Before that, there was <em>Eating Raoul<\/em>, a sleeper comedy hit from 1982. <em>Raoul<\/em> was the brainchild of Paul Bartel. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    After studying film and theater at UCLA, Bartel got his start in Hollywood working for Roger Corman\u2019s New World Pictures. Corman paid Bartel $5,000 to direct 1975\u2019s <em>Death Race 2000<\/em>, which starred David Carradine and Sylvester Stallone and became a cult favorite. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    \u201cIn the winter of 1979, having worked on several projects that failed to reach the screen, I was fed up,\u201d Bartel once said. \u201cI wanted to do something personal and outrageous; a \u2018fun\u2019 picture that could be made quickly, easily and cheaply and that would give me an opportunity to work with a bunch of my friends.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    In 1982, he co-wrote a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">script<\/a> about a murderous couple with fellow UCLA grad Richard Blackburn. Corman was reluctant to finance the film, so Bartel turned to his parents, who lent him $300,000. He cast himself as the lead, Paul Bland, and his frequent collaborator Mary Woronov \u2014 one of Andy Warhol\u2019s superstars \u2014 as his wife, Mary Bland. The couple are prudish food snobs who live in an L.A. apartment in the waning days of the sexual liberation movement; their neighbors host orgies every day of the week. To fund their dream restaurant, the Blands start knocking off horny swingers with a frying pan. Then a burglar named Raoul (Robert Beltran) catches on and helps dispose of the bodies \u2014 until he becomes inconvenient. The film delivers on its title\u2019s teasing promise in the closing scene. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Despite the taboo material, <em>The Hollywood Reporter<\/em> was quite charmed. \u201cIt\u2019s crammed with clever sight gags and wonderfully witty lines,\u201d raved the review. \u201c[It] may not be a dish to everyone\u2019s taste, but I\u2019d guarantee it a long life on the Saturday midnight <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">movies<\/a> circuit.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    The openly gay Bartel went on to direct several films, including 1989\u2019s <em>Scenes From the Class Struggle in Beverly Hills<\/em>.
