CANNON MONTH: Treasure of the Four Crowns (1983)
You can write this movie off as a ripoff of Raiders of the Lost Ark — and it is, right down to the scene with the boulder — but come on. It has an Ennio Morricone score, is a spiritual sequel to Comin’ At Ya! and most importantly it’s in 3D. Made in “SuperVision” and “WonderVision,” the […]
CANNON MONTH: Seven Magnificent Gladiators (1983)
