Trivia

The competing documentary Electric Boogaloo was extremely negative towards the movie-makers and the company, and most interviews were from former crew members or actors with small parts who came across very disgruntled. Every movie showcased, even good ones like Runaway Train and Barfly, mentioned something that the two movie-makers did wrong. See more »

Good doco but needed subtitles
16 April 2020 | by chevolekSee all my reviews

It´s an interesting documentary about the famous movies Cannon Group made in the 80s. The problem is that they switch from english to hebrew to french without adding subtitles and you lose about 40% of the dialog in the whole documentary if you don´t speak one or any of these languages . Many times it changed languages even in the same interview so that is a big No No for this Go Go. But at least half of the documentary can be understood.
