CANNON WEEK 2: Raw Deal (1986)
EDITOR’S NOTE: This originally appeared on July 26, 2022. Raw Deal was not produced by Cannon but was released on video by HBO/Cannon Video. Dino De Laurentiis made this so he could make a quick buck and then make Total Recall. De Laurentiis would eventually file for bankruptcy and sell the rights to Carolco Pictures, who would make […]

CANNON MONTH 2: Something Wild (1986)
EDITOR’S NOTE: Something Wild was not produced by Cannon but was sold on videotape by HBO/Cannon Video. I’ll be perfectly honest: so much of what I find attractive in the opposite sex can best be summed up by a series of Melanie Griffith roles: the toughness of Edith Johnson in Cherry 2000, the smarts of Tess McGill […]
CANNON MONTH 2: Code of Silence (1985)
EDITOR’S NOTE: Hollywood Harry was produced by Orion Pictures but was sold on videotape by HBO/Cannon Video.

CANNON MONTH 2: Night of the Creeps (1986)
EDITOR’S NOTE: This was originally on the site on October 8, 2019. Night of the Creeps was not produced by Cannon but was released on video by HBO/Cannon Video. “The good news is your dates are here.
