Electric Boogaloo: The Wild, Untold Story of Cannon Films

Documentary

A one-of-a-kind story about two-of-a-kind men who (for better or worse) changed film forever.


The critical consensus

This is one documentary that’s a must-see for anyone interested in film history, or seeing hope and enthusiasm triumph critical and financial success.

****(*)Karen Krizanovich, The List, 01/06/2015

Entertaining (more so than most Cannon films), but also insightful about bizarre strands of 1980s film history.

****(*)Kim Newman, Empire Online, 01/06/2015

The owners of Cannon Films are fondly remembered by a panoply of 1980s names, but it’s clear the duo were fonder of deal-making than actual movies.

***(*)(*)Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 04/06/2015

A tribute to the B-movie production company run by two maverick Israeli cousins, with a wealth of clips and frank interviews.
