In 1959, Savage wrote and produced the film Street Fighter, which was apparently based on his own brushes with the law as a juvenile and his stay at the Meriden School for Boys in Meriden, Connecticut. Savage also appeared in the movie. In 1964, Savage directed, produced and starred in The Creeping Terror, considered one of the worst films of all time.
