[in 2001] I directed my first film at 24 years old. I was quite young,and naive, but it was something of a hit and that allowed me to make,many more films.
[Talking about the acting in Galaxy of Terror (1981) ] Everything,in that movie is like a kabuki performance. Nothing is subtle, and,everybody is so amped up.
I like all genres of movies, and horror was popular domestically.
However, action was the most commercially viable worldwide, so I did,Lady Avenger (1988) and Ghetto Blaster (1989) , which did,very, very well.
This led to a fun and playful attitude on the set. This was my adopted,family and I had a blast getting paid to make crazy movies.
