The episode starts off with "Warlords Of The 21st Century" aka "Battle Truck" and Corman talks about how good the film turned out and how little he really had to do with it except a bit of casting tips for the director and producing the film.
"Wheels Of Fire" and "Crime Zone" are next and we are told stories about how Corman was happy to make the films, but he also felt that they were becoming repetitive and he wanted a change.
Corman then discusses the 1960 film "Last Woman On Earth" and how he felt the film, at the time, was completely different than most films coming out at that time. He also talks about how slow star Robert Towne was in writing the script.
"Future Kick" with Don "The Dragon" Wilson is next in line and Corman talks about how he mixed several ideas into one picture. He worked a future world, a crime drama, kung fu and virtual reality into a money making mix. When he produced "Equalizer 2000" and "Raiders Of The Sun" Corman was seeing that theatrical distribution was drying up for these kinds of movies. Yes they made money but Corman said he wanted a change.
In talking about "The Terror Within" Corman states that he wanted to go back to his monster movie roots and make a monster movie in the future, and that is how this film came into being. A very interesting program indeed.
