    I didn't realize this was out on Blu-ray.

    As I posted on my review a few days ago, when I saw that thing emit EMP shockwaves, I was waiting for Gipsy Danger to jump in and empty the clip on it. "No pulse."

    You know what we need? A documentary on the rise and fall of Carolco Pictures. After all, for every Rambo II, T2, and Total Recall, there was a Cutthroat Island.

    What happens when you cast Django as a ninja? You get Enter the Ninja. The final match in a cockfighting ring. Genius.

    Nope. T1 was Orion while T2 was Carolco.

    It's still apples to oranges.

    I'm not gonna ask how much this costs, as Deltatron and Quatran are already in the three-figure mark.

    After finishing this film, I have more respect for Michael Dudikoff than during his whole stint as the American Ninja, even though Golan really held him back (probably in fear that he would upstage Norris and Bronson in their lineup). It's just too bad his career never went beyond that (and that Cobra TV series back in the '90s). It's also a shame how companies with no money push pennies, but when they get a downpour of money, they go berserk with it. The best example is when Cannon plastered the Cannes Film Festival with billboards of hopes and dreams. And I don't mean individual billboards, but an entire block of Cannes. Another one is Over the Top. It had a budget of US$25 million and Golan allocated half of that to Stallone, thinking the star power would rake in the cash. Instead, it made US$16 million at the box office.

    Commercial for a new mini Gunpla series, featuring the voice of Shuuichi "Char Aznable" Ikeda.

    I'm already at 40 minutes in this film, and my head's spinning. Here are my thoughts so far: - Golan & Globus were real cheapskates, right to the point where the staff were on minimum wage and Chinese take-out was their only luxury. Makes you wonder what The Asylum has for dinner on their budget. - The Apple is career suicide for anyone involved in it, but I'm surprised Catherine Mary Stewart was able to rebound from that abyss with a prominent role in The Last Starfighter years later. - That Michael Winner was a real a-hole of a director. I wouldn't be surprised if anyone legitimately got raped on the set of Death Wish II or The Wicked Lady. Marina Sirtis (Counselor Troi in Star Trek: The Next Generation) sure has a lot of guts to open up on the extremely unsafe working conditions that she went through. But that girl who played Charles Bronson's daughter in Death Wish II... she looks so hot for her age now. - Sahara and Brooke Shields being Oscar material? Delusional is not a fitting word to describe Golan when he thought of that. - I really feel sorry for Lucinda Dickey. Breakin' and Ninja III: The Domination are obviously Bad Movie Night material, but she was really, really cute in those films. It's just too bad she allowed Cannon to ruin her film career, and she hasn't really aged well.

    They picked up the rights to Superman after the third one. Warner Bros. gave them a US$14 million budget for Superman IV: The Quest for Peace, but guess what? Golan & Globus took that 14 million and split it between 10 other movies. Now you know why Supes is able to rebuild the Great Wall of China with just his eyes.

    This is Cannon we're talking about. They didn't care about plot, accuracy, or anything to make a proper film. They only cared about keeping the costs as low as possible.

    Here's one of the films featured in the documentary. Ninja III: The Domination is part ninja film, part Flashdance, and part The Exorcist. Total cinematic genius.

    Did you know that Cannon Films had the film rights to Spider-Man in the '80s? Be glad they didn't make one. Oh yeah, this is still the worst Marvel movie ever made.

    Death Wish Revamp with Bruce Willis to Be Helmed by Big Bad Wolves Directors Aharon Keshales and Navot Papushado Nope. It's not Death Wish without Charles Bronson.

    A couple of interview clips from the documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2oTXpLsBSU Also, Red Letter Media celebrated Christmas with a Cannon Marathon.

    The Revenant would've taken home the Oscar for Best Picture if only it had this scene.

    Long before The Asylum existed, there was Cannon Films. After being sold to Israeli cousins Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus, Cannon Films churned out some of the shittiest movies ever produced on a monthly (sometimes even weekly) basis in the 1980s. They were the kings of the B-movie genre, releasing guilty pleasures such as Sho Kosugi's Ninja Trilogy, Chuck Norris' Missing in Action trilogy, Charles Bronson's Death Wish saga, Sylvester Stallone's Cobra and Over the Top, and the American Ninja pentalogy. But that's not all - Cannon was responsible for Masters of the Universe and Superman IV: The Quest for Peace, as well as Robotech: The Untold Story. And who could ever forget their dance classics Breakin' and Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo? To celebrate this fabled production studio, a documentary was released in 2014. Electric Boogaloo: The Wild, Untold Story of Cannon Films features interviews with stars who either made their big break or went broke with Cannon such as Michael "American Ninja" Dudikoff, Dolph "He-Man" Lundgren, Bo Derek (still a "10" for her age), Cassandra "Elvira" Peterson, Marina "Counselor Troi" Sirtis, Alex "Bill S. Preston, ESQ" Winter, and more. Much like Tim Burton's biopic on Ed Wood, this documentary has received critical acclaim worldwide. So what were your favorite Cannon films? Official Facebook Page Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 93% - "Electric Boogaloo: The Wild, Untold Story of Cannon Films pays tribute to the titular studio with an affectionate look back that's arguably more entertaining than much of Cannon's own B-movie product."

    Since it's Zack Snyder week, let's look at the worst film he's directed so far.
