Electric Boogaloo: The Wild Untold story of Cannon Films - Greg_phpbb3_import1 - 12-13-2015
(My battle for documentary supremacy with DM continues)
At first I thought this film was actually Electric Boogaloo, only after reading the description did I realize it was actually about Golan-Globus and Cannon films
Things I'd forgotten or didn't realize: They did Superman IV and Over The Top.
Things I vividly remember: They made a crapload of bad films.
They did start the template for make a bunch of exploitation films that fund the important pictures. Only they never got around to making the important pictures. There were a lot of talking heads, some that even look back on their partnership with Cannon fondly or as the best experience of their lives. Many others did not.
But it was a great catalog of cheese. There was Chuck Norris or Michael Dudikoff and even Charles Bronson. it brought back a lot of memories. Some that I would probably like to forget. There were a few interesting stories along the way.
Lots of Ninja fights and boobs and squib packs and horrific special effects.

I started watching this but gave up. And Golan-Globus was just about all MQ6 played, so they figure prominently in the cinematic upbringing for me, ED & LB.
On a parallel note, I did watch Breakin again a few months back. It's so deliciously terrible that I must see Ninja 3: the domination again soon. Viva Lucinda Dickey!
