Can't say I'm surprised by this, he looked awful in the new 88 release Cannibal Holocaust extras. That film is a classic which elevates him above most Italian genre directors, he did some good films but also a lot of average to poor ones. Certainly a complex character who liked to change his mind a lot depending on the audience and changing times. There aren't many key figures of that era around these days. RIP.

He was such a strange personality. I loved his arrogance and quite a few of his films. RIP."No presh from the Dresh!"

Sad news. I like most of his films, obviously CH, but I've watched CUT AND RUN numerous times and I've really warmed up to RAIDERS OF ATLANTIS since the Severin Blu-ray came out. LIVE LIKE A COP, DIE LIKE A MAN is one of the great poliziotteschi films of the 70s. RIP to an intersting filmmaker who had a nicely varied filmography.Why would anybody watch a scum show like Videodrome? Why did you watch it, Max?

Unlike most posters here (I'm assuming), Deodato's most (in)famous movies aren't really my cup of tea, but I love 'Raiders of Atlantis' and 'Cut & Run', and all of his films are united by a sense of simply not giving a fuck what anyone thinks, which is a rare and valuable thing in a filmmaker - RIP.
