Hollywood isn't about what you know, but who you know, and this guy knows EVERYONE. The fact that he makes shit doesn't matter- distributors know him and somehow (don't ask me how), his films sell. Also he probably has a contract with someone (like Ulli Lommel who, in my opinion makes even worse films) so he doesn't even care about the quality of the product he's delivering, he just has to deliver.

Also you said "video game type movies". Let me tell you, right now, if I want to make a film and get it released, if I mention it will look like a video game, it's got a better chance of being released.
And this isn't because these films are better, it's because you guys like watching them (which means they will sell).
