About This Movie

Electric Boogaloo is a wild ride through the chaotic history of Cannon Films. Mark Hartley dives deep into the absurdity and ambition of Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus. It’s got this energetic pacing that mirrors the films they produced—think over-the-top action and campy charm. The doc is packed with archival footage and interviews that reveal how they thrived on the fringes of Hollywood while delivering some seriously bizarre flicks. The practical effects and outlandish storylines are a highlight, and you can't help but appreciate their reckless drive in a changing industry. It’s a fascinating look at a time when anything seemed possible in independent filmmaking.
