SO LONG, BERT I. GORDEN (MR. B.I.G.)...

  

Mr. B.I.G.--that's what you called yourself, and filmmaker Don Glut did much to promote your apt label, all for good cause. As a director/producer/writer/tech-effects man, you gave exploitation fans some of the biggest, drive-in events ever conceived!

Just consider your towering queue: King DinosaurThe CyclopsThe Amazing Colossal ManWar of the Colossal BeastEarth vs The SpiderBeginning of the EndAttack of the Puppet PeopleThe Magic SwordEmpire of the AntsVillage of the GiantsFood of the GodsThe Mad BomberThe Boy and the PiratesPicture Mommy DeadThe Witching; and Burned at the Stake.

You were shameless in your get-it-done zest, Mr. Gorden, with your finger always on the pulse of what people love. That love will only continue, enchanting audiences who prefer their fantasies nothing less than large and in charge.
