Roger Corman is the undisupted King of the Low Budgt B Movie

Yes he domninated the biker, horror, mood of the minute B genre. And one can see the earliest scenes of Jack Nicholson, Stallone, and others as their career were getting underway.

He was the first to go direct to video. And today he still churns out a movie a month on the razor thin budget of perhaps $5 M.

This is an interesting study in being ahead of the marketing curve as well as managerial accounting.
