Film Your Video Store Shelf interviews David Prior, writer and director for Action International Pictures purveyors of straight to video masterpieces: "During the 80s and 90s Action International Pictures was known as the go-to-company for low-budget schlock. That’s not meant as an insult to the company. The quote above by one of AIP’s three founders, David Prior, demonstrates that the people behind movies like Mankillers, Future Force, and Space Mutiny knew that their perogative was shooting guns, flipping cars, and exploding anything combustible. People didn’t rent AIP movies to see something with meaning. They rented them to see macho heroism and stock footage of missile blasts."
