		Nary a trend went unscathed as Cannon Films latched on to one flash in the pan after another, producing as many movies as humanly possible before the trend died out and the next thing came along.
		Hardened fans of the films that tend to settle closer to the bottom of the barrel greet each Cannon Films release as a treat, albeit a treat not unlike a pack of Good 'n' Plenties.
		Say what you will, but these guys know exactly what to cram into their films to assure thousands upon thousands of adolescent boys will be going out of their way to borrow them from friends with premium cable channels or to just watch them between the wavy scrambled lines.

		They released a comic book adaptation of the film in 1996 which was honestly quite bad, and it wasn't enough to quench my appetite.

		In "Underclassman", Nick Cannon is bicycle cop Tre Stokes sent undercover at an elite prep school in order to infiltrate a car thieving ring and solve the murder of a student.

		Cannon is trying to be Eddie Murphy, but he just doesn't get that Murphy has charm and doesn't need to over-exaggerate his punch lines to get laughs.

		When Cannon agreed to finance "Street Smart" in early 1987, it was only on the condition that the film's star Christopher Reeve appear in "Superman IV: The Quest for Peace" after Cannon acquired the superhero property from Warner Brothers.

		A screenplay was never written for this film, but 'Superman V' would have taken advantage of much of the 45 minutes stripped from 'Superman IV: The Quest for Peace'.
		Cannon certainly didn't have the budget to market this film properly, in my opinion.
		Cannon Films thought of using a different actor to continue the series, but eventually the idea was ditched all together and Cannon moved on from the project.

Upon reading them, and watching the movies made by Cannon, it is likely that one will wonder just what was going on behind those closed doors.
		Then, of course, there was that head of distribution, who was known to bring "company" to his office at lunchtime for a quickie or would send his secretary to chase down a particularly good looking woman who passed by his office in order to get her name and number.
		From that point in late December things were fast and furious and the film was shot, scored and edited and in theatres by March.

	The 100 Worst Films of the 20th Century (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		When this awful film played at the Paramount Theater (now the El Capitan) in Hollywood for one week in November 1980, the film's distributor, Cannon Films, offered souvenir soundtrack records to moviegoers on their way in (albums to the first 100 and 45 RPM singles to the next 1,000).
		This film is supposedly their "found footage." Of course, it was all a clever marketing gimmick and wasn't real, but that didn't stop moviegoers from lining up for hours to get a glimpse.
		Set in pre-Revolutionary France and filmed entirely on location there, the film is really a poor excuse for the pair to play multiple roles badly and put most of their family members on the payroll.

		In Cannon's version, we see Snow White as a young child, when her father first marries the Wicked Queen.

		Ebert writes about Golan’s obsession with the Cannes Film Festival in his 1987 book Two Weeks in the Midday Sun: "Cannon’s historical failure to win the Palm d’Or was not through a lack of effort.
		Writes a critic on Imdb.com: "This film [The Forbidden Dance] that was hastily made to cash in on the short-lived 1990 Lambada craze is entertaining, to a point.

	Critic Doctor (Herb Kane) - DVD review by Peter Sobczynski: Tough Guys Don't Dance (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Of all the mini-studios that emerged during the video-fueled boom of the 1980’s, Cannon Films was by far the strangest.
		While they produced a lot of films, very few of them made any money and within a few years, they went belly-up.
		In a catalogue littered with strange films, Cannon never produced a film as wonderfully odd and deranged as Norman Mailer’s "Tough Guys Don’t Dance" (1987), a film that could be described as both an obscurist art movie and a cheesy exploitation vehicle.

		It's an interesting story in that the movie rights to the Fantastic Four, presumably purchased by Neue Constantin Films in the early to mid 80s when no one else was interested, were about to expire in 1994 because no movie was in production.
		Cannon purchased the rights from Marvel when no one else was interested, but went bankrupt before Golan could put a suitable Spiderman project into production.
		It's interesting in that Cannon's rights to the Spiderman movie franchise have today turned out to be worth perhaps several billion dollars to Sony, far more than anyone would have dreamed when they were sold.

		Alas it is an idea that never gets adequate treatment - Dudikoff as the pursuing husband is considered just in his actions and by the happy wrapup ending all her reasons for wanting to leave him have been forgotten.
		Alas this was made on a B-budget from Cannon Films who specialized in a whole of cheapo action films in the 1980s, usually starring Chuck Norris.
		Hamill was going through a period where he was making a determined effort to shake the perpetually boyish typecasting that had dogged him ever since Star Wars (1977).

	ToxicUniverse.com - Sam Firstenberg - 1984 - Ninja III: The Domination Movies Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Perhaps their most infamous cinematic legacy is the ninja film, which became an insanely popular subgenre in the martial arts film category in the early and mid ‘80s.
		Keeping with the Cannon philosophy of churning out sequels as fast as possible, 1984 saw the release of the third and final installment in the series, the ludicrously silly Ninja 3: The Domination--a film that fails on almost every level, but should get a few points for at least trying to be different.
		The film’s one saving grace acting-wise is Kosugi—who still can’t carry a dramatic scene, but cheeses it up whenever possible (and almost certainly unintentionally).

	ToxicUniverse.com - Tobe Hooper - - Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 Movies Review
		TCM is a classic—one of those films that has transcended its exploitation roots and become part of both popular culture and our collective conscience as a whole.
		The film’s final shot is one of those ones where you know everyone involved said "ooh, this’ll be really cool and throw everyone for a loop", but in execution, it fails miserably.
		And even though this film has some interesting ideas, it fails to deliver on many of them—leaving this viewer with an unsatisfied feeling at the film’s conclusion.
