The whole idea of an exploitation film is to give people most of the
show beforehand.
I never wanted to produce or direct adult hardcore films, because my work ethic in exploitation is: "Sell the sizzle, not the steak".
I have to admit I've made a pretty good living exploiting the lust, greed, and ignorance of the American public.
I've got a high school education in making movies, but a PhD in selling them.
I've exploited the basest human emotions, but the one I exploited most was loneliness. That's who was paying my way, a lot of very lonely men.
I put the film in one end of the projector and out of the other end comes money.
