Corman said he was contacted by the producers of METEOR because their special effects team was really behind schedule, and they needed footage of a snow avalanche. Corman had some footage from one of his movies; when his effect team processed it, it came out bright red. They did it again, and this time it was baby blue. Corman figured blue was closer to white than red, and the METEOR folks needed that footage ASAP, so he sent it over.<br /><br />METEOR came out and got a complete shellacking from the critics. Corman remembered reading one critic saying that for a big budget picture, the special effects were awful... with the exception of some very effective avalanche shots.Moncynneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07925379697503137973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-74055069350524161832014-07-08T10:44:41.340-04:002014-07-08T10:44:41.340-04:00I thought Meteor was a great movie when I saw it i...I thought Meteor was a great movie when I saw it in theaters back in 1979. Of course I was only twelve and I have not seen Meteor since. Have to admit, I was one of those adolescent Space: 1970 Kids who bought ALL the merchandise available for Meteor.Ted Harringtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17288201977323794144noreply@blogger.com
