* CreatorsApathy: D'Amato [[UpToEleven based much of his career around this thought]], saying that he was often [[OnlyInItForTheMoney more concerned with the box office results of a film rather than its artistic merits]]. Regardless, he gained a sizable cult following in the U.S. with fans apparently lining up by the hundreds for his autograph, much to his disgust and confusion.

Much like Creator/Jesus Franco, D'Amato's credits were quite eclectic, running the gamut from director, producer, cinematographer, screenwriter, and editor. Starting in the 1980s, he took to directing pornographic films, credited under a number of different pseudonyms.
