Yer Typical Roger Corman Distributor
Like Harry Cohn’s ass, only more defined…
…and here’s the definition: Mr. Roger Corman had a trick. He had to sell films, and knew he had the ten minutes that a foreign distributor would give watching the first part of a film. He thus wisely required that tits and gunplay be in those first ten minutes, thus ensuring his success in all things money.
I agree with Roger Corman in this. No not in the tits and gunplay. Sorry about the typo. No, not just in the tits and gunplay, but generally, the first ten minutes tell you what the film’s going to be. A possibly better explanation: if the first ten minutes of your film aren’t the best trailer you could possibly make, start over.
I only had three minutes.
