Turn on the FX channel now to watch a really bad movie I worked on. I get killed a few times and even do a skydive at the end of the movi. B grade at its best. My old Land Rover is also featured!



I assume you mean this film and not the 1986 Chuck Norris/Lee Marvin action hit [url"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090927/"]The Delta Force[/url]. Were you a stuntman? Who did you used to work with?
I don't have an M.D. or a law degree. I have bachelor's in kicking ass and taking names.

Can you answer the question, "Why do people make bad films?"
I have not been able to understand it. Is it just that during the making of it, it just doesn't seem bad yet??


Nope. You pretty much how good/bad it's going to be by reading the script. Why are they made?
1/ To fill the late night spots (they're cheap)
2/ Sneak in a washed out half recognizable name from the 80's in it, and you can sell it to most markets in the world as a "Hollywood" movie.

Thank god there is Dropzone.com for late nights...

Some of the movies I worked on (A Far off Place, Bopha, Tarzan) hoped for a real theater release. Most however were for the cable and more importantly the video stores in the middle east and the far east. The market for B grade action/ war movies is insatiable.
One production company took un-used footage from 6 other movies and spent 3 weeks shooting links between scenes and released a piece of garbage that people still rent.
