    Sad news, but he had been dealing with dementia for a while now so maybe it's for the best? Earlier this year, he went missing and was contemplating suicide.

    He was a mercenary director, and honestly most of his films aren't good, but he managed to make a massive impact on 90s action films. He directed entries in some of the most well known DTV 90s franchises like Kickboxer, Nemesis and Dollman.

    If anyone is looking for somewhere to start with his films, I recommend Cyborg and Brainsmasher: A Love Story.

    RedLetterMedia released a tribute to him and his movies a few days ago on Best of the Worst. I hope he got a chance to see it before he passed. :(

    In the past months, his wife and producer, Cynthia Curnan, had been sharing periodic updates on his condition. More recently, she implored fans to share personal messages with the director after his health began to decline.
