      You would probably like a comedian named Pablo Francisco. He does a perfect impression of the 80s Movie Trailer Guy Don LaFontaine. Onstage, he acts out a movie trailer for an upcoming action flick called Little Tortilla Boy... look up the clip.

    Movies like Too Much, where the plot of the movie tends to take a back seat to the "exotic" setting, used to be fairly common. Viewers were expected to be distracted by unfamiliar foreign sights and "those wacky foreigners and their weird ways" and not notice the thinness of the plot and whatever major problems it might have.

    Actually Give a Girl a Break was made as Dutch Treat without the girls and technically, Captain America was filmed years later after Golan left Cannon and took several projects with him that he made under 21st Century. This is a film reel of what could've been and eventually would've messed up like many of Cannon's other films. I love it when Menahem Golan said "I don't know what I could do with 40 Millions on one film. Well, if the budget of Pirates is right then that movie was the start of the downfall of the company and add the Stallone deal (which included Cobra that Warner Bros. distributed on their behalf) at around 25 million and then flops like Over The Top, Masters of the Universe and Superman 4, which had a budget planned of over 30 million by itself and cut down the 17 million and practically killed the film and the company with just that one film alone. Had they really gambled right and left the budget for Superman 4 alone, they easily could've recouped the money within a month at least had the film been very successful and there was no reason it would've been had the Go-Go Boys trusted what everyone was saying and not cutting the budget. Then they would've done Masters of the Universe correctly and as intended after that and not right away with more time to make the script better and also work on the effects which included Orko, who was the important character in the MOTU franchise not being replaced. Good thing they never did Spider-Man because that script was atrocious.

    From the era where endless pages of Cannon project announcements would fill the pages of special Variety editions - some came to pass, many others did not. I'm surprised by the absence of Charles Bronson from any of the titles featured in the promo reel (which seems to enjoy borrowing music from films like "Blade Runner" and "Midnight Express" as he was one of the studio's main stars during the decade. Of the featured titles that were completed I saw a good many of them on video over the years, but the only two from the list that I managed to see theatrically were "52 Pick-Up" (which was great), and "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre II". The promo for the latter was actually incorporated into TV trailers when the movie was released.

    So many clips (and stills) from movies made by other people, scored by music made for other movies. That "In a World..." announcer guy is pretty much the only Cannon produced content involved. And man, is he doing some heavy lifting. These might've been the performances of his lifetime.
    I'm sure the editor had a pretty hefty job too. And I suppose someone had to write the announcer guy's dialog. So that's 3 people who put effort into making this thing. That... sounds about right. The fact that some of these movies actually _were_ made (based on repackaged crap like this) is actually kind of amazing.
    Would've been nice to add a little onscreen indication of which movies were actually made and which weren't. A few of them I know for sure, but there are plenty I've never heard of that are just as likely to exist as not.

      That was Golan/Globus´ usual marketing/financing strategy.
      They would make a promo for a movie, with some movie star´s name attached to it and would shop it around at places like Cannes, trying to get some investor money and sell it to foreign markets. Every year in Cannes, they have the famous film festival with the arthouse movies, but they also have a big movie distribution convention there, where producers & studios try to sell their movies.
      In many cases, the GoGo Boys, would sell a movie to foreign investors, which would never been made and they would use the money for a completely different movie.

    Zorba: The Musical, with Anthony Quinn *again*, more than 20 years later?

    • @rareimer
      @rareimer 3 місяці тому

      So, basically: Shortly after the film was a success, there was a musical adaptation produced on Broadway. It was made by the same people who had written and directed CABARET, and it starred Herschel Bernardi as Zorba. This was a hit, running nearly a year and getting several Tony nominations. Fifteen years later, someone had the idea of reviving it with personnel from the film--specifically, director Michael Cacoyannis and stars Anthony Quinn and Lila Kedrova. (Rob Marshall, who would go on to direct the films CHICAGO and NINE, was also in the cast.) This was an even bigger hit. Golan and Globus had an urge to make musicals, and so they bought the rights. Their version never got made, which is probably for the best, given the quality of the musicals they did get onto the screen--a post-apocalyptic version of THREEPENNY OPERA, and the unbelievable THE APPLE.

    They greenlit nearly everything other studios didn't want
    and risked on sequels and popular culture

    "Too Much" starring Bridgette Andersen. I had to google Bridgette, since she looked like an alien hybrid and I refused to believe she could have been real. She was a former child star who died of a heroin overdose at the age of 21 in 1997. Sigh.
    On the other hand I'm looking forward to seeing Superman IV! I bet it's gonna be his greatest adventure yet!

    I just finished watching Electric Boogaloo, the doc on Cannon films. I highly recommend it as it does explain why Cannon ultimately failed. I'd take a Cannon film from the 80s over direct-to-streaming movies of today. Yeah, they were cheap and cheesy but they were fun.
