CANNON MONTH 2: Legend (1985)
EDITOR’S NOTE: This originally ran on October 30, 2021. Legend was not produced by Cannon but was released on video in the UK by Cannon Screen Entertainment Limited. This Ridley Scott movie has always stood out from his other work to me, as it’s quite literally a children’s story about the most archetypical battle between the good […]
CANNON MONTH 2: Fake-Out (1982)
EDITOR’S NOTE: Fake-Out was not produced by Cannon. It was, however, released on video in Germany by Cannon Screen Entertainment. Did Matt Cimber make this movie just for me?

CANNON MONTH 2: The Ghoul (1975)
EDITOR’S NOTE: The Ghoul was not produced by Cannon. It’s a Tyburn Film Productions movie. It was, however, released on video VHS in Germany by Cannon/VMP. Tyburn didn’t make all that many movies.
