CANNON MONTH: King Solomon’s Mines (1985)
Richard Chamberlain described this movie as “…very much a Raiders of the Lost Ark type of movie – very tongue-in-cheek and full of adventures and stunts.

CANNON MONTH: Death Wish 3 (1985)
EDITOR’S NOTE: We originally watched this as part of a Death Wish week of movies on November 6, 2018. This might be my favorite Cannon movie.

Chuck was interviewed by the Sun Sentinel and his inspiration: “I thought, “Boy, that’s scary. […]
