Concorde Affaire '79 (1979) (Italian: "Affare Concorde" ), also known as The Concorde Affair, is an Italian action thriller directed by Ruggero Deodato and written by Ernesto Gastaldi and Renzo Genta.
 Released in the same year as "The Concorde ... Airport '79" and featuring actor Joseph Cotten, who appeared in "Airport '77", the film was an attempt by producers to take advantage of the success of the "Airport" film franchise of the 1970s.
Waves Of Lust (Italian: "Ondata di piacere" , also known as "A Wave of Pleasure") is a 1975 Italian erotic thriller-drama film directed by Ruggero Deodato and starring John Steiner and Silvia Dionisio.
Cannibal Holocaust is a 1980 Italian cannibal horror film directed by Ruggero Deodato from a screenplay by Gianfranco Clerici.
 It stars Carl Gabriel Yorke, Robert Kerman, Francesca Ciardi, Perry Pirkanen, and Luca Barbareschi.
 Influenced by the works of Mondo director Gualtiero Jacopetti, the film was inspired by Italian media reporting of Red Brigade terrorism.
 The coverage included news reports Deodato believed to be staged, an idea which became an integral aspect of the film's story.
 "Cannibal Holocaust" was filmed primarily in the Amazon rainforest of Colombia with indigenous tribes interacting with American and Italian actors.
Ruggero Deodato (born 7 May 1939) is an Italian film director, screenwriter, and actor.
Hercules, Prisoner of Evil (Italian: "Ursus il terrore dei Kirghisi" , 'Ursus, Terror of the Kirghiz' ) is a 1964 Italian "peplum" film directed by Antonio Margheriti and an uncredited Ruggero Deodato.
 Deodato, the official assistant director, replaced Margheriti as he was busy with the completion of the film "The Fall of Rome".
 Deodato actually directed most of the film in actuality but Margheriti was credited as the director.
 The film is filled with a variety of horrific themes and elements, featuring a killer werewolf, and is as much a horror film as it is a peplum.
The cannibal boom is a period in the history of exploitation film, lasting roughly from 1977 to 1981, where cannibal films were at the peak of their popularity in Grindhouse theaters and cinema.
 Though Umberto Lenzi started the cannibal genre with his film "Man from Deep River" in 1972, it was not until Ruggero Deodato released his film "Last Cannibal World" in 1977 that the concept of cannibal films began to catch on.
 Although five cannibal films were made in 1977 and 1978, none were released in 1979 (though Deodato's "Cannibal Holocaust" was in the works).
 In February 1980, Deodato released "Cannibal Holocaust", which was the start of a chain of seven similar films to be made and released in the same year.
 The following year, however, in 1981, only two cannibal films were made (one of them was "Cannibal Ferox", second in notoriety only to "Cannibal Holocaust").
 Only four other cannibal films were made after 1981 until the fad's conclusion in 1988 with Antonio Climati's "Natura Contro".
Phantom of Death (Italian: Un delitto poco comune ("An Uncommon Crime") is a 1988 Italian giallo film directed by Ruggero Deodato.
 It was also distributed under the title Off Balance.
