And is."" --Mike McPadden, author of Teen Movie Hell and Heavy Metal Movies The Cannon Film Guide Volume I explores forty films and franchises produced by The Cannon Group, the most prolific b-movie studio of the 1980s, during the company's first five years under the command of cult film legends Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus.
