I suspect that it was cheaper to just gather up whatever actors were at hand than it was to try and insure they all looked like they would be part of one ethnic group. And ido, this is just my humble opinion but I think you're right on the money in regards to Franco's main interests.Nine-Fingered Menacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05805957315306533577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9109073679101688906.post-44368883272808824642012-05-06T08:07:40.137-04:002012-05-06T08:07:40.137-04:00I'm no expert, either, but it has to be intent...I'm no expert, either, but it has to be intentional.

I'm no expert of Franco's films, but personally I think his main interests were to show female nudity, wonky camera angles/editing, and (if possible) nightclub routines.idohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04182559907045813643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9109073679101688906.post-34150146149748588502012-05-06T06:29:58.178-04:002012-05-06T06:29:58.178-04:00*takes a quick look at the worshiper-centric scree...*takes a quick look at the worshiper-centric screen caps I have lying around*<br /><br />Holy crap! You really know your Devil Hunter. They're like the Benetton ad of cannibalistic jungle dwellers.
