This one gets 3 stars alone just for all the nostalgia...the fourth because of the funny anecdotes about a couple of guys that aimed big, but never really got to where they wanted. They provided a lot of entertainment, though...what would my VHS collection be without Cannon?

Cannon Films were low budget, high action B-movies with names that became famous on the back of it or got a shot in the arm to a failing career. This is a interesting and harrowing look behind the curtain. It's a solid enough documentary but the message is beaten to death. Two relatives who aimed for the stars and reached the clouds. For what they accomplished, I salute them. The movies they were responsible for have not aged well. They were barely passable at the time of the VHS rental market boom! But the impact Cannon had has lasted and informs a lot of the crappy action-led fodder we are fed today. You cannot polish a turd but you can sprinkle 200 million dollars on one and sell it as part of a multi-picture anthology (hint, hint: Marvel) The groundwork laid here lives on. 7/10

I loved this documentary so much as it shows the passion of this movie company but at the same time shows all of the things a movie company should and shouldn't do. Was really entertaining to see how some of these films were made and also shows how Cannon Films really influenced the movie industry for future years. If you love movie, then this is a must-watch.

Even if you don't think you know Cannon Films, you know Cannon Films. They're the low-budget, rapid-fire movie studio who filled out countless VHS rental shelves throughout the 1980s. Under their banner, Chuck Norris became the king of the B action movie. Charles Bronson blasted his way thro More
