==Early life and career==
Antonio Margheriti was born in Rome on 19 September 1930.{{sfn|Fischer|2011|p=422}} Margheriti was the son of a railroad engineer and began his film career in 1950 working with [[Mario Serandrei]].{{sfn|Fischer|2011|p=422}}{{sfn|Fischer|2011|p=423}} He then began making short documentaries beginning with ''Vecchia Roma'' in 1953.{{sfn|Fischer|2011|p=423}} In 1954, Margheriti was credited with special effects in films such as [[Pino Mercanti]]'s ''[[I cinque dell'Adamello]]'' and ''[[La notte che la terra tremo]]''.{{sfn|Fischer|2011|p=423}} By 1955 he was credited in screenplays such as ''Classe di ferro''.{{sfn|Fischer|2011|p=423}}

==Directing==
Margheriti grew up reading science fiction comics, and when he was offered the film ''[[Assignment: Outer Space]]'', he signed on as director.{{sfn|Fischer|2011|p=423}} He followed up this film with ''[[Battle of the Worlds]]'' starring actor [[Claude Rains]],{{sfn|Fischer|2011|p=423}} which was in turn followed by ''[[The Golden Arrow (1962 film)|The Golden Arrow]]'' with [[Tab Hunter]] and some more ''[[peplum (film genre)|peplum]]''-style films such as ''[[The Fall of Rome (film)|The Fall of Rome]]'' and ''[[Giants of Rome]]''.{{sfn|Fischer|2011|p=423}} Other genres tackled in the 1960s included horror—''[[Castle of Blood]]'', ''[[The Long Hair of Death]]'' and ''[[The Virgin of Nuremberg]]'' and the [[Eurospy film]]s: ''[[Bob Fleming... Mission Casablanca]]'' and ''[[Operazione Goldman]]''.{{sfn|Fischer|2011|p=423}}{{sfn|Fischer|2011|p=424}}{{sfn|Paul|2005|p=163}}

Margheriti then returned to science fiction with his ''Gamma I'' series, originally filmed for the Italian television series ''[[Fantascienza]]'' but afterwards released theatrically.{{sfn|Fischer|2011|p=425}} Margheriti followed these films with some [[Western (genre)|westerns]], including ''[[Take a Hard Ride]]'' and ''[[And God Said to Cain]]''.{{sfn|Fischer|2011|p=425}}{{sfn|Paul|2005|p=164}}

In the 1980s, Margheriti created films following the success of ''[[Platoon (film)|Platoon]]''{{sfn|Paul|2005|p=165}} and ''[[Raiders of the Lost Ark]]'', such as ''[[The Last Hunter]]'' and ''[[Hunters of the Golden Cobra]]'', which both starred [[David Warbeck]].{{sfn|Fischer|2011|p=425}} Warbeck also starred in ''[[Tiger Joe (film)|Tiger Joe]]'', a film overshadowed by tragedy when Margheriti's long time cinematographer, [[Riccardo Pallottini]], died in a plane crash while attempting to get the film's last shot.{{sfn|Fischer|2011|p=425}}

He delved into the genre of films inspired by ''[[The Wild Geese]]'' with ''[[Code Name: Wild Geese]]'' and ''[[Commando Leopard]]'' starring [[Lewis Collins]] as well as ''[[Conan the Barbarian (1982 film)|Conan the Barbarian]]'' (1982) with ''[[Yor, the Hunter from the Future]]'', which was shot in Turkey and was picked up by [[Columbia Pictures]] for an American release to 1400 theaters.{{sfn|Fischer|2011|p=426}}

Margheriti died on 4 November 2002.{{sfn|Paul|2005|p=171}}

==Style==
Margheriti's specialty in films was low budget efforts that fell into genres such as action and science fiction.{{sfn|Fischer|2011|p=422}} To make films in short amounts of time, Margheriti applied techniques such as shooting with several cameras simultaneously, allowing him to record master shots, close-ups, and more.{{sfn|Fischer|2011|p=423}} This often led him to light films very carefully, and allowed him to create several films per year.{{sfn|Fischer|2011|p=423}}

In the documentary on the Image DVD release of his film ''Cannibal Apocalypse'', Margheriti proudly mentioned that it was [[Quentin Tarantino]]'s favorite among his films. In Tarantino's film ''[[Inglourious Basterds]]'', [[Eli Roth]]'s character Donny Donowitz uses "Antonio Margheriti" as an alias in an undercover operation at the cinema screening of ''Stolz der Nation''.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Goldweber |first1=David Elroy |title=Claws & Saucers: Science Fiction, Horror, and Fantasy Film 1902–1982: A Complete Guide |date=2015 |publisher=Lulu Press, Inc |isbn=9781312288034 |page=279 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=gfdYCAAAQBAJ&pg=PT279 |language=en }}{{Dead link|date=March 2024 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last1=Fabris |first1=Angela |title=Kaleidoskop Literatur: Zur Ästhetik literarischer Texte von Dante bis zur Gegenwart.
