Electric Boogaloo

AroView: A wildly entertaining trip through the heady rise and fall of The Cannon Group - a prolific film production company responsible for countless low-to-medium budget genre ‘classics’ and turkeys in the 1980s, and for the dubious resurrection of the careers of Charles Bronson and Chuck Norris.

Run by expatriat Israeli cousins Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus, whose hands-on, gonzo attitude to art and business left a messy legacy, recounted here by many of the actors and crew who had the (mis)fortune to work with them.

The third in director Mark Hartley’s trilogy on maverick film movements (preceded by NOT QUITE HOLLYWOOD and MACHETE MAIDENS UNLEASHED).
