Roger was certainly one of the most prolific people in the film industry. He knew how to get the absolute most bang for your buck. Why go to the trouble of building a set for just one movie, when you can just keep using it? Or props? Or costumes? I can't remember which couple of movies they were, but Roger made a second movie with David Carradine, giving him the exact same costume as he'd worn in the previous movie. Corman then inserted loads of action footage from the first movie, so that the outfit would match. If there was a coattail to be ridden, or a trend to cash in on, Roger Corman was going to be there to take advantage of it. Some chose to criticize him for it, but in Hollywood that's just considered to be good business. I can't imagine that Corman ever made a movie that wasn't profitable in short order. Not even the likes of Spielberg or Bay can say that.

Roger Corman lived a long and productive life. Good for you, man! Your legacy will live on for centuries!
