Andrew Vajna –
Producer, Hungarian, busted blockbuster.
August 19, 1944 – January 20, 2019.
Aged 74 years.
Most recognized for: Back in the golden age of tough-guy cinema, Andy’s production company Carolco cranked out box office behemoths that were steeped in testosterone and dripping with the blood of the non-believers. The first 3 Rambo movies, Total Recall, T2: Judgement Day, Tombstone, Cliffhanger… there was no stopping him. Then along came Showgirls… and Cutthroat Island. Boom. Bankrupt.
