Watching the final ever Cannon Films release, Hellbound which is a very rare Chuck Norris film that isn't just pure action but incorporating a bunch of religious horror. I have too much of a softspot for shitty Chuck Norris films.

Oh boy... The Apple. I don't know if suggesting bad movie aficionados should watch this is a thing we do on this side of the taste spectrum or if it's a curse. Either way, it's a befuddling movie that almost has to be seen to be believed.

1985's Mata Hari, starring an all time erotic leading lady, Sylvia Kristel, was Cannon's attempt to do something of a historical war epic... but it was also loaded with boobs and sex.

Cannon Films got into the slasher business pretty much right away (of course they did) with 1980's New Year's Evil. This is a movie that is, in truth, very dumb, but dammit, it's watchable as hell.

I see this Rambo film was co-produced by Nu Image (later Millennium), which was a partner/"successor" to Cannon FIlms (where a lot of people went to after Cannon went bust). They even made a mockbuster of Stallone's Cliffhanger, 'Freefall' starring Eric Roberts.
A movie that can capture my attention so quickly and easily and force me to have to study and pick apart every single thing in it to the point of near insanity is 1982's Hospital Massacre (aka X-Ray). It's a movie that is quite honestly mind-boggling.

The first time I reviewed a movie from the man, the myth, the legend, Charles Bronson, came way back in the 102nd review at B-Movie Enema. It was Assassination, but was it Ass Ass in this nation? (shit, not sure that landed, but whatever)

No, I haven't seen any documentaries about them. Maybe I'll have to go looking! Is there a particular one you'd recommend?
Looking briefly, it seems I have access to "The Go-Go Boys: The Inside Story of Cannon Films". Any good?
Following up on 1983's Hercules, Luigi Cozzi went right back to the well for Cannon Films and made a sequel. 1985's The Adventures of Hercules brought Lou Ferrigno back as Herc, but it really doesn't feel like a sequel to the first... other than they are both pretty bad.

Luigi Cozzi's Hercules from 1983 is bonkers. I don't think there are enough words to cover its bonkers nature. It's a fun bad movie. Lou Ferrigno goes hard. He tosses a bear into space. Everything looks real bad. It's an all-timer bad flick.

In 1988, Kathy Ireland was on top of the world as a down-to-earth, girl-next-door supermodel who appeared on magazine covers and selling beers as standees in liquor stores. She was also the star of Cannon Films' Alien from L.A.

Fifty/Fifty (1992)
I get a real kick out of Fifty/Fifty and have seen it more times than I care to mention. It feels like a Greatest Hits compilation of 80's jungle action movies

In 1993 a cheap-o mummy flick based on a Poe story released to video stores. While The Mummy Lives is not an uncommon case of horror that went straight to video or cable in the era, what does make this a funny little movie is that it is one of the late era Cannon films and it also stars Tony Curtis as an Egyptian.

Number One with a Bullet (1987)
Number One with a Bullet is a 80's Cannon action comedy with Robert Carradine and Billy Dee Williams. All can be forgiven as nonsense was Cannon's speciality.

Maybe one of the true superstars of bad movies, The Apple is both an incredibly fun bad movie to watch and also a very painful experience. It's a true unicorn of musical shittiness.

So moving on from Christmas Evil, I then covered New Year's Evil, another endlessly interesting and watchable slasher from Cannon Films. However, it's interesting and watchable for different reasons. It's a bad movie that is one of those fun ones.

In #AvengingForce, director #SamFirstenberg teams up again with #MichaelDudikoff and #SteveJames and has them fight xenophobic MAGA shitheads, which is a pretty rare political statement in the works of #CannonFilms. But so far, so good, I’d love to see more of this. There are great locations and some sick stunts in this latest addition to my #80BMovieChallenge. — #CineMastodon #FilmMastodon

Is there any horror sequel more interesting than The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2? I doubt it. It's a large departure from the original that makes it a target of detractors but also sets the stage for pretty much what to expect for the rest of the franchise's history.

Another movie I have a great deal of fondness for despite it being actually pretty bad is the Chuck Norris/Lou Gossett, Jr. comedy action vehicle Firewalker. Admittedly, pretty much all my affection comes from childhood nostalgia for these types of cable TV wonders.

Just watched "Schizoid", a Cannon Group attempt to cash in on the slasher wave, cutting more corners than victims but ends up absurd enough to be an American giallo.
Also: Klaus Kinski seemed like a... chill dude.

I absolutely adore horror but after an entire month of watching nothing but, I am already planning the other genres of films I wanna watch in November to decompress. Thinking about doing a double feature on the 1st of a Planet of the Apes sequel from the 70s as I resume that series rewatch for the first time in months and Masters of the Universe which I own as part of a 10 movie Cannon Films collection

Sinbad of the Seven Seas is a 1989 Cannon Films adventure fantasy with such a troubled production history you’d expect it to be a trainwreck. In fact it’s magnificent. It makes very little sense but it’s crazy fun from start to finish.

Finally watched Masters of the Universe, the 1987 He-Man movie.
Not a bad movie exactly, just a bit mediocre. Great costumes, decent sets and acting. Dolph Lundgren is pretty good. I found it kind of boring though, as far as Cannon Films go. Nowhere near as entertaining as the Barbarians.
W lipcu 1989 roku ukazał się debiutancki singiel zespołu Kaoma o tytule "Lambada". Cieszył się on ogromnym powodzeniem poza Ameryką Południową, zwłaszcza w Europie, gdzie w wielu krajach dotarł na szczyt list przebojów, co przełożyło się na krótkotrwałą światową popularność tańca, od którego utwór wziął nazwę.
Skłoniło to kilku producentów z różnych zakątków globu do próby kapitalizacji fenomenu lambady, póki jeszcze trwał. W USA na ten pomysł wpadł spec od reklamy Richard L. Albert i zainteresował nim Menahema Golan z The Cannon Group, z którym regularnie współpracował.
Golan uznał to za świetny pomysł i zaczął planować produkcję filmu o "zakazanym tańcu", jak zwano lambadę. Tak się jednak złożyło, że nieco później rozstał się ze swoim kuzynem i wieloletnim partnerem biznesowym, Yoramem Globusem – opuścił przechodzącą wówczas proces drastycznej reorganizacji The Cannon Group, przejmując w ramach rekompensaty należąca wcześniej do grupy firmę produkcyjno-dystrybucyjną 21st Century Film Croporation.
Rozstanie nie odbyło się w przyjaznej atmosferze. Ponadto Globus uznał, że nie ma powodów ku temu, by to nie on miał uszczknąć nieco z tortu popularności (w USA jeszcze antycypowanej) lambady. Wskutek tego Cannon Productions i 21st Century Film Corporation rozpoczęły wyścig o to, która firma prędzej wprowadzi na ekrany film o lambadzie.
Oba przedsiębiorstwa miały w swych rękach poważne atuty. Globus i Cannon Productions przystąpili do realizacji filmu nieco wcześniej, zarejestrowali też w Motion Pictures Association of America tytuł "Lambada", uniemożliwiając jego użycie Golanowi. Ten jednak z kolei wykupił ekskluzywne prawa do wykorzystania w filmie utworu "Lambada" zespołu Keoma.
Oba filmy miały premierę tego samego dnia – 16 marca 1990 roku. Dzieło Cannon Pictures nosiło tytuł "Lambada". Golan musiał zadowolić się tytułem "Zakazany taniec" ("The Forbidden Dance").
Nie przeszkodziło mu to jednak w tym, by w promocji jego filmu przywoływać słowo "lambada" – na materiałach promocyjnych tej produkcji pojawiały się różne warianty hasła głoszącego, że zakazany taniec to lambada ("The Forbidden Dance... is Lambada", "Lambada is... The Forbidden Dance" itp.), a na części z nich człon z nazwą tańca był graficznie bardziej wyeksponowany od właściwego tytułu "Forbidden Dance".
Nie będzie pewnie dla Was niespodzianką, że kapitalizowanie nie do końca zaistniałego na gruncie amerykańskim szału na lambadę przez dwa filmy na temat tego tańca, do tego wprowadzone do kin tego samego dnia, obiło się czkawką obu producentom– żaden z filmów nie okazał się komercyjnym sukcesom. Krytyce pozostało ustalenie, który z nich jest lepszy, co nierzadko robiono w ramach tego samego tekstu, recenzując oba filmy jednocześnie.
Finally saw Texas Chain Saw Massacre 2 yesterday. Really enjoyed it. Compared to the original, it's silly, but also scarier, I think. Definitely more entertaining. The original was kind of slow.
Are the other sequels and remakes worth checking out?
Finally found a copy of King Solomon's Mines (1985) to watch.
I only saw this movie once before, as a very young kid, but I remember loving it for all its crazy adventures. I'm pretty sure I saw it long before ever seeing an Indiana Jones movie.
But as fun as it was to watch again, it's difficult to recommend it. The main reason is that, in hindsight, it's *really, REALLY racist*.
(1/n)
The Barbarians is so stupid; I love it.
The characters are hilariously dumb.
The protagonists are the oiliest, most roided up pair of twins I've ever seen, with a ridiculous donkey laugh.
But what makes it really worth watching are the set and character designs. They capture this great heavy metal aesthetic that personifies the kind of D&D setting I've always wanted to run someday.
7/10
Next up: The Nest (1988)
