He also gave so many actors their first break. Just copying from the news: Peter Fonda, Jack Nicholson, Dennis Hopper, Bruce Dern, Diane Ladd, William Shatner, to name a few.

While we're on it, what are some of your favorites? I probably don't know some of the movies I watched made/produced by him.

I know I've always loved "Death Race 2000" (1975). Actually like the re-make too "Death Race" (2008) (and he's listed as an executive producers for that too). The 2008 one really has nothing to do with the 1975 one except for re-using some names but both are good fun.
