This is the first film directed by James Cameron and was financed by a group of Californian dentists looking for a quick tax write-off. Cameron co-wrote and co-directed it to being able to enter the world of cinema. This happened when he was discovered by Roger Corman. Cameron began as a special-effects supervisor.
