There were no "Cannon Stories," just One-Sided Gripes

This movie's title is like calling a Warren Beatty biopic ISTHAR instead of CLYDE. Or Henry Ford's biopic, The Edsel. An Otto Preminger celebration called EXODUS. Or a movie about Spielberg called ALWAYS a HOOK.

It's amazing how loaded, one-sided and one-dimensional this supposed documentary was. All the "stories" were just gripes about their former employers, and how they were wannabe filmmaker/producers who... well... actually DID make a bunch of movies, and a lot of them were either good or so bad they're great...

When centering on the real good movies, like Runaway Train, or even the decent sequel of Texas Chainsaw; any and all glories had by Cannon were DESPITE of the men who ran the company. They were either initially against whatever ended up working, or they wanted another thing to happen that would have failed otherwise.

Just amazing how a movie like this gets made in the first place. They spent more time on that fat futsy movie scorer instead of real actors. They hardly centered on blaming particular directors for their failures in order to gain merit for their doc by having the directors as part of the interviews. Instead, of course, it was all about bashing their bosses.

One scene pokes fun at the cast wearing tuxes to a grand premiere in an underground garage. Meanwhile, do you know how many wannabe filmmakers have parties to try making themselves legit; and they don't have nearly what Cannon had.

One IMDB person said this seemed like a movie about Troma instead of Cannon, and that's very true. I just can't believe fans of Cult Movies could sit and watch this movie and not notice and realize how much of a hatchet piece it is. Just amazes one's senses.
