Electric Boogaloo -The Wild Untold Story Of Cannon Films
Posted: Fri Mar 24, 2017 10:29 pm
Awesome documentary. If you grew up, like me, watching shlock action movies in the 80s, I guarantee most of them were made by Cannon Films. For ten years they made a fortune making B movies for next to nothing and marketing them successfully, until it all finally crashed and burned.
The wife and I had a lot of fun watching this. It's available on Netflix DVD, which is how I watched it, but I also had no problem finding an MP4 copy on torrents.

Rotten Tomatoes gave it a 93% / 83%From acclaimed cult film documentarian Mark Hartley (NOT QUITE HOLLYWOOD, MACHETE MAIDENS UNLEASHED), ELECTRIC BOOGALOO centres on the story of two movie-obsessed immigrant cousins, Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus, who in pursuit of the "American dream" founded an indie studio (Cannon) that would produce over 120 exploitation films from 1979-1989, launching the careers of numerous action stars including Chuck Norris, Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren. Wildly eclectic, Golan and Globus also produced work by such luminaries as Franco Zeffirelli, John Cassavetes and Barbet Schroeder. With relentless energy and sheer nerve, the cousins turned a renegade outfit into a major Hollywood powerhouse.
