The Go-Go Boys: The Inside Story of Cannon Films

About This Movie

The Go-Go Boys offers a fascinating glimpse into the chaotic world of Cannon Films, where Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus operated with a mix of ambition and recklessness. It's got this raw energy, capturing the essence of 80s independent filmmaking with all its highs and lows. The pacing flows like a roller coaster, swinging from triumphs like Breakin' and Missing in Action to the struggles that led to their decline. The doc combines behind-the-scenes anecdotes with a touch of nostalgia, and you can really feel the passion these two had for cinema, right alongside the absurdity of some projects. It’s not just a history lesson; it’s a testament to the wild spirit of an era in film that doesn't really exist anymore.
