René Cardona Jr., a Mexican filmmaker of significant renown, entered this world on May 11, 1939, in the bustling metropolis of Mexico City, situated within the Distrito Federal, a federal entity that serves as the country's capital and seat of government.
Throughout his illustrious career, Cardona Jr. established himself as a masterful director and writer, leaving an indelible mark on the world of cinema with his work on a diverse array of films. Some of his most notable credits include the 1985 adventure film "Treasure of the Amazon", the 1980 action-packed thriller "Under Siege", and the 1977 horror movie "Tintorera: Killer Shark".
Tragically, René Cardona Jr.'s life came to a close on February 5, 2003, in the same city where he was born, Mexico City, Distrito Federal, Mexico.
