The Cannon Film Guide is the greatest book anyone could ever write about the greatest movie studio that ever was. And is.
--Mike McPadden, author of Teen Movie Hell and Heavy Metal Movies
The Cannon Film Guide Volume I explores forty films and franchises produced by The Cannon Group, the most prolific b-movie studio of the 1980s, during the company's first five years under the command of cult film legends Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus. Through in-depth studies and behind-the-scenes stories from the people who made them, this volume examines such beloved, VHS-era classics as the Breakin', Missing in Action, Hercules, and Death Wish movies, Revenge of the Ninja, Ninja III: The Domination, The Apple, Bolero, Exterminator 2, The Last American Virgin, and many more.
If you're a fan of Cannon films, or even not a fan, you will be fascinated by Austin Trunick's deep dive into the studio's output. This is an under-reported part of cinema history and this book will delight both film buffs and casual devotees of action-packed movies. This book added to my knowledge, not to mention my testosterone level.
--Frank Conniff, comedian, TV's Mystery Science Theater 3000
A joyful, knowledgeable ode to one of the great film companies of all time, a sprawling epic full of fun stories, interviews, and images, and it delivers on its promise to be the ultimate guide to The Cannon Group and their releases.
--david j. moore, author of The Good, the Tough, and the Deadly and World Gone Wild
