Book review - "The Cannon Film Guide Volume II (1985-1987)"

 The period when Cannon went for the big brass ring. They kept making their bread and butter films - Charles Bronson, Chuck Norris, plus Michael Dudikoff etc - but attacked on two other fronts: classier IP (Runaway Train, Superman 4, Masters of the Universe) and art house stuff. It came crashing down for them but also provided their biggest triumphs - Runaway Train, 52 Pick Up. If Cannon had kept their head down maybe they would've lasted, but if they could've done that they wouldn't have been Cannon. A fun read.
