I remember watching Death Race 2000 as a child, not a bad age to go.

 

[Pliny Pete]

He made the 1994 Fantastic Four movie which had some of the greatest bad practical effects of all time, i will always appreciate him for that

 

[Sobek]

Thats quite an innings

[Tone C]

RIP.

Knew the name but not what he'd directed. Interesting mix .

 

[Plissken]

Nooooo. One of the all time most important figures in cinema history. He did the Criterion Closet just earlier this year and though you could tell his age was catching up to him he still seemed to be in better shape than a lot of people in their 70's.
Rest in peace to one of the all time greats.

 

[Takes_Two_To_Tango]

He lived a long life. And contributed a lot to the industry. RIP

 

[Chesten_Hesten]

The Raven was dope

 

[Fedorgasm]

Isn't he the guy that made terrible titty movies?

 

[blaseblase]

As in D instead of F?

yaknow what, i’d prob give it a C, C- tbh

fwiw, i think Trank’s Fan4stic is a super solid D+ because there was a lot that movie did right (body horror elements when the team is first coming to terms w/ their powers & the Doom-in-hospital scene in particular), but the wrongs were especially brutal to the point that they overshadowed (what i assume to be) Trank’s vision for the movie

I keep mixing them up, too.
You're thinking of Russ Meyer, probably.
