TV Sports Pioneer Andy Sidaris Dies<\/b><\/a> – AP\/The Post<\/i>
For 25 years, Andy Sidaris<\/b> had a legitimate career as the lead director of ABC’s Wide World of Sports<\/i>. He gave that up to create his own genre of film — Sidaris direct-to-video exploitation cinema. <\/p>\n

The basic plots of his movies involved some former “models” wearing (and not wearing) skimpy outfits and shooting guns. Erik Estrada<\/b> was usually in these movies too. If I recall correctly, you could always count on the following scenes: two female leads changing in front of each other, a pool\/hot tub scene, and the appearance of a long haired guy named Shane to solve a problem and move the plot along. Film theorists often debate significance of magic Shane<\/i> character in contemporary cinema.<\/p>\n

When it came down to it, the Sidaris movies were just really, really bad, even for what they were. In high school, my friend David and I thought it was so clever to heckle this videos. Yes, we were that cool<\/i>.<\/p>\n

One would hve thought that MC Hamme would have noted the passing of illustrious filmmaker but he apparently was mourning someone else.<\/p>\n
