RIP Roger, thanks for Gunslinger, The Undead, Deathstalker and the Warriors from Hell and so many more.
Reposting this from elsewhere:
Roger Corman is responsible for the careers of:
Francis Ford Coppola
Martin Scorsese
James Cameron
Peter Bogdonavich
Joe Dante
Ron Howard (as a director)
Jack Nicholson, Robert De Niro, Bruce Dern and Ellen Burstyn all started their acting careers in films Corman was responsible for.
Quite a career.
We need Smolkin to recite some weird rhyme in his honor. RIP
Did you ever know that you’re my hero
And everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle
For you are the wind beneath my filth.
Now who’s gonna make our movies in 10 days for $500 and a pack of chewing gum??!!
Don’t ask him to reincarnate. Roger Corman doesn’t do multiple takes.
