- The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2
The success of the Israeli coming-of-age movie Lemon Popsicle helped put producers Golan and Globus in the position to buy Cannon films and establish themselves as kings of 80s cinema, so it’s no surprise that they would want to revisit it when their reach in the U.S. expanded. The Last American Virgin more or less follows the same storyline as Lem...
For all of their wild content, Cannon movies tended to be politically conservative. Many of their best-known movies were about winning the Vietnam War, defeating evil communists, and restoring law and order against drugged-out hippies and also people who aren’t white. And no movie embodied this tendency better than Cobra. After stopping a gunman ho...
Tobe Hooper didn’t want to make another Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The first one may have become a cultural sensation, but he didn’t want to repeat himself. Worse, people failed to see the humor in the first movie, which he considered to be a dark comedy. But when the first movies in his three-picture deal with Cannon flopped, Hooper bit the bullet a...
- Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986) There are a lot of ways in which you could consider Tobe Hooper’s sequel to his 1974 genre-defining classic Texas Chainsaw Massacre a failure.
- Bloodsport (1988) I have a special place in my heart for Bloodsport, the quasi-true story of American martial artist Frank Dux. I spent a beer-drenched afternoon with Bloodsport actor Donald Gibb (aka Ogre from Revenge of the Nerds) at his Chicago bar, Trader Todd’s.
- Love Streams (1984) There’s a terrific part in Electric Boogaloo (the dictionary for this list, really) where the doc reflects on some of the rare and startlingly A-list talent the studio brought in over the years, and among the more noted directors the studio managed to pull in, John Cassavetes made Love Streams for Golan and Globus.
- Powaqqatsi (1988) Surprisingly, one of the biggest critical successes of the Cannon canon is a continuation (it’s hard to call it a sequel) to Godfrey Reggio’s lyrical essay film/documentary Koyaanisqatsi, in which Reggio explores the nature of man’s relationship to technology through breathtaking time-lapse footage, awe-inspiring locations, and a hypnotic and iconic score from Philip Glass.

Sep 20, 2014 · This was the film that Golan was convinced that would put Cannon Films on the map, when instead it went down like a lead balloon at the box office. An utterly bizarre and unique mash up of The Book Of Genesis, the musical/film “Tommy”, a tale of dystopian future and the Eurovision Song Contest, this is a true ‘perfect storm’ of awfulness to the point where it becomes somewhat compelling!
