Rip guy I've never heard of

I bet he was nice.

He ever direct any big name actors like Johnny Sins?

At first glance I thought this read “RIP Roger Clemens”

At least people have heard of him

Dude was a producer for classics like Sharktopus vs. Pteracuda(2014).

How could you not have? BTW I'm prolly gonna have to watch this now that I saw the trailer

Roger Corman directed a TON of movies. His movies were frequently on Joe Bob Briggs drive-in theatre.

RIP you sweet bastard.

Lotta big titty movies.

RIP.

Never heard of him.

LOVED Joe Bob Briggs.

But Roger Corman…. Dude was a legend. And ****ing brilliant. Mentored soooooo many young filmmakers and actors through his B system. While he might not necessarily be a household name, he mentored many, many “graduates” through his system, that have become legends in their own right. He was never afraid to give talented, young aspiring artists their chance to learn and cut their teeth in the business. There will likely never be another one like him. RIP.

BRC should just have a mega thread for these folks

Just recently started digging into Corman flicks. Definitely some good stuff there.

The man knew what the public liked.

Basically the first true independent filmmaker. Absolute legend. I mean look at his imdb. He has almost 500 producer credits. That's insane.
