From The TV IV

Bad Hat Harry Productions is a production company started by director/writer/producer Bryan Singer. The company, which produces television shows, video games and films, has produced such well-known films as The Usual Suspects, Apt Pupil, and the first two X-Men movies. Current projects include the sci-fi miniseries The Triangle, Superman Returns, and House, M.D. a hit television show entering its fourth season on FOX.

The name is taken from a scene in the 1975 film Jaws, in which Police Chief Brody, played by Roy Scheider, tells elderly swimmer Harry his opinion of his ugly swimming cap, "That's some bad hat Harry." The scene is reflected in the production company's title card, which uses the line from the film and shows a shark's fin in the background.
