Maybe it was the success of the documentary Electric Boogaloo, maybe it was because they detect a growing current of appetite for an alternative to Marvel figurine hegemony, who knows, but Cannon is returning to the fore!
The Cannon Group and Menahem Golan I can really dig and understand. In the midst of a Hollywood that was very much snobbish and had certain ethics and codes – not to mention glass ceilings – Golan and Cannon were the outcasts. The bigwigs did not like Golan or his layman demeanour and turned their noses up at him. Cannon and his response was pretty much along the following lines: Fuck you. The Cannon group kept on keeping on and eventually climbed the ladder, but fell off before reaching the top. They were declared bankrupt and folded in 1994.
Well they’re back. And according to JoBlo, one of their comeback movies will be titled ‘The Return of the Delta Force’. Well alright!
