See what a little money will get you?

Rico says in the way of the world, quality does not matter:

Zone of Fire is yet unmade.
A Town Called Hell was released in 1972.
Zone of Fire will cost, if Rico's lucky, less than ten thousand dollars. (Send your greatly-appreciated contribution here, or invest by sending Rico an email)
A Town Called Hell probably cost well over a million dollars, given the cast, even though it was shot on the cheap in Mexico.
Zone of Fire will have (even if Rico does say so himself) an excellent, historically-accurate script, written by Rico.
A Town Called Hell had a wretched script written (probably for a lot of money) by Richard Aubrey.
ZoF will be directed by Rico.
A Town Called Hell was directed by Robert Parrish, whose career ran to 1990. ("Robert Parrish was an Academy Award winning film editor who also directed and acted in movies. Mr. Parrish appeared as a child in films during the early 1930's such as City Lights by Charles Chaplin and All Quiet on the Western Front. As an editor, Mr. Parrish won an Academy Award in 1947 for Body and Soul, the Robert Rossen film that starred John Garfield as a money grubbing, two-timing boxer on the make. The two men worked together again on All the King's Men, an account of the rise and fall of a Louisiana politician that won the Academy Award for Best Picture in 1949. Mr. Parrish then moved on to direct films during the 1950s.") Rico says he should've known better than to work on this turkey without a pseudonym, but he's dead now, so we won't say anything else bad about him...
Zone of Fire will star Timothy Patrick Miller and a huge cast of people no one ever heard of as actors before.
A Town Called Hell starred (amazingly) a lot of well-known actors, who undoubtedly did it for the money (and should've known better): Telly Savalas, Robert Shaw, Stella Stevens, Fernando Rey, Michael Craig, Martin Landau, Al Lettieri, and a bunch of lesser-knowns.
Zone of Fire will be, if we can ever get it made, well worth seeing, hopefully more than once. (We're hoping for the History Channel.)
A Town Called Hell was, charitably, a vintage piece of shit, and not worth seeing once, even free...
