TV Director

Seeing a few minutes of the film on You Tube, the thought "TV director" occured, and sure enough, Brame is a unionized TV, freakin' director. You can tell because he keeps things in a single master frame with very little coverage (watch those daily expenses, man) and uses a freakin' zoom to introduce his characters over and over...man boring. Daddy, you need Kung Fu back on the air so you can shine!

Disagree. Cycle Savages is the apex of the biker genre, more real than a dozen Roger Corman flops.

PS and zoom shots rule! The cinema of the 60s/70s was so brilliant, compared to today's sterile corporate cgi crap.
