Favorite Cannon movie? Or one you watched the most?


It would have to be a tie beteween Master of the Universe (I LOVED the toys, even when interest was waning & thought the movie was GREAT back then) and most watched would have to be the Chuck Norris starrer, Firewalker...the latter due to my father's OBSESSION with that flick on VHS...he thought it was equivalent to an Indiana Jones flick (poor dad! Love 'em though)

Braddock : Missing in Action 3, as good as any of the best action movies released in the 80s & 90s, imo.. followed by Exterminator 2, Invasion USA, Revenge of the Ninja, Platoon Leader, Death Wish 2

Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, Cobra, Masters of the Universe and Death Wish 2 and 3 are the ones I'm most familiar with.

I've recently watched the Missing in Action trilogy and enjoyed them. I actually enjoyed the first one the least, and thought the sequels were more entertaining.

The villains in the sequels are pretty great. Colonel Yin is a smashing magnificent bastard, and General Quoc is so over the top hilarious with the way he spitefully screams the hero's name like a Saturday morning cartoon villain.

Well, if you're talking about which do I think is actually a good movie, I guess Lifeforce comes the closest (never did see Runaway Train). As far as which did I enjoy making fun of the most, which is really about the only thing these awful movies are good for, then Invasion USA is a hoot. Any of the Missing in Action ones are a blast to make fun of, they're all just so terrible, really, you can't go wrong with any Chuck Norris movie, Cannon or not, he's such a terrible actor, and so wooden. The Death Wish sequels are great to goof on, Charles Bronson always looked so embarrassed to be in them.

The Stallone ones were never that much fun to make fun of for me, I guess since I knew he had other options, and could work with quality directors and studios, his presence in bad Cannon movies (as if there's any other kind, lol) was just kind of weird.

There was a period of time when I was a kid where I watched Revenge Of The Ninja nearly every day, and I still love it to this day. Bloodsport would be a close second, followed by Cobra.

My favorites (or the ones I watch the most, at least) include Revenge of the Ninja, Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part Two, Ninja 3: The Domination, Breakin' I and II, Cyborg, Death Wish 2, and the Delta Force series.

Masters of the Universe and Superman IV. Both fascinating to watch, and the documentary definitely explains why SIV made no sense: Golan and Globus just didn't give a *beep*

Death Wish III, Unintentionally hilarious. 10/10

reply

Death Wish III. It's a masterpiece of stupidity, yet good action scenes.

Cobra is also a standout. But I've watched a lot of Cannon movies repeatedly -- Missing in Action, Revenge of the Ninja, the other Death Wish sequels, etc. And Over The Top is hilarious.
