Electric Boogaloo: The
Wild, Untold Story of Cannon Films (2014)
Written & directed
by Mark Hartley this documentary has contributions from a host of
actors, writers, directors and producers. We follow the fortunes of
two Israeli film makers as they take over The Cannon Group and seek
to make it in the US film market.
This is a fairly
loving look back at a B-movie studio and what drove the people behind
the company. Covering both the good and the very bad the documentary
is a rose tinted love letter but a fair appraisal of what was
achieved by The Cannon Group. It was a shame the two man men
themselves did not take part but with so many other great
contributors it is hard to complain too much.
4/5
