LOS ANGELES (AP) - Russ Meyer, who helped spawn the "skin flick" with such films as "Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!" and "Vixen," has died. He was 82.
Meyer died Saturday at his home in the Hollywood Hills, according to his company, RM Films International Inc. Spokeswoman Janice Cowart said Meyer had suffered from dementia and died of complications of pneumonia.
Meyer's films were considered pornographic in their time but are less shocking by today's standards, with their focus on violence and large-busted women but little graphic sex.

Dementia and pneumonia... those are opportunistic complications from AIDS...Or more likely at 82 years of age, alzeimers disease.

My heart breaks: no mention of his Oscar-worthy performance as a porno video store clerk in "Amazon Women on the Moon."

He once told me there was no such thing as a sex scene that couldn't be improved by cutaways to Demolition Derby or rocket launches.
Needs more explosions and FIRE!

"Dementia and pneumonia... those are opportunistic complications from AIDS" True. But these problems are also common complications of Altzhiemers(sp?) and Parkinson's Disease.
