Low-Budget Action

Johnnie to? Haywire?

Escape From New York had a budget of 6 million in 1981

El Mariachi, for one. Totally low-budget, and quite watchable, at parts.

Hell comes to Frogtown, not really action though

>>82402674
Is that a fact?

I love the movie but it's a lot less heavy on action than one might expect.

>>82402659
I'll check To's films out, and Haywire i've been meaning to see for a while.

$7,000 US at the time of shooting, iirc. Shining example of low-budget action, it's why I used it as the OP.

Sounds silly, I'm interested.

Also the sequel to El Mariachi...

Desperado (7 million)

All of the low-budget go-tos like El Mariachi etc are just fucking really god damned terrible.

You live in the age of crowdfunding. If you have a genuinely good concept you don't have to make a $7000 movie.

Hard Boiled (1992) too

That's true but at the same time part of me romanticizes 90's-style indie filmmakers, I hear all these stories about people starting with nothing and spinning gold out of straw (Tarantino, Rodriguez, Kevin Smith even though he's a fucking hack) and I think "That's the kind of shit I want to do".

His 10-minute film schools are fucking fantastic. I actually took a little inspiration from his video storyboarding idea when I went looking at a convenience store for a one-page script I wanted to do (pic related, I ran it through a Prisma filter so I could better think of it as a Storyboard).

John Woo is the real nigga. I've a huge respect for gun-fu and The Killer is one of my favorites.

Forgot pic. Posted it here before, the /fmg/ threads that were popular at the time got in a huge debate over whether or not this counted as storyboarding.

Mad Max had fuck all money in it (extras were paid in beer) but it's a very good first movie

Yeah, from what I heard the outfits were bought from an S&M club that was going out of business.

I never watched the first all the way, but I'll give it a run.

I just recently made this for school, I won a $300 gift card to a photo/recording/camcorder site
B&H because that was the prize for the 48 hour film contest

DRIVEANON BB YOU FUCKIN' DID IT

And it's pretty good, too. I'm glad you got that shit made, it's impressive. Couldn't see a lot of it because Shaky Cam but for 48 hours you did pretty damned good.

I actually had less, that whole thing was filmed and edited by my girlfriend and I from around 10pm-7am roughly the next day. I appreciate it dude, but the speeding up was just the character running away, and it was shaky because first person view. Thanks again so much I had to make a makeshift camera stabilizer too lol

I feel it. It reminded me a little of this one that I did a couple years ago. Had to write and shoot it in 2 hours because I was a lazy fuck and didn't know how to plan a one-take.
