 The initial cinematographer was Dick Bush (qv). However, director  James Cameron (I) (qv) fired him a month into production because  he wasnt satisfied with the lighting, and the two men reportedly  hated working with each other. Cameron then tried to hire  Derek Vanlint (qv), the DP on the previous film. Vanlint wasnt  interested, but recommended Adrian Biddle (qv) for the job.
