Cinematographer Frank E. Johnson explains why modern audience connect with forgotten B-movies like "Raw Force" (1982) more than the movies made in Hollywood today:
"These were times of bootstrap filmmaking and it was truly an adventure. Those days of course we shot on film and had to have it developed in a local lab in The Philippines. Hollywood still makes movies in remote locations, but has new digital technology that takes a lot of risk out of the day-to-day operations of shooting on location. I always felt that when we were making 'Raw Force', it must have been much like making 'The African Queen' (1951) in Africa in the 40s.
Nowadays we could make 'Raw Force' without having to leave Hollywood. I think modern audiences are more aware of the fact that most big movies are computer generated with a lot of green screen shooting. When they see films from the 80s and before, they connect with the film knowing that it was created under those real conditions."
