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.

New Year’s Evil (1980)

Cannon Films…  You son of a bitch! It’s been a bit, Cannon.   How have you been, you ol’ salty dog?  Way back at the start of February, we went on a Hospital Massacre together.  I…

Cannon Films cleverly reused leftover scenes from abandoned He-Man and Spider-Man projects after those films were shelved. They initially poured $2 million into the venture and later boosted it with an additional $500K, ultimately reaping $10 million at the box office. #FilmHistory #MovieFacts #BehindTheScenes #CannonFilms #HeMan #movieswithfriends #Blumhouse #becomefriendswiththepod #becomingfriendswith #bfw #AIcaptionsnailedit

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.

X-Ray (aka Hospital Massacre, 1982)

You know what I haven’t had in a while?  The sudden urge to kill myself out of utter desperation. Er…  I mean a Cannon Films movie.  I…  Um.  That’s what’s I meant.  U…

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)

Assassination (1987)

Ah Cannon Films, how I’m glad to be back in your warm embrace. And what’s this?  It’s a Charles Bronson picture this time?  Oh boy.  I’m ready to see some people get their f…

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.
