CANNON MONTH 2: Stone (1974)
EDITOR’S NOTE: This isn’t a Cannon movie, but as I finish out the month, I’m posting the pre-Golan 21st Century movies. When Toad (Hugh Keays-Byrne, Immortan Joe!), a member of the GraveDiggers outlaw motorcycle club, watches an environmentalist get killed by a hitman and several of the members of the club get killed, Detective Stone (Ken Shorter, Dragonslayer) […]
CANNON MONTH 2: The Phantom of Terror (1970)
EDITOR’S NOTE: If you look at the poster for the 21st Century release of The Phantom of Terror and wonder where you’ve seen it before, well, it’s been on the site at least three times with the last appearance being September 16, 2021. That’s right — it’s The Bird with the Crystal Plumage. 21st Century re-released […]
Tales from the Darkside episode 15: “Answer Me”
Directed by Richard Friedman (Scared Stiff, Doom Asylum, Phantom of the Mall) and written by Michael McDowell (Beetlejuice) and Dennis Schuetz, “Answer Me” is nearly a one room, one person episode, as Joan Matlin (Jean Marsh, Return to Oz, Willow) is an actress who is jet lagged by a London to New York City flight and trying to […]
CANNON MONTH 2: Lunatic (1971)
EDITOR’S NOTE: Although released by 21st Century as Lunatic in 1981, this is really a re-release of The Night Visitor, which was on the site on April 10, 2022. Salem (Max Von Sydow) has escaped a near-inescapable insane asylum, a place where he’s been trapped since being wrongly charged with killing a farmhand. Now he truly […]
CANNON MONTH 2: Dr. Minx (1975)
EDITOR’S NOTE: I’m winding down Cannon Month 2 with the films of 21st Century before Menahem Golan got the company. This was originally on the site on May 26, 2021. 21st Century got this movie when they bought out the original Dimension Films and re-released it on a double bill with Cheering Section in 1981 and […]
CANNON MONTH 2: Battle Force (1978)
EDITOR’S NOTE: 21st Century — pre-Menahem Golan — released this film originally known as The Biggest Battle on the Planet Video VHS label. Just look at this cast: Giuliano Gemma, Edwige Fenech, Ida Galli, Helmut Berger, Michele Soavi, Stacy Keach, Ray Lovelock, Samantha Eggar, Henry Fonda, Evelyn Stewart, John Huston and Orson Welles as the narrator. Yes, […]
CANNON MONTH 2: Nightmare (1981)
EDITOR’S NOTE: As I close out the second Cannon Month, I’m looking into the films released by 21st Century. That would include this video nasty, which was first on the site on October 25, 2018. Nightmare is one of the 72 films that violated the British Obscene Publications Act of 1959. In fact, its distributor was […]
