Steve Carver on AllMovie

A directing and writing fellow at the American Film Institute's Center for Advanced Studies in 1970, Carver assisted Dalton Trumbo on Johnny Got His Gun. He began making low-budget exploitationers in the mid '70s, such as the slavery sagas The Arena and Drum and the crime films Big Bad Mama and Capone. Actioners have become Carver's claim to fame, including An Eye for an Eye, Lone Wolf McQuade with Chuck Norris, and River Of Death with Michael Dudikoff.
