John 'Bud' Cardos Movies or Tv Shows (upto Dec 2024) - Watch Online

Versatile and underrated B-movie Renaissance man John "Bud" Cardos was born in 1929 in St. Louis, Missouri. His family has interesting roots in the entertainment industry: his cousin Spiros Cardos worked at Twentieth Century-Fox and his father and uncle managed the lavish Graumann's Egyptian and Chinese theaters. Cardos began his lengthy and extensive show business career as a child actor in Hal Roach's 40s "Our Gang" comedies. He was a rodeo rider in his teen years, and worked as an animal wrangler and bird handler on Alfred Hitchcock's outstanding killer animal classic Die Vögel (1963). Cardos achieved his greatest cult popularity acting in several entertainingly trashy exploitation features for legendary Grade-Z schlockmeister Al Adamson: he's especially memorable as Mohawk-sporting Native American biker Firewater in the splendidly sleazy Die Sadisten des Satans (1969) and as crazed half-breed Joe Lightfoot in the gritty (and often incoherent) western Fünf blutige Gräber (1969). He got into stunt work, and among the films Cardos has performed stunts in are Das Wachsfigurenkabinett des Grauens (1969), the trippy hippie gem Psych-Out (1968), Die grausamen Sieben (1968), Der Mann mit den zwei Köpfen (1971) and Jud (1971). Cardos tackled second unit director chores for Sam Peckinpah's magnificent landmark western The Wild Bunch - Sie kannten kein Gesetz (1969). He was a production manager on many movies; they include the creepy Dead of Night (1974), Killers Three (1968), Rebel Riders (1970), Lash of Lust (1972), Hell's Bloody Devils (1970) and Deadwood '76 (1965). Cardos made his directorial debut with the blaxploitation item The Red, White, and Black (1970). His other directorial efforts include the superior revolt-of-nature horror winner Mörderspinnen (1977), the not-half-bad sci-fi/horror opus The Dark (1979) and the nifty zombie flick Mutant - Das Grauen im All (1982). Outside of his substantial film work, Cardos also does Western art. - IMDb Mini Biography By: woodyanders
