Sybil Danning
Bluebeard (1972)
Jan 31, 2014Multiple Wife Murderer
The fairytale about a multiple wife murderer is given the lavish costume drama treatment. Featuring Richard Burton at the height of his Bad Actor period in a series of increasingly absurd softcore romps
Battle Beyond the Stars (1980)
Jan 15, 2011Space Opera
Roger Corman jumps aboard the Star Wars fad and offers up a version of The Seven Samurai/The Magnificent Seven located in space. Corman has thrown a reasonable budget at the film for once and it emerges as colourfully enjoyable
Hercules (1983)
Oct 19, 2002Greek Mythological Hero
An incredibly bad Hercules film from Cannon Films made in Italy by Luigi Cozzi. This was the immediate aftermath of Star Wars so we get a bizarre attempt to rework Greek mythology as science-fiction

Cannon Films produced remake of The Seven Samurai as an Italian gladiator film starring Lou Ferrigno
The Howling II (1985)

Amazon Women on the Moon (1987)

Halloween (2007)
Feb 13, 2009Slasher Film
Another inferior entry in the mid-00s fad remake of 70s/80s horror films. Whereas John Carpenter gave us Michael Myers as evil incarnate, Rob Zombie gives us Michael Myers as a misunderstood and unloved kid
Electric Boogaloo: The Wild, Untold Story of Cannon Films (2014)

Absolutely fascinating documentary about Golan and Globus, the producers of a great deal of action, ninja, Chuck Norris and Charles Bronson films in the 1980s, plus many genre works, under the Cannon Films banner
