 57-year-old jaywalker steps out in front of your speed-limit-abiding SUV. Except kill her. That's exactly what director John Singleton, the man behind Boyz N the Hood and 2 Fast 2 Furious, did this weekend in Los Angeles. Singleton's not the first Hollywood insider to use his car as a deadly weapon—in fact, the crash initiates him into an exclusive Tinsletown club of auto-wielding killers.

Other members include Brandy "Don't call me Moesha" Norwood, who rammed a car with her Land Rover last year, killing the driver. The woman's two sons have since filed a wrongful death suit against Brandy, seeking $50 million.
