Sorry meant to say $59.62

Corman: And, I'll tell ya, for that $62 you're gonna get five set pieces, four action sequences, three full frontal scenes, two penises (human or not, your call), one love scene, and if sexually aggressive fish are your thing you just say the word...this is a no judgement zone.

I got these kids, Johnny Sayles wrote the script with Johnny Nicholson, Jimmy Cameron’s doing the effects, and Joey Dante’s going to direct. Paul Bartel and Mary Woronov are the leads. Only cost me $500 for the lot of them.

Such a fun read.

For $50, I'll make it but I'm not directing and I'll hand it off to somebody... what do we have Francis Coppola doing this week?

Yooba dooba dooba! Corman spent an extra $13 on the talking monster.

Corman: If you bump it up to $109, I can get the local boy scout troop and the American Legion

When asked what his favorite camera to use was, a famous photographer pulled out a pocket instamatic from his coat. "This. If you can't get a good photo with this, then all the fancy equipment in the world won't help you."

Thinking of him and of Roger Corman's film making today.

Hell, Zack Snyder just remade Battle Beyond the Stars for $160m and it’s waaaay worse

The $62 is for the crew's lunch.

The director died too soon. Also did Eating Raoul and a personal favorite, Scenes From The Class Struggle In Beverly Hills.
