Classic Line: "I have a job, too...I'm a tool." Trivia: Filmmaker DAVE EDDY was gracious to share some insights about the making of FUTURE WAR. In an amazing coincidence while this cheapie was being filmed, he and some of the crew remarked that it would be great if some day their movie would show up on MST3000! Eddy said that the Damage Control Unit was formed when it became apparent that the original director (TONY DOUBLIN, who quit) was having trouble filming the fight and action scenes to the producers' satisfaction. The DCU took over and tried to salvage the movie as best they could. Eddy has mostly worked as the post-production supervisor for other filmmakers. He did produce and direct 1993's Pocket Ninjas. In 1996, Eddy and cinematographer ED TILLMAN won a Telly Award (for non-broadcast instructional film for children) for Tao of Karate. Want to see more fun FUTURE WAR graphics?

ACKERMAN is seen in this movie plugging the magazine "Famous Monsters of Filmland," of which he was editor for many years. He currently has a lawsuit against the magazine's owners/editors, because of his firing and their insistence that many of the terms (like Dr. Acula) are now their property, not his. In fact, Ackerman is credited for coining the term "sci-fi" when referring to science-fiction. Born in 1916, Ackerman is best known for his collection of sci-fi, horror and fantasy memorabilia, reputed to be the world's largest at 300,000 pieces. You can view some of it via his CD-ROM's or by going on a free tour at his home. Ackerman's first movie credit was the spaceship string-puller in 1955's The Beast with a Million Eyes. He's appeared in over 25 movies including: 1964's The Time Travelers; 1966's Queen of Blood; 1971's Schlock and Dracula Vs. Frankenstein; 1981's The Howling; 1987's Evil Spawn and Amazon Women on the Moon; 1988's Curse of the Queerwolf; 1991's Nudist Colony of the Dead; and 1995's Bikini Drive-In.
